Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: fix alignment mismatch.

This fixes the mismatch of alignments between csd and its use as an
argument to smp_call_function_single_async, which causes build failure
when -Walign-mismatch in Clang is used.

That link does not work. You probably meant
http://crbug.com/1193732

You'll probably want drop the link and to copy the relevant information
directly into the patch description. Generate the error with an upstream
kernel and cut-and-paste the output here.

For others, the observed error message is:

block/blk-mq.c:622:44: error: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte
aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result
in an unaligned pointer access [-Werror,-Walign-mismatch]

Thanks,
Guenter

Thanks for the patch. This is effectively a revert of commit
4ccafe032005 ("block: unalign call_single_data in struct request"),
which I had brought up in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210310182307.zzcbi5w5jrmveld4@archlinux-ax161/

This is obviously a correct fix, I am not just sure what the impact to
'struct request' will be.

Cheers,
Nathan

As commit 4ccafe032005 states, it increases the request structure size.
Given the exchange referenced above, I think we'll need to disable
the warning in the block code.

If the structure is allocated on-stack then aligning it
requires the compiler generate the rather horrid
'double stack frame' for the function.

Possibly the unaligned 'struct' should be used by all
the code except for a few places where it makes sense
to allocate an aligned item?

Hi Nathan,

I just realized you already proposed solutions for skipping the check
in https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20210310225240.4epj2mdmzt4vurr3@archlinux-ax161/#t.
Do you have any plans to send them for review?

I was hoping to gather some feedback on which option would be preferred
by Jens and the other ClangBuiltLinux folks before I sent them along. I
can send the first just to see what kind of feedback I can gather.

Either approach is fine by me. The smaller might be easier to get
accepted into stable. The larger approach will probably become more
useful in the future (having the diag infra work properly with clang).
I think the ball is kind of in Jens' court to decide. Would doing
both be appropriate, Jens? Have the smaller patch tagged for stable
disabling it for the whole file, then another commit on top not tagged
for stable that adds the diag infra, and a third on top replacing the
file level warning disablement with local diags to isolate this down
to one case? It's a fair but small amount of churn IMO; but if Jens
is not opposed it seems fine?

So this issue is blocking the LLVM upgrading on ChromeOS. Nathan, do
you mind sending out the smaller patch like Nick suggested just to see
what feedback we could get? I could send it for you if you are busy,
and please let me know what tags I should use in that case.

I will go ahead and send the smaller patch at some point today.

For what it's worth, Nick brought up https://reviews.llvm.org/D100037,

Subject: [PATCH] block: Disable -Walign-mismatch for blk-mq.c

LLVM 13 adds a new warning, -Walign-mismatch, which has an instance in
blk_mq_complete_send_ipi():

block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to
32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may
result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &rq->csd);
^
1 warning generated.

This is expected after commit 4ccafe032005 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request"), which purposefully unaligned the
structure to save space. Given that there is no real alignment
requirement and there have been no reports of issues since that change,
it should be safe to disable the warning for this one translation unit.
