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.
Later if vendors start adding vendor specific data and
we need to handle large buffers we can do this, but for
the last 4 years we have not seen anyone do this or request
it.

When we enter recovery and flush the running commands
we cannot freee the connection before flushing the commands.
Some commands may have a reference to the connection
that needs to be released before. iscsi_stop was forcing
the term and suspend too early and was causing a oops
in iser, so this patch removes those callbacks all together
and allows the LLD to handle that detail.

Abort handler fixes.
If a connection is dropped and reconnected while an abort is
running then we should assume the recovery code will clean up
the abort. Not doing so causes a oops.
And if a command completes then we get the status for the abort, we do not
need to call into the LLD to cleanup the resources. Doing this causes
and oops in iser because it ends up freeing some resources twice.

The iscsi tcp code can pluck multiple rt2s from the tasks's r2tqueue
in the xmit code. This can result in the task being queued on the xmit queue
but gettting completed at the same time.

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.

Some SAS HBAs don't want to go to the trouble of tracking port numbers,
so they'd simply like to say "add this port and give it a number".
This is especially beneficial from the hotplug point of view, since
tracking ports and the available number space can be a real pain.
The current implementation uses an incrementing number per expander to
add the port on. However, since there can never be more ports than
there are phys, a later implementation will try to be more intelligent
about this.

This patch adds or modifies the transport class functions
used to notify userspace of session state events.
We modify the session addition up event and add a destruction event
to notify userspace of session creation, relogin and destruction.
And we modify the conn error event to be sent by broadcast
since multiple listeners may want to listen for it.

So the drivers do not use the channel numbers, but some do
use the target numbers. We were just adding some goofy
variable that just increases for the target nr. This is useless
for software iscsi because it is always zero. And for qla4xxx
the target nr is actually the index of the target/session
in its FW or FLASH tables. We needed to expose this to userspace
so apps could access those numbers so this patch just adds the
target nr to the iscsi session creation functions. This way
when qla4xxx's Hw thinks a session is at target nr 4
in its hw, it is exposed as that number in sysfs.

qla4xxx is initialized in two steps like other HW drivers.
It allocates the host, sets up the HW, then adds the host.
For iscsi part of HW setup is setting up persistent iscsi
sessions. At that time, the interupts are off and the driver
is not completely set up so we just want to allocate them.
We do not want to add them to sysfs and expose them to userspace
because userspace could try to do lots of fun things with them
like scanning and at that time the driver is not ready.
So this patch breakes up the session creation like other
functions that use the driver model in two the alloc
and add parts. When the driver is ready, it can then add
the sessions and userspace can begin using them.
This also fixes a bug in the addition error patch where
we forgot to do a get on the session.

I do not remember what I was thinking when we added the channel
as a argument to the session create function. It was probably
due to too much cut and paste work from the FC transport class.
The channel is meaningless for iscsi drivers so this patch drops
its usage everywhere in the iscsi related code.

Reduce duplication in the software iscsi_transport modules by
adding a libiscsi function to handle the common grunt work.
This also has the drivers return specifc -EXXX values for different
errors so userspace can finally handle them in a sane way.
Also just pass the sysfs buffers to the drivers so HW iscsi can
get/set its string values, like targetname, and initiatorname.

This patch simplifies "good_bytes" computation in sd_rw_intr().
sd: "good_bytes" computation is always done in terms of the resolution
of the device's medium, since after that it is the number of good bytes
we pass around and other layers/contexts (as opposed ot sd) can translate
that to their own resolution (block layer:512). It also makes
scsi_io_completion() processing more straightforward, eliminating the
3rd argument to the function.
It also fixes a couple of bugs like not checking return value,
using "break" instead of "return;", etc.
I've been running with this patch for some time now on a
test (do-it-all) system.

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).

And do not start recovery from within the host reset function.

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(). It is now an exported API for SCSI transports and
exported via new header file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_api.h

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.

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.

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.

There is a lot of code duplcited between iscsi_tcp
and the upcoming iscsi_iser driver. This patch puts
the duplicated code in a lib. There is more code
to move around but this takes care of the
basics. For iscsi_offload if they use the lib we will
probably move some things around. For example in the
queuecommand we will not assume that the LLD wants
to do queue_work, but it is better to handle that
later when we know for sure what iscsi_offload looks
like (we could probably do this for iscsi_iser though to).
Ideally I would like to get the iscsi_transports modules
to a place where all they really have to do is put data
on the wire, but how to do that will hopefully be more clear
when we see other modules like iscsi_offload. Or maybe
iscsi_offload will not use the lib and it will just be
iscsi_iser and iscsi_tcp and maybe the iscsi_tcp_tgt if that
is allowed in mainline.

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.

iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that

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.

Some devices report a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0; with the original
code, we would still try a REPORT_LUNS scan (if SCSI level is >= 3 or if we
have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 passed in), but NOT any sequential scan.
Also, the device at LUN 0 (which is not connected according to the PQ) is not
registered with the OS.
Unfortunately, SANs exist that are SCSI-2 and do NOT support REPORT_LUNS, but
report a unknown device with PQ 3 on LUN 0. We still need to scan them, and
most probably we even need BLIST_SPARSELUN (and BLIST_LARGELUN). See the bug
reference for an infamous example.
This is patch 3/3:
3. Implement the blacklist flag BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 that makes the scsi
scanning code register PQ3 devices and continues scanning; only sg
will attach thanks to scsi_bus_match().

As previously reported via Michael Reed, the FC transport took a hit
in 2.6.15 (perhaps a little earlier) when we solved a recursion error.
There are 2 deadlocks occurring:
- With scan and the delete items sharing the same workq, flushing the
workq for the delete code was getting it stalled behind a very long
running scan code path.
- There's a deadlock where scsi_remove_target() has to sit behind
scsi_scan_target() due to contention over the scan_lock().
This patch resolves the 1st deadlock and significantly reduces the
odds of the second. So far, we have only replicated the 2nd deadlock
on a highly-parallel SMP system. More on the 2nd deadlock in a following
email.
This patch reworks the transport to:
- Only use the scsi host workq for scanning
- Use 2 other workq's internally. One for deletions, the other for
scheduled deletions. Originally, we tried this with a single workq,
but the occassional flushes of the scheduled queues was hitting the
second deadlock with a slightly higher frequency. In the future, we'll
look at the LLDD's and the transport to see if we can get rid of this
extra overhead.
- When moving to the other workq's we tightened up some object states
and some lock handling.
- Properly syncs adds/deletes
- minor code cleanups
- directly reference fc_host_attrs, rather than through attribute

Original From: Ingo Flaschberger <if@xip.at>
To support the RA4100 array from Compaq.
This patch now correctly handles SCSI_UNKNOWN types with regard to
BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 (allow it) and cdb[1] LUN inclusion (don't).
It also allows a BLIST_MAX_512 flag to restrict the maximum transfer
length to 512 blocks (apparently this is an RA4100 problem).

We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code. Both of them have drawbacks.
This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:
- argument checking
- use scatterlist I/O
- set number of retries based on the submitted command
This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path. Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?
Thanks to Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.
Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.
