[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: reduce memory allocations

2006-07-28T16:49:34Z

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.

[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix oops when iser is flushing io

2006-07-28T16:48:32Z

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.

[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix abort handling

2006-07-28T16:48:16Z

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. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] iscsi bugfixes: fix r2t handling

2006-07-28T16:47:40Z

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. This patch fixes the above bug by making the fifo a list so we always remove the entry on the list del. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: add expander backlink

2006-07-12T13:03:20Z

This patch adds the ability to add a backlink to a particular port. The idea is to represent properly ports on expanders that are used specifically for linking to the parent device in the topology. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] hide EH backup data outside the scsi_cmnd

2006-07-09T16:56:44Z

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.

[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: add unindexed ports

2006-07-09T14:06:24Z

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. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] iscsi: add async notification of session events

2006-06-29T15:14:42Z

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. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] iscsi: pass target nr to session creation

2006-06-29T15:09:06Z

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. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: James Bottomley
