[SCSI] scsi_dh: Implement match callback function

2011-08-30T19:28:30+00:00

Some device handler types are not tied to the vendor/model
but rather to a specific capability. Eg ALUA is supported
if the 'TPGS' setting in the standard inquiry is set.
This patch implements a 'match' callback for device handler
which supersedes the original vendor/model lookup and
implements the callback for the ALUA handler.

[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Evaluate TPGS setting from inquiry data

2011-08-30T19:26:49+00:00

Instead of issuing a standard inquiry from within the
alua device handler we can evaluate the TPGS setting from
the existing inquiry data of the sdev and save us the I/O.

scsi: remove performance regression due to async queue run

2011-05-17T09:04:44+00:00

Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.

Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.

Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:

scsi_request_fn()
        scsi_dispatch_cmd()
                scsi_queue_insert()
                        __scsi_queue_insert()
                                scsi_run_queue()
					scsi_request_fn()
						...

potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.

This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.

[SCSI] ses: Avoid kernel panic when lun 0 is not mapped

2011-03-23T16:36:01+00:00

During device discovery, scsi mid layer sends INQUIRY command to LUN
0. If the LUN 0 is not mapped to host, it creates a temporary
scsi_device with LUN id 0 and sends REPORT_LUNS command to it. After
the REPORT_LUNS succeeds, it walks through the LUN table and adds each
LUN found to sysfs. At the end of REPORT_LUNS lun table scan, it will
delete the temporary scsi_device of LUN 0.

When scsi devices are added to sysfs, it calls add_dev function of all
the registered class interfaces. If ses driver has been registered,
ses_intf_add() of ses module will be called. This function calls
scsi_device_enclosure() to check the inquiry data for EncServ
bit. Since inquiry was not allocated for temporary LUN 0 scsi_device,
it will cause NULL pointer exception.

To fix the problem, sdev->inquiry is checked for NULL before reading it.

[SCSI] scsi_dh: Use scsi_devinfo functions to do matching of device_handler tables.

2011-01-24T18:02:09+00:00

Previously we were using strncmp in order to avoid having to include
whitespace in the devlist, but this means "HSV1000" matches a device
list entry that says "HSV100", which is wrong.  This patch changes
scsi_dh.c to use scsi_devinfo's matching functions instead, since they
handle these cases correctly.

scsi/sd: add a no_read_capacity_16 scsi_device flag

2010-10-22T17:22:05+00:00

I seem to have a knack for digging up buggy usb devices which don't work
with Linux, and I'm crazy enough to try to make them work.  So this time a
friend of mine asked me to get an mp4 player (an mp3 player which can play
videos on a small screen) to work with Linux.

It is based on the well known rockbox chipset for which we already have an
unusual devs entries to work around some of its bugs.  But this model
comes with an additional twist.

This model chokes on read_capacity_16 calls.  Now normally we don't make
those calls, but this model comes with an sdcard slot and when there is no
card in there (and shipped from the factory there is none), it reports a
size of 0.  However this time the programmers actually got the
read_capacity_10 response right!  So they substract one from the size as
stored internally in the mp3 player before reporting it back, resulting in
an answer of ...  0xffffffff sectors, causing sd.c to try a
read_capacity_16, on which the device crashes.

This patch adds a flag to scsi_device to indicate that a a device cannot
handle read_capacity_16, and when this flag is set if a device reports an
lba of 0xffffffff as answer to a read_capacity_10, assumes it tries to
report a size of 0.

scsi/sr: add no_read_disc_info scsi_device flag

2010-10-22T17:22:04+00:00

Some USB devices emulate a usb-mass-storage attached (scsi) cdrom device,
usually this fake cdrom contains the windows software for the device.
While working on supporting Appotech ax3003 based photoframes, which do
this I discovered that they will go of into lala land when ever they see a
READ_DISC_INFO scsi command.

Thus this patch adds a scsi_device flag (which can then be set by the
usb-storage driver through an unsual-devs entry), to indicate this, and
makes the sr driver honor this flag.

I know this sucks, but as discussed on linux-scsi list there is no other
way to make this device work properly.

Looking at usb traces made under windows, windows never sends a
READ_DISC_INFO during normal interactions with a usb cdrom device.  So as
this cdrom emulation thingie becomes more common we might see more of this
problem.

[SCSI] implement runtime Power Management

2010-07-28T14:07:50+00:00

This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer.  Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them.  Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.

The implementation is simplistic.  In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything.  (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.)  There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.

LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume).  Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.

The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered.  If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count.  If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.

Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running.  In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

[SCSI] eliminate potential kmalloc failure in scsi_get_vpd_page()

The best way to fix this is to eliminate the intenal kmalloc() and
