[SCSI] libsas: trim sas_task of slow path infrastructure

2012-07-20T07:58:54+00:00

The timer and the completion are only used for slow path tasks (smp, and
lldd tmfs), yet we incur the allocation space and cpu setup time for
every fast path task.

[SCSI] libsas: use ->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset for ->eh_bus_reset_handler

2012-07-20T07:58:51+00:00

sas_eh_bus_reset_handler() amounts to sas_phy_reset() without
notification of the reset to the lldd.  If this is triggered from
eh-cmnd recovery there may be sas_tasks for the lldd to terminate, so
->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset is warranted.

[SCSI] pm8001: raise host can queue

2012-05-10T08:02:07+00:00

This is a followup to a patch provided by Jack Wang on September 21 2011.

After increasing the CAN_QUEUE to 510 in pm8001 we discovered some performance
degredation from time to time. We needed to increase the MPI queue to
compensate and ensure we never hit that limit. We also needed to double
the margin to support event and administrivial commands that take from
the pool resulting in an occasional largely unproductive command completion
with soft error to the caller when the command pool is overloaded temporarily.

Data type of the 'tag' field of 'fw_flash_Update_resp' should be __le32.

Data type of 'pHeader' should be __le32.  Remove 2nd cast to 'piomb'.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is primarily another round of driver updates (lpfc, bfa, fcoe,
  ipr) plus a new ufshcd driver.  There shouldn't be anything
  controversial in here (The final deletion of scsi proc_ops which
  caused some build breakage has been held over until the next merge
  window to give us more time to stabilise it).

  I'm afraid, with me moving continents at exactly the wrong time,
  anything submitted after the merge window opened has been held over to
  the next merge window."

1. Fix endian issue.
2. Fix the following warning :
    " drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c:2932:32: warning: comparison
      between ‘enum sas_device_type’ and ‘enum sas_dev_type’".
3. Few code optimization.

[SCSI] pm8001: Fix possible racing condition.

2012-02-29T22:52:59+00:00

There is a possble racing scenario.

'process_oq' is called by two routines, as shown below.

pm8001_8001_dispatch = {
         .......

        .isr             = pm8001_chip_isr --> process_oq,// A
        .isr_process_oq  = process_oq,                   //  B
        .....
}

process_oq() --> process_one_iomb() --> mpi_sata_completion()

In 'mpi_sata_completion', "pm8001_ha->lock" is first released.
It means lock is taken before,  which is true for
the context A, as 'pm8001_ha->lock' is taken in 'pm8001_chip_isr()'

But for context B there is no lock taken before and pm8001_ha->lock
is unlocked in 'mpi_sata_completion()'. This may unlock the lock
taken in context A. Possible racing ??

If 'pm8001_ha->lock' is taken in 'process_oq()' instead of
'pm8001_chip_isr' then the above issue can be avoided.

[SCSI] pm8001: Fix bogus interrupt state flag issue.

2012-02-29T22:49:55+00:00

Static checker is giving following warning:
" error: calling 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' with bogus flags"

The code flow is as shown below:
process_oq() --> process_one_iomb --> mpi_sata_completion

In 'mpi_sata_completion'
the first call for 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' is with flags=0,
which is as good as 'spin_unlock_irq()' ( unconditional interrupt
enabling).

So for better performance 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' can be replaced
with 'spin_unlock_irq()' and 'spin_lock_irqsave()' can be replaced by
'spin_lock_irq()'.
