When we tear down a device we try to flush all outstanding
commands in scsi_free_queue(). However the check in
scsi_request_fn() is imperfect as it only signals that
we _might start_ aborting commands, not that we've actually
aborted some.
So move the printk inside the scsi_kill_request function,
this will also give us a hint about which commands are aborted.Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke

Make sure that SCSI device removal via scsi_remove_host() does finish
all pending SCSI commands. Currently that's not the case and hence
removal of a SCSI host during I/O can cause a deadlock. See also

removed" (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40472). See also

During cable pull tests on our 16G FC adapter, we are seeing errors,
typically reads to close targets, which fail due to CRC or framing
errors caused by the cable being pull (return status DID_ERROR).
The adapter detects the error on one of the first frames received,
marks the FC exchange as dead (further frames go to bit bucket) and
signals the host of the error. This action is so quick, and coupled
with fast host CPUs, creates a scenario in which the midlayer sees
the failure and retries the io almost immediately. We've seen link
traces with the retry on the link while the original i/o is still
being processed by the target. We're also seeing the time window
for the "link to pull-apart" and the physical interface to report
disconnected to be in the few millisecond range. Which means, we're
encountering scenarios where the full retry count is exhausted
(all with error) by the midlayer before the link disconnect state
is detected.We looked at 8G FC behavior and occasionally see the same behavior,
but as the link was slower, it rarely could exhaust all retries
before the link reported disconnect.What is needed is a slight delay between io retries due to DID_ERROR
to cover this error. It is inappropriate to put this delay in the
driver, as the error is indistinguishable from other link-related errors,
nor does the driver track whether the io is a retry or not. This is also
easier than tracking between-io-error bursts that are seen in this
scenario.The patch below updates the retry path so that it inserts a delay as
if the target was busy. The busy delay is on the order of 6ms. This
delay is sufficient to ensure the link down condition is reported
before the retry count is exhausted (at most 1 retry is seen).Signed-off-by: Alex Iannicelli

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.Cc: stable@kernel.org

Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:scsi_request_fn()
scsi_dispatch_cmd()
scsi_queue_insert()
__scsi_queue_insert()
scsi_run_queue()
scsi_request_fn()
...potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe
to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd.
But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
kblockd, which hurts performance.The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that
up in due time.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

SBC3r26 contains many changes to the Logical Block Provisioning
interfaces (formerly known as Thin Provisioning ditto). This patch
implements support for both the old and new schemes using the same
heuristic as before (whether the LBP VPD page is present).The new code also allows the provisioning mode (i.e. choice of command)
to be overridden on a per-device basis via sysfs. Two additional modes
are supported in this version:- WRITE SAME(10) with the UNMAP bit set
- WRITE SAME(10) without the UNMAP bit set. This allows us to support
devices that predate the TP/LBP enhancements in SBC3 and which work
by way zero-detectionSwitching between modes has been consolidated in a helper function that
also updates the block layer topology according to the limitations of
the chosen command.I experimented with trying WRITE SAME(16) if UNMAP fails, WRITE SAME(10)
if WRITE SAME(16) fails, etc. but found several devices that got
cranky. So for now we'll disable discard if one of the commands
fail. The user still has the option of selecting a different mode in
sysfs.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen

Instead of just passing 'EIO' for any I/O error we should be

- EIO: Retryable I/O error
- EREMOTEIO: Non-retryable I/O error
- EBADE: I/O error restricted to the I_T_L nexus'Retryable' in this context means that an I/O error _might_ be
restricted to the I_T_L nexus (vulgo: path), so retrying on another
nexus / path might succeed.'Non-retryable' in general refers to a target failure, so this
error will always be generated regardless of the I_T_L nexus
it was send on.I/O errors restricted to the I_T_L nexus might be retried
on another nexus / path, but they should _not_ be queued

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.Reported-by: Ed Lin

The usage of TUR has been confusing involving several different
commits updating different parts over time. Currently, the only
differences between scsi_test_unit_ready() and sr_test_unit_ready()
are,* scsi_test_unit_ready() also sets sdev->changed on NOT_READY.
* scsi_test_unit_ready() returns 0 if TUR ended with UNIT_ATTENTION or
NOT_READY.Due to the above two differences, sr is using its own
sr_test_unit_ready(), but sd - the sole user of the above extra
handling - doesn't even need them.Where scsi_test_unit_ready() is used in sd_media_changed(), the code
is looking for device ready w/ media present state which is true iff
TUR succeeds w/o sense data or UA, and when the device is not ready
for whatever reason sd_media_changed() explicitly marks media as
missing so there's no reason to set sdev->changed automatically from
scsi_test_unit_ready() on NOT_READY.Drop both special handlings from scsi_test_unit_ready(), which makes
it equivalant to sr_test_unit_ready(), and replace
sr_test_unit_ready() with scsi_test_unit_ready(). Also, drop the
unnecessary explicit NOT_READY check from sd_media_changed().
Checking return value is enough for testing device readiness.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

The error handler is using the test cmd->serial_number == 0 in the
abort routines to signal that the command to be aborted has already
completed normally. This design was to close a race window in the
original error handler where a command could go through the normal
completion routines after it timed out but before error handling was
started.Mike Anderson pointed out that when we converted our timeout and
softirq completions, we picked up atomicity here because the block
layer now mediates this with the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag and guarantees
that *either* the command times out or our done routine is called, but
ensures we can't get both occurring. That makes the serial number
zero check redundant and it can be removed.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Except for SCSI no device drivers distinguish between physical and
hardware segment limits. Consolidate the two into a single segment
limit.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen

The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen

Further to the lsml thread titled:
"does scsi_io_completion need to dump sense data for ata pass through (ck_cond =
1) ?"This is a patch to skip logging when the sense data is
associated with a SENSE_KEY of "RECOVERED_ERROR" and the
additional sense code is "ATA PASS-THROUGH INFORMATION
AVAILABLE". This only occurs with the SAT ATA PASS-THROUGH
commands when CK_COND=1 (in the cdb). It indicates that
the sense data contains ATA registers.Smartmontools uses such commands on ATA disks connected via
SAT. Periodic checks such as those done by smartd cause
nuisance entries into logs that are:
- neither errors nor warnings
- pointless unless the cdb that caused them are also loggedSigned-off-by: Douglas Gilbert

Because of the terrible structuring of scsi-bidi-commands
it breaks some of the life time rules of a scsi-command.
It is now not allowed to free up the block-request before
cleanup and partial deallocation of the scsi-command. (Which
is not so for none bidi commands)The right fix to this problem would be to make bidi command
a first citizen by allocating a scsi_sdb pointer at scsi command
just like cmd->prot_sdb. The bidi sdb should be allocated/deallocated
as part of the get/put_command (Again like the prot_sdb) and the
current decoupling of scsi_cmnd and blk-request should be kept.For now make sure scsi_release_buffers() is called before the
call to blk_end_request_all() which might cause the suicide of
the block requests. At best the leak of bidi buffers, at worse
a crash, as there is a race between the existence of the bidi_request
and the free of the associated bidi_sdb.The reason this was never hit before is because only OSD has the potential
of doing asynchronous bidi commands. (So does bsg but it is never used)
And OSD clients just happen to do all their bidi commands synchronously, up
until recently.CC: Stable Tree

A thin provisioned device may temporarily be out of sufficient
allocation units to fulfill a write request. In that case it will
return a space allocation in progress error. Wait a bit and retry the
write.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen
