Revision a9ce385344f916cd1c36a33905e564f5581beae9 authored by Jens Axboe on 15 September 2023, 19:14:23 UTC, committed by Mike Snitzer on 15 September 2023, 19:39:59 UTC
dm looks up the table for IO based on the request type, with an
assumption that if the request is marked REQ_NOWAIT, it's fine to
attempt to submit that IO while under RCU read lock protection. This
is not OK, as REQ_NOWAIT just means that we should not be sleeping
waiting on other IO, it does not mean that we can't potentially
schedule.

A simple test case demonstrates this quite nicely:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        struct iovec iov;
        int fd;

        fd = open("/dev/dm-0", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
        posix_memalign(&iov.iov_base, 4096, 4096);
        iov.iov_len = 4096;
        preadv2(fd, &iov, 1, 0, RWF_NOWAIT);
        return 0;
}

which will instantly spew:

where in fact it is dm itself that attempts to allocate a bio clone with
GFP_NOIO under the rcu read lock, regardless of the request type.

Fix this by getting rid of the special casing for REQ_NOWAIT, and just
use the normal SRCU protected table lookup. Get rid of the bio based
table locking helpers at the same time, as they are now unused.

Description
===========

This module is a very simple fake I2C/SMBus driver.  It implements six
types of SMBus commands: write quick, (r/w) byte, (r/w) byte data, (r/w)
word data, (r/w) I2C block data, and (r/w) SMBus block data.

You need to provide chip addresses as a module parameter when loading this
driver, which will then only react to SMBus commands to these addresses.

No hardware is needed nor associated with this module.  It will accept write
quick commands to the specified addresses; it will respond to the other
commands (also to the specified addresses) by reading from or writing to
arrays in memory.  It will also spam the kernel logs for every command it
handles.

A pointer register with auto-increment is implemented for all byte
operations.  This allows for continuous byte reads like those supported by
EEPROMs, among others.

SMBus block command support is disabled by default, and must be enabled
explicitly by setting the respective bits (0x03000000) in the functionality
module parameter.

SMBus block commands must be written to configure an SMBus command for
SMBus block operations. Writes can be partial. Block read commands always
return the number of bytes selected with the largest write so far.

The typical use-case is like this:

	1. load this module
	2. use i2cset (from the i2c-tools project) to pre-load some data
	3. load the target chip driver module
	4. observe its behavior in the kernel log

There's a script named i2c-stub-from-dump in the i2c-tools package which
can load register values automatically from a chip dump.

Parameters
==========

int chip_addr[10]:
	The SMBus addresses to emulate chips at.

unsigned long functionality:
	Functionality override, to disable some commands. See I2C_FUNC_*
	constants in <linux/i2c.h> for the suitable values. For example,
	value 0x1f0000 would only enable the quick, byte and byte data
	commands.

u8 bank_reg[10], u8 bank_mask[10], u8 bank_start[10], u8 bank_end[10]:
	Optional bank settings. They tell which bits in which register
	select the active bank, as well as the range of banked registers.

Caveats
=======

If your target driver polls some byte or word waiting for it to change, the
stub could lock it up.  Use i2cset to unlock it.

If you spam it hard enough, printk can be lossy.  This module really wants
something like relayfs.
