* Merge branch 'post-2.6.15' of git://brick.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-blockLinus Torvalds2006-01-062-2/+0
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | Manual fixup for merge with Jens' "Suspend support for libata", commit ID 9b847548663ef1039dd49f0eb4463d001e596bc3. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
| * [BLOCK] update SCSI to use new blk_ordered for barriersTejun Heo2006-01-062-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All ordered request related stuff delegated to HLD. Midlayer now doens't deal with ordered setting or prepare_flush callback. sd.c updated to deal with blk_queue_ordered setting. Currently, ordered tag isn't used as SCSI midlayer cannot guarantee request ordering. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* | [PATCH] Suspend support for libataJens Axboe2006-01-061-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds suspend patch to libata, and ata_piix in particular. For most low level drivers, they should just need to add the 4 hooks to work. As I can only test ata_piix, I didn't enable it for more though. Suspend support is the single most important feature on a notebook, and most new notebooks have sata drives. It's quite embarrassing that we _still_ do not support this. Right now, it's perfectly possible to suspend the drive in mid-transfer.

Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c. I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so I removed the warning on the function header. I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel.

* | | [SCSI] fix for fc transport recursion problem.James.Smart@Emulex.Com2005-12-161-0/+11
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete" workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of rports that were on the link. The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(), which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item, which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large. This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

| * [SCSI] update fc_transport for removal of block/unblock functionsJames.Smart@Emulex.Com2005-10-291-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport), or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver forgets). It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly. When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded). Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport handle the block/unblock. So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the fc_remote_port_add/delete functions. Updates for the lpfc driver are included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does not use the block/unblock functions. One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical disappearance. However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched. To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready() was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes are occuring.

This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same. There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same for all PHYs in a port. This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional managment infrastructure. I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are of course very welcome.
