2014-04-21[SCSI] Fix command result state propagationAlan Stern
We're seeing a case where the contents of scmd->result isn't being reset after a SCSI command encounters an error, is resubmitted, times out and then gets handled. The error handler acts on the stale result of the previous error instead of the timeout. Fix this by properly zeroing the scmd->status before the command is resubmitted.

2014-04-21[SCSI] Fix spurious request sense in error handlingJames Bottomley
We unconditionally execute scsi_eh_get_sense() to make sure all failed commands that should have sense attached, do. However, the routine forgets that some commands, because of the way they fail, will not have any sense code ... we should not bother them with a REQUEST_SENSE command. Fix this by testing to see if we actually got a CHECK_CONDITION return and skip asking for sense if we don't.

2013-12-19[SCSI] Set the minimum valid value of 'eh_deadline' as 0Ren Mingxin
The former minimum valid value of 'eh_deadline' is 1s, which means the earliest occasion to shorten EH is 1 second later since a command is failed or timed out. But if we want to skip EH steps ASAP, we have to wait until the first EH step is finished. If the duration of the first EH step is long, this waiting time is excruciating. So, it is necessary to accept 0 as the minimum valid value for 'eh_deadline'. According to my test, with Hannes' patchset 'New EH command timeout handler' as well, the minimum IO time is improved from 73s (eh_deadline = 1) to 43s(eh_deadline = 0) when commands are timed out by disabling RSCN and target port.

2013-12-19[SCSI] improved eh timeout handlerHannes Reinecke
When a command runs into a timeout we need to send an 'ABORT TASK' TMF. This is typically done by the 'eh_abort_handler' LLDD callback. Conceptually, however, this function is a normal SCSI command, so there is no need to enter the error handler. This patch implements a new scsi_abort_command() function which invokes an asynchronous function scsi_eh_abort_handler() to abort the commands via the usual 'eh_abort_handler'. If abort succeeds the command is either retried or terminated, depending on the number of allowed retries. However, 'eh_eflags' records the abort, so if the retry would fail again the command is pushed onto the error handler without trying to abort it (again); it'll be cleared up from SCSI EH.

2013-12-19[SCSI] Fix erratic device offline during EHJames Bottomley
Commit 18a4d0a22ed6c54b67af7718c305cd010f09ddf8 (Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands) was introduced to offline any device which cannot process medium access commands. However, commit 3eef6257de48ff84a5d98ca533685df8a3beaeb8 (Reduce error recovery time by reducing use of TURs) reduced the number of TURs by sending it only on the first failing command, which might or might not be a medium access command. So in combination this results in an erratic device offlining during EH; if the command where the TUR was sent upon happens to be a medium access command the device will be set offline, if not everything proceeds as normal. This patch moves the check to the final test, eliminating this problem. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

2013-10-25[SCSI] Add 'eh_deadline' to limit SCSI EH runtimeHannes Reinecke
This patchs adds an 'eh_deadline' sysfs attribute to the scsi host which limits the overall runtime of the SCSI EH. The 'eh_deadline' value is stored in the now obsolete field 'resetting'. When a command is failed the start time of the EH is stored in 'last_reset'. If the overall runtime of the SCSI EH is longer than last_reset + eh_deadline, the EH is short-circuited and falls through to issue a host reset only.

2012-08-22[SCSI] Fix 'Device not ready' issue on mpt2sasJames Bottomley
This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem. SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2) if the device is in the stopped state as the result of processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED; mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive. This bit us badly because commit 85ef06d1d252f6a2e73b678591ab71caad4667bb Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2) Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command) resulting in lots of failed commands. The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we have to work around it. The fix for this is twofold: 1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been suspended 2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

2012-07-20[SCSI] fix eh wakeup (scsi_schedule_eh vs scsi_restart_operations)Dan Williams
Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe. A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations() in the case when scsi_restart_operations() issues i/o to other devices in the sas domain. When this happens the host state transitions from SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and ->host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though ->host_eh_scheduled is active. Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through eh. Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task timeouts.

2012-02-19[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commandsMartin K. Petersen
We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.) but any command accessing the storage medium will time out. The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk driver. If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can be tweaked in sysfs. Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be easily reproduced.

2011-05-24[SCSI] Reduce error recovery time by reducing use of TURsDavid Jeffery
In error recovery, most scsi error recovery stages will send a TUR command for every bad command when a driver's error handler reports success. When several bad commands to the same device, this results in a device being probed multiple times. This becomes very problematic if the device or connection is in a state where the device still doesn't respond to commands even after a recovery function returns success. The error handler must wait for the test commands to time out. The time waiting for the redundant commands can drastically lengthen error recovery. This patch alters the scsi mid-layer's error routines to send test commands once per device instead of once per bad command. This can drastically lower error recovery time.

Lots of sequential derefs of the same pointers is not easy on the eye. - theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory this could also be a micro speed optimization. - reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400) - removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.

'Non-retryable' in general refers to a target failure, so this error will always be generated regardless of the I_T_L nexus it was send on.

2010-12-09[SCSI] Eliminate error handler overload of the SCSI serial numberJames Bottomley
The error handler is using the test cmd->serial_number == 0 in the abort routines to signal that the command to be aborted has already completed normally. This design was to close a race window in the original error handler where a command could go through the normal completion routines after it timed out but before error handling was started. Mike Anderson pointed out that when we converted our timeout and softirq completions, we picked up atomicity here because the block layer now mediates this with the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag and guarantees that *either* the command times out or our done routine is called, but ensures we can't get both occurring. That makes the serial number zero check redundant and it can be removed. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>

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.

Unfortuantely, it also introduced a problem whereby for commands other than test unit ready, the eh dispatcher thinks they succeeded when reservation conflict is returned, whereas in reality they failed. Fix this by only returning success for the test unit ready case. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
2010-08-11[SCSI] Return NEEDS_RETRY for eh commands with status BUSYHannes Reinecke
When the transport is busy and we're sending an EH command drivers occasionally return 'BUSY'. As this in most cases is the TUR command sent as part of the error recovery this is a sure way to make the error recovery escalate. Returning 'NEEDS_RETRY' here will just retry the TUR command and eventually abort the original command, thus making error handling far smoother.

2010-08-07scsi: use REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requestFUJITA Tomonori
scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want). We need a workaround such as the commit 77a4229719e511a0d38d9c355317ae1469adeb54 to retry BLOCK_PC flush requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally. This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC. scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the callers don't. This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(), REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before. Note that basically, this reverts the commit 77a4229719e511a0d38d9c355317ae1469adeb54 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests.

2010-07-28[SCSI] implement runtime Power ManagementAlan Stern
This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer. Only the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them. Except for sg -- the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended while its sg device file is open. The implementation is simplistic. In general, hosts and targets are automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything. (A host's runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter hardware at the appropriate times.) There are comments indicating where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added. LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume). Somewhat arbitrarily, the implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN. This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the same device file is opened and closed several times in quick succession. The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's PM-usage count when it is registered. If a high-level driver does nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend because of the elevated usage count. If a high-level driver wants to use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in its remove routine to restore the original count. Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed or removed, or while the error handler is running. In fact, a fairly large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things aren't suspended at such times.

2010-07-27[SCSI] Log msg when getting Unit AttentionMike Christie
If the user accidentally changes LUN mappings or it occurs due to a bug, then it can cause data corruption that can take months and months to track down. This patch adds a log message when getting REPORT_LUNS_DATA_CHANGED and it adds a generic message for other Unit Attentions with asc == 0x3f. We are working on adding support for handling of these errors, but I think until then we should at least log a message so tracking down problems as a result of one of these changes is a little easier.

2010-05-05[SCSI] Retry commands with UNIT_ATTENTION sense codes to fix ext3/ext4 I/O errorJames Bottomley
There's nastyness in the way we currently handle barriers (and discards): They're effectively filesystem commands, but they get processed as BLOCK_PC commands. Unfortunately BLOCK_PC commands are taken by SCSI to be SG_IO commands and the issuer expects to see and handle any returned errors, however trivial. This leads to a huge problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error to the filesystem. The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER. A correct fix would involve a rework of the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a quick fix.

2010-04-11[SCSI] Allow FC LLD to fast-fail scsi eh by introducing new eh returnChristof Schmitt
If the scsi eh is running and then a FC LLD calls fc_remote_port_delete, the SCSI commands sent from the eh will fail. To prevent this, a FC LLD can call fc_block_scsi_eh from the eh callback, blocking the eh thread until the dev_loss_tmo fires or the remote port is available again. If (e.g. for a multipathing setup) the dev_loss_tmo is set to a very large value, thus preventing the scsi device removal , the scsi eh can block for a long time. For multipathing, the fast_io_fail_tmo is then set to a low value to detect path problems sooner. This patch introduces a new return code FAST_IO_FAIL. The function fc_block_scsi_eh now returns FAST_IO_FAIL when the fast_io_fail_tmo fires. This indicates that the LLD terminated all pending I/O requests and there are no more pending SCSI commands for the scsi eh to wait for. This return code can be passed back to the scsi eh to stop the escalation and finish the recovery process for this device.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
