When the transport is busy and we're sending an EH command drivers
occasionally return 'BUSY'. As this in most cases is the TUR
command sent as part of the error recovery this is a sure way
to make the error recovery escalate. Returning 'NEEDS_RETRY'
here will just retry the TUR command and eventually abort the
original command, thus making error handling far smoother.

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file
systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry
requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the
response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want).
We need a workaround such as the commit
77a4229719 to retry BLOCK_PC flush
requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too
since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally.
This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to
transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we
also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the
callers don't.
This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS
requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(),
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before.
Note that basically, this reverts the commit
77a4229719 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS
for flush requests.

This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer. Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them. Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.
The implementation is simplistic. In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything. (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.) There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.
LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume). Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.
The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered. If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count. If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.
Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running. In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

If the user accidentally changes LUN mappings or it occurs
due to a bug, then it can cause data corruption that can take

a generic message for other Unit Attentions with asc == 0x3f.

There's nastyness in the way we currently handle barriers (and
discards): They're effectively filesystem commands, but they get
processed as BLOCK_PC commands. Unfortunately BLOCK_PC commands are
taken by SCSI to be SG_IO commands and the issuer expects to see and
handle any returned errors, however trivial. This leads to a huge
problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any
trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error
to the filesystem.
The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of
offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the
case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER. A correct fix would involve a rework of
the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a
quick fix.

If the scsi eh is running and then a FC LLD calls
fc_remote_port_delete, the SCSI commands sent from the eh will fail.
To prevent this, a FC LLD can call fc_block_scsi_eh from the eh
callback, blocking the eh thread until the dev_loss_tmo fires or the
remote port is available again.
If (e.g. for a multipathing setup) the dev_loss_tmo is set to a very
large value, thus preventing the scsi device removal , the scsi eh can
block for a long time. For multipathing, the fast_io_fail_tmo is then
set to a low value to detect path problems sooner.
This patch introduces a new return code FAST_IO_FAIL. The function
fc_block_scsi_eh now returns FAST_IO_FAIL when the fast_io_fail_tmo
fires. This indicates that the LLD terminated all pending I/O requests
and there are no more pending SCSI commands for the scsi eh to wait
for. This return code can be passed back to the scsi eh to stop the
escalation and finish the recovery process for this device.

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.

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.

Combined all ramp code into this single patch.

An IBM tape drive failed to complete a PERSISTENT RESERVE IN within the scsi
cmd timeout. Error recovery was initiated and it sequenced from abort through
taking the tape drive offline.
The device was taken offline because it repeatedly responded to the TUR command
issued by error recovery with a RESERVATION CONFLICT status. The tape drive
was reserved to another system. This is perfectly legitimate response to TUR,
and is one that an escalation of recovery is unlikely to clear. Further,
escalation of recovery can have undesirable side effects on the operation of
tape drives shared with other initiators.
Instead of escalating recovery, error recovery should treat the RESERVATION
CONFLICT response to the TUR as a good status, giving the issuer of the
command the opportunity to handle the timeout and reservation conflict.

This patch improves handling of TASK ABORTED status by Linux SCSI
mid-layer. Currently, command returned with this status considered
failed and returned to upper layers. It leads to additional error
recovery load on file systems and block layer, which sometimes can
cause undesired side effects, like I/O errors and file systems
corruptions. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/1/38, for instance.
From other side, TASK ABORTED status is returned by SCSI target if the
corresponding command was aborted by another initiator and the target
has TAS bit set in the control mode page. So, in the majority of cases
commands with TASK ABORTED status should be simply retried. In other
cases, maybe_retry path will not retry if no retries are allowed.

This checks the errors the scsi-ml determined were retryable
and returns if we should fast fail it based on the request
fail fast flags.
Without the patch, drivers like lpfc, qla2xxx and fcoe would return
DID_ERROR for what it determines is a temporary communication problem.
There is no loss of connectivity at that time and the driver thinks
that it would be fast to retry at the driver level. SCSI-ml will however
sees fast fail on the request and DID_ERROR and will fast fail the io.
This will then cause dm-multipath to fail the path and possibley switch
target controllers when we should be retrying at the scsi layer.
We also were fast failing device errors to dm multiapth when
unless the scsi_dh modules think otherwis we want to retry at
the scsi layer because multipath can only retry the IO like scsi
should have done. multipath is a little dumber though because it
does not what the error was for and assumes that it should fail

Currently, if there is a transport problem the iscsi drivers will return
outstanding commands (commands being exeucted by the driver/fw/hw) with
DID_BUS_BUSY and block the session so no new commands can be queued.
Commands that are caught between the failure handling and blocking are
failed with DID_IMM_RETRY or one of the scsi ml queuecommand return values.
When the recovery_timeout fires, the iscsi drivers then fail IO with
DID_NO_CONNECT.
For fcp, some drivers will fail some outstanding IO (disk but possibly not
tape) with DID_BUS_BUSY or DID_ERROR or some other value that causes a retry
and hits the scsi_error.c failfast check, block the rport, and commands
caught in the race are failed with DID_IMM_RETRY. Other drivers, may
hold onto all IO and wait for the terminate_rport_io or dev_loss_tmo_callbk
to be called.
The following patches attempt to unify what upper layers will see drivers
like multipath can make a good guess. This relies on drivers being
hooked into their transport class.
This first patch just defines two new host byte errors so drivers can
return the same value for when a rport/session is blocked and for
when the fast_io_fail_tmo fires.
The idea is that if the LLD/class detects a problem and is going to block
a rport/session, then if the LLD wants or must return the command to scsi-ml,
then it can return it with DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED. This will requeue
the IO into the same scsi queue it came from, until the fast io fail timer
fires and the class decides what to do.
When using multipath and the fast_io_fail_tmo fires then the class
can fail commands with DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST or drivers can use
DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST in their terminate_rport_io callbacks or
the equivlent in iscsi if we ever implement more advanced recovery methods.
A LLD, like lpfc, could continue to return DID_ERROR and then it will hit
the normal failfast path, so drivers do not have fully be ported to
work better. The point of the patches is that upper layers will
not see a failure that could be recovered from while the rport/session is
blocked until fast_io_fail_tmo/recovery_timeout fires.

Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told
explicitly how to handle the I/O. The controller has no knowledge of
the protection capabilities of the target device so this information
must be passed in the scsi_cmnd.
- The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or
verify protection information.
- The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
formatted with. This is necessary because the controller must be
able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
order to verify it.
- When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in

Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),

2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.
As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.
Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.

- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
could function without a request attached. So clean that up.
- Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.
- Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
and is reflected in the patch below is.
MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
as per the SCSI standard and is not related
to the implementation.
BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level
- I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.
(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

The problem is that serveral drivers are sending a target reset from the
device reset handler, and if we have multiple devices a target reset gets
sent for each device when only one would be sufficient. And if we do a target
reset it affects all the commands on the target so the device reset handler
code only cleaning up one devices's commands makes programming the driver a
little more difficult than it should be.
This patch adds a target reset handler, which drivers can use to send
a target reset. If successful it cleans up the commands for a devices
accessed through that starget.

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

This reverts commit ac40532ef0, which gets
us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283.
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283 is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

This fixes a regression caused by commit:
2dc611de5a
The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use
alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not
updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total
grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got.
Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up
in the sense buffer.
Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can
end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If
the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued
by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will
spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers
are on sparc64:
default:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name);
__scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd);
scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr);
err = -EIO;

scsi_send_eh_cmnd currently uses a semaphore and an overload of eh_timer
to either get a completion for a command for a timeout.
Switch to using a completion and wait_for_completion_timeout to simply
the code and not having to deal with the races ourselves.

Wrap a highly common idiom. Makes the code easier to read, helps pave
the way for sdev->{id,channel} removal, and adds a token that can easily
by grepped-for in the future.
There are a couple sdev_id() and scmd_printk() updates thrown in as well.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

Found in the -rt patch set. The scsi_error thread likely will be in the
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state upon exit. This patch fixes this bug.

This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code. The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

Modified to simplify the termination loop and correct the sleep condition.

We fix the oops by enforcing the host state model. There have also
been two extra states added: SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY and
SHOST_DEL_RECOVERY so we can take the model through host removal while
the recovery thread is active.

The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to
tell whether error recovery has succeeded. The scsi_eh_tur function
gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more
error recovery is needed.
However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed
when in fact error recovery has succeeded. A typical example might be
SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready). The mere
fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate
that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery.
I ran across a case back in January where this happened. A CD-ROM drive
timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage.
But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning
up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline.
If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would
have worked okay. It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just
because the error handler had started running.
