[SCSI] Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers

2013-11-29T04:48:39Z

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs or excessive I/O errors. This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template. [jejb: fix up rejections due to eh_deadline patch] Signed-off-by: Martin K.

scsi_transport_srp: Add periodic reconnect support

Add support for periodically reconnecting to an SRP target until the dev_loss timer expires. After the tenth reconnection attempt, gradually slow down subsequent reconnect attempts. Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Acked-by: David Dillow Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier

scsi_transport_srp: Add transport layer error handling

2013-11-08T22:43:15Z

Add the necessary functions in the SRP transport module to allow an SRP initiator driver to implement transport layer error handling similar to the functionality already provided by the FC transport layer. This includes: - Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before failing I/O. - Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before removing a remote port.

IB/srp: Keep rport as long as the IB transport layer

2013-11-08T22:43:15Z

Keep the rport data structure around after srp_remove_host() has finished until cleanup of the IB transport layer has finished completely. This is necessary because later patches use the rport pointer inside the queuecommand callback. Without this patch accessing the rport from inside a queuecommand callback is racy because srp_remove_host() must be invoked before scsi_remove_host() and because the queuecommand callback could get invoked after srp_remove_host() has finished. In other words, without this patch the queuecommand callback can get invoked after the rport data structure has been freed.

[SCSI] Add 'eh_deadline' to limit SCSI EH runtime

2013-10-25T11:17:59Z

This patchs adds an 'eh_deadline' sysfs attribute to the scsi host which limits the overall runtime of the SCSI EH. The 'eh_deadline' value is stored in the now obsolete field 'resetting'. When a command is failed the start time of the EH is stored in 'last_reset'. If the overall runtime of the SCSI EH is longer than last_reset + eh_deadline, the EH is short-circuited and falls through to issue a host reset only.

libfcoe: Make fcoe_sysfs optional / fix fnic NULL exception

2013-10-11T20:25:40Z

fnic doesn't use any of the create/destroy/enable/disable interfaces either from the (legacy) module paramaters or the (new) fcoe_sysfs interfaces. When fcoe_sysfs was introduced fnic wasn't changed since it wasn't using the interfaces. libfcoe incorrectly assumed that that all of its users were using fcoe_sysfs and when adding and deleting FCFs would assume the existance of a fcoe_ctlr_device. fnic was not allocating this structure because it doesn't care about the standard user interfaces (fnic starts on link only). If/When libfcoe tried to use the fcoe_ctlr_device's lock for the first time a NULL pointer exception would be triggered. Since fnic doesn't care about sysfs or user interfaces, the solution is to drop libfcoe's assumption that all drivers are using fcoe_sysfs. This patch accomplishes this by changing some of the structure relationships. We need a way to determine when a LLD is using fcoe_sysfs or not and we can do that by checking for the existance of the fcoe_ctlr_device. Prior to this patch, it was assumed that the fcoe_ctlr structure was allocated with the fcoe_ctlr_device and immediately followed it in memory. To reach the fcoe_ctlr_device we would simply go back in memory from the fcoe_ctlr to get the fcoe_ctlr_device. Since fnic doesn't allocate the fcoe_ctlr_device, we cannot keep that assumption. This patch adds a pointer from the fcoe_ctlr to the fcoe_ctlr_device. For bnx2fc and fcoe we will continue to allocate the two structures together, but then we'll set the ctlr->cdev pointer to point at the fcoe_ctlr_device. fnic will not change and will continue to allocate the fcoe_ctlr itself, and ctlr->cdev will remain NULL. When libfcoe adds fcoe_fcf's to the fcoe_ctlr it will check if ctlr->cdev is set and only if so will it continue to interact with fcoe_sysfs.
