Currently, if there is a transport problem the iscsi drivers will return
outstanding commands (commands being exeucted by the driver/fw/hw) with
DID_BUS_BUSY and block the session so no new commands can be queued.
Commands that are caught between the failure handling and blocking are
failed with DID_IMM_RETRY or one of the scsi ml queuecommand return values.
When the recovery_timeout fires, the iscsi drivers then fail IO with
DID_NO_CONNECT.
For fcp, some drivers will fail some outstanding IO (disk but possibly not
tape) with DID_BUS_BUSY or DID_ERROR or some other value that causes a retry
and hits the scsi_error.c failfast check, block the rport, and commands
caught in the race are failed with DID_IMM_RETRY. Other drivers, may
hold onto all IO and wait for the terminate_rport_io or dev_loss_tmo_callbk
to be called.
The following patches attempt to unify what upper layers will see drivers
like multipath can make a good guess. This relies on drivers being
hooked into their transport class.
This first patch just defines two new host byte errors so drivers can
return the same value for when a rport/session is blocked and for
when the fast_io_fail_tmo fires.
The idea is that if the LLD/class detects a problem and is going to block
a rport/session, then if the LLD wants or must return the command to scsi-ml,
then it can return it with DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED. This will requeue
the IO into the same scsi queue it came from, until the fast io fail timer
fires and the class decides what to do.
When using multipath and the fast_io_fail_tmo fires then the class
can fail commands with DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST or drivers can use
DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST in their terminate_rport_io callbacks or
the equivlent in iscsi if we ever implement more advanced recovery methods.
A LLD, like lpfc, could continue to return DID_ERROR and then it will hit
the normal failfast path, so drivers do not have fully be ported to
work better. The point of the patches is that upper layers will
not see a failure that could be recovered from while the rport/session is
blocked until fast_io_fail_tmo/recovery_timeout fires.
V3
Remove some comments.

SCSI-ml manages the queueing limits for the device and host, but
does not do so at the target level. However something something similar
can come in userful when a driver is transitioning a transport object to
the the blocked state, becuase at that time we do not want to queue
io and we do not want the queuecommand to be called again.
The patch adds code similar to the exisiting SCSI_ML_*BUSY handlers.
You can now return SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY when we hit
a transport level queueing issue like the hw cannot allocate some
resource at the iscsi session/connection level, or the target has temporarily
closed or shrunk the queueing window, or if we are transitioning
to the blocked state.
bnx2i, when they rework their firmware according to netdev
developers requests, will also need to be able to limit queueing at this
level. bnx2i will hook into libiscsi, but will allocate a scsi host per
netdevice/hba, so unlike pure software iscsi/iser which is allocating
a host per session, it cannot set the scsi_host->can_queue and return
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY to reflect queueing limits on the transport.
The iscsi class/driver can also set a scsi_target->can_queue value which
reflects the max commands the driver/class can support. For iscsi this
reflects the number of commands we can support for each session due to
session/connection hw limits, driver limits, and to also reflect the
session/targets's queueing window.
Changes:
v1 - initial patch.
v2 - Fix scsi_run_queue handling of multiple blocked targets.
Previously we would break from the main loop if a device was added back on
the starved list. We now run over the list and check if any target is
blocked.
v3 - Rediff for scsi-misc.

For IBM z series certain LUNs can no longer be accessed.
This is because kernel version 2.6.19 a check was introduced not to
create a generic SCSI device for devices that return PQ=1 and
PDT=0x1f. For WLUNs (see SAM-3, p. 41ff) generic SCSI devices should
be created unconditionally without looking at the PQ bit, so add a
check for WLUNs in with this test.

Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),
do need some special handling for
1. Activating the passive path of the storage access.
2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.
As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.
Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.

With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
there's no need to have a check in the host template.
Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
to be a power of two.

This is what enables large commands. If we need to allocate an

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.

In order to use the new execute_in_process_context() API, you have to
provide it with the work storage, which I do in SCSI in scsi_device and
scsi_target, but which also means that we can no longer queue up the
target reaps, so instead I moved the target to a state model which
allows target_alloc to detect if we've received a dying target and wait
for it to be gone. Hopefully, this should also solve the target
namespace race.

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.
This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it. Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously. The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if
mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.
Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
