      [SCSI] dc395x: dynamically map scatter-gather for PIO · cdb8c2a6
      Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
      The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not
      get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver
      uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the
      actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem).
      So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address
      and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random
      data to the device.
      
      The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using
      kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it
      has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches
      more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was
      able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from
      Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was
      also able to test and debug it.
      
      There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and
      without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with
      and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also
      somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had
      PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG.
      It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but
      even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait
      if anybody cries...
      
      Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations
      in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel
      strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there
      is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are
      the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure
      either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere
      around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either,
      and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were
      discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate
      scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around
      crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like
      lib/scattergather.c? I am open here.

      [SCSI] iscsi: add libiscsi · 7996a778
      Mike Christie authored
      There is a lot of code duplcited between iscsi_tcp
      and the upcoming iscsi_iser driver. This patch puts
      the duplicated code in a lib. There is more code
      to move around but this takes care of the
      basics. For iscsi_offload if they use the lib we will
      probably move some things around. For example in the
      queuecommand we will not assume that the LLD wants
      to do queue_work, but it is better to handle that
      later when we know for sure what iscsi_offload looks
      like (we could probably do this for iscsi_iser though to).
      
      Ideally I would like to get the iscsi_transports modules
      to a place where all they really have to do is put data
      on the wire, but how to do that will hopefully be more clear
      when we see other modules like iscsi_offload. Or maybe
      iscsi_offload will not use the lib and it will just be
      iscsi_iser and iscsi_tcp and maybe the iscsi_tcp_tgt if that
      is allowed in mainline.

      [SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi eh · 30a6c652
      Mike Christie authored
      The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath
      and performs some extra task management functions when they
      are not needed.
      
      The attached patch:
      
      - Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt
      then we do not send aborts.
      
      - Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would
      return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything
      yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR.
      
      - If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try
      and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout
      we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command
      timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a
      command to go from one patch to another. For network problems
      we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set
      scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to
      try on another path.
      
      - And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously
      if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code
      in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient
      or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin
      to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler
      is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be
      adding to that for qla4xxx.

      [SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up · fd7255f5
      Mike Christie authored
      For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we
      need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it
      iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that
      process is matching a session running the kernel with the
      iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch
      adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide
      them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport
      class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

      [SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connection · b5c7a12d
      Mike Christie authored
      from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu
      
      hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
      for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
      "iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
      patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
      the session and connection.
      
      Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
      open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
      say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
      designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
      need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
      have the HW available to us so we could only guess.
      
      Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
      or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
      userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

      [SCSI] BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flags · 13f7e5ac
      Kurt Garloff authored
      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().

      [SCSI] mptfusion - fix panic in mptsas_slave_configure · 3c0c25b9
      Moore, Eric authored
      Driver panic when RAID logical volume was present when driver
      loaded, or when a RAID logical volume was created on the fly.
      
      This issue was created in due to recent scsi_transport_sas change,
      when sas_read_port_mode_page was added into the mptsas drivers
      slave_config entry point.
      
      This new API expects that all sdev's to be assocated to an rphy, however
      that is not the case for logical volumes, as they are created using
      scsi_add_device, instead of sas_rphy_add().
