[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Retry the check-condition in case Mode Parameters Changed

2012-01-10T23:01:24+00:00

This patch adds a check-condition in scsi_dh_alua handler for a retry.
Sometimes, I have seen attach failing due to this check-condition with
following error messages on NetApp E series storage.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Fix the time inteval for alua rtpg commands

2011-11-03T07:18:10+00:00

This patch corrects the retry interval for alua rtpg command. Purpose was to retry the commands in seconds.
But that was not happening. Reason is msleep takes argument in milliseconds.

Also added minor text after successful attach.

scsi: Fix up files implicitly depending on module.h inclusion

2011-10-31T23:31:24+00:00

The module.h header was implicitly present everywhere, so files
with no explicit include of the module infrastructure would build
anyway.  We are now removing the implicit include, and so we need
to call out the module.h file that we need explicitly.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Add one more check-condition for alua handler

2011-10-16T15:57:27+00:00

This patch adds one more check-condition for scsi_dh_alua handler. Without
this, the handler attach fails sometimes during the discovery. I have noticed
this with NetApp E-Series storage with alua mode. Also removed some
unnecessary brackets {} for consistency.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Decrease retry interval

2011-08-30T19:33:06+00:00

The alua device handler starts the first retry after 10 seconds,
and increases it times 10 for each round.
This leads to an unnecessary delay. This patch modifies it to
start after one second, and increase by a factor of two.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Fix Erroneous TPG ID check

2011-08-30T19:32:41+00:00

For Target Portal Group IDs occupying the full 2 bytes in the
RTPG response, the following group_id check in the alua_rtpg
routine always fails in scsi_dh_alua.c:

if (h->group_id == (ucp[2] << 8) + ucp[3]) {

This causes the ALUA handler to wrongly identify the AAS of
a specified device as well as incorrectly interpreting the
supported AAS of the target as seen by the following entries
in the /var/log/messages:

"alua: port group 3ea state A supports tousna"
"alua: port group 3e9 state A supports tousna"

This is because 'ucp' is wrongly declared in alua_rtpg as
a character pointer instead of an unsigned character pointer.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: always update TPGS status on activate

2011-08-30T19:31:03+00:00

When activating a patch we should always update the TPGS state
as it might have changed in between.

[SCSI] scsi_dh: Implement match callback function

2011-08-30T19:28:30+00:00

Some device handler types are not tied to the vendor/model
but rather to a specific capability. Eg ALUA is supported
if the 'TPGS' setting in the standard inquiry is set.
This patch implements a 'match' callback for device handler
which supersedes the original vendor/model lookup and
implements the callback for the ALUA handler.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Evaluate TPGS setting from inquiry data

2011-08-30T19:26:49+00:00

Instead of issuing a standard inquiry from within the
alua device handler we can evaluate the TPGS setting from
the existing inquiry data of the sdev and save us the I/O.
