2014-11-27libsas: remove task_collector modeChristoph Hellwig
The task_collector mode (or "latency_injector", (C) Dan Willians) is an optional I/O path in libsas that queues up scsi commands instead of directly sending it to the hardware. It generall increases latencies to in the optiomal case slightly reduce mmio traffic to the hardware. Only the obsolete aic94xx driver and the mvsas driver allowed to use it without recompiling the kernel, and most drivers didn't support it at all. Remove the giant blob of code to allow better optimizations for scsi-mq in the future.

2014-03-10[SCSI] isci: fix reset timeout handlingDan Williams
Remove an erroneous BUG_ON() in the case of a hard reset timeout. The reset timeout handler puts the port into the "awaiting link-up" state. The timeout causes the device to be disconnected and we need to be in the awaiting link-up state to re-connect the port. The BUG_ON() made the incorrect assumption that resets never timeout and we always complete the reset in the "resetting" state. Testing this patch also uncovered that libata continues to attempt to reset the port long after the driver has torn down the context. Once the driver has committed to abandoning the link it must indicate to libata that recovery ends by returning -ENODEV from ->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset().

2013-07-23[SCSI] isci: Fix a race condition in the SSP task management pathJeff Skirvin
This commit fixes a race condition in the isci driver abort task and SSP device task management path. The race is caused when an I/O termination in the SCU hardware is necessary because of an SSP target timeout condition, and the check of the I/O end state races against the HW-termination-driven end state. The failure of the race meant that no TMF was sent to the device to clean-up the pending I/O.

2013-05-10[SCSI] sas: unify the pointlessly separated enums sas_dev_type and ↵James Bottomley
sas_device_type These enums have been separate since the dawn of SAS, mainly because the latter is a procotol only enum and the former includes additional state for libsas. The dichotomy causes endless confusion about which one you should use where and leads to pointless warnings like this: drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c: In function 'mvs_update_phyinfo': drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c:1162:34: warning: comparison between 'enum sas_device_type' and 'enum sas_dev_type' [-Wenum-compare] Fix by eliminating one of them.

2012-05-17isci: Check IDEV_GONE before performing abort path operations.Jeff Skirvin
In the link fail path, set IDEV_GONE for every device on the domain when the last link in the port fails. In the abort path functions like isci_reset_device, make sure that there has not already been a detected domain failure with the device by checking IDEV_GONE, before performing any kind of hard reset, SMP phy control, or TMF operation. The check for IDEV_GONE makes sure that the device in the abort path really has control of the port with which it is associated. This prevents starting hard resets at incorrect times and scheduling unnecessary LUN resets for SATA devices.

2012-02-29[SCSI] isci: remove IDEV_EH hack to disable "discovery-time" ata resetsDan Williams
Prior to commit 61aaff49 "isci: filter broadcast change notifications during SMP phy resets" we borrowed the MVS_DEV_EH approach from the mvsas driver for preventing ->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset() events during ata discovery. This hack was protecting against the old ->phy_reset() in ata_bus_probe(), but since the conversion to the new error handling this hack is preventing resets from reaching ata devices.

2012-02-29[SCSI] isci: remove bus and reset handlersDan Williams
Remove ->eh_device_reset_handler() and ->eh_bus_reset_handler() for the same reason they are not implemented for libata hosts, they cannot be implemented reliably with ata-eh. ATA error recovery wants to divert all resets to the eh thread and wait for completion, these handlers may be invoked from a non-blocking ioctl. The other path they are called from is libsas-eh, and if we escalate past I_T_nexus reset we have larger problems i.e. tear down all in-flight commands in the domain potentially without notification to the lldd if it has chosen not to implement ->lldd_clear_nexus_port() / ->lldd_clear_nexus_ha().

2012-02-29[SCSI] isci: stop interpreting ->lldd_lu_reset() as an ata soft-resetDan Williams
Driving resets from libsas-eh is pre-mature as libata will make a decision about performing a softreset. Currently libata determines whether to perform a softreset based on ata_eh_followup_srst_needed(), and none of those conditions apply to isci.

2012-02-29[SCSI] isci: fix interpretation of "hard" resetDan Williams
A hard reset to isci in the direct-attached case is one where the driver internally manages debouncing the link. In the sas-expander-attached case a hard reset is one that clears affiliations. The driver should not be prematurely dropping affiliations at run time, that decision (to force expander hard resets to ata devices) is left to userspace to manage. So, arrange for I_T_nexus resets to be sas-link-resets in the expander-attached case and isci-hard-resets in the direct-attached case.

2012-02-29[SCSI] libsas: fix sas_find_local_phy(), take phy referencesDan Williams
In the direct-attached case this routine returns the phy on which this device was first discovered. Which is broken if we want to support wide-targets, as this phy reference can become stale even though the port is still active. In the expander-attached case this routine tries to lookup the phy by scanning the attached sas addresses of the parent expander, and BUG_ONs if it can't find it. However since eh and the libsas workqueue run independently we can still be attempting device recovery via eh after libsas has recorded the device as detached. This is even easier to hit now that eh is blocked while device domain rediscovery takes place, and that libata is fed more timed out commands increasing the chances that it will try to recover the ata device. Arrange for dev->phy to always point to a last known good phy, it may be stale after the port is torn down, but it will catch up for wide port reconfigurations, and never be NULL.

2012-02-19[SCSI] libsas: remove ata_port.lock management duties from llddsDan Williams
Each libsas driver (mvsas, pm8001, and isci) has invented a different method for managing the ap->lock. The lock is held by the ata ->queuecommand() path. mvsas drops it prior to acquiring any internal locks which allows it to hold its internal lock across calls to task->task_done(). This capability is important as it is the only way the driver can flush task->task_done() instances to guarantee that it no longer has any in-flight references to a domain_device at ->lldd_dev_gone() time.

2011-10-31[SCSI] isci: revert bcn filteringDan Williams
The initial bcn filtering implementation was validated on a kernel baseline that predated the switch to new libata error handling. Also, prior to that conversion we borrowed the mvsas MVS_DEV_EH approach to prevent the unwanted extra ap->ops->phy_reset(ap) that occurred in the ata_bus_probe() path. After the conversion to new libata eh resets at discovery are more frequent and get filtered prematurely by IDEV_EH. The result is that our bcn filtering has been blocked from running and at discovery and it appears to stall discovery completion to the point of triggering hung task timeouts. So, revert the implementation for now. When it returns it will go into libsas proper. The domain rediscovery that takes place due to ->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset() events should now be properly waited for by the ata_port_wait_eh() call in ata_port_probe(). So the hard coded delay in the isci ->lldd_I_T_nexus_reset() and other libsas drivers should help debounce the libsas thread from seeing temporary device removals.

The tci_pool tracks our outstanding command slots which are also the 'index' portion of our tags. Grabbing the tag early in ->lldd_execute_task let's us drop the isci_host_can_queue() and ->was_tag_assigned_by_user infrastructure. ->was_tag_assigned_by_user required the task context to be duplicated in request-local buffer. With the tci established early we can build the task_context directly into its final location and skip a memcpy. With the task context buffer at a known address at request construction we have the opportunity/obligation to also fix sgl handling. This rework feels like it belongs in another patch but the sgl handling and task_context are too intertwined. 1/ fix the 'ab' pair embedded in the task context to point to the 'cd' pair in the task context (previously we were prematurely linking to the staging buffer). 2/ fix the broken iteration of pio sgls that assumes all sgls are relative to the request, and does a dangerous looking reverse lookup of physical address to virtual address.

2011-07-03isci: atomic device lookup and reference countingDan Williams
We have unsafe references to remote devices that are notified to disappear at lldd_dev_gone. In order to clean this up we need a single canonical source for device lookups and stable references once a lookup succeeds. Towards that end guarantee that domain_device.lldd_dev is NULL as soon as we start the process of stopping a device. Any code path that wants to safely lookup a remote device must do so through task->dev->lldd_dev (isci_lookup_device()). For in-flight references outside of scic_lock we need reference counting to ensure that the device is not recycled before we are done with it. Simplify device back references to just scic_sds_request.target_device which is now the only permissible internal reference that is maintained relative to the reference count. There were two occasions where we wanted new i/o's to be treated as SAS_TASK_UNDELIVERED but where the domain_dev->lldd_dev link is still intact. Introduce a 'gone' flag to prevent i/o while waiting for libsas to take action on the port down event. One 'core' leftover is that we currently call scic_remote_device_destruct() from isci_remote_device_deconstruct() which is called when the 'core' says the device is stopped. It would be more natural for the final put to trigger isci_remote_device_deconstruct() but this implementation is deferred as it requires other changes.
