2006-10-11[SCSI] Add ability to scan scsi busses asynchronouslyMatthew Wilcox
Since it often takes around 20-30 seconds to scan a scsi bus, it's highly advantageous to do this in parallel with other things. The bulk of this patch is ensuring that devices don't change numbering, and that all devices are discovered prior to trying to start init. For those who build SCSI as modules, there's a new scsi_wait_scan module that will ensure all bus scans are finished. This patch only handles drivers which call scsi_scan_host. Fibre Channel, SAS, SATA, USB and Firewire all need additional work. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2006-09-02[SCSI] SCSI and FC Transport: add netlink support for posting of transport ↵James Smart
events This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink. It is a followup to the original RFC at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2 and the initial posting at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2 The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions in the initial posting. Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol, which can then be used by all transports. This patch: - Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the base SCSI subsystem intialization. Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group). - Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event messages - Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport: fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event # fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data) fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with arbitrary amounts of data. Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event. Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2 Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely together.

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.

2006-01-14[SCSI] remove target parent limitiationChristoph Hellwig
When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given transport class. When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it. So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do something sensible. For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely unsynchronized which seems wrong.

2005-12-14[SCSI] Convert SCSI mid-layer to scsi_execute_asyncMike Christie
Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async(). Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c. I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so I removed the warning on the function header. I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion patch will be sent in another mail though. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2005-11-06[SCSI] use a completion in scsi_send_eh_cmndChristoph Hellwig
scsi_send_eh_cmnd currently uses a semaphore and an overload of eh_timer to either get a completion for a command for a timeout. Switch to using a completion and wait_for_completion_timeout to simply the code and not having to deal with the races ourselves.

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!
