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.

2007-05-06[SCSI] use sysfs configured timeout for EH Start Unit timeoutBrian King
Use the sysfs configurable timeout when issuing a START_UNIT command from the scsi error handler. This is needed for devices which take longer than thirty seconds to respond to the start unit. The problem was observed when sending a start unit to a disk array device in an ipr RAID adapter, which results in the adapter firmware sending potentially multiple commands to physical devices as a result of this command, which ended up timing out sometimes. This patch does not change the default value used for this command. Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2007-04-17[SCSI] scsi_error.c: Add EH Start Unit retryBrian King
Currently, the scsi error handler will issue a START_UNIT command if the drive indicates it needs its motor started and the allow_restart flag is set in the scsi_device. If, after the scsi error handler invokes a host adapter reset due to error recovery, a device is in a unit attention state AND also needs a START_UNIT, that device will be placed offline. The disk array devices on an ipr RAID adapter will do exactly this when in a dual initiator configuration. This patch adds a single retry to the EH initiated START_UNIT.

2007-04-02[SCSI]: Fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd scatterlist handlingDavid S. Miller
This fixes a regression caused by commit: 2dc611de5a3fd955cd0298c50691d4c05046db97 The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got. Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up in the sense buffer. Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers are on sparc64: default: printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name); __scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd); scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr); err = -EIO; This is the error Tom Callaway reported in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2 Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

2007-02-03[SCSI] scsi_error: Fix lost EH commandsBrian King

2006-08-26[SCSI] fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd regressionMike Christie
The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer, and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with data and scatterlists. This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd fields and replaced them with local variables.

2006-07-09[SCSI] hide EH backup data outside the scsi_cmndChristoph Hellwig
Currently struct scsi_cmnd has various fields that are used to backup original data after the corresponding fields have been overridden for EH commands. This means drivers can easily get at it and misuse it. Due to the old_ naming this doesn't happen for most of them, but two that have different names have been used wrong a lot (see previous patch). Another downside is that they unessecarily bloat the scsi_cmnd size. This patch moves them onstack in scsi_send_eh_cmnd to fix those two issues aswell as allowing future EH fixes like moving the EH command submissions to use SG lists like everything else.

2006-05-20[PATCH] SCSI: make scsi_implement_eh() generic API for SCSI transportsTejun Heo
libata implemented a feature to schedule EH without an associated EH by manipulating shost->host_eh_scheduled in ata_scsi_schedule_eh() directly. Move this function to scsi_error.c and rename it to scsi_schedule_eh().

2006-05-15[PATCH] SCSI: implement shost->host_eh_scheduledTejun Heo
libata needs to invoke EH without scmd. This patch adds shost->host_eh_scheduled to implement such behavior. Currently the only user of this feature is libata and no general interface is defined. This patch simply adds handling for host_eh_scheduled where needed and exports scsi_eh_wakeup() to modules. The rest is upto libata. This is the result of the following discussion. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/23853/focus=9760 In short, SCSI host is not supposed to know about exceptions unrelated to specific device or command. Such exceptions should be handled by transport layer proper. However, the distinction is not essential to ATA and libata is planning to depart from SCSI, so, for the time being, libata will be using SCSI EH to handle such exceptions.

2006-04-10[PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport classChristoph Hellwig

2006-01-26[SCSI] Prevent scsi_execute_async from guessing cdb lengthbrking@us.ibm.com
When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct, particularly for vendor specific commands.

2005-12-08[SCSI] fix OOPS due to clearing eh_action prior to aborting eh commandMichael Reed
The eh_action semaphore in scsi_eh_send_command is cleared after a command timeout. The command is subsequently aborted and the abort will try to call scsi_done() on it. Unfortunately, the scsi_eh_done() routine unconditinally completes the semaphore (which is now null). Fix this race by makiong the scsi_eh_done() routine check that the semaphore is non null before completing it (mirroring the ordinary command done/timeout logic).

2005-09-06[SCSI] return success after retries in scsi_eh_turAlan Stern
The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to tell whether error recovery has succeeded. The scsi_eh_tur function gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more error recovery is needed. However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed when in fact error recovery has succeeded. A typical example might be SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready). The mere fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery. I ran across a case back in January where this happened. A CD-ROM drive timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage. But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline. If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would have worked okay. It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just because the error handler had started running.

2005-08-28[SCSI] convert SPI transport class to scsi_executeJames Bottomley
This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr. With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer allocation going on which we can fix later. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
