Hi Ming,

I wrote this against your devel-v3 branch.  I'm wondering if you plan to
send a new version of the kernel patch soon? From the latest
discussions, I don't think there were major issues found on review. :)

I hope people don't mind I cc'd linux-block about this userspace code.
Please, let me know if I shouldn't do that.

The number of sectors read/written is used to verify forward progress of
the request inside the kernel.  If we return 0 here, the kernel
understands that as an IO failure (see first check in ubd_complete_rq),
and will reissue the request, causing an infinite loop of unfullfilled
requests.  This can be reproduced with:

  ubdsrv/ubd add -t null -n0 -q1 -d1
  dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/ubdb0 count=1 bs=4k

The approach minics nullblk, which returns the total IO size.

Yeah, that is on my todo list:

https://github.com/ming1/linux/commits/my_for-5.19-ubd-devel_v3

there has lots cleanup & improvement.

One problem is the driver name, and Christoph thought we have
'arch/um/drivers/ubd*.c'. Not thought of one good candidate yet.

This issue was actually fixed in master branch, and there are actually lots
of change in master:

- switch to liburing
- switch to c++, and use c++20 coroutine for ->handle_io_async()
- all kinds of cleanup

I am actually working on ubd-qcow2 with above, but that may take a while and
the code isn't posted yet. The motivation is that the whole framework can
get verified well enough with one complicated target implementation.

Thanks,
Ming

Hi Ming,

Thanks for the info, and sorry for not noticing the fix merged on Jun, 3rd
on the master branch.  I will follow that branch when testing and submit
fixes I find along the way.

I guess you have considered a lot of names, but I'd suggest any of:

 * blkuser,
 * ublk
 * BUSE (as in Block FUSE, though there is another non-upstream
project with that name),
 * UBIO (as in UIO, but for Block IO)
 * B2U (Block IO Backed by userspace) :-P

TBH, my favorite is ublk.

Thank you,

Me too, will change to it in v3 if no one objects.
