Linux kernel only supports logical block sizes which are power of two, at least 512 bytes and no more that PAGE_SIZE. Check this instead of crashing later on. Note that there is no need to check physical block size since it is only a hint, and virtio-blk already only supports power of two values.

This patch series aims to move the logical block size checking to the block code. This was inspired by missing check for valid logical block size in virtio-blk which causes the kernel to crash in a weird way later on when it is invalid. I added blk_is_valid_logical_block_size which returns true iff the block size is one of supported sizes. I added this check to virtio-blk, and also converted

virtio-scsi currently has limit of 8 outstanding notifications so when more that 8 LUNs are unplugged, some are missed. Commit 5ff843721467 ("scsi: virtio_scsi: unplug LUNs when events missed") Fixed this by checking the 'event overflow' bit and manually scanned the bus to see which LUNs are still there. However there is a corner case when all LUNs are unplugged. In this case

Currently virtio-blk driver does not provide discard feature flag, so the filesystems which built on top of the block device will not send discard command. This is okay for HDD backend, but it will impact the performance for SSD backend. Add a feature flag VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD and command VIRTIO_BLK_T_DISCARD to extend exist virtio-blk protocol, define 16 bytes discard descriptor for each discard

Print the capacity of the block device when the driver is probed. Many users expect this since SCSI disks (sd) do it. Moreover, kernel dmesg output is the primary source of troubleshooting information so it's helpful to include the disk size there. The capacity is already printed by virtio_blk when a resize event occurs. Extract the code and reuse it from virtblk_probe(). This patch also

Existing virtio-blk protocol doesn't have DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES command support, this will impact the performance when using SSD backend over file systems. The idea here is using 16 Bytes payload as one descriptor for DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES command, users can put several ranges into one command, for the purpose to support such feature, two feature flags

Hi, Here is my patch queue I accumulated over quite a long time. Patches 1-6 are bugfixes, and rest is mostly RFC. Comments are welcome. Best regards, Maxim Levitsky

Hi, These patches try to support multi virtual queues(multi-vq) in one virtio-blk device, and maps each virtual queue(vq) to blk-mq's hardware queue. With this approach, both scalability and performance on virtio-blk device can get improved. For verifying the improvement, I implements virtio-blk multi-vq over qemu's dataplane feature, and both handling host notification from each vq and
