* st: implement tape statisticsSeymour, Shane M2015-06-021-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements tape statistics in the st module via sysfs. Current no statistics are available for tape I/O and there is no easy way to reuse the block layer statistics for tape as tape is a character device and does not have perform I/O in sector sized chunks (the size of the data written to tape can change). For tapes we also need extra stats related to things like tape movement (via other I/O). There have been multiple end users requesting statistics including AT&T (and some HP customers who have not given permission to be named). It is impossible for them to investigate any issues related to tape performance in a non-invasive way.

* [SCSI] st: raise device limitJeff Mahoney2012-09-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The device limit of 128 tape drives was established in 2003 as a significant increase from the 8 tape drives allowed previously. We're seeing customer sites that between a large number of drives and multipath are discovering more than 128 devices and running into problems. Now that we're not stuck having to store a pointer in array and aren't limited by kmalloc failing on higher order allocs we can lift the limit to fill the entire minor range based on the number of modes. Based on the current code, that's 2^17 devices.

* [SCSI] st: get rid of scsi_tapes arrayJeff Mahoney2012-09-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | st currently allocates an array to store pointers to all of the scsi_tape objects. It's used to discover available indexes to use as the base for the minor number selection and later to look up scsi_tape devices for character devices. We switch to using an IDR for minor selection and a pointer from st_modedef back to scsi_tape for the lookups.

* [SCSI] st: fix memory leak with >1MB tape I/ODavid Jeffery2012-05-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a memory leak in the st driver when sending large enough reads or writes using st's direct I/O path. As part of mapping the application's memory, a buffer to hold page pointers is allocated and the count of mapped pages is stored in field do_dio. A non-zero do_dio marks that direct I/O is in use. But do_dio is only 1 byte in size. Mapping 256 4k pages overflows do_dio and causes it to be set to 0, like direct I/O option was not used. When the I/O completes, the buffer to hold the page pointers is not freed, and the page counts of the mapped pages are not reduced. Every I/O of this size then leaks memory. The size of do_dio needs to be increased to prevent it wrapping around.

* [SCSI] st: expand ability to write immediate filemarksLee Duncan2012-03-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives. Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl, this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only applies to writing EOFs. This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag. Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options" attribute. The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well as the problems that can occur from using it.

* [SCSI] st: fix mdata->page_order handlingFUJITA Tomonori2009-12-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dio transfer always resets mdata->page_order to zero. It breaks high-order pages previously allocated for non-dio transfer. This patches adds reserved_page_order to st_buffer structure to save page order for non-dio transfer. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14563 When enlarge_buffer() allocates 524288 from 0, st uses six-order page allocation. So mdata->page_order is 6 and frp_seg is 2. After that, if st uses dio, sgl_map_user_pages() sets mdata->page_order to 0 for st_do_scsi(). After that, when we call normalize_buffer(), it frees only free frp_seg * PAGE_SIZE (2 * 4096) though we should free frp_seg * PAGE_SIZE << 6 (2 * 4096 << 6). So we see buffer_size is set to 516096 (524288 - 8192).

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have rediffed the patch against 2.6.13-rc5, done a couple of cosmetic cleanups, and run some tests. Brian King has acknowledged that it fixes the problems he has seen. Seems mature enough for inclusion into 2.6.14 (or later)? Nate's explanation of the changes: I've attached patches against 2.6.13rc2. These are basically identical to my earlier patches, as I found that all issues I'd seen in earlier kernels still existed in this kernel. To summarize, the changes are: (more details in my original email) - add a kref to the scsi_tape structure, and associate reference counting stuff - set sr_request->end_io = blk_end_sync_rq so we get notified when an IO is rejected when the device goes away - check rq_status when IOs complete, else we don't know that IOs rejected for a dead device in fact did not complete - change last_SRpnt so it's set before an async IO is issued (in case st_sleep_done is bypassed) - fix a bogus use of last_SRpnt in st_chk_result Signed-off-by: Nate Dailey <nate.dailey@stratus.com> Signed-off-by: Kai Makisara <kai.makisara@kolumbus.fi> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
