During testing, it was discovered that when a device tries to attach to the
alua handler while in TPG state of transitioning, the alua_rtpg function will
wait for it to exit the state before allowing it to continue. As a result, if
the 60 second timeout expires, the alua handler will not attach to the device.
To fix this, I have introduced an input argument to alua_rtpg called
wait_for_transition. The idea is that it will wait for the transition to
complete before an activation (because the current TPG state has some bearing
in that case), but during a discovery if it is transitioning, it will not
wait, and will store the state as standby for the time being.
I believe the precedent exists for this from commit
c0d289b3e5 Since if the device reports a state
of transitioning, it can transition to other more valid states, and it has
been established TPGS is supported on the device, if it is attaching.

When the scsi_dh_alua handler issues an RTPG during initialization, if it gets
0x06/0x29/0x04 as the sense, it will fail to attach the handler. NetApp
E-Series returns 0x29/0x00 for power on, and 0x29/0x04 for conditions that
cause the controller to reboot again. These conditions should be treated
identically within the handler.

Resending with requested rewording of the parameter description. Currently
ALUA device handler sends STPG command during failover and failback. Failover
can be optimized by implicit failover (by not to sending STPG command), when 1
is passed as hwhandler parameter in multipath.conf. ex "2 alua 1". We may need
to pass the parameter through module param for alua device handler to optimize
failover if incase retain_attached_hwhandler set in multipath.conf and
hwhandler is set with non-tpgs device handler ex: '1 rdac'.

is that
1. The error value is set to -EIO when there is sense, so we hit the first

2. h->senselen is set to zero in submit_stpg. It is not later set to

Currently the backoff algorithm for when to retry alua rtpg
requests progresses geometrically as so:

This progression can lead to un-needed delay in retrying
alua rtpg requests when the rtpgs are delayed. A less
aggressive backoff algorithm that is additive would not
lead to such large jumps when delays start getting long, but

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

supported AAS of the target as seen by the following entries
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).
