* 'async-scsi-resume' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/isci:
scsi: async sd resume
async_schedule() sd resume work to allow disks and other devices to
resume in parallel.
This moves the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context to
ensure that scsi_device_resume() remains ordered with respect to the
completion of the start/stop command. For the duration of the resume,
new command submissions (that do not originate from the scsi-core) will
be deferred (BLKPREP_DEFER).
It adds a new ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(scsi_sd_pm_domain) as a container
of these operations. Like scsi_sd_probe_domain it is flushed at
sd_remove() time to ensure async ops do not continue past the
end-of-life of the sdev. The implementation explicitly refrains from
reusing scsi_sd_probe_domain directly for this purpose as it is flushed
at the end of dpm_resume(), potentially defeating some of the benefit.
Given sdevs are quiesced it is permissible for these resume operations
to bleed past the async_synchronize_full() calls made by the driver
core.
We defer the resolution of which pm callback to call until
scsi_dev_type_{suspend|resume} time and guarantee that the callback
parameter is never NULL. With this in place the type of resume
operation is encoded in the async function identifier.
There is a concern that async resume could trigger PSU overload. In the
enterprise, storage enclosures enforce staggered spin-up regardless of
what the kernel does making async scanning safe by default. Outside of
that context a user can disable asynchronous scanning via a kernel
command line or CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC. Honor that setting when
deciding whether to do resume asynchronously.

This allows drivers to specify the size of their per-command private
data in the host template and then get extra memory allocated for
each command instead of needing another allocation in ->queuecommand.
With the current SCSI code that already does multiple allocations for
each command this probably doesn't make a big performance impact, but
it allows to clean up the drivers, and prepare them for using the
blk-mq infrastructure where the common allocation will make a difference.

EVPD page 0x83 is used to uniquely identify the device.
So instead of having each and every program issue a separate

sense to display it in sysfs.
Some older devices (most notably tapes) will only report reliable

When a command runs into a timeout we need to send an 'ABORT TASK'
TMF. This is typically done by the 'eh_abort_handler' LLDD callback.
Conceptually, however, this function is a normal SCSI command, so
there is no need to enter the error handler.
This patch implements a new scsi_abort_command() function which
invokes an asynchronous function scsi_eh_abort_handler() to
abort the commands via the usual 'eh_abort_handler'.
If abort succeeds the command is either retried or terminated,
depending on the number of allowed retries. However, 'eh_eflags'
records the abort, so if the retry would fail again the
command is pushed onto the error handler without trying to
abort it (again); it'll be cleared up from SCSI EH.

SATA drives located behind a SAS controller would incorrectly receive
WRITE SAME commands. Tweak the heuristics so that:
- If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is provided we will use that to
choose between WRITE SAME(16), WRITE SAME(10) and disabled. This also
fixes an issue with the old code which would issue WRITE SAME(10)
despite the command not being whitelisted in REPORT SUPPORTED
OPERATION CODES.
- If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is not provided we will fall back
to WRITE SAME(10) unless the device has an ATA Information VPD page.
The assumption is that a SATL which is smart enough to implement
WRITE SAME would also provide REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES.
To facilitate the new heuristics scsi_report_opcode() has been modified
to so we can distinguish between "operation not supported" and "RSOC not

In response to an async related regression James noted:
"My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of
our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even
the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true."
...so make this assumption true.
Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain
list when work is scheduled. Once all entries complete it exits that
list. Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across
all domains.
Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive
ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared
exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work
item completes.
Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain()
is there to close any theoretical races with pending
async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.

We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.
The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.
If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.
Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an

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

Current FC HBA queue_depth ramp up code depends on last queue
full time. The sdev already has last_queue_full_time field to
track last queue full time but stored value is truncated by
last four bits.
So this patch updates last_queue_full_time without truncating
last 4 bits to store full value and then updates its only
current usages in scsi_track_queue_full to ignore last four bits
to keep current usages same while also use this field
in added ramp up code.
Adds scsi_handle_queue_ramp_up to ramp up queue_depth on
successful completion of IO. The scsi_handle_queue_ramp_up will
do ramp up on all luns of a target, just same as ramp down done
on all luns on a target.
The ramp up is skipped in case the change_queue_depth is not
supported by LLD or already reached to added max_queue_depth.
Updates added max_queue_depth on every new update to default
queue_depth value.
The ramp up is also skipped if lapsed time since either last
queue ramp up or down is less than LLD specified
queue_ramp_up_period.
Adds queue_ramp_up_period to sysfs but only if change_queue_depth
is supported since ramp up and queue_ramp_up_period is needed only
in case change_queue_depth is supported first.
Initializes queue_ramp_up_period to 120HZ jiffies as initial
default value, it is same as used in existing lpfc and qla2xxx.
-v2
Combined all ramp code into this single patch.
-v3
Moves max_queue_depth initialization after slave_configure is

SCSI-ml manages the queueing limits for the device and host, but
does not do so at the target level. However something something similar
can come in userful when a driver is transitioning a transport object to
the the blocked state, becuase at that time we do not want to queue
io and we do not want the queuecommand to be called again.
The patch adds code similar to the exisiting SCSI_ML_*BUSY handlers.
You can now return SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY when we hit
a transport level queueing issue like the hw cannot allocate some
resource at the iscsi session/connection level, or the target has temporarily
closed or shrunk the queueing window, or if we are transitioning
to the blocked state.
bnx2i, when they rework their firmware according to netdev
developers requests, will also need to be able to limit queueing at this
level. bnx2i will hook into libiscsi, but will allocate a scsi host per
netdevice/hba, so unlike pure software iscsi/iser which is allocating
a host per session, it cannot set the scsi_host->can_queue and return
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY to reflect queueing limits on the transport.
The iscsi class/driver can also set a scsi_target->can_queue value which
reflects the max commands the driver/class can support. For iscsi this
reflects the number of commands we can support for each session due to
session/connection hw limits, driver limits, and to also reflect the
session/targets's queueing window.
Changes:
v1 - initial patch.
v2 - Fix scsi_run_queue handling of multiple blocked targets.
Previously we would break from the main loop if a device was added back on
the starved list. We now run over the list and check if any target is
blocked.
v3 - Rediff for scsi-misc.

We do not need to touch the tag map sizing because the drivers

blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
broke the scsi command completion code.
commit e97a294ef6 was introduced to fix
the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
not know about the block layer's padding).
This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.
Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.
blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer
de25deb180 upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

Original patch from Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> but should use ->extra_len
and not ->data_len, as we would then overshoot the original request size.

In preparation for bidi we abstract all IO members of scsi_cmnd,
that will need to duplicate, into a substructure.
- Group all IO members of scsi_cmnd into a scsi_data_buffer
structure.
- Adjust accessors to new members.
- scsi_{alloc,free}_sgtable receive a scsi_data_buffer instead of
scsi_cmnd. And work on it.
- Adjust scsi_init_io() and scsi_release_buffers() for above
change.
- Fix other parts of scsi_lib/scsi.c to members migration. Use
accessors where appropriate.
- fix Documentation about scsi_cmnd in scsi_host.h
- scsi_error.c
* Changed needed members of struct scsi_eh_save.
* Careful considerations in scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd.
- sd.c and sr.c
* sd and sr would adjust IO size to align on device's block
size so code needs to change once we move to scsi_data_buff
implementation.
* Convert code to use scsi_for_each_sg
* Use data accessors where appropriate.
- tgt: convert libsrp to use scsi_data_buffer
- isd200: This driver still bangs on scsi_cmnd IO members,
so need changing
[jejb: rebased on top of sg_table patches fixed up conflicts
and used the synergy to eliminate use_sg and sg_count]

Only hosts which actually have ISA DMA requirements need sense buffers
coming out of ZONE_DMA, so only use the __GFP_DMA flag for that case
to avoid allocating this scarce resource if it's not necessary.
