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.

This patch tries to shorten the path length of scsi_cmd_to_driver(). As only
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands can be submitted without a driver, so we could
avoid the related NULL checking, as long as we make sure we don't use it for
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC type commands. Plus, this fixes a bug where you get
different behaviors from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands when a driver is and isn't
attached.

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.

verify protection information.
- The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
formatted with. This is necessary because the controller must be
able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
order to verify it.
- When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in

- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
could function without a request attached. So clean that up.
- Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.
- Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
and is reflected in the patch below is.
MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
as per the SCSI standard and is not related
to the implementation.
BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level
- I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA

(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

This removes static array sense_buffer in scsi_cmnd and uses
dynamically allocated sense_buffer (with GFP_DMA).
The reason for doing this is that some architectures need cacheline
aligned buffer for DMA:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/19/2
The problems are that scsi_eh_prep_cmnd puts scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer
to sglist and some LLDs directly DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer. It's
necessary to DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer safely. This patch solves
these issues.
__scsi_get_command allocates sense_buffer via kmem_cache_alloc and
attaches it to a scsi_cmnd so everything just work as before.

This reverts commit ac40532ef0, which gets
us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283.
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283 is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

scsi tgt breaks up a command into multple scatterlists
if we cannot fit all the data in one. This was because
the block rq helpers did not support large requests and
because we can get a command of any old size so it is
hard to preallocate pages for scatterlist large enough
(we cannot really preallocate pages with the bio map
user path). In 2.6.20, we added large request support to
the block layer helper, blk_rq_map_user. And at LSF,
we talked about increasing SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS for
scsi tgt if we want to support really really :) large

Note, per the last review we moved almost all the fields we added

The one field we left on was the offset variable. This is needed to handle
the case where the target gets request that is so large that it cannot
execute it in one dma operation. So max_secotors or a segment limit may
limit the size of the transfer. In this case our tgt core code will
break up the command into managable transfers and send them to the
LLD one at a time. The offset is then used to tell the LLD where in
the command we are at. Is there another field on the scsi_cmd for

sd: "good_bytes" computation is always done in terms of the resolution
of the device's medium, since after that it is the number of good bytes

that to their own resolution (block layer:512). It also makes
scsi_io_completion() processing more straightforward, eliminating the

The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not
get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver
uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the
actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem).
So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address
and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random
data to the device.
The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using
kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it
has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches
more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was
able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from
Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was
also able to test and debug it.
There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and
without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with
and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also
somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had
PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG.
It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but
even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait
if anybody cries...
Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations
in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel
strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there
is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are
the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure
either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere
around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either,
and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were
discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate
scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around
crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like
lib/scattergather.c? I am open here.

Mike found this cleanup opportunity and provdided early patches, so all
the credit goes to him, even if I redid the patches from scratch beause
that was easier than forward-porting the old patches.

This follows on from Jens' patch and consolidates all of the ULD
separate handlers for REQ_BLOCK_PC into a single call which has his
fix for our direction bug.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return
BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever. This code will apply a global timeout (of
the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given
command. If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its
state.
The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and
timeout_total.
This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer
because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device.
In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset,
so possibly this should be tied into the error handler?

We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it
for sending internal commands. That usage can be fixed easily because
those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily
use a completion there.
