The atari_NCR5380.c and NCR5380.c core drivers differ in their handling of target disconnection. This is partly because atari_NCR5380.c had all of the polling and sleeping removed to become entirely interrupt-driven, and it is partly because of damage done to NCR5380.c after atari_NCR5380.c was forked. See commit 37cd23b4 ("Linux 2.1.105") in history/history.git. The polling changes that were made in v2.1.105 are questionable at best: if REQ is not already asserted when NCR5380_transfer_pio() is invoked, and if the expected phase is DATA IN or DATA OUT, the function will schedule main() to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and then return. The problems here are the expected REQ timing and the sleep interval*. Avoid this issue by using NCR5380_poll_politely() instead of scheduling main(). The atari_NCR5380.c core driver requires the use of the chip interrupt and always permits target disconnection. It sets the cmd->device->disconnect flag when a device disconnects, but never tests this flag. The NCR5380.c core driver permits disconnection only when instance->irq != NO_IRQ. It sets the cmd->device->disconnect flag when a device disconnects and it tests this flag in a couple of places: 1. During NCR5380_information_transfer(), following COMMAND OUT phase, if !cmd->device->disconnect, the initiator will take a guess as to whether or not the target will then choose to go to MESSAGE IN phase and disconnect. If the driver guesses "yes", it will schedule main() to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and then return there. Unfortunately the driver may guess "yes" even after it has denied the target the disconnection privilege. When the target does not disconnect, the sleep can be beneficial, assuming the sleep interval is appropriate (mostly it is not*). And even if the driver guesses "yes" correctly, and the target would then disconnect, the driver still has to go through the MESSAGE IN phase in order to get to BUS FREE phase. The main loop can do nothing useful until BUS FREE, and sleeping just delays the phase transition. 2. If !cmd->device->disconnect and REQ is not already asserted when NCR5380_information_transfer() is invoked, the function polls for REQ for USLEEP_POLL jiffies. If REQ is not asserted, it then schedules main() to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and returns. The idea is apparently to yeild the CPU while waiting for REQ. This is conditional upon !cmd->device->disconnect, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason for that. For example, the flag may be unset because disconnection privilege was denied because the driver has no IRQ. Or the flag may be unset because the device has never needed to disconnect before. Or if the flag is set, disconnection may have no relevance to the present bus phase. Another deficiency of the existing algorithm is as follows. When the driver has no IRQ, it prevents disconnection, and generally polls and sleeps more than it would normally. Now, if the driver is going to poll anyway, why not allow the target to disconnect? That way the driver can do something useful with the bus instead of polling unproductively! Avoid this pointless latency, complexity and guesswork by using NCR5380_poll_politely() instead of scheduling main(). * For g_NCR5380, the time intervals for USLEEP_SLEEP and USLEEP_POLL are 200 ms and 10 ms, respectively. They are 20 ms and 200 ms respectively for the other NCR5380 drivers. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this discrepancy. The timing seems to have no relation to the type of adapter. Bizarrely, the timing in g_NCR5380 seems to relate only to one particular type of target device. This patch attempts to solve the problem for all NCR5380 drivers and all target devices.

Follow the example of the atari_NCR5380.c core driver and adopt the NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() hook. Implement NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() for dtc.c and g_NCR5380.c to take care of the limitations of these cards. Keep the default for drivers using PSEUDO_DMA. Eliminate the unused macro LIMIT_TRANSFERSIZE. Signed-off-by:

If NCR5380_select() returns -1, it means arbitration was lost or selection failed and should be retried. If the main loop simply terminates when there are still commands on the issue queue, they will remain queued until they expire. Fix this by clearing the 'done' flag after selection failure or lost arbitration. The "else break" clause in NCR5380_main() that gets removed here appears to be a vestige of a long-gone loop that iterated over host instances. See commit 491447e1 ("[PATCH] next NCR5380 updates") in history/history.git. Signed-off-by:

Linux v2.1.105 changed the algorithm for polling for the BSY signal in NCR5380_select() and NCR5380_main(). Presently, this code has a bug. Back then, NCR5380_set_timer(hostdata, 1) meant reschedule main() after sleeping for 10 ms. Repeated 25 times this provided the recommended 250 ms selection time-out delay. This got broken when HZ became configurable. We could fix this but there's no need to reschedule the main loop. This BSY polling presently happens when the NCR5380_main() work queue item calls NCR5380_select(), which in turn schedules NCR5380_main(), which calls NCR5380_select() again, and so on. This algorithm is a deviation from the simpler one in atari_NCR5380.c. The extra complexity and state is pointless. There's no reason to stop selection half-way and return to to the main loop when the main loop can do nothing useful until selection completes. So just poll for BSY. We can sleep while polling now that we have a suitable workqueue. Signed-off-by:

Linux 2.1.105 introduced the USLEEP_WAITLONG delay, apparently "needed for Mustek scanners". It is intended to stall the issue queue for 5 seconds. There are a number of problems with this. 1. Only g_NCR5380 enables the delay, which implies that the other five drivers using the NCR5380.c core driver remain incompatible with Mustek scanners. 2. The delay is not implemented by atari_NCR5380.c, which is problematic for re-unifying the two core driver forks. 3. The delay is implemented using NCR5380_set_timer() which makes it unreliable. A new command queued by the mid-layer cancels the delay. 4. The delay is applied indiscriminately in several situations in which NCR5380_select() returns -1. These are-- reselection by the target, failure of the target to assert BSY, and failure of the target to assert REQ. It's clear from the comments that USLEEP_WAITLONG is not relevant to the reselection case. And reportedly, these scanners do not disconnect. 5. atari_NCR5380.c was forked before Linux 2.1.105, so it was spared some of the damage done to NCR5380.c. In this case, the atari_NCR5380.c core driver was more standard-compliant and may not have needed any workaround like the USLEEP_WAITLONG kludge. The compliance issue was addressed in the previous patch. If these scanners still don't work, we need a better solution. Retrying selection until EH aborts a command offers equivalent robustness. Bugs in the existing driver prevent EH working correctly but this is addressed in a subsequent patch. Remove USLEEP_WAITLONG. Signed-off-by:

If a target disappears from the SCSI bus, NCR5380_select() may subsequently fail with a time-out. In this situation, scsi_done is called and NCR5380_select() returns 0. Both hostdata->connected and hostdata->selecting are NULL and the main loop should proceed with the next command in the issue queue. Clarify this logic. Signed-off-by:

Remove the restart_select and targets_present variables introduced in Linux v1.1.38. The former was used only for a questionable debug printk and the latter "so we can call a select failure a retryable condition". Well, retrying select failure in general is a different problem to a target that doesn't assert BSY. We need to handle these two cases differently; the latter case can be left to the SCSI ML.

The atari_NCR5380.c core driver now takes care of bus reset upon driver initialization if required (same as NCR5380.c). Move the Toshiba CD-ROM support into the core driver, enabled with a host flag, so that all NCR5380 drivers can make use of it. Drop the RESET_BOOT macros and the ATARI_SCSI_RESET_BOOT and ATARI_SCSI_TOSHIBA_DELAY Kconfig symbols, which are now redundant. Remove the atari_scsi_reset_boot(), mac_scsi_reset_boot() and sun3_scsi_reset_boot() routines. None of this duplicated code is needed now that all drivers can use NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus(). This brings atari_scsi, mac_scsi and sun3_scsi into line with all of the other NCR5380 drivers. The bus reset may raise an interrupt. That would be new behaviour for atari_scsi only when CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI_RESET_BOOT=n. The ST DMA interrupt is not assigned to atari_scsi at this stage, so CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI_RESET_BOOT=y may well be problematic already. Regardless, do_reset() now raises and clears the interrupt within local_irq_save/restore which should avoid problems. Signed-off-by:

Merge the bus reset code from NCR5380.c into atari_NCR5380.c. This allows for removal of a lot of duplicated code conditional on the RESET_BOOT macro (in the next patch). The atari_NCR5380.c fork lacks the do_reset() and NCR5380_poll_politely() routines from NCR5380.c, so introduce them. They are indispensible. Keep the two implementations in sync. Signed-off-by:

This patch splits the NCR5380_init() function into two parts, similar to the scheme used with atari_NCR5380.c. This avoids two problems. Firstly, NCR5380_init() may perform a bus reset, which would cause the chip to assert IRQ. The chip is unable to mask its bus reset interrupt. Drivers can't call request_irq() before calling NCR5380_init(), because initialization must happen before the interrupt handler executes. If driver initialization causes an interrupt it may be problematic on some platforms. To avoid that, first move the bus reset code into NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus(). Secondly, NCR5380_init() contains some board-specific interrupt setup code for the NCR53C400 that does not belong in the core driver. In moving this code, better not re-order interrupt initialization and bus reset. Again, the solution is to move the bus reset code into NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus(). Signed-off-by:

The NCR5380_local_declare and NCR5380_setup macros exist to define and initialize a particular local variable, to provide the address of the chip registers needed for the driver's implementation of its NCR5380_read/write register access macros. In cumana_1 and macscsi, these macros generate pointless code like this, struct Scsi_Host *_instance; _instance = instance; In pas16, the use of NCR5380_read/write in pas16_hw_detect() requires that the io_port local variable has been defined and initialized, but the NCR5380_local_declare and NCR5380_setup macros can't be used for that purpose because the Scsi_Host struct has not yet been instantiated. Moreover, these macros were removed from atari_NCR5380.c long ago and now they constitute yet another discrepancy between the two core driver forks. Remove these "optimizations". Signed-off-by:

This drop enables a future card with a device id of 0x0600 to be recognized by the cxlflash driver. As per the design, the Accelerator Function Unit (AFU) for this new IBM CXL Flash Adapter retains the same host interface as the previous generation. For the early prototypes of the new card, the driver with this change behaves exactly as the driver prior to this behaved with the earlier generation card. Therefore, no card specific programming has been added. These card specific changes can be staged in later if needed. Signed-off-by:

If an async error interrupt is generated, and the error requires the FC link to be reset, it cannot be performed in the interrupt context. So a work element is scheduled to complete the link reset in a process context. If either an EEH event or an escalation occurs in between when the interrupt is generated and the scheduled work is started, the MMIO space may no longer be available. This will cause an oops in the worker thread.

After a few iterations of resetting the card, either during EEH recovery, or a host_reset the following is seen in the logs. cxlflash 0008:00: cxlflash_queuecommand: could not get a free command At every reset of the card, the commands that are outstanding are being leaked. No effort is being made to reap these commands. A few more resets later, the above error message floods the logs and the card is rendered totally unusable as no free commands are available. Iterated through the 'cmd' queue and printed out the 'free' counter and found that on each reset certain commands were in-use and stayed in-use through subsequent resets. To resolve this issue, when the card is reset, reap all the commands that are active/outstanding. Signed-off-by:

Applications which use virtual LUN's that are backed by a physical LUN over both adapter ports may experience an I/O failure in the event of a link loss (e.g. cable pull). Virtual LUNs may be accessed through one or both ports of the adapter. This access is encoded in the translation entries that comprise the virtual LUN and used by the AFU for load-balancing I/O and handling failover scenarios. In a link loss scenario, even though the AFU is able to maintain connectivity to the LUN, it is up to the application to retry the failed I/O. When applications are unaware of the virtual LUN's underlying topology, they are unable to make a sound decision of when to retry an I/O and therefore are forced to make their reaction to a failed I/O absolute. The result is either a failure to retry I/O or increased latency for scenarios where a retry is pointless. To remedy this scenario, provide feedback back to the application on virtual LUN creation as to which ports the LUN may be accessed. LUN's spanning both ports are candidates for a retry in a presence of an I/O failure. Signed-off-by:

On the interrupt path, we repeatedly establish the pointer to the storvsc_device. While the compiler does inline get_in_stor_device() (and other static functions) in the call chain in the interrupt path, the compiler is repeatedly inlining the call to get_in_stor_device() each time it is invoked. The return value of get_in_stor_device() can be cached in the interrupt path since there is higher level serialization in place to ensure correct handling when the module unload races with the processing of an incoming message from the host. Optimize this code path by caching the pointer to storvsc_device and passing it as an argument. Signed-off-by:
