2009-10-02[SCSI] Deprecate SCSI_PROT_*_CONVERT operationsMartin K. Petersen
The checksum format is orthogonal to whether the protection information is being passed on beyond the HBA or not. It is perfectly valid to use a non-T10 CRC with WRITE_STRIP and READ_INSERT. Consequently it no longer makes sense to explicitly refer to the conversion in the protection operation. Update sd_dif and lpfc accordingly. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-05-11block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessorsTejun Heo
With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard' request fields always equal the !hard fields.

2008-10-09block: unify request timeout handlingJens Axboe
Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling.

2008-07-26[SCSI] Command protection operationMartin K. Petersen
Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told explicitly how to handle the I/O. The controller has no knowledge of the protection capabilities of the target device so this information must be passed in the scsi_cmnd. - The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or verify protection information. - The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is formatted with. This is necessary because the controller must be able to correctly interpret the included protection information in order to verify it. - When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in progress. - prot_op and prot_type are placed in an existing hole in scsi_cmnd and don't cause the structure to grow.

Add support for variable-length, extended, and vendor specific CDBs to scsi-ml. It is now possible for initiators and ULD's to issue these types of commands. LLDs need not change much.

2008-05-02[SCSI] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd bufferBoaz Harrosh
- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own. This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd could function without a request attached. So clean that up. - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd. - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it and is reflected in the patch below is. MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB as per the SCSI standard and is not related to the implementation. BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level - I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen. (*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's. So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2008-01-30[SCSI] bidirectional command supportBoaz Harrosh
At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second bidi_read request. At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed. - Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a second sgtable was allocated. - Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of bidi. - Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit tricky here. (See comments in body) - scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer - scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call scsi_end_bidi_request() and return. - The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io()) The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi. - In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

2008-01-23[SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense bufferFUJITA Tomonori
This removes static array sense_buffer in scsi_cmnd and uses dynamically allocated sense_buffer (with GFP_DMA). The reason for doing this is that some architectures need cacheline aligned buffer for DMA: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/19/2 The problems are that scsi_eh_prep_cmnd puts scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer to sglist and some LLDs directly DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer. It's necessary to DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer safely. This patch solves these issues. __scsi_get_command allocates sense_buffer via kmem_cache_alloc and attaches it to a scsi_cmnd so everything just work as before.

2008-01-06Revert "scsi: revert "[SCSI] Get rid of scsi_cmnd->done""Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit ac40532ef0b8649e6f7f83859ea0de1c4ed08a19, which gets us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d. It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it. The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund: "pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".) The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device, blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because bdev->bd_openers is non-zero." In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d is applied or not): " 1. Start with an empty drive. 2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0 3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem. 4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp 5. umount /mnt/tmp 6. Press the eject button. 7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem. 8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp 9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null 10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors." which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have other people holding the device open). The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9; in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also change the block size of the device).

2007-03-11[SCSI] tgt: rm bio hacks in scsi tgtMike Christie
scsi tgt breaks up a command into multple scatterlists if we cannot fit all the data in one. This was because the block rq helpers did not support large requests and because we can get a command of any old size so it is hard to preallocate pages for scatterlist large enough (we cannot really preallocate pages with the bio map user path). In 2.6.20, we added large request support to the block layer helper, blk_rq_map_user. And at LSF, we talked about increasing SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS for scsi tgt if we want to support really really :) large (greater than 256 * PAGE_SIZE in the worst mapping case) requests. The only target currently implemented does not even support the multiple scatterlists stuff and only supports smaller requests, so this patch just coverts scsi tgt to use blk_rq_map_user.

2006-11-25[SCSI] export scsi-ml functions needed by tgt_scsi_lib and its LLDsFUJITA Tomonori
This patch contains the needed changes to the scsi-ml for the target mode support. Note, per the last review we moved almost all the fields we added to the scsi_cmnd to our internal data structure which we are going to try and kill off when we can replace it with support from other parts of the kernel. The one field we left on was the offset variable. This is needed to handle the case where the target gets request that is so large that it cannot execute it in one dma operation. So max_secotors or a segment limit may limit the size of the transfer. In this case our tgt core code will break up the command into managable transfers and send them to the LLD one at a time. The offset is then used to tell the LLD where in the command we are at. Is there another field on the scsi_cmd for that?

2006-04-14[SCSI] dc395x: dynamically map scatter-gather for PIOGuennadi Liakhovetski
The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem). So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random data to the device. The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was also able to test and debug it. There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG. It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait if anybody cries... Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either, and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like lib/scattergather.c? I am open here. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

This follows on from Jens' patch and consolidates all of the ULD separate handlers for REQ_BLOCK_PC into a single call which has his fix for our direction bug. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-08-08[SCSI] add global timeout to the scsi mid-layerJames Bottomley
There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever. This code will apply a global timeout (of the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given command. If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its state. The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and timeout_total. This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device. In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset, so possibly this should be tied into the error handler? Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-06-26[SCSI] remove scsi_cmnd->stateChristoph Hellwig
We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it for sending internal commands. That usage can be fixed easily because those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily use a completion there. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

it's never set to anything, and just three broken drivers are looking at it and doing odd things. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-04-18[PATCH] scsi: remove meaningless scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout field
scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose anymore. All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests are always true in abort callbacks. Kill the field. Also, as ->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments above ->serial_number accordingly. Once we remove all uses of this field from all lldd's, this field should go. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
