Using Linux Block Integrity in Building and Testing Storage Systems

Tuesday, February 25, 2020 - 9:00 am9:30 am

Mikhail Malygin, Yadro

Abstract: 

Linux block integrity is a well-known block layer subsystem that helps to detect and prevent data corruption. This talk is based on hands on experience in building and testing storage systems and provides solutions for challenges faced in the block integrity stack. It also covers specifics of integrity implementation in SCSI or NVMe kernel drivers as well as in virtual environments: qemu, virtio, vhost.
