scsi_dh: kill struct scsi_dh_data

2015-08-28T20:14:57Z

Add a ->handler and a ->handler_data field to struct scsi_device and kill this indirection. Also move struct scsi_device_handler to scsi_dh.h so that changes to it don't require rebuilding every SCSI LLDD. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K.

scsi_dh: move device matching to the core code

2015-08-28T20:14:56Z

Add a single list of devices that need non-ALUA device handlers to the core scsi_dh code so that we can autoload the modules for them at probe time. While this is a little ugly in terms of architecture it actually significantly simplifies the code in addition to the new autoloading functionality.

scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code

2015-08-28T20:14:56Z

Stop building scsi_dh as a separate module and integrate it fully into the core SCSI code with explicit callouts at bus scan time. For now the callouts are placed at the same point as the old bus notifiers were called, but in the future we will be able to look at ALUA INQUIRY data earlier on. Note that this also means that the device handler modules need to be loaded by the time we scan the bus. The next patches will add support for autoloading device handlers at bus scan time to make sure they are always loaded if they are enabled in the kernel config.

dm-mpath, scsi_dh: request scsi_dh modules in scsi_dh, not dm-mpath

2015-08-28T20:14:55Z

This way we can reused the same code any attachment method, not just those requested from dm-mpath. [jejb: fixup checkpatch error] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Acked-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

dm-mpath, scsi_dh: don't let dm detach device handlers

2015-08-28T20:14:54Z

While allowing dm-mpath to attach device handlers is a functionality we need for backwards compatibility reason there is no reason to reference count them and detach them if dm-mpath stops using the device for some reason. If the device handler works for the given device it can just stay attached, and we can take the retain_hw_handler codepath.

scsi: fix device handler detach oops

2015-02-02T12:45:28Z

This fixes a regression caused by commit 1d5203 ("scsi: handle more device handler setup/teardown in common code"). The bug is that the alua detach() callout will try to access the sddev->scsi_dh_data, but we have already set it to NULL. This patch moves the clearing of that field to after detach() is called.
