<title>SCSI: Retry commands with UNIT_ATTENTION sense codes to fix ext3/ext4 I/O error</title>

commit 77a4229719e511a0d38d9c355317ae1469adeb54 upstream.

There's nastyness in the way we currently handle barriers (and
discards): They're effectively filesystem commands, but they get
processed as BLOCK_PC commands.  Unfortunately BLOCK_PC commands are
taken by SCSI to be SG_IO commands and the issuer expects to see and
handle any returned errors, however trivial.  This leads to a huge
problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any
trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error
to the filesystem.

The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of
offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the
case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER.  A correct fix would involve a rework of
the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a
quick fix.

commit c213e1407be6b04b144794399a91472e0ef92aec upstream.

Some arrays are giving I/O errors with ext3 filesystems when
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE gets a UNIT_ATTENTION.  What is happening is that
these commands have no retries, so the UNIT_ATTENTION causes the
barrier to fail.  We should be enable retries here to clear any
transient error and allow the barrier to succeed.

commit 5447ed6c968e7270b656afa273c2b79d15d82edd upstream.

In the scsi_debug driver, the virtual_gb option ignores the
sector_size, implicitly assuming that is 512 bytes.  So if
'virtual_gb=1 sector_size=4096' the result is an 8 GB (virtual) disk.

commit d3305f3407fa3e9452079ec6cc8379067456e4aa

    [SCSI] libiscsi: don't increment cmdsn if cmd is not sent

in 2.6.32.

When I moved the hdr-&gt;cmdsn after init_task, I added
a bug when header digests are used. The problem is
that the LLD may calculate the header digest in init_task,
so if we then set the cmdsn after the init_task call we
change what the digest will be calculated by the target.

Correct issues where the lower scsi-status would be improperly

the proper residual-count checks are performed.  Finally,
validate firmware status flags prior to assigning values from the

<title>skip sense logging for some ATA PASS-THROUGH cdbs</title>

commit e7efe5932b1d3916c79326a4221693ea90a900e2 upstream.

Further to the lsml thread titled:
"does scsi_io_completion need to dump sense data for ata pass through (ck_cond =
1) ?"

This is a patch to skip logging when the sense data is
associated with a SENSE_KEY of "RECOVERED_ERROR" and the
additional sense code is "ATA PASS-THROUGH INFORMATION
AVAILABLE". This only occurs with the SAT ATA PASS-THROUGH
commands when CK_COND=1 (in the cdb). It indicates that
the sense data contains ATA registers.

Smartmontools uses such commands on ATA disks connected via
SAT. Periodic checks such as those done by smartd cause
nuisance entries into logs that are:
    - neither errors nor warnings
    - pointless unless the cdb that caused them are also logged

If the port state is blocked and the fast io fail tmo has
fired then this patch will fail bsg requests immediately.
This is needed if userspace is sending IOs to test the transport
like with fcping, so it will not have to wait for the dev loss tmo.
With this patch he bsg req fast io fail code behaves like the normal
and sg io/passthrough fast io fail.
