Ed Cashin 4a6c9ee93c aoe: allow comma separator in aoe_iflist value
By default, the aoe driver uses any ethernet interface for AoE, but the
aoe_iflist module parameter provides a convenient way to limit AoE
traffic to a specific list of local network interfaces.

This change allows a list to be specified using the comma character as a
separator.  For example,

  modprobe aoe aoe_iflist=eth2,eth3

Before, it was inconvenient to get the quoting right in shell scripts
when setting aoe_iflist to have more than one network interface.

Ed Cashin c450ba0fc1 aoe: allow user to disable target failure timeout
With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for
the aoe_deadsecs module parameter.  Normally, this value specifies the
number of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt
retransmits to an unresponsive AoE target.  After aoe_deadsecs has
elapsed, the aoe driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all
I/O.

The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to
retransmit commands indefinitely.

Ed Cashin 71114ec45f aoe: use dynamic number of remote ports for AoE storage target
Many AoE targets have four or fewer network ports, but some existing
storage devices have many, and the AoE protocol sets no limit.

This patch allows the use of more than eight remote MAC addresses per AoE
target, while reducing the amount of memory used by the aoe driver in
cases where there are many AoE targets with fewer than eight MAC addresses
each.

Ed Cashin e52a293264 aoe: avoid races between device destruction and discovery
This change avoids a race that could result in a NULL pointer derference
following a WARNing from kobject_add_internal, "don't try to register
things with the same name in the same directory."

The problem was found with a test that forgets and discovers an
aoe device in a loop:

  while test ! -r /tmp/stop; do
	aoe-flush -a
	aoe-discover
  done

The race was between aoedev_flush taking aoedevs out of the devlist,
allowing a new discovery of the same AoE target to take place before the
driver gets around to calling sysfs_remove_group.  Fixing that one
revealed another race between do_open and add_disk, and this patch avoids
that, too.

The fix required some care, because for flushing (forgetting) an aoedev,
some of the steps must be performed under lock and some must be able to
sleep.  Also, for discovering a new aoedev, some steps might sleep.

The check for a bad aoedev pointer remains from a time when about half of
this patch was done, and it was possible for the
bdev->bd_disk->private_data to become corrupted.  The check should be
removed eventually, but it is not expected to add significant overhead,
occurring in the aoeblk_open routine.

Ed Cashin bbb44e30d0 aoe: improve handling of misbehaving network paths
An AoE target can have multiple network ports used for AoE, and in the
aoe driver, those are tracked by the aoetgt struct.  These changes allow
the aoe driver to handle network paths, or aoetgts, that are not working
well, compared to the others.

Paths that do not get responses despite the retransmission of AoE
commands are marked as "tainted", and non-tainted paths are preferred.

Meanwhile, the aoe driver attempts to "probe" the tainted path in the
background by issuing reads of LBA 0 that are padded out to full
(possibly jumbo-frame) size.  If the probes get responses, then the path
is "redeemed", and its taint is removed.

This mechanism has been shown to be helpful in transparently handling
and recovering from real-world network "brown outs" in ways that the
earlier "shoot the help-needing target in the head" mechanism could not.

device nodes names do not match the AoE target.

Ed Cashin 0a41409c51 aoe: remove vestigial request queue allocation
Before the aoe driver was an I/O request handler, it was a
make_request-style block driver.  Even so, there was a problem where
sysfs expected a request queue to exist, so one was provided in commit
7135a71b19 ("aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs").

During the transition to the request-handler style, a patch was merged
that was based on a driver without the noop queue, and the noop queue
remained in place after the patch was merged, even though a new
functional queue was introduced by the patch, allocated through
blk_init_queue.

The user impact is a memory leak proportional to the number of AoE
targets discovered.  This patch removes the memory leak and cleans up
vestiges of the old do-nothing queue from the aoeblk_gdalloc function.

Ed Cashin fe7252bf51 aoe: copy fallback timing information on destination failover
Commit f3b8e07af774 ("aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new
destination on failure") omits the copying of the coarse-grained time
when an AoE command was sent during the failover from one destination
MAC address on the AoE target to another.

The coarse-grained timing is only used when the system time changes or
an unlikely length of time has passed since the sending of the AoE
command.  Users will not be impacted unless their system clock is very
inaccurate or something unusual (e.g., 10 GbE link reset) happens during
the period when the aoe driver is handling the failure of a port on the
AoE target.  Being effected will mean that an AoE target could be
considered "down" too eagerly.

Ed Cashin 3fc9b03248 aoe: commands in retransmit queue use new destination on failure
When one remote MAC address isn't working as a destination for AoE
commands, the frames used to track information associated with the AoE
commands are moved to a new aoetgt (defined by the tuple of {AoE major,
AoE minor, target MAC address}).

This patch makes sure that the frames on the queue for retransmits that
need to be done are updated to use the new destination, so that
retransmits will be sent through a working network path.

Without this change, packets on the retransmit queue will be needlessly
retransmitted to the unresponsive destination MAC, possibly causing
premature target failure before there's time for the retransmit timer to
run again, decide to retransmit again, and finally update the destination
to a working MAC address on the AoE target.

These changes improve the accuracy of the decision about whether it's time
to retransmit an AoE command by using the microsecond-resolution
gettimeofday instead of jiffies.

Because the system time can jump suddenly, the decision reverts to using
jiffies if the high-resolution time difference is relatively large.
Otherwise the AoE targets could be considered failed inappropriately.

Ed Cashin 3a0c40d2d2 aoe: improve network congestion handling
The aoe driver already had some congestion handling, but it was limited in
its ability to cope with the kind of congestion that can arise on more
complex networks such as those involving paths through multiple ethernet
switches.

Some of the lessons from TCP's history of development can be applied to
improving the congestion control and avoidance on AoE storage networks.
These changes use familar concepts from Van Jacobson's "Congestion
Avoidance and Control" paper from '88, without adding significant
overhead.

This patch depends on an upcoming patch that covers the failover case when
AoE commands being retransmitted are transferred from one retransmit queue
to another.  Another upcoming patch increases the timing accuracy.

field reflecting the AoE target's capacity to buffer incoming AoE
commands.

By taking the current value of this field into accound, we increase
performance throughput or avoid network congestion, when the value
has increased or decreased, respectively.

Dropped transmits are not common, but when they do occur, increasing
the transmit queue length often helps.

Ed Cashin 11cfb6ff73 aoe: avoid running request handler on plugged queue
Calling the request handler directly on a plugged queue defeats
the performance improvements provided by the plugging mechanism.
Use the __blk_run_queue function instead of calling the request
handler directly, so that we don't interfere with the block
layer's ability to plug the queue.

Ed Cashin 08b6062351 aoe: make dynamic block minor numbers the default
Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the
default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on
usable AoE addresses.  Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made
the old limitations too confining.

These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default,
removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses.

The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the
aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space
counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a
mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a
special device file.

Ed Cashin 4bcce1a355 aoe: retain static block device numbers for backwards compatibility
The old mapping between AoE target shelf and slot addresses and the block
device minor number is retained as a backwards-compatible feature, with a
new "aoe_dyndevs" module parameter available for enabling dynamic block
device minor numbers.

Ed Cashin 0c96621458 aoe: support more AoE addresses with dynamic block device minor numbers
The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot)
address to identify a particular storage target.  These changes remove an
artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses.
For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15,
but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that.

The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely.  Instead of
using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor
number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

Ed Cashin 7392fbe5ad aoe: update internal version number to 49
The internal version number of the aoe driver appears in a console message
when the driver loads and is usually obtained by the user with the
userland aoe-version tool, part of the aoetools.[1]

Although this patchset includes bugfixes backported from higher-numbered
versions published on the coraid.com website, it is a form of version 49.
