2008-01-23[SCSI] aic7xxx_old, eata_pio, ips, libsas: don't zero out sense_buffer in ↵FUJITA Tomonori
queuecommand LLDs don't need to zero out scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer in queuecommand since scsi-ml does. This is a preparation of the future changes to allocate the sense_buffer only when necessary. Many LLDs zero out the sense_buffer before touching it on the error case. This patch lets them alone for now because new APIs for them would be added later on.

2008-01-23libata: convert to chained sgTejun Heo
libata used private sg iterator to handle padding sg. Now that sg can be chained, padding can be handled using standard sg ops. Convert to chained sg. * s/qc->__sg/qc->sg/ * s/qc->pad_sgent/qc->extra_sg[]/. Because chaining consumes one sg entry. There need to be two extra sg entries. The renaming is also for future addition of other extra sg entries. * Padding setup is moved into ata_sg_setup_extra() which is organized in a way that future addition of other extra sg entries is easy. * qc->orig_n_elem is unused and removed. * qc->n_elem now contains the number of sg entries that LLDs should map. qc->mapped_n_elem is added to carry the original number of mapped sgs for unmapping. * The last sg of the original sg list is used to chain to extra sg list. The original last sg is pointed to by qc->last_sg and the content is stored in qc->saved_last_sg. It's restored during ata_sg_clean(). * All sg walking code has been updated. Unnecessary assertions and checks for conditions the core layer already guarantees are removed.

2008-01-11[SCSI] libsas: don't use made up error codesJames Bottomley
This is bad for two reasons: 1. If they're returned to outside applications, no-one knows what they mean. 2. Eventually they'll clash with the ever expanding standard error codes. The problem error code in question is ETASK. I've replaced this by ECOMM (communications error on send) a network error code that seems to most closely relay what ETASK meant. Acked-by: Darrick J.

2008-01-11[SCSI] libsas: don't treat underrun as an error on SMP tasksJames Bottomley
All SMP tasks sent through bsg generate messages like: sas: smp_execute_task: task to dev 500605b000001450 response: 0x0 status 0x81 Three times (because the task gets retried). Firstly, don't retry either overrun or underrun (the data buffer isn't going to change size) and secondly, just report the underrun but don't set an error for it. This is necessary so bsg can report back the residual. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printksPavel Emelyanov
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

2007-10-12libata-link: introduce ata_linkTejun Heo
Introduce ata_link. It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and ata_device. This new level of abstraction is necessary to support SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to a ATA host port. Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link. This patch only defines the host link. Multiple link handling will be added later. Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with ata_link instead of ata_port. This patch introduces no behavior change.

2007-07-31[SCSI] libsas: fix build dependencies on libataJames Bottomley

2007-07-28[SCSI] libsas: Fix potential NULL dereference in sas_smp_get_phy_events()Jesper Juhl
In sas_smp_get_phy_events() we never test if the call to alloc_smp_req(RPEL_REQ_SIZE) succeeds or fails. That means we run the risk of dereferencing a NULL pointer if it does fail. Far better to test if we got NULL back and in that case return -ENOMEM just as we already do for the other memory allocation in that function.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas, aic94xx: fix dma mapping cockups with ATAJames Bottomley
This one was noticed by Gilbert Wu of Adaptec: The libata core actually does the DMA mapping for you, so there has to be an exception in the device drivers that *don't* do dma mapping for ATA commands. However, since we've already done this, libsas must now dma map any ATA commands that it wishes to issue ... and yes, this is a horrible mess. Additionally, the test in aic94xx for ATA protocols isn't quite right. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: Implement sas_task_abort for ATA devicesDarrick J. Wong
ATA devices need special handling for sas_task_abort. If the ATA command came from SCSI, then we merely need to tell SCSI to abort the scsi_cmnd. However, internal commands require a bit more work--we need to fill the qc with the appropriate error status and complete the command, and eventually post_internal will issue the actual ABORT TASK. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: Assign sas_task to scsi_cmnd to enable EH for ATA devicesDarrick J. Wong
The SATL should connect the scsi_cmnd to the sas_task (despite the presence of libata) so that requests to abort scsi_cmnds headed to the ATA device can be processed by the EH and aborted correctly. The abort status should still be propagated from sas -> ata -> scsi. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas: Unknown STP devices should be reported to libata as unknown.Darrick J. Wong

2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas: Accept SAM_GOOD for ATAPI devices in sas_ata_task_doneDarrick J. Wong

2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: Don't copy aic94xx's sactive to ata_portDarrick J. Wong
Since the aic94xx sequencer assigns its own NCQ tags to ATA commands, it no longer makes any sense to copy the sactive field in the STP response to ata_port->sactive, as that will confuse libata. Also, libata seems to be capable of managing sactive on its own. The attached patch gets rid of one of the causes of the BUG messages in ata_qc_new, and seems to work without problems on an IBM x206m. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: ata_post_internal should abort the sas_taskDarrick J. Wong
This patch adds a new field, lldd_task, to ata_queued_cmd so that libata users such as libsas can associate some data with a qc. The particular ambition with this patch is to associate a sas_task with a qc; that way, if libata decides to timeout a command, we can come back (in sas_ata_post_internal) and abort the sas task. One question remains: Is it necessary to reset the phy on error, or will the libata error handler take care of it? (Assuming that one is written, of course.) This patch, as it is today, works well enough to clean things up when an ATA device probe attempt fails halfway through the probe, though I'm not sure this is always the right thing to do.

2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: sas_ata_qc_issue should return AC_ERR_*Darrick J. Wong
The sas_ata_qc_issue function was incorrectly written to return error codes such as -ENOMEM. Since libata OR's qc->err_mask with the return value, It is necessary to make my code return one of the AC_ERR_ codes instead. For now, use AC_ERR_SYSTEM because an error here means that the OS couldn't send the command to the controller. If anybody has a suggestion for a better AC_ERR_ code to use, please suggest it.

2007-07-18[SCSI] sas_ata: Satisfy libata qc function locking requirementsDarrick J. Wong
ata_qc_complete and ata_sas_queuecmd require that the port lock be held when they are called. sas_ata doesn't do this, leading to BUG messages about qc tags newly allocated qc tags already being in use. This patch fixes the locking, which should clean up the rest of those messages. So far I've tested this against an IBM x206m with two SATA disks with no BUG messages and no other signs of things going wrong, and the machine finally passed the pounder stress test.

2007-07-18[SCSI] Migrate libsas ATA code into a separate fileDarrick J. Wong
This is a respin of my earlier patch that migrates the ATA support code into a separate file. For now, the controversial linking bits have been removed per James Bottomley's request for a patch that contains only the migration diffs, which means that libsas continues to require libata. I intend to address that problem in a separate patch. This patch is against the aic94xx-sas-2.6 git tree, and it has been sanity tested on my x206m with Seagate SATA and SAS disks without uncovering any new problems. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas: fixup NCQ for SATA disksJames Bottomley
We actually had two problems: the one with the tag (which is fixed by zeroing the tag before sending the taskfile to the sequencer) but the other with the fact that we sent our first NCQ command to the device before the sequencer had been informed of the NCQ tagging capabilities. I fixed the latter by moving the rphy_add() to the correct point in the code after the NCQ capabilities are set up. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas: support NCQ for SATA disksDarrick J. Wong
This patch adds SATAII NCQ support to libsas. Both the use_ncq and the dma_xfer flags in ata_task must be set for NCQ to work correctly on the Adaptec SAS controller. The rest of the patch adds ATA_FLAG_NCQ to sata_port_info and sets up ap->scsi_host so that ata_setup_ncq doesn't crash. Please note that this patch is against the aic94xx-sas git tree, not scsi-misc. Thanks also to James Bottomley for providing an earlier version of this patch from which to work. I've tested this patch on a x206m with a ST380819AS SATA2 disk plugged into the Adaptec SAS controller. The drive came up with a queue depth of 31, and I successfully ran an I/O flood test to coerce libata into sending multiple commands simultaneously. A kernel probe recorded the maximum tag number that had been seen before and after the flood test; before the test it was 2 and after it was 30, as I expected. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2007-07-18[SCSI] libsas: Add SATA support to STP piece for SATA on SAS expandersJames Bottomley
This patch adds support for SATA over SAS expanders to the previous two SATA support in libsas patches. There were a couple of nasty non trivial things to sort out before this one could be made to work. Firstly, I'd like to thank Doug Gilbert for diagnosing a problem with the LSI expanders where the REPORT_SATA_PHY command was returning the D2H FIS in the wrong order (Although, here, I think I have to blame the SAS standards which specifies the FIS "shall be returned in little endian format" and later on "which means resp[24] shall be FIS type" The latter, of course, implying big endian format). Just to make sure, I put a check for the D2H FIS type being in the wrong position and reverse the FIS data if it is. The second is a problem outlined in Annex G of the SAS standard (again, a technical point with D2H FIS ... necessitating a phy reset on certain conditions). With the patch, I can now see my SATA-1 disk in a cascaded expander configuration. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

sysfs binary attributes Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)
