SCSI host lock push-down

2010-11-16T21:33:23Z

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway. The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved. Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand, struct Scsi_Host * and remove one parameter from queuecommand, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *) Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway, and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done. Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

[SCSI] libosd: write/read_sg_kern API

2010-10-26T15:42:35Z

This is a trivial addition to the SG API that can receive kernel pointers. It is only used by the out-of-tree test module. So it's immediate need is questionable. For maintenance ease it might just get in, as it's very small. John. do you need this in the Kernel, or is it only for osd_ktest.ko? Signed-off-by: John A.

[SCSI] libosd: Support for scatter gather write/read commands

2010-10-26T15:42:34Z

This patch adds the Scatter-Gather (sg) API to libosd. Scatter-gather enables a write/read of multiple none-contiguous areas of an object, in a single call. The extents may overlap and/or be in any order. The Scatter-Gather list is sent to the target in what is called a "cdb continuation segment". This is yet another possible segment in the osd-out-buffer. It is unlike all other segments in that it sits before the actual "data" segment (which until now was always first), and that it is signed by itself and not part of the data buffer. This is because the cdb-continuation-segment is considered a spill-over of the CDB data, and is therefor signed under OSD_SEC_CAPKEY and higher. TODO: A new osd_finalize_request_ex version should be supplied so the @caps received on the network also contains a size parameter and can be spilled over into the "cdb continuation segment". Thanks to John Chandy for the original code, and investigations. And the implementation of SG support in the osd-target.

[SCSI] libfc: Do not let disc work cancel itself

2010-10-25T20:11:37Z

When number of NPIV ports created are greater than the xids allocated per pool -- for eg., creating 255 NPIV ports on a system with nr_cpu_ids of 32, with each pool containing 128 xids -- and then generating a link event - for eg., shutdown/no shutdown -- on the switch port causes the hang with the following stack trace. Call Trace: schedule_timeout+0x19d/0x230 wait_for_common+0xc0/0x170 __cancel_work_timer+0xcf/0x1b0 fc_disc_stop+0x16/0x30 [libfc] fc_lport_reset_locked+0x47/0x90 [libfc] fc_lport_enter_reset+0x67/0xe0 [libfc] fc_lport_disc_callback+0xbc/0xe0 [libfc] fc_disc_done+0xa8/0xf0 [libfc] fc_disc_timeout+0x29/0x40 [libfc] run_workqueue+0xb8/0x140 worker_thread+0x96/0x110 kthread+0x96/0xa0 child_rip+0xa/0x20 Fix is to not cancel the disc_work if discovery is already stopped, thus allowing lport state machine to restart and try discovery again.

IB/srp: Implement SRP_CRED_REQ and SRP_AER_REQ

2010-10-23T05:19:10Z

This patch adds support for SRP_CRED_REQ to avoid a lockup by targets that use that mechanism to return credits to the initiator. This prevents a lockup observed in the field where we would never add the credits from the SRP_CRED_REQ to our current count, and would therefore never send another command to the target. Minimal support for SRP_AER_REQ is also added, as these messages can also be used to convey additional credits to the initiator. Based upon extensive debugging and code by Bart Van Assche and a bug report by Chris Worley. Signed-off-by: David Dillow Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier
