2008-07-12[SCSI] ibmvfc: IBM Power Virtual Fibre Channel Adapter Client DriverBrian King3-0/+4593
This patch adds a new device driver to support the Virtual Fibre Channel interface on IBM Power based servers. The Virtual I/O Server on IBM Power servers utilizes N-Port ID Virtualization to export a Virtual Fibre Channel adapter to the client. This driver is the client device driver.

2008-05-27[SCSI] ibmvscsi: Non SCSI error status fixupBrian King2-2/+3
Some versions of the Virtual I/O Server on Power return 0x99 in the non-SCSI error status field as success, rather than 0. This fixes the ibmvscsi driver to treat this response as success.

2008-05-02[SCSI] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd bufferBoaz Harrosh1-1/+1
- 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 Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen. (*)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. So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2008-01-30[SCSI] remove use_sg_chainingJames Bottomley1-1/+0
With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so there's no need to have a check in the host template. Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not to be a power of two.

2008-01-11[SCSI] ibmvscsi: requeue while CRQ closedRobert Jennings1-55/+96
CRQ send errors that return with H_CLOSED should return with SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY until firmware alerts the client of a CRQ transport event. The transport event will either reinitialize and requeue the requests or fail and return IO with DID_ERROR. To avoid failing the eh_* functions while re-attaching to the server adapter this will retry for a period of time while ibmvscsi_send_srp_event returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY. In ibmvscsi_eh_abort_handler() the loop includes the search of the event list. The lock on the hostdata is dropped while waiting to try again after failing ibmvscsi_send_srp_event. The event could have been purged if a login was in progress when the function was called. In ibmvscsi_eh_device_reset_handler() the loop includes the call to get_event_struct() because a failing call to ibmvscsi_send_srp_event() will have freed the event struct.

2007-11-03[SCSI] ibmvscsi: Prevent IO during partner loginRobert Jennings1-5/+14
By setting the request_limit in send_srp_login to 1 we allowed login requests to be sent to the server adapter. If this was not an initial login, but was a login after a disconnect with the server, other I/O requests could attempt to be processed before the login occured. These I/O requests would fail, sometimes resulting in filesystems getting marked read-only. To address this we can set the request_limit to 0 while doing the login and add an exception where login requests, along with task management events, are always passed to the server. There is a case where the request_limit had already reached 0 would result in all events being sent rather than returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY; this has also been fixed by this patch.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells1-4/+1
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-07-31[POWERPC] scsi: Constify & voidify get_property()Jeremy Kerr1-7/+4
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can constify get_property later. powerpc-specific scsi driver changes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Without this patch we register an interrupt with request_irq, but then return a bad return code from the module probe. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
