      scsi: ses: don't get power status of SES device slot on probe · 75106523
      Mauricio Faria de Oliveira authored 
      The commit 08024885 ("ses: Add power_status to SES device slot")
introduced the 'power_status' attribute to enclosure components and
the associated callbacks.

There are 2 callbacks available to get the power status of a device:
1) ses_get_power_status() for 'struct enclosure_component_callbacks'
2) get_component_power_status() for the sysfs device attribute
(these are available for kernel-space and user-space, respectively.)

However, despite both methods being available to get power status
on demand, that commit also introduced a call to get power status
in ses_enclosure_data_process().

This dramatically increased the total probe time for SCSI devices
on larger configurations, because ses_enclosure_data_process() is
called several times during the SCSI devices probe and loops over
the component devices (but that is another problem, another patch).

That results in a tremendous continuous hammering of SCSI Receive
Diagnostics commands to the enclosure-services device, which does
delay the total probe time for the SCSI devices __significantly__:

  Originally, ~34 minutes on a system attached to ~170 disks:

    [ 9214.490703] mpt3sas version 13.100.00.00 loaded
    ...
    [11256.580231] scsi 17:0:177:0: qdepth(16), tagged(1), simple(0),
                   ordered(0), scsi_level(6), cmd_que(1)

  With this patch, it decreased to ~2.5 minutes -- a 13.6x faster

    [ 1002.992533] mpt3sas version 13.100.00.00 loaded
    ...
    [ 1151.978831] scsi 11:0:177:0: qdepth(16), tagged(1), simple(0),
                   ordered(0), scsi_level(6), cmd_que(1)

Back to the commit discussion.. on the ses_get_power_status() call
introduced in ses_enclosure_data_process(): impact of removing it.

That may possibly be in place to initialize the power status value
on device probe.  However, those 2 functions available to retrieve
that value _do_ automatically refresh/update it.  So the potential
benefit would be a direct access of the 'power_status' field which
does not use the callbacks...

But the only reader of 'struct enclosure_component::power_status'
is the get_component_power_status() callback for sysfs attribute,
and it _does_ check for and call the .get_power_status callback,
(which indeed is defined and implemented by that commit), so the
power status value is, again, automatically updated.

So, the remaining potential for a direct/non-callback access to
the power_status attribute would be out-of-tree modules -- well,
for those, if they are for whatever reason interested in values
that are set during device probe and not up-to-date by the time
they need it.. well, that would be curious.

Well, to handle that more properly, set the initial power state
value to '-1' (i.e., uninitialized) instead of '1' (power 'on'),
and check for it in that callback which may do an direct access
to the field value _if_ a callback function is not defined.

      Now that all scsi_device_get() callers check the return value of this
function, make checking that return value mandatory.

      scsi: advansys: fix uninitialized data access · 44a5b977
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      gcc-7.0.1 now warns about a previously unnoticed access of uninitialized
struct members:

drivers/scsi/advansys.c: In function 'AscMsgOutSDTR':
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:3860:26: error: '*((void *)&sdtr_buf+5)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
         ((ushort)s_buffer[i + 1] << 8) | s_buffer[i]);
                          ^
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:3860:26: error: '*((void *)&sdtr_buf+7)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:3860:26: error: '*((void *)&sdtr_buf+5)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/scsi/advansys.c:3860:26: error: '*((void *)&sdtr_buf+7)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

The code has existed in this exact form at least since v2.6.12, and the
warning seems correct. This uses named initializers to ensure we
initialize all members of the structure.
