From 42ab37eaad17aee458489c553a367621ee04e0bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Busch Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 08:40:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nvme: module parameter to disable pi with offsets A recent commit enables integrity checks for formats the previous kernel versions registered with the "nop" integrity profile. This means namespaces using that format become unreadable when upgrading the kernel past that commit. Introduce a module parameter to restore the "nop" integrity profile so that storage can be readable once again. This could be a boot device, so the setting needs to happen at module load time. Fixes: 921e81db524d17 ("nvme: allow integrity when PI is not in first bytes") Reported-by: David Wei Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Signed-off-by: Keith Busch --- drivers/nvme/host/core.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/core.c b/drivers/nvme/host/core.c index 09466e2087299..ce20b916301a3 100644 --- a/drivers/nvme/host/core.c +++ b/drivers/nvme/host/core.c @@ -91,6 +91,17 @@ module_param(apst_secondary_latency_tol_us, ulong, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(apst_secondary_latency_tol_us, "secondary APST latency tolerance in us"); +/* + * Older kernels didn't enable protection information if it was at an offset. + * Newer kernels do, so it breaks reads on the upgrade if such formats were + * used in prior kernels since the metadata written did not contain a valid + * checksum. + */ +static bool disable_pi_offsets = false; +module_param(disable_pi_offsets, bool, 0444); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(disable_pi_offsets, + "disable protection information if it has an offset"); + /* * nvme_wq - hosts nvme related works that are not reset or delete * nvme_reset_wq - hosts nvme reset works @@ -1926,8 +1937,12 @@ static void nvme_configure_metadata(struct nvme_ctrl *ctrl, if (head->pi_size && head->ms >= head->pi_size) head->pi_type = id->dps & NVME_NS_DPS_PI_MASK; - if (!(id->dps & NVME_NS_DPS_PI_FIRST)) - info->pi_offset = head->ms - head->pi_size; + if (!(id->dps & NVME_NS_DPS_PI_FIRST)) { + if (disable_pi_offsets) + head->pi_type = 0; + else + info->pi_offset = head->ms - head->pi_size; + } if (ctrl->ops->flags & NVME_F_FABRICS) { /* -- 2.49.0
