  • zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy erroneously always tried to finish its task
    even if the corresponding previous zfcp_scsi_slave_alloc returned
    early. This can lead to kernel page faults on accessing uninitialized
    fields of struct zfcp_scsi_dev in zfcp_erp_lun_shutdown_wait. Take the
    port field of the struct to determine if slave_alloc returned early.

    This zfcp bug is exposed by 4e6c82b (in turn fixing f7c9c6b to be
    compatible with 21208ae) which can call slave_destroy for a
    corresponding previous slave_alloc that did not finish.

    This patch is based on James Bottomley's fix suggestion in
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg55449.html.

  • Fix several compile errors on s390 caused by splitting module.h.

    Some include additions [e.g. qdio_setup.c, zfcp_qdio.c] are in
    anticipation of pending changes queued for s390 that increase
    the modular use footprint.

    [PG: added additional obvious changes since Heiko's original patch]

  • The qdio SBAL entry flag is made-up of four different values that are
    independent of one another. Some of the bits are reserved by the
    hardware and should not be changed by qdio. Currently all four values
    are overwritten since the SBAL entry flag is defined as an u32.

    Split the SBAL entry flag into four u8's as defined by the hardware
    and don't touch the reserved bits.

  • Introduce a scan treshold for the qdio outbound queues. By setting the
    threshold the driver can tell qdio after how much used SBALs qdio
    should schedule the outbound tasklet that scans the queue for finished
    SBALs. The threshold is specific by the drivers because a
    Hipersockets device is much faster in utilizing outbound buffers than a
    ZFCP or OSA device.

    The default values after how many used SBALs the tasklet should run are:

    OSA: > 31 SBALs
    Hipersockets: > 7 SBALs
    zfcp: > 55 SBALs

  • Interrupting the connection to the FCP channel while I/O requests are
    being issued can lead to this deadlock. scsi_dispatch_cmd already
    holds the host_lock while the recovery trigger tries to acquire the

    description in "[PATCH] Eliminate error handler overload of the SCSI
    serial number", the serial_number is not used, so simply drop the

    holding the host_lock.

  • If the evaluation of GPN_FT requests wants to remove an invalid port
    from the system the zfcp_erp_port_shutdown function is triggered.
    Depending on the system status a superior action (e.g. adapter reopen)
    is required. This can lead to an invalid mem access of the port struct
    which might be freed at the time since the superior action is not
    holding a reference of the port which triggered this ERP action.

  • Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
    with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
    critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

    The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
    equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
    with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

    Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
    struct Scsi_Host *
    and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
    void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

    Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
    and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

    Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
    needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.
