tcm_fc: Work queue based approach instead of managing own thread and event based mechanism

2011-09-16T09:50:09+00:00

Problem: Changed from wake_up_interruptible -> wake_up_process and
wait_event_interruptible-> schedule_timeout_interruptible broke the FCoE
target.  Earlier approach of wake_up_interruptible was also looking at
'queue_cnt' which is not necessary, because it increment of 'queue_cnt'
with wake_up_inetrriptible / waker_up_process introduces race condition.

Fix: Instead of fixing the code which used wake_up_process and remove
'queue_cnt', using work_queue based approach is cleaner and acheives
same result. As well, work queue based approach has less programming
overhead and OS manages threads which processes work queues.

This patch is developed by Christoph Hellwig and reviwed+validated by
Kiran Patil.

tcm_fc: Invalidation of DDP context for FCoE target in error conditions

2011-09-16T09:29:27+00:00

Problem: HW DDP context wasn;t invalidated in case of ABORTS, etc...
This leads to the problem where memory pages which are used for DDP
as user descriptor could get reused for some other purpose (such as to
satisfy new memory allocation request either by kernel or user mode threads)
and since HW DDP context was not invalidated, HW continue to write to
those pages, hence causing memory corruption.

Fix: Either on incoming ABORTS or due to exchange time out, allowed the
target to cleanup HW DDP context if it was setup for respective ft_cmd.
Added new function to perform this cleanup, furthur it can be enhanced
for other cleanup activity.

Additinal Notes: To avoid calling ddp_done from multiple places, composed
the functionality in helper function "ft_invl_hw_context" and it is being
called from multiple places. Cleaned up code in function "ft_recv_write_data"
w.r.t DDP.

target: Convert acl_node_lock to be IRQ-disabling

2011-08-22T19:28:36+00:00

With qla2xxx, acl_node_lock is taken inside qla2xxx's hardware_lock,
which is taken in hardirq context.  This means acl_node_lock must become
an IRQ-disabling lock; in particular this fixes lockdep warnings along
the lines of

    ======================================================
    [ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]

     (&(&se_tpg->acl_node_lock)->rlock){+.....}, at: [] transport_deregister_session+0x92/0x140 [target_core_mod]

    and this task is already holding:
     (&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [] qla_tgt_stop_phase1+0x57/0x2c0 [qla2xxx]
    which would create a new lock dependency:
     (&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock){-.-...} -> (&(&se_tpg->acl_node_lock)->rlock){+.....}

    but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock:
     (&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock){-.-...}

    to a HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe lock:
     (&(&se_tpg->acl_node_lock)->rlock){+.....}

tcm_fc: init/exit functions should not be protected by "#ifdef MODULE"

2011-08-22T19:26:32+00:00

There's no need for the #ifdef protection when building into the kernel,
and in fact we need the module_init() for the initialization function to
be called.

Added new function to perform this cleanup, furthur it can be enhanced
for other cleanup activity.  Fix ft_recv_write_data() to properly handle
fc_frame_payload_get to return pointer to payload if it exist. If there is
no payload which is most common case (+ve case in case if DDP is working
as expected, it will return NULL. Yes, scope of buf is limited to printk.
Invalidation of HW context (which is done inside ft_invl_hw_context() is
necessary in SUCCESS and FAILURE case of DDP. Hence invalidation is DONE
as long as there was DDP setup (whether it worked correctly or not,

NOTE: For some reason, if there is any error w.r.t DDP such as out of
order packet reception, HW simply post the full packet in rx queue.

target: Follow up core updates from AGrover and HCH (round 4)

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
changes.  This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!

These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.

target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
target: Remove direct ramdisk code
target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().
target: Remove custom debug macros in mainline fabrics
target: Set WSNZ=1 in block limits VPD. Abort if WRITE_SAME sectors = 0
target: Remove transport do_se_mem_map callback
target: Further simplify transport_free_pages
target: Redo task allocation return value handling
target: Remove extra parentheses
target: change alloc_task call to take *cdb, not *cmd

target: Eliminate usage of struct se_mem

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

Both backstores and fabrics use arrays of struct scatterlist to describe
data buffers. However TCM used struct se_mems, basically a linked list
of scatterlist entries. We are able to simplify the code by eliminating
this intermediate data structure and just using struct scatterlist[]
throughout.

Also, moved attachment of task to cmd out of transport_generic_get_task
and into allocate_control_task and allocate_data_tasks. The reasoning
is that it's nonintuitive that get_task should automatically add it to
the cmd's task list -- it should just return an allocated, initialized
task. That's all it should do, based on the function's name, so either the
function shouldn't do it, or the name should change to encapsulate the
entire essence of what it does.

(nab: Fix compile warnings in tcm_fc, and make transport_kmap_first_data_page
 honor sg->offset for SGLs from contigious memory with TCM_Loop, and
 fix control se_cmd descriptor memory leak)
