  • The driver core driver structure has grown an owner field and now
    requires it to be set for all modular drivers. Set it up for
    all scsi_driver instances and get rid of the now superflous
    scsi_driver owner field.

  • There is no reason for ULDs to pass in a flag on how to allocate the S/G
    lists. While we don't need GFP_ATOMIC for the blk-mq case because we
    don't hold locks, that decision can be made way down the chain without
    having to pass a pointless gfp_mask argument.

  • The calling conventions for this function are bad as it could return
    -ENODEV both for a device not currently online and a not recognized ioctl.

    Add a new scsi_ioctl_block_when_processing_errors function that wraps
    scsi_block_when_processing_errors with the a special case for the
    SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl command, and handle the SG_SCSI_RESET case itself
    in scsi_ioctl. All callers of scsi_ioctl now must call the above helper
    to check for the EH state, so that the ioctl handler itself doesn't
    have to.

  • SCSI Well-known logical units generally don't have any scsi driver
    associated with it which means no one will call scsi_autopm_put_device()
    on these wlun scsi devices and this would result in keeping the
    corresponding scsi device always active (hence LLD can't be suspended as
    well). Same exact problem can be seen for other scsi device representing
    normal logical unit whose driver is yet to be loaded. This patch fixes
    the above problem with this approach:

    - make the scsi_autopm_put_device call at the end of scsi_sysfs_add_sdev
    to make it balance out the get earlier in the function.
    - let drivers do paired get/put calls in their probe methods.

  • Migrate sr to make use of block layer runtime PM. Accordingly, the
    SCSI bus layer runtime PM callback is simplified as all SCSI drivers
    implementing runtime PM now use the block layer's request-based
    mechanism.

    Note that due to the device will be polled by kernel at a constant
    interval, if the autosuspend delay is set longer than the polling
    interval then the device will never suspend.

  • When the ODD is powered off, any action the user did to the ODD that
    would generate a media event will trigger an ACPI interrupt, so the
    poll for media event is no longer necessary. And the poll will also
    cause a runtime status change, which will stop the ODD from staying in
    powered off state, so the poll should better be stopped.

    But since we don't have access to the gendisk structure in LLDs, here
    comes the disk_events_disable_depth for scsi device. This field is a
    hint set by LLDs to convey information to upper layer drivers. A value
    of 0 means media poll is necessary for the device, while values above 0
    means media poll is not needed and should better be skipped. So we can
    increase its value when we are to power off the ODD in ATA layer and
    decrease its value when the ODD is powered on, effectively silence the
    media events poll.

  • This patch adds runtime pm support for sr.

    It did this by increasing the runtime usage_count of the device when
    its block device is accessed. And decreasing the runtime usage_count
    of the device when the access is done.

    If there is media inside, runtime suspend is not allowed as we don't
    always know if the ODD is being used or not.

    The idea is discussed here:

  • Some broken devices indicates that media has changed on every
    GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION. This translates into MEDIA_CHANGE
    uevent on every open() which lets udev run into a loop.

    Verify GET_EVENT result against TUR and if it generates spurious

  • Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
    primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
    progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
    removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
    effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

    This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
    behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

  • SDEV_MEDIA_CHANGE event was first added by commit a341cd0f (SCSI: add
    asynchronous event notification API) for SATA AN support and then
    extended to cover generic media change events by commit 285e9670
    ([SCSI] sr,sd: send media state change modification events).

    This event was mapped to block device in userland with all properties
    stripped to simulate CHANGE event on the block device, which, in turn,
    was used to trigger further userspace action on media change.

    The recent addition of disk event framework kept this event for
    backward compatibility but it turns out to be unnecessary and causes
    erratic and inefficient behavior. The new disk event generates proper
    events on the block devices and the compat events are mapped to block
    device with all properties stripped, so the block device ends up
    generating multiple duplicate events for single actual event.

    This patch removes the compat event generation from both sr and sd as
    suggested by Kay Sievers. Both existing and newer versions of udev
    and the associated tools will behave better with the removal of these
    events as they from the beginning were expecting events on the block
    devices.

  • Replace sr_media_change() with sr_check_events(). It normally only
    uses GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION to check both media change and
    eject request. If @clearing includes DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE, it
    issues TUR and compares whether media presence has changed. The SCSI
    specific media change uevent is kept for compatibility.

    sr_media_change() was doing both media change check and revalidation.
    The revalidation part is split into sr_block_revalidate_disk().

  • 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.

  • sr_test_unit_ready() returns 0 iff TUR succeeded - IOW, when media is
    present and the device is actually ready, so the return value wouldn't
    be zero when TUR ends with sense data. sr_media_change() incorrectly
    tests (retval || (scsi_sense_valid(sshdr)...)) when it tries to test
    whether TUR failed without sense data or with sense data indicating
    media-not-present.

    Fix the test using scsi_status_is_good() and update comments.

  • Some USB devices emulate a usb-mass-storage attached (scsi) cdrom device,
    usually this fake cdrom contains the windows software for the device.
    While working on supporting Appotech ax3003 based photoframes, which do
    this I discovered that they will go of into lala land when ever they see a
    READ_DISC_INFO scsi command.

    Thus this patch adds a scsi_device flag (which can then be set by the
    usb-storage driver through an unsual-devs entry), to indicate this, and
    makes the sr driver honor this flag.

    I know this sucks, but as discussed on linux-scsi list there is no other
    way to make this device work properly.

    Looking at usb traces made under windows, windows never sends a
    READ_DISC_INFO during normal interactions with a usb cdrom device. So as
    this cdrom emulation thingie becomes more common we might see more of this
    problem.

  • The open and release block_device_operations are currently
    called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
    first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
    on this have no regressions.

    This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
    operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
    next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
    with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
    be shown that it is not needed.

    The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
    remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
    layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
    of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

    Most of these two functions is also under the protection
    of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
    ->open and ->release, and the common code does not
    access any global data structures that need the BKL.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
    block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
    With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The

    512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
    and the logical ditto.

  • We have a problem with recovered error handling in that any command
    which goes down as BLOCK_PC but which returns a sense code of RECOVERED
    ERROR gets completed with -EIO. For actual SG_IO commands, this doesn't
    matter at all, since the error return code gets dropped in favour of
    req->errors which contain the SCSI completion code.

    However, if this command is part of the block system, then it will pay
    attention to the returned error code. In particularly if a SYNCHRONIZE
    CACHE from a barrier command completes with RECOVERED ERROR, the
    resulting -EIO on the barrier causes block to error the request and
    return it to the filesystem. Fix this by converting the -EIO for
    recovered error to zero, plus remove the printing of this from sd and sr
    so the message isn't double printed.

  • Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the
    magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW. It would be even better to do this directly
    in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files,
    not just block special files.

  • To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
    to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
    1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
    prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
    2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
    are converted in this series.
    3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

    Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
    end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
    we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
    debugging if anything goes wrong.

    New methods:
    open(bdev, mode)
    release(disk, mode)
    ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
    compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
    locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

  • Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
    Move those bits to the block layer.

    Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
    and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
    tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
    less timer fiddling.

  • * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
    access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

    Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
    block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
    ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
    disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However,
    convert them for consistency.

    * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
    genhd->minors.

    * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
    space.

    * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
    the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

    These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
    fix and extended block device numbers.
