Jeff Moyer reports:
With a device dax alignment of 4KB or 2MB, I get sigbus when running
the attached fio job file for the current kernel (4.11.0-rc1+). If
I specify an alignment of 1GB, it works.
I turned on debug output, and saw that it was failing in the huge
fault code.
dax dax1.0: dax_open
dax dax1.0: dax_mmap
dax dax1.0: dax_dev_huge_fault: fio: write (0x7f08f0a00000 -
dax dax1.0: __dax_dev_pud_fault: phys_to_pgoff(0xffffffffcf60
dax dax1.0: dax_release
fio config for reproduce:
[global]
ioengine=dev-dax
direct=0
filename=/dev/dax0.0
bs=2m
[write]
rw=write
[read]
stonewall
rw=read
The driver fails to fallback when taking a fault that is larger than
the device alignment, or handling a larger fault when a smaller
mapping is already established. While we could support larger
mappings for a device with a smaller alignment, that change is
too large for the immediate fix. The simplest change is to force
fallback until the fault size matches the alignment.
