[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands

2012-02-19T16:14:52+00:00

We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.

The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.

If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.

Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

[SCSI] Correctly set the scsi host/msg/status bytes

2012-02-19T14:08:59+00:00

Resubmitting as my previous post had format issues and did not go llinux-scsi.
This patch changes the function to set_msg_byte, set_host_byte and
set_driver_byte to correctly set the corresponding bytes appropriately.

It will reset the original setting and correctly set it to the new value.  The
previous OR operation does not always set it back to new value. Look at patch
2/2 for an example.

[SCSI] Deprecate SCSI_PROT_*_CONVERT operations

2009-10-02T14:46:25+00:00

The checksum format is orthogonal to whether the protection information
is being passed on beyond the HBA or not.  It is perfectly valid to use
a non-T10 CRC with WRITE_STRIP and READ_INSERT.

Consequently it no longer makes sense to explicitly refer to the
conversion in the protection operation.  Update sd_dif and lpfc
accordingly.

block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors

2009-05-11T07:50:54+00:00

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.

While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

[ Impact: use pos and nr_sectors accessors ]

[SCSI] Make scsi.h independent of the rest of the scsi includes

2009-03-12T17:58:13+00:00

This allows it to compile and be used on the ps3 platform that wants
to use the #define values in scsi.h without actually having
CONFIG_SCSI set.

block: unify request timeout handling

2008-10-09T06:56:13+00:00

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.

Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

[SCSI] Support devices with protection information

2008-07-26T19:14:55+00:00

Implement support for DMA of protection information for devices that
are data integrity capable.

 - Add support for mapping an extra scatter-gather list containing
   the protection information.

 - Allocate protection scsi_data_buffer if host is DIX (integrity DMA)
   capable.

 - Accessor function for checking whether a device has protection
   enabled.

[SCSI] Command protection operation

2008-07-26T19:14:54+00:00

Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told
explicitly how to handle the I/O.  The controller has no knowledge of
the protection capabilities of the target device so this information
must be passed in the scsi_cmnd.

 - The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or
   verify protection information.

 - The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
   formatted with.  This is necessary because the controller must be
   able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
   order to verify it.

 - When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
   operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in
   progress.

 - prot_op and prot_type are placed in an existing hole in scsi_cmnd
   and don't cause the structure to grow.

[SCSI] add support for variable length extended commands

2008-05-02T16:33:25+00:00

Add support for variable-length, extended, and vendor specific
CDBs to scsi-ml. It is now possible for initiators and ULD's
to issue these types of commands. LLDs need not change much.
All they need is to raise the .max_cmd_len to the longest command
they support (see iscsi patch).

- clean-up some code paths that did not expect commands to be
  larger than 16, and change cmd_len members' type to short as
  char is not enough.
