5cb2fc0610 [SCSI] scsi_debug: create new scsi_debug devices at a single place
Two functions, sdebug_add_adapter and devInfoReg, creates new
scsi_debug devices. To simplify the code, this patch adds a new helper
function to create new scsi_debug devices (sdebug_device_create) and
converts both functions to use it.

I plan to add more to scsi_debug devices (e.g. using a thread for a
scsi_debug device for scalability testings). This patch enable me to
add such to just the new helper function instead of touching two
functions, sdebug_add_adapter and devInfoReg.

e507e30b80 [SCSI] consolidate command allocation in a single place
Since the way we allocate commands with a separate sense buffer is
getting complicated, we should isolate setup and teardown to a single

in the code that needs to be altered.

9ac16b616a [SCSI] scsi: add wrapper functions for sg buffer copy helper functions
LLDs need to copies data between the SG table in struct scsi_cmnd and
liner buffer. So they use the helper functions like

sg_copy_from_buffer(scsi_sglist(sc), scsi_sg_count(sc), buf, buflen)
sg_copy_to_buffer(scsi_sglist(sc), scsi_sg_count(sc), buf, buflen)

This patch just adds wrapper functions:

scsi_sg_copy_from_buffer(sc, buf, buflen)
scsi_sg_copy_to_buffer(sc, buf, buflen)

b1adaf65ba [SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions
This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG
list and a linear buffer.

- sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list

- sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer

When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list,
flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone
but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not
used in performance critical path.

78b4b05db5 [SCSI] BusLogic: make FlashPoint support x86-32 only
We've verified that there are 64 bit and endianness problems in the
flashpoint driver.  Reverse the logic of CONFIG_OMIT_FLASHPOINT (make
it CONFIG_SCSI_FLASHPOINT) and make it depend on X86_32 so it can't
appear for any other architectures.  Long term, if someone chooses,
they could make FlashPoint 64 bit compliant (it looks like its a
question of fixing up the sizes in some of the packed descriptors)

74b2e047ec [SCSI] zfcp: convert zfcp to use target reset and device reset handler
[based on proposal from Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu>, this
patch adds some simplifications to the handler functions]

With the new target reset handler callback in the SCSI midlayer, the
device reset handler in zfcp can be split in two parts. Now, zfcp does
not have to track anymore whether the device supports LUN resets, so
remove this flag and let the SCSI midlayer decide what to do.

The device reset handler simply issues a LUN reset and the target
reset handler a target reset.

30bd7df8ce [SCSI] scsi_error: add target reset handler
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.

b271f1c881 [SCSI] aacraid: READ_CAPACITY_16 shouldn't trust allocation length in cdb
When aacraid spoofs READ_CAPACITY_16, it assumes that the data length
in the sg list is equal to allocation length in cdb. But sg can put
any value in scb so the driver needs to check both the data length in
the sg list and allocation length in cdb.

If allocation length is larger than the response length that the
driver expects, it clears the data buffer in the sg list to zero but
it doesn't need to do. Just setting resid is fine.

164fc5dcd6 scsi: fix sense_slab/bio swapping livelock
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.
