H A Discsi.c95eaa785 Wed Sep 07 16:27:20 CDT 2016 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> iscsi: Fix divide-by-zero regression on raw SG devices

When qemu uses iscsi devices in sg mode, iscsilun->block_size
is left at 0. Prior to commits cf081fca and similar, when
block limits were tracked in sectors, this did not matter:
various block limits were just left at 0. But when we started
scaling by block size, this caused SIGFPE.

Then, in a later patch, commit a5b8dd2c added an assertion to
bdrv_open_common() that request_alignment is always non-zero;
which was not true for SG mode. Rather than relax that assertion,
we can just provide a sane value (we don't know of any SG device
with a block size smaller than qemu's default sizing of 512 bytes).

One possible solution for SG mode is to just blindly skip ALL
of iscsi_refresh_limits(), since we already short circuit so
many other things in sg mode. But this patch takes a slightly
more conservative approach, and merely guarantees that scaling
will succeed, while still using multiples of the original size
where possible. Resulting limits may still be zero in SG mode
(that is, we mostly only fix block_size used as a denominator
or which affect assertions, not all uses).

cf081fca Wed Jun 01 16:10:02 CDT 2016 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> block: Track write zero limits in bytes

Another step towards removing sector-based interfaces: convert
the maximum write and minimum alignment values from sectors to
bytes. Rename the variables to let the compiler check that all
users are converted to the new semantics.

The maximum remains an int as long as BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS
is constrained by INT_MAX (this means that we can't even
support a 2G write_zeroes, but just under it) - changing
operation lengths to unsigned or to 64-bits is a much bigger
audit, and debatable if we even want to do it (since at the
core, a 32-bit platform will still have ssize_t as its
underlying limit on write()).

Meanwhile, alignment is changed to 'uint32_t', since it makes no
sense to have an alignment larger than the maximum write, and
less painful to use an unsigned type with well-defined behavior
in bit operations than to have to worry about what happens if
a driver mistakenly supplies a negative alignment.

Add an assert that no one was trying to use sectors to get a
write zeroes larger than 2G, and therefore that a later conversion
to bytes won't be impacted by keeping the limit at 32 bits.

Improve the documentation of the write zeroes limits, to mention
additional constraints that drivers should observe. Worth squashing
into commit cf081fca, if that hadn't been pushed already :)
