Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

SBC-4 states:
"A MAXIMUM UNMAP LBA COUNT field set to a non-zero value indicates the
maximum number of LBAs that may be unmapped by an UNMAP command"
"A MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH field set to a non-zero value indicates
the maximum number of contiguous logical blocks that the device server
allows to be unmapped or written in a single WRITE SAME command."
Despite the spec being clear on the topic, some devices incorrectly
expect WRITE SAME commands with the UNMAP bit set to be limited to the
value reported in MAXIMUM UNMAP LBA COUNT in the Block Limits VPD.
Implement a blacklist option that can be used to accommodate devices
with this behavior.

This works around a issue with qnap iscsi targets not handling large IOs
very well.
The target returns:
VPD INQUIRY: Block limits page (SBC)
Maximum compare and write length: 1 blocks
Optimal transfer length granularity: 1 blocks
Maximum transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Optimal transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Maximum prefetch, xdread, xdwrite transfer length: 0 blocks
Maximum unmap LBA count: 8388607
Maximum unmap block descriptor count: 1
Optimal unmap granularity: 16383
Unmap granularity alignment valid: 0
Unmap granularity alignment: 0
Maximum write same length: 0xffffffff blocks
Maximum atomic transfer length: 0
Atomic alignment: 0
Atomic transfer length granularity: 0
and it is *sometimes* able to handle at least one IO of size up to 8 MB. We
have seen in traces where it will sometimes work, but other times it
looks like it fails and it looks like it returns failures if we send
multiple large IOs sometimes. Also it looks like it can return 2 different
errors. It will sometimes send iscsi reject errors indicating out of
resources or it will send invalid cdb illegal requests check conditions.
And then when it sends iscsi rejects it does not seem to handle retries
when there are command sequence holes, so I could not just add code to
try and gracefully handle that error code.
The problem is that we do not have a good contact for the company,
so we are not able to determine under what conditions it returns
which error and why it sometimes works.
So, this patch just adds a new black list flag to set targets like this to
the old max safe sectors of 1024. The max_hw_sectors changes added in 3.19
caused this regression, so I also ccing stable.

Despite supporting modern SCSI features some storage devices continue to
claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec. This is done for
compatibility with legacy operating systems.
Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that
claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that can be used to
trigger VPD page inquiries on devices that are known to support them.

Sequential scan for more than 256 LUNs is very fragile as
LUNs might not be numbered sequentially after that point.
SAM revisions later than SCSI-3 impose a structure on
LUNs larger than 256, making LUN numbers between 256
and 16384 illegal.
SCSI-3, however allows for plain 64-bit numbers with
no internal structure.
So restrict sequential LUN scan to 256 LUNs and add a
new blacklist flag 'BLIST_SCSI3LUN' to scan up to
max_lun devices.

Some devices report a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0; with the original
code, we would still try a REPORT_LUNS scan (if SCSI level is >= 3 or if we
have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 passed in), but NOT any sequential scan.
Also, the device at LUN 0 (which is not connected according to the PQ) is not
registered with the OS.
Unfortunately, SANs exist that are SCSI-2 and do NOT support REPORT_LUNS, but
report a unknown device with PQ 3 on LUN 0. We still need to scan them, and
most probably we even need BLIST_SPARSELUN (and BLIST_LARGELUN). See the bug
reference for an infamous example.
This is patch 3/3:
3. Implement the blacklist flag BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 that makes the scsi
scanning code register PQ3 devices and continues scanning; only sg
will attach thanks to scsi_bus_match().

This patch now correctly handles SCSI_UNKNOWN types with regard to
BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 (allow it) and cdb[1] LUN inclusion (don't).
It also allows a BLIST_MAX_512 flag to restrict the maximum transfer
length to 512 blocks (apparently this is an RA4100 problem).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
