This patch optimizes the set target port group(STPG) command. During our
testing, we found that it is not optimal to send stpg command every time
the path group switch happens. This patch uses PREF (preferred target port)
bit with combination of flags passed by multipath user level tool to
optimize this behaviour. If PREF bit is set then it issues a STPG command,
otherwise it will let implicit transfer take place.
By default there is no change in the behaviour. User tool needs to pass the
parameter to make this change take effect. Patch has been tested on NetApp
E series storage.

in the /var/log/messages:
"alua: port group 3ea state A supports tousna"
"alua: port group 3e9 state A supports tousna"

rdac hardware handler assumes that there is one-to-one relation ship
between the host and the controller w.r.t lun. IOW, it does not
support "multiple storage partitions" within a storage.
Example:
HBA1 and HBA2 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (1)
HBA3 and HBA4 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (2)
HBA5 and HBA6 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (3)
luns 0 and 1 in (1), (2) and (3) are totally different.
But, rdac handler treats the lun 0s (and lun 1s) as the same when
sending a mode select to the controller, which is wrong.
This patch makes the rdac hardware handler associate HBA and the
storage w.r.t lun (and not the host itself).

The SCSI ALUA handler currently fails to attach to devices
reporting an UNAVAILABLE/OFFLINE AAS. But given that an
UNAVAILABLE/OFFLINE AAS can transition to other states
like ACTIVE/OPTIMIZED, ACTIVE/NON-OPTIMIZED, etc. as per

as to attach to devices which also report an
UNAVAILABLE/OFFLINE AAS.

causing problem because kernel uses bounce buffer(bio_copy_kern) if
the address is not aligned. The command buffer updated after the

Currently, when scsi_dh_activate() returns with an error
(e.g. SCSI_DH_NOSYS) the activate_complete callback is not called and
the error is not propagated to DM mpath.
When a SCSI device attached to a device handler is deleted, userland
processes currently performing I/O on the device will have their I/O
hang forever.
- Set SCSI_DH_NOSYS error when the handler is in the process of being
deleted (e.g. the SCSI device is in a SDEV_CANCEL or SDEV_DEL state).
- Set SCSI_DH_DEV_OFFLINED error when device is in SDEV_OFFLINE state.
- Call the activate_complete callback function directly from
scsi_dh_activate if an error has been set (when either the scsi_dh
internal data has already been deleted or is in the process of being
deleted).
The patch was tested in an iSCSI environment, RDAC H/W handler and
multipath. In the following reproduction process, dd will I/O hang
forever and the only way to release it will be to reboot the machine:
1) Perform I/O on a multipath device:
dd if=/dev/dm-0 of=/dev/zero bs=8k count=1000000 &
2) Delete all slave SCSI devices contained in the mpath device:
I) In an iSCSI environment, the easiest way to do this is by
stopping iSCSI:
/etc/init.d/iscsi stop
II) Another way to delete the devices is by applying the following
bash scriptlet:
dm_devs=$(ls /sys/block/ | grep dm- | xargs)
for dm_dev in $dm_devs; do
devices=$(ls /sys/block/$dm_dev/slaves)
for device in $devices; do
echo 1 > /sys/block/$device/device/delete
done
done
NOTE: when DM mpath's fail_path uses blk_abort_queue this scsi_dh change
isn't strictly required. However, DM mpath's call to blk_abort_queue
will soon be reverted because it has proven to be unsafe due to a race
(between blk_abort_queue and scsi_request_fn) that can lead to list
corruption. Therefore we cannot rely on blk_abort_queue via fail_path,
but even if we could this scsi_dh change is still preferrable.
