2007-02-16USB Storage: indistinguishable devices with broken and unbroken firmwareOliver Neukum
there's a USB mass storage device which exists in two version. One reports the correct size and the other does not. Apart from that they are identical and cannot be told apart. Here's a heuristic based on the empirical finding that drives have even sizes.

2007-01-27[SCSI] libsas: Handle SCSI commands that complete with failure codesDarrick J. Wong
This patch moves the code that handles SAS failures out of the main EH function and into a separate function. It also detects commands that have no sas_task (i.e. they completed, but with error data) and sends them into scsi_error for processing. This allows us to handle SCSI errors (and enables auto-spinup as a side effect) instead of dropping them on the floor and falling into an infinite loop. It also requires the implementation of a device reset function, which the SAS failure code has been modified to employ for REQ_DEVICE_RESET. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-01-27[SCSI] libsas: Clean up discovery failure handler codeDarrick J. Wong
sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions, sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander). In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of sas_discover_root_expander. This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call). It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via sas_get_port_device. This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2007-01-13[SCSI] libsas: Delay issuing ABORT TASK TMF until the error handlerDarrick J. Wong
sas_task_abort() should simply abort the upper-level SCSI command and wait until the error handler to send the actual ABORT TASK command. By deferring things to the EH we simplify the concurrency coordination and eliminate some race conditions. Note that sas_task_abort has a few hooks to handle libsas internal commands properly too. Also rename do_sas_task_abort to __sas_task_abort just in case we really want to abort the task *right now* and we don't have a scsi_cmnd attached to the command. This is a hook for libata internal commands to abort. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2007-01-13[SCSI] libsas: Enable the EH strategy handler to reset a phy after a commandDarrick J. Wong
When a SAS LLDD needs to request a device port reset, it needs to have all commands aborted before it can reset the port. Since commands are put on the EH's list in the order that they were queued, the LLDD can set a "need reset" flag in the last task to be aborted so that the EH can reset the port after all commands are aborted.

2007-01-13[SCSI] libsas: Remove SAS_TASK_INITIATOR_ABORTED flagDarrick J. Wong

2007-01-13[SCSI] libsas: Don't give scsi_cmnds to the EH if they never made it to the ↵Darrick J. Wong
SAS LLDD or have already returned On a system with many SAS targets, it appears possible that a scsi_cmnd can time out without ever making it to the SAS LLDD or at the same time that a completion is occurring. In both of these cases, telling the LLDD to abort the sas_task makes no sense because the LLDD won't know about the sas_task; what we really want to do is to increase the timer. Note that this involves creating another sas_task bit to indicate whether or not the task has been sent to the LLDD; I could have implemented this by slightly redefining SAS_TASK_STATE_PENDING, but this way seems cleaner. This second version amends the aic94xx portion to set the TASK_AT_INITIATOR flag for all sas_tasks that were passed to lldd_execute_task. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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?

This patch implements a REQ_DEVICE_RESET handler for the aic94xx driver. Like the earlier REQ_TASK_ABORT patch, this patch defers the device reset to the Scsi_Host's workqueue, which has the added benefit of ensuring that the device reset does not happen at the same time that the abort tmfs are being processed. After the phy reset, the busted drive should go away and be re-detected later, which is indeed what I've seen on both a x260 and a x206m. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

We have not used them even when we were allocting 20 MB per session and the system only had 64 MBs. And we have no pools on the send side and have been ok there.

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.

2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells
Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

Some of these prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are set to inappropriate values. The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB less one block, achievable with a relatively small number of elements in the scatter gather list. ChangeLog: - add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ - the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE) It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power of two - clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements that are no longer valid - make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dougg@torque.net> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

Key more of the domain validation settings off the inquiry data from the disk (in particular, don't try IU or DT unless the disk claims to support them. Also add a new dv_in_progress flag to prevent recursive DV. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
