2007-06-02[SCSI] libiscsi: fix iscsi cmdsn allocationMike Christie
The cmdsn allocation and pdu transmit code can race, and we can end up sending a pdu with cmdsn 10 before a pdu with 5. The target will then fail the connection/session. This patch fixes the problem by delaying the cmdsn allocation until we are about to send the pdu. This also removes the xmitmutex. We were using the connection xmitmutex during error handling to handle races with mtask and ctask cleanup and completion. For ctasks we now have nice refcounting and for the mtask, if we hit the case where the mtask timesout and it is floating around somewhere in the driver, we end up dropping the session. And to handle session level cleanup, we use the xmit suspend bit along with scsi_flush_queue and the session lock to make sure that the xmit thread is not possibly transmitting a task while we are trying to kill it.

If iscsi_tcp partially sends a header, it would recalculate the header size and readd the size of the digest (if header digests are used).This would cause us to send sizeof(digest) extra bytes when we sent the rest of the header.

2007-06-01[SCSI] iscsi class, iscsi_tcp, ib_iser: add sysfs chap fileMike Christie
The attached patches add sysfs files for the chap settings to the iscsi transport class, iscsi_tcp and ib_iser. This is needed for software iscsi because there are times when iscsid can die and it will need to reread the values it was using. And it is needed by qla4xxx for basic management opertaions. This patch does not hook in qla4xxx yet, because I am not sure the mbx command to use.

2006-11-10[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: fix xmittask oopsMike Christie
XMSTATE_SOL_HDR could be set when the xmit thread tests it, but there may not be anything on the r2tqueue yet. Move the XMSTATE_SOL_HDR set before the addition to the queue to make sure that when we pull something off it it is valid. This does not add locks around the xmstate test or make that a atmoic_t because this is a fast path and if it is set when we test it we can handle it there without the overhead. Later on we check the xmitqueue for all requests with the session lock so we will not miss it.

2006-09-02[SCSI] scsi_tcp: rm data rx and tx tfmsMike Christie
We currently allocated seperate tfms for data and header digests. There is no reason for this since we can never calculate a rx header and digest at the same time. Same for sends. So this patch removes the data tfms and has the send and recv sides use the rx_tfm or tx_tfm. I also made the connection creation code preallocate the tfms because I thought I hit a bug where I changed the digests settings during a relogin but could not allocate the tfm and then we just failed.

2006-09-02[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: fix padding, data digests, and IO at weird offsetsMike Christie
iscsi_tcp calculates padding by using the expected transfer length. This has the problem where if we have immediate data = no and initial R2T = yes, and the transfer length ended up needing padding then we send: 1. header 2. padding which should have gone after data 3. data Besides this bug, we also assume the target will always ask for nice transfer lengths and the first burst length will always be a nice value. As far as I can tell form the RFC this is not a requirement. It would be silly to do this, but if someone did it we will end doing bad things. Finally the last bug in that bit of code is in our handling of the recalculation of data digests when we do not send a whole iscsi_buf in one try. The bug here is that we call crypto_digest_final on a iscsi_sendpage error, then when we send the rest of the iscsi_buf, we doiscsi_data_digest_init and this causes the previous data digest to be lost. And to make matters worse, some of these bugs are replicated over and over and over again for immediate data, solicited data and unsolicited data. So the attached patch made over the iscsi git tree (see kernel.org/git for details) which I updated today to include the patches I said I merged, consolidates the sending of data, padding and digests and calculation of data digests and fixes the above bugs.

2006-09-02[SCSI] attempt to complete r2t with data len greater than max burstMike Christie
A couple targets like string bean and MDS, send r2ts with a data len greater than the max burst we agreed to. We were being strict in our enforcing of the iscsi rfc in that code path, but there is no driver limitation that prevents us from fullfilling the request. To allow those targets to work we will ignore the max_burst length and send as much data as the target asks for assuming it has consciously decided to override its max burst length.

2006-09-02[SCSI] libiscsi, iscsi_tcp, iscsi_iser: check that burst lengths are valid.Mike Christie
iSCSI RFC states that the first burst length must be smaller than the max burst length. We currently assume targets will be good, but that may not be the case, so this patch adds a check.

2006-07-28[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: reduce memory allocationsMike Christie
We currently try to allocate a max_recv_data_segment_length which can be very large (default is 64K), and common uses are up to 1MB. It is very very difficult to allocte this much contiguous memory and it turns out we never even use it. We really only need a couple of pages, so this patch has us allocates just what we know what we need today.

When we enter recovery and flush the running commands we cannot freee the connection before flushing the commands.

We can race and misset the suspend bit if iscsi_write_space is called then iscsi_send returns with a failure indicating there is no space. To handle this this patch returns a error upwards allowing xmitworker to decide if we need to try and transmit again. For the no write space case xmitworker will not retry, and instead let iscsi_write_space queue it back up if needed (this relies on the work queue code to properly requeue us if needed).

2006-05-10[SCSI] iscsi: dequeue all buffers from queueMike Christie
debugged by wrwhitehead@novell.com patch and analysis by fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp Only tcp_read_sock and recv_actor (iscsi_tcp_data_recv for us) see desc.count. It is is used just for permitting tcp_read_sock to read the portion of data in the socket. When iscsi_tcp_data_recv sees a partial header, it sets desc.count. However, it is possible that the next skb (containing the rest of the header) still does not come. So I'm not sure that this scheme is completely correct. Ideally, we should use the exact length of the data in the socket for desc.count. However, it is not so simple (see SIOCINQ in tcp_ioctl). So I think that iscsi_tcp_data_recv can just stop playing with desc.count and tell tcp_read_sock to read the all skbs. As proposed already, if iscsi_tcp_data_ready sets desc.count to non-zero, tcp_read_sock does that.

2006-05-10[SCSI] iscsi: increment expstatsn during loginMike Christie
debugged by Ming and Rohan: The problem Ming and Rohan debugged was that during a normal session login, open-iscsi is not incrementing the exp_statsn counter. It was stuck at zero. From the RFC, it looks like if the login response PDU has a successful status then we should be incrementing that value. Also from the RFC, it looks like if when we drop a connection then reconnect, we should be using the exp_statsn from the old connection in the next relogin attempt.

2006-04-14[SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi ehMike Christie
The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath and performs some extra task management functions when they are not needed. The attached patch: - Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt then we do not send aborts. - Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR. - If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a command to go from one patch to another. For network problems we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to try on another path. - And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be adding to that for qla4xxx.

2006-04-14[SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connectionMike Christie
from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the "iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for the session and connection. Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not have the HW available to us so we could only guess. Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

2006-03-22[PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP optionChristoph Lameter
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap() is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure. Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and I cannot find a reason for having this option. There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely) or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not check for SLAB_NO_REAP) Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.
