Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

2013-07-04T19:30:30+00:00

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "The patch set is mostly driver updates (usf, zfcp, lpfc, mpt2sas,
  megaraid_sas, bfa, ipr) and a few bug fixes.  Also of note is that the
  Buslogic driver has been rewritten to a better coding style and 64 bit
  support added.  We also removed the libsas limitation on 16 bytes for
  the command size (currently no drivers make use of this)"

[SCSI] Allow error handling timeout to be specified

2013-06-04T18:16:24+00:00

Introduce eh_timeout which can be used for error handling purposes. This
was previously hardcoded to 10 seconds in the SCSI error handling
code. However, for some fast-fail scenarios it is necessary to be able
to tune this as it can take several iterations (bus device, target, bus,
controller) before we give up.

[SCSI] Handle MLQUEUE busy response in scsi_send_eh_cmnd

2013-05-10T14:47:44+00:00

scsi_send_eh_cmnd() is calling queuecommand() directly, so
it needs to check the return value here.
The only valid return codes for queuecommand() are 'busy'
states, so we need to wait for a bit to allow the LLDD
to recover.

Based on an earlier patch from Wen Xiong.

[SCSI] Shorten the path length of scsi_cmd_to_driver()

2012-10-09T11:04:42+00:00

This patch tries to shorten the path length of scsi_cmd_to_driver(). As only
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands can be submitted without a driver, so we could
avoid the related NULL checking, as long as we make sure we don't use it for
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC type commands. Plus, this fixes a bug where you get
different behaviors from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands when a driver is and isn't
attached.

[SCSI] Fix 'Device not ready' issue on mpt2sas

2012-08-22T05:42:54+00:00

This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem.

SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2)

        if the device is in the stopped state as the result of
        processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL
        shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION
        status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional
        sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND
        REQUIRED;

mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this.  The result is very confusing
standby behaviour (using hdparm -y).  If you suspend a drive and then send
another command, usually it wakes up.  However, if the next command is a TEST
UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow
the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands.  This
means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and
then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back.  If you send a command and
then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive.

This bit us badly because

commit 85ef06d1d252f6a2e73b678591ab71caad4667bb

    block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)

Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives
connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas
SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command)
resulting in lots of failed commands.

The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we
have to work around it.

The fix for this is twofold:

   1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been
      suspended

   2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any
      further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which
      may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

[SCSI] cleanup setting task state in scsi_error_handler()

2012-07-20T07:58:47+00:00

A quick reading of scsi_error_handler() one could come away with the
impression that it does its wakeup event check while the task state is
TASK_RUNNING.  In fact it sets TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE at the bottom of the
loop, but that is ~50 lines down.

Just set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE at the top of loop and be done.

[SCSI] fix eh wakeup (scsi_schedule_eh vs scsi_restart_operations)

2012-07-20T07:58:46+00:00

Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas
is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe.

A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations()
in the case when scsi_restart_operations() issues i/o to other devices
in the sas domain.  When this happens the host state transitions from
SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and
->host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though
->host_eh_scheduled is active.

Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the
host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through
eh.  Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been
blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those
i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task
timeouts.
