When SRR LS_ACC is dropped, the driver was not issuing ABTS for SRR when it times out. Since the target received SRR, it was able to send the XFER_RDY and the the original IO request completed successfully. In this condition ABTS was not sent during bnx2fc_srr_compl(). Fix this by first checking for ELS timeout and issue ABTS before checking if original IO request is complete.

If the IO and the corresponding ABTS are not responded by a target, cleanup the IO and issue explicit logout when ulp timer expires while waiting for ABTS to complete. Wait for the session to be ready before returning to the SCSI layer. If the session is not ready let the SCSI-ml escalate the error recovery.

The call to complete() in st_scsi_execute_end() wakes up sleeping thread in write_behind_check(), which frees the st_request, thus invalidating the pointer to the associated bio structure, which is then passed to the blk_rq_unmap_user(). Fix by storing pointer to bio structure into temporary local variable. This bug is present since at least linux-2.6.32.

Make sure that SCSI device removal via scsi_remove_host() does finish all pending SCSI commands. Currently that's not the case and hence removal of a SCSI host during I/O can cause a deadlock. See also "blkdev_issue_discard() hangs forever if underlying storage device is removed" (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40472). See also http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/27/6.

The driver was setting the action to MPI2_CONFIG_ACTION_PAGE_READ_CURRENT, which only returns active volumes. In order to get info on inactive volumes, the driver needs to change the action to MPI2_RAID_PGAD_FORM_GET_NEXT_CONFIGNUM, and traverse each config till the iocstatus is MPI2_IOCSTATUS_CONFIG_INVALID_PAGE returned. Added a change in the driver to remove the instance of sas_device object when the driver returns "1" from the slave_configure callback. Also fixed code to report the hot spares to the operating system with a /dev/sg assigned.

[SCSI] mpt2sas: Fix for issue Port Reset taking long time(around 5 mins) to complete while issued during creating a volume This is due to the slave_configuration routine is getting called when host reset is active, and config page reads are failing, and driver attempts to added device with stale config data. To fix the issue, added error checking in slave_configure to check for configuration pages failing, and return "1" so the device is not configured. The config pages are failing if raid volume is configured while issuing a host reset, thus driver is reading stale data and proceeding to attempt to add. The fix is to return error so the volume is not configured. Signed-off-by: Nagalakshmi Nandigama <nagalakshmi.nandigama@lsi.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

This is due to driver reporting a device missing to the OS then the OS sending a SYNC_CACHE request to driver while the IO queues are locked due to host reset. To fix the issue, the driver will be waking up the port enable context immediately when the driver receives the reply message, instead of waiting on the hot plug worker threads.

Fix for dead lock occurring between host_lock and sas_device_lock. The deadlock is between two spin locks, between the shost->host_lock and driver ioc->sas_device_lock. The fix is to rearrange the code in the FW/Driver device removal handshake so the ioc->sas_device_lock is not occurring when the shost->host_lock is taken.

[SCSI] mpt2sas: Fix drives not getting properly deleted if sas cable is removed while host reset is active The fix is in the driver-firmware handshake device removal code. We need to read the controller ioc_state to see if controller is OPERATIONAL prior to sending target reset and OP_REMOVE. Previously it was checking the flag ioc->shost_recovery flag, which is always set when host reset is active, thus preventing drives from getting properly deleted.

Fix for issue : While discovery is in progress, hot unplug and hot plug of enclosure connected to the controller card is causing system to hang. When a device is in the process of being detected at driver load time then if it is removed, the device that is no longer present will not be added to the list. So the code in _scsih_probe_sas() is rearranged as such so the devices that failed to be detected are not added to the list.

New feature Fast Load Support. (1)Asynchronous SCSI scanning: This will allow the drivers to scan for devices in parallel while other device drivers are loading at the same time. This will improve the amount of time it takes for the OS to load. (2) Reporting Devices while port enable is active: This feature will allow devices to be reported to OS immediately while port enable is active. The previous implementation waits for port enable to complete, and then report devices. This feature is only enabled on IT firmware configurations when there are no boot device configured in BIOS Configuration Utility, else the driver will wait till port enable completes reporting devices. For IR firmware, this feature is turned off. This feature is to address large SAS topologies (>100 drives) when the boot OS is using onboard SATA device, in other words, the boot devices is not connected to our controller. (3) Scanning for devices after diagnostic reset completes: A new routine _scsih_scan_start is added. This will scan the expander pages, IR pages, and sas device pages, then reporting new devices to SCSI Mid layer. It seems the driver is not supporting adding devices while diagnostic reset is active. Apparently this is due to the sanity checks on ioc->shost_recovery flag throughout the context of kernel work thread FIFO, and the mpt2sas_fw_work.

In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a read lease. In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount. There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount increment when setlease could add a new read lease. This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which shouldn't happen. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though they have no need for synchronization at all. Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger systems. This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model: First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today. This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable. The patch does not change that. Let's look at the different seek variants: SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking. If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses. For 32bit the non atomic update races against read() stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen against write() now. The read() race was deemed acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's ok for read it's ok for write too. => Don't need a lock. SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the 32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we can just use that instead. Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore, however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same as SEEK_SET. => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read() SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window on the same file. One could argue that any application doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken. But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't synchronize between processes. => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock. This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek. I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.

This large, but largely mechanic, patch moves all fields in struct dio that are only used in the submission path into a separate on stack data structure. This has the advantage that the memory is very likely cache hot, which is not guaranteed for memory fresh out of kmalloc. This also gives gcc more optimization potential because it can easier determine that there are no external aliases for these variables. The sdio initialization is a initialization now instead of memset. This allows gcc to break sdio into individual fields and optimize away unnecessary zeroing (after all the functions are inlined) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
