* [SCSI] st: Remove bogus memsetKai Makisara2008-07-261-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | Mike Christie noticed a bogus memset. It can be removed as dead code since the number of bytes in the driver buffer in fixed block mode is always a multiple of the tape block size.

| * SCSI: fix race in device_createGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-05-201-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all sorts of bad things to happen. This patch fixes the problem by using the new function, device_create_drvdata(). It fixes the problem in all of the scsi drivers that need it.

If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every block speeds up some real applications considerably.

* bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()FUJITA Tomonori2007-07-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

* [SCSI] modalias for scsi devicesMichael Tokarev2007-04-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc), based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers supports. The modalias format is like this: scsi:type-0x04 (for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now). Several comments. o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4). Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other, I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing them all to decimal. o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus. It might be a good idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there. o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes. With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias). It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either. It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification strings, so that modalias becomes something like scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device type. But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large, and they do contain spaces and whatnot. So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.

According to the SCSI standards, the sense code is NO SENSE or RECOVERED ERROR in case writing filemark(s) succeeds. If it fails (partly or completely) the sense code is VOLUME OVERFLOW. The patch below is tested to fix the case when one filemark is successfully written after the EOM early warning. It should also fix the case at real EOM but this has not been tested.

Read does trigger it in my system. The bug is not associated with any specific HBA. st tries to do direct i/o in fixed block mode with reads that are not a multiple of tape block size. The patch in this message fixes the st problem by switching to using the driver buffer up to the next close of the device file in fixed block mode if the user asks for a read like this. I don't know why the bug has surfaced only after 2.6.17 although the st problem is old. There may be another bug in the block subsystem and this patch works around it. However, the patch fixes a problem in st and in this way it is a valid fix. This patch may also fix the bug 7900. The patch compiles and is lightly tested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation. This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some network filesystems would need this also. Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case.

Remove when PageReserved is removed */ BUG_ON(PageReserved(page)); I was using /dev/zero as input and it triggers this. When I used a file as input, this did not trigger. Should this BUG_ON be removed? In the same log I noticed that there was another ->sg_segs inconsistency. Also, the field ->last_SRpnt was not reset when scsi_execute_async() failed. This caused the error message "Async command already active" later and prevented proper close. While doing the changes, I noticed that the current code (since 2.6.0-test4) does not set the pages dirty when reading with direct i/o. All of these st problems (including the one I sent earlier) are fixed in the patch at the end of this message. These fixes should probably be included already in 2.6.15. After these fixes, the tape seems to operate as expected. Without other changes, the largest block size with sym53c896 SCSI adapter is 384 kB. The maximum number of sg segments is set to 96 and clustering is disabled in the driver. 96 x 4 kB = 384 kB. OK. I enabled clustering and set max_sectors to 10000 in the SCSI HBA driver. Now the block size limit is 5000 kB as expected. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* | [SCSI] convert st to use scsi_execute_asyncMike Christie2005-12-141-144/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | convert st to always send scatterlists and kill scsi_request usage. This is the same as last time as it was posted, but with Kai's patches merged and we now pass the bytes value to scsi_execute_async. TODO: - move DIO code to common place or make block layers usable for ULDs. - move buffer allocation code to common place for all ULDs to use. And make buffer allocation code handle all queue limits so we can find out about problems before calling scsi_execute_async. - move indirect (copy_to/from_user) paths commone place or make block layers usable for ULDs.

* | [SCSI] complete the whole command when it is REQ_BLOCK_PCMike Christie2005-12-141-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sd does not allow scsi_io_completion to retry commands for SG_IO requests, and it make sense that it should not happen for st SG_IO commands too. If for st we hit the bottom of scsi_io_completion we will probably screw things up pretty bad. This patch returns to the block layer that the whole command completed and relies on the caller to check the request errors field. For initialization commands like in sd, this adds the previous behavior where scsi_io_completion did not process the error.

* [SCSI] sg and st unmap_user_pages allow PageReservedHugh Dickins2005-12-021-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.15-rc1 made sg's st_unmap_user_pages and st's sgl_unmap_user_pages BUG on a PageReserved page. But that's wrong: they could be unmapping the ZERO_PAGE, which is marked PG_reserved; and perhaps others (while get_user_pages is still permitted on VM_PFNMAP areas - that may change). More change is needed here: sg claims to dirty even pages written from, and st claims not to dirty even pages read into; and SetPageDirty is not adequate for this nowadays. Fixes to those follow in a later patch: for the moment just fix the 2.6.15 regression.

* [SCSI] st: fix a bug in sgl_map_user_pages failure path Hugh Dickins2005-12-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nick and I had already been looking at drivers/scsi/{sg.c,st.c}, brought there by __put_page in sg.c's peculiar sg_rb_correct4mmap, which we'd like to remove. But that's irrelevant to your pain, except... One extract from the patches I'd like to send Doug and Kai for 2.6.15 or 2.6.16 is this below: since the incomplete get_user_pages path omits to reset res, but has already released all the pages, it will result in premature freeing of user pages, and behaviour just like you've seen. Though I'd have thought incomplete get_user_pages was an exceptional case, and a bit surprised you'd encounter it. Perhaps there's some other premature freeing in the driver, and this instance has nothing whatever to do with it. If the problem were easily reproducible, it'd be great if you could try this patch; but I think you've said it's not :-( Signed-off-by: Kai Makisara <kai.makisara@kolumbus.fi> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
