This patch (as1142b) consolidates a lot of repetitious code in scsi_io_completion(). It also fixes a few comments. Most importantly, however, it clearly distinguishes among the three sorts of retries that can be done when a command fails to complete: Unprepare the request and resubmit it, so that a new command will be created for it. Requeue the request directly so that it will be retried immediately using the same command. Requeue the request so that it will be retried following a short delay. Complete the remainder of the request with an I/O error. [jejb: Updates 1. For several error conditions, we would now print the sense twice in slightly different ways, so unify the location of sense printing. 2. I added more descriptions to actual failure conditions for better debugging 3. according to spec, ABORTED_COMMAND is supposed to be retried (except on DIF failure). Our old behaviour of erroring it looks to be a bug. 4. I'd prefer not to default initialise the action variable because that ensures that every leg of the error handler has an associated action and the compiler will warn if someone later accidentally misses one or removes one. ] Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

The CRQs used by the ibmvfc driver are read and written by both the client and the server. Therefore, we need to mark them volatile so that we do not cache their contents when handling an interrupt. This fixes a problem which can surface as occasional command timeouts. No commands were actually timing out, but due to accessing cached data for the CRQ in the interrupt handler, the interrupt was not processing all command completions as it should.

Following changes have been made: 1. Outstanding commands are based on a request queue, scsi_qla_host does not maintain it anymore. 2. start_scsi is accessed via isp_ops struct instead of direct invocation. 3. Interrupt registrations are done using response queue instead of device id.

Following changes have been made to the qla2xxx FC driver in preparation for the multi- queue and future SR IOV hardware. 1. scsi_qla_host structure has been changed to contain scsi host specific data only. 2. A new structure, qla_hw_data is created to contain HBA specific hardware data. 3. Request and response IO specific data strucures are created. 4. The global list of fcports for the hba is not maintained anymore, instead a fcport list is construted on per scsi_qla_host.

Vladislav Bolkhovitin authored
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 patch implement suggestion by James Bottomley from http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121932916906009&w=2.

Brian King authored
If the ibmvfc driver is in discovery attempting to log into a target and it encounters an error, the command may get retried one or more times, depending on the error received. If the retries are unsuccessful such that the discovery thread gives up on discovery to that target, the target ends up in a state where, if SCSI core had previously known about the device, the host will get unblocked but the host will not be logged into the target, causing any commands sent to the target to fail. This patch fixes this so that if this occurs, the target is deleted such that the normal dev_loss processing can occur instead.

Due to an ambiguity in the VIOS VFC interface specification, abort/cancel handling is not done correctly and can result in double completion of commands. In order to cancel all outstanding commands to a device, a cancel must be sent, followed by an abort task set. After the responses are received for these commands, there may still be commands outstanding, in the process of getting flushed back, in which case, we need to wait for them. This patch removes the assumption that if the abort and the cancel both complete successfully that the device queue has been flushed and waits for all the responses to come back.

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors. The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages(). One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned, because otherwise mark_bootmem() gets upset. This error case was triggered by using 64 KiB pages in the kernel while arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.c arbitrarily reduced the amount of memory by 4096 (to work around a chip bug that affects the last 256 bytes of physical memory).
