This patch fixes a corner case in the previous USB Deadlock fix patch (12023e7
[SCSI] Fix USB deadlock caused by SCSI error handling).
The scenario is abort command, set flag, abort completes, send TUR, TUR
doesn't return, so we now try to abort the TUR, but scsi_abort_eh_cmnd()
will skip the abort because the flag is set and move straight to reset.

USB requires that every command be aborted first before we escalate to reset.
In particular, USB will deadlock if we try to reset first before aborting the
command.
Unfortunately, the flag we use to tell if a command has already been aborted:
SCSI_EH_ABORT_SCHEDULED is not cleared properly leading to cases where we can
requeue a command with the flag set and proceed immediately to reset if it
fails (thus causing USB to deadlock).
Fix by clearing the SCSI_EH_ABORT_SCHEDULED flag if it has been set. Which
means this will be the second time scsi_abort_command() has been called for
the same command. IE the first abort went out, did its thing, but now the
same command has timed out again.
So this flag gets cleared, and scsi_abort_command() returns FAILED, and _no_
asynchronous abort is being scheduled. scsi_times_out() will then proceed to
call scsi_eh_scmd_add(). But as we've cleared the SCSI_EH_ABORT_SCHEDULED
flag the SCSI_EH_CANCEL_CMD flag will continue to be set, and the command will
be aborted with the main SCSI EH routine.

We're seeing a case where the contents of scmd->result isn't being reset after
a SCSI command encounters an error, is resubmitted, times out and then gets
handled. The error handler acts on the stale result of the previous error
instead of the timeout. Fix this by properly zeroing the scmd->status before
the command is resubmitted.

The former minimum valid value of 'eh_deadline' is 1s, which means
the earliest occasion to shorten EH is 1 second later since a
command is failed or timed out. But if we want to skip EH steps
ASAP, we have to wait until the first EH step is finished. If the
duration of the first EH step is long, this waiting time is
excruciating. So, it is necessary to accept 0 as the minimum valid
value for 'eh_deadline'.
According to my test, with Hannes' patchset 'New EH command timeout
handler' as well, the minimum IO time is improved from 73s
(eh_deadline = 1) to 43s(eh_deadline = 0) when commands are timed
out by disabling RSCN and target port.

When a command runs into a timeout we need to send an 'ABORT TASK'
TMF. This is typically done by the 'eh_abort_handler' LLDD callback.
Conceptually, however, this function is a normal SCSI command, so
there is no need to enter the error handler.
This patch implements a new scsi_abort_command() function which
invokes an asynchronous function scsi_eh_abort_handler() to
abort the commands via the usual 'eh_abort_handler'.
If abort succeeds the command is either retried or terminated,
depending on the number of allowed retries. However, 'eh_eflags'
records the abort, so if the retry would fail again the
command is pushed onto the error handler without trying to
abort it (again); it'll be cleared up from SCSI EH.

Commit 18a4d0a22e
(Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands)
was introduced to offline any device which cannot process medium
access commands.
However, commit 3eef6257de
(Reduce error recovery time by reducing use of TURs) reduced
the number of TURs by sending it only on the first failing
command, which might or might not be a medium access command.
So in combination this results in an erratic device offlining
during EH; if the command where the TUR was sent upon happens
to be a medium access command the device will be set offline,
if not everything proceeds as normal.
This patch moves the check to the final test, eliminating
this problem.

This patchs adds an 'eh_deadline' sysfs attribute to the scsi
host which limits the overall runtime of the SCSI EH.
The 'eh_deadline' value is stored in the now obsolete field
'resetting'.
When a command is failed the start time of the EH is stored
in 'last_reset'. If the overall runtime of the SCSI EH is longer
than last_reset + eh_deadline, the EH is short-circuited and
falls through to issue a host reset only.

This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem.
SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2)
if the device is in the stopped state as the result of
processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL
shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION
status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional
sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND
REQUIRED;
mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing
standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send
another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST
UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow
the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This
means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and
then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and
then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive.
This bit us badly because

Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200
block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives
connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas
SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command)
resulting in lots of failed commands.
The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we
have to work around it.
The fix for this is twofold:
1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been
suspended
2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any
further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which
may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas
is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe.
A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations()
in the case when scsi_restart_operations() issues i/o to other devices
in the sas domain. When this happens the host state transitions from
SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and
->host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though
->host_eh_scheduled is active.
Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the
host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through
eh. Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been
blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those
i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task
timeouts.

We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.
The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.
If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.
Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

In error recovery, most scsi error recovery stages will send a TUR command
for every bad command when a driver's error handler reports success. When
several bad commands to the same device, this results in a device
being probed multiple times.
This becomes very problematic if the device or connection is in a state
where the device still doesn't respond to commands even after a recovery
function returns success. The error handler must wait for the test
commands to time out. The time waiting for the redundant commands can
drastically lengthen error recovery.
This patch alters the scsi mid-layer's error routines to send test commands
once per device instead of once per bad command. This can drastically
lower error recovery time.

This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years. I
believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time.
Please apply or reject with a reason.
The benefits are:
- makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same
pointers is not easy on the eye.
- theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can
allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory
this could also be a micro speed optimization.
- reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one
configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400)
- removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.

Instead of just passing 'EIO' for any I/O error we should be
notifying the upper layers with more details about the cause
of this error.
Update the possible I/O errors to:
- ENOLINK: Link failure between host and target
- EIO: Retryable I/O error
- EREMOTEIO: Non-retryable I/O error
- EBADE: I/O error restricted to the I_T_L nexus
'Retryable' in this context means that an I/O error _might_ be
restricted to the I_T_L nexus (vulgo: path), so retrying on another
nexus / path might succeed.
'Non-retryable' in general refers to a target failure, so this
error will always be generated regardless of the I_T_L nexus
it was send on.
I/O errors restricted to the I_T_L nexus might be retried
on another nexus / path, but they should _not_ be queued

The error handler is using the test cmd->serial_number == 0 in the
abort routines to signal that the command to be aborted has already
completed normally. This design was to close a race window in the
original error handler where a command could go through the normal
completion routines after it timed out but before error handling was
started.
Mike Anderson pointed out that when we converted our timeout and
softirq completions, we picked up atomicity here because the block
layer now mediates this with the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag and guarantees
that *either* the command times out or our done routine is called, but
ensures we can't get both occurring. That makes the serial number
zero check redundant and it can be removed.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

[SCSI] reservation conflict after timeout causes device to be taken offline
Flipped us from always returning failed to always returning success in
the name of fixing the problem where reservation conflict returns from
test unit ready cause the device always to be taken offline.
Unfortuantely, it also introduced a problem whereby for commands other
than test unit ready, the eh dispatcher thinks they succeeded when
reservation conflict is returned, whereas in reality they failed. Fix
this by only returning success for the test unit ready case.

When the transport is busy and we're sending an EH command drivers
occasionally return 'BUSY'. As this in most cases is the TUR
command sent as part of the error recovery this is a sure way
to make the error recovery escalate. Returning 'NEEDS_RETRY'
here will just retry the TUR command and eventually abort the
original command, thus making error handling far smoother.

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file
systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry
requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the
response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want).
We need a workaround such as the commit
77a4229719 to retry BLOCK_PC flush
requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too
since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally.
This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to
transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we
also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the
callers don't.
This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS
requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(),
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before.
Note that basically, this reverts the commit
77a4229719 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS
for flush requests.

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests. This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer. Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them. Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.
The implementation is simplistic. In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything. (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.) There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.
LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume). Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.
The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered. If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count. If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.
Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running. In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

If the user accidentally changes LUN mappings or it occurs
due to a bug, then it can cause data corruption that can take
months and months to track down. This patch adds a log
message when getting REPORT_LUNS_DATA_CHANGED and it adds
a generic message for other Unit Attentions with asc == 0x3f.
We are working on adding support for handling of these errors,
but I think until then we should at least log a message so
tracking down problems as a result of one of these changes
is a little easier.

There's nastyness in the way we currently handle barriers (and
discards): They're effectively filesystem commands, but they get
processed as BLOCK_PC commands. Unfortunately BLOCK_PC commands are
taken by SCSI to be SG_IO commands and the issuer expects to see and
handle any returned errors, however trivial. This leads to a huge
problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any
trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error
to the filesystem.
The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of
offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the
case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER. A correct fix would involve a rework of
the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a
quick fix.
