      [SCSI] iscsi_tcp: update header size during relogin · d5390f5f
      Mike Christie authored 
      When we relogin to a target, we have not yet negotiated digests
so we must reset the hdr_size var.

      [SCSI] iscsi_tcp: fix header resend · 753e7d38
      Mike Christie authored 
      This patch built over the last ones fixes a bug in the partial header
resend code, where we add on another 4 bytes to the send length on the resend.
We want just the header plus digest.

      [SCSI] scsi_tcp: rm data rx and tx tfms · dd8c0d95
      Mike Christie authored 
      We currently allocated seperate tfms for data and header digests. There
is no reason for this since we can never calculate a rx header and
digest at the same time. Same for sends. So this patch removes the data
tfms and has the send and recv sides use the rx_tfm or tx_tfm.

I also made the connection creation code preallocate the tfms because I
thought I hit a bug where I changed the digests settings during a
relogin but could not allocate the tfm and then we just failed.

      [SCSI] iscsi_tcp: fix padding, data digests, and IO at weird offsets · 62f38300
      Mike Christie authored 
      iscsi_tcp calculates padding by using the expected transfer length. This
has the problem where if we have immediate data = no and initial R2T =
yes, and the transfer length ended up needing padding then we send:

1. header
2. padding which should have gone after data
3. data

Besides this bug, we also assume the target will always ask for nice
transfer lengths and the first burst length will always be a nice value.
As far as I can tell form the RFC this is not a requirement. It would be
silly to do this, but if someone did it we will end doing bad things.

Finally the last bug in that bit of code is in our handling of the
recalculation of data digests when we do not send a whole iscsi_buf in
one try. The bug here is that we call crypto_digest_final on a
iscsi_sendpage error, then when we send the rest of the iscsi_buf, we
doiscsi_data_digest_init and this causes the previous data digest to be
lost.

And to make matters worse, some of these bugs are replicated over and
over and over again for immediate data, solicited data and unsolicited
data. So the attached patch made over the iscsi git tree (see
kernel.org/git for details) which I updated today to include the patches
I said I merged, consolidates the sending of data, padding and digests
and calculation of data digests and fixes the above bugs.

      [SCSI] attempt to complete r2t with data len greater than max burst · 98a9416a
      Mike Christie authored 
      A couple targets like string bean and MDS, send r2ts with
a data len greater than the max burst we agreed to. We
were being strict in our enforcing of the iscsi rfc in that
code path, but there is no driver limitation that prevents
us from fullfilling the request. To allow those targets
to work we will ignore the max_burst length and send as
much data as the target asks for assuming it has consciously
decided to override its max burst length.

      [SCSI] add refcouting around ctask usage in main IO patch · 60ecebf5
      Mike Christie authored 
      It is possible that a ctask could be completing and getting
cleaned up at the same time, we are finishing up the last
data transfer. This could then result in the data transfer
code using stale or invalid values. This patch adds a refcount
to the ctask. When the count goes to zero then we know the
transmit thread and recv thread or softirq are not touching
it and we can safely release it.

The eh should not need to grab a reference because it only cleans
up a task if it has both the xmit mutex and recv lock (or recv
side suspended).

      [SCSI] libiscsi, iscsi_tcp, iscsi_iser: check that burst lengths are valid. · ffd0436e
      Mike Christie authored 
      iSCSI RFC states that the first burst length must be smaller than the
max burst length. We currently assume targets will be good, but that may
not be the case, so this patch adds a check.

This patch also moves the unsol data out offset to the lib so the LLDs
do not have to track it.

      [SCSI] SCSI: sanitize INQUIRY strings · e5b3cd42
      Alan Stern authored 
      Sanitize the Vendor, Product, and Revision strings contained in an
INQUIRY result by setting all non-graphic or non-ASCII characters to ' '.
Since the standard disallows such characters, this will affect
only non-compliant devices.

To help maintain backward compatibility, NUL characters are treated
specially.  They are taken as string terminators; they and all the
following characters are set to ' '.  If some valid characters get
erased as a result... well, we weren't seeing them before so we haven't
lost anything.

The primary purpose of this change is to allow blacklist entries to
match devices with illegal Vendor or Product strings.

In addition, the patch updates a couple of function prototypes, giving
inq_result its correct type (unsigned char *).

      [SCSI] aic94xx: Increase can_queue for better performance · f19eaa7f
      Darrick J. Wong authored 
      This patch sets can_queue in the aic94xx driver's scsi_host to better
performing values than what's there currently.  It seems that
asd_ha->seq.can_queue reflects the number of requests that can be
queued per controller; so long as there's one scsi_host per
controller, it seems logical that the scsi_host ought to have the same
can_queue value.  To the best of my (still limited) knowledge, this
method provides the correct value.

The effect of leaving this value set to 1 is terrible performance in
the case of either (a) certain Maxtor SAS drives flying solo or (b)
flooding several disks with I/O simultaneously (md-raid).  There may be
more scenarios where we see similar problems that I haven't uncovered.

      [SCSI] MODULE_FIRMWARE for binary firmware(s) · 187afbed
      Jon Masters authored 
      Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use
request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland
when the module is loaded. This makes sense.

However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically
determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in
order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects
vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too.

The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for
advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will
then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.

      [SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: remove local_attached flag · f4ad7b58
      James Bottomley authored 
      This flag denotes local attachment of the phy.  There are two problems
with it:

1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply
by seeing whether a host is the phys parent
2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption
that we can only control local phys.  I'm wiring up phy resets in the
aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well.

I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function
of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't
(currently) control non-local phys.
