Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Use the sysfs configurable timeout when issuing a START_UNIT
command from the scsi error handler. This is needed for devices which
take longer than thirty seconds to respond to the start
unit. The problem was observed when sending a start unit
to a disk array device in an ipr RAID adapter, which results
in the adapter firmware sending potentially multiple commands
to physical devices as a result of this command, which ended
up timing out sometimes. This patch does not change the default
value used for this command.

Currently, the scsi error handler will issue a START_UNIT
command if the drive indicates it needs its motor started
and the allow_restart flag is set in the scsi_device. If,
after the scsi error handler invokes a host adapter reset
due to error recovery, a device is in a unit attention
state AND also needs a START_UNIT, that device will be placed
offline. The disk array devices on an ipr RAID adapter
will do exactly this when in a dual initiator configuration.
This patch adds a single retry to the EH initiated
START_UNIT.

This fixes a regression caused by commit:
2dc611de5a
The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use
alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not
updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total
grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got.
Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up
in the sense buffer.
Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can
end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If
the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued
by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will
spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers
are on sparc64:
default:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name);
__scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd);
scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr);
err = -EIO;
This is the error Tom Callaway reported in:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2

The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer,
and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to
the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up
copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi
command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun
things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with
data and scatterlists.
This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of
scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd
can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this

Currently struct scsi_cmnd has various fields that are used to backup
original data after the corresponding fields have been overridden for
EH commands. This means drivers can easily get at it and misuse it.
Due to the old_ naming this doesn't happen for most of them, but two
that have different names have been used wrong a lot (see previous
patch). Another downside is that they unessecarily bloat the scsi_cmnd
size.
This patch moves them onstack in scsi_send_eh_cmnd to fix those two
issues aswell as allowing future EH fixes like moving the EH command

In short, SCSI host is not supposed to know about exceptions unrelated
to specific device or command. Such exceptions should be handled by
transport layer proper. However, the distinction is not essential to
ATA and libata is planning to depart from SCSI, so, for the time

The eh_action semaphore in scsi_eh_send_command is cleared after a

The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to
tell whether error recovery has succeeded. The scsi_eh_tur function
gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more
error recovery is needed.
However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed
when in fact error recovery has succeeded. A typical example might be
SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready). The mere
fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate
that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery.
I ran across a case back in January where this happened. A CD-ROM drive
timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage.
But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning
up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline.
If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would
have worked okay. It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just
because the error handler had started running.

This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.
