SCSI: add 1024 max sectors black list flag

2015-05-13T12:14:29+00:00

commit 35e9a9f93994d7f7d12afa41169c7ba05513721b upstream.

This works around a issue with qnap iscsi targets not handling large IOs
very well.

The target returns:

VPD INQUIRY: Block limits page (SBC)
  Maximum compare and write length: 1 blocks
  Optimal transfer length granularity: 1 blocks
  Maximum transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
  Optimal transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
  Maximum prefetch, xdread, xdwrite transfer length: 0 blocks
  Maximum unmap LBA count: 8388607
  Maximum unmap block descriptor count: 1
  Optimal unmap granularity: 16383
  Unmap granularity alignment valid: 0
  Unmap granularity alignment: 0
  Maximum write same length: 0xffffffff blocks
  Maximum atomic transfer length: 0
  Atomic alignment: 0
  Atomic transfer length granularity: 0

and it is *sometimes* able to handle at least one IO of size up to 8 MB. We
have seen in traces where it will sometimes work, but other times it
looks like it fails and it looks like it returns failures if we send
multiple large IOs sometimes. Also it looks like it can return 2 different
errors. It will sometimes send iscsi reject errors indicating out of
resources or it will send invalid cdb illegal requests check conditions.
And then when it sends iscsi rejects it does not seem to handle retries
when there are command sequence holes, so I could not just add code to
try and gracefully handle that error code.

The problem is that we do not have a good contact for the company,
so we are not able to determine under what conditions it returns
which error and why it sometimes works.

So, this patch just adds a new black list flag to set targets like this to
the old max safe sectors of 1024. The max_hw_sectors changes added in 3.19
caused this regression, so I also ccing stable.

Merge branch 'for-3.20/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - A series from Christoph that cleans up and refactors various parts
     of the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling.  Contributions in that series from
     Dongsu Park and Kent Overstreet as well.

   - CFQ:
        - A bug fix for cfq for realtime IO scheduling from Jeff Moyer.
        - A stable patch fixing a potential crash in CFQ in OOM
          situations.  From Konstantin Khlebnikov.

   - blk-mq:
        - Add support for tag allocation policies, from Shaohua. This is
          a prep patch enabling libata (and other SCSI parts) to use the
          blk-mq tagging, instead of rolling their own.
        - Various little tweaks from Keith and Mike, in preparation for
          DM blk-mq support.
        - Minor little fixes or tweaks from me.
        - A double free error fix from Tony Battersby.

   - The partition 4k issue fixes from Matthew and Boaz.

   - Add support for zero+unprovision for blkdev_issue_zeroout() from
     Martin"

scsi_logging: return void for dev_printk() functions

2015-02-04T16:00:24+00:00

dev_printk() is now a void function, so the related functions
scmd_printk() and sdev_prefix_printk() should be made void, too.

block: support different tag allocation policy

2015-01-23T21:15:46+00:00

The libata tag allocation is using a round-robin policy. Next patch will
make libata use block generic tag allocation, so let's add a policy to
tag allocation.

Currently two policies: FIFO (default) and round-robin.

scsi: Conditionally compile in constants.c

2015-01-09T14:44:31+00:00

Instead of having constants.c littered with ifdef statements we should
be moving dummy functions into the header and condintionally compile in
constants.c if selected. And update the Kconfig description to reflect
the actual size difference.

scsi: use external buffer for command logging

2015-01-09T14:44:29+00:00

Use an external buffer for __scsi_print_command() and move command
logging over to use the per-cpu logging buffer.  With that we can
guarantee the command always will always be formatted in one line.
So we can even print out a variable length command correctly across
several lines. Finally rename __scsi_print_command() to
__scsi_format_comment() to better reflect the functionality.

Implement a per-cpu buffer for formatting messages to avoid line breaks
up under high load.  This patch implements scmd_printk() and
sdev_prefix_printk() using the per-cpu buffer and makes sdev_printk() a
