2009-05-23[SCSI] iscsi: pass ep connect shostMike Christie1-11/+40
When we create the tcp/ip connection by calling ep_connect, we currently just go by the routing table info. I think there are two problems with this. 1. Some drivers do not have access to a routing table. Some drivers like qla4xxx do not even know about other ports. 2. If you have two initiator ports on the same subnet, the user may have set things up so that session1 was supposed to be run through port1. and session2 was supposed to be run through port2. It looks like we could end with both sessions going through one of the ports. Fixes for cxgb3i from Karen Xie.

The same can happen for iscsi when transitioning from logged in to failed and blocking the sdevs. This patch converts iscsi and fc's transitions back to use DID_IMM_RETRY instead of DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED which has a limited number of retries that we do not want to use for handling this race.

We never should hit the lock up that is spit out when lock dep is on and we logout. But we have been using the shost work queue in a odd way.

2009-02-05netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso1-10/+2
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

2008-10-13[SCSI] libiscsi: Support drivers initiating session removalMike Christie1-3/+3
If the driver knows when hardware is removed like with cxgb3i, bnx2i, qla4xxx and iser then we will want to remove the sessions/devices that are bound to that device before removing the host. cxgb3i and in the future bnx2i will remove the host and that will remove all the sessions on the hba. iser can call iscsi_kill_session when it gets an event that indicates that a hca is removed. And when qla4xxx is hooked in to the lib (it is only hooked into the class right now) it can call iscsi remove host like the partial offload card drivers.

2008-10-03[SCSI] scsi_host_lookup: error returns and NULL pointersJames Smart1-2/+2
This patch cleans up the behavior of scsi_host_lookup(). The original implementation attempted to use the dual role of either returning a pointer value, or a negative error code. User's needed to use IS_ERR() to check the result. Additionally, the IS_ERR() macro never checks for when a NULL pointer was returned, so a NULL pointer actually passes with a success case. Note: scsi_host_get(), used by scsi_host_lookup(), can return a NULL pointer. Talk about a mudhole for the unitiated to step into.... This patch converts scsi_host_lookup() to return either NULL or a valid pointer. The consumers were updated for the change.

2008-07-12[SCSI] iscsi class: Add session initiatorname and ifacename sysfs attrs.Mike Christie1-1/+5
This adds two new attrs used for creating initiator ports and binding sessions to hardware. The session level initiatorname: Since bnx2i does a scsi_host per host device, we need to add the iface initiator port settings on the session, so we can create multiple initiator ports (each with different inames) per device/scsi_host. The current iname reflects that qla4xxx can have one iname per hba, and we are allocating a host per session for software. The iname on the host will remain so we can export and set the hba level qla4xxx setting. The ifacename attr: To bind a session to a some peice of hardware in userspace we maintain some mappings, but during boot or iscsid restart (iscsid contains the user space part of the driver) we need to be able to figure out which of those host mappings abstractions maps to certain sessions. This patch adds a ifacename attr, which userspace can set to id the host side of the endpoint across pivot_roots and iscsid restarts.

Software iscsi/iser will follow the same behabior as before where it allcoates a host per session, but in the future iser will probably look more like bnx2i where the host's parent is the hardware (rnic for iser and for bnx2i it is the nic), because it does not use a socket layer like how iscsi_tcp does.

2007-10-10[NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchroniousDenis V. Lunev1-47/+35
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Acked-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-06-02[SCSI] iscsi class, iscsi_tcp, iser, qla4xxx: add netdevname sysfs attrMike Christie1-2/+4
iSCSI must support software iscsi (iscsi_tcp, iser), hardware iscsi (qla4xxx), and partial offload (broadcom). To be able to allow each stack or driver or port (virtual or physical) to be able to log into the same target portal we use the initiator tuple [[HWADDRESS | NETDEVNAME], INITIATOR_NAME] and the target tuple [TARGETNAME, CONN_ADDRESS, CONN_PORT] to id a session. This patch adds the netdev name, which is used by software iscsi when it binds a session to a netdevice using the SO_BINDTODEVICE sock opt. It cannot use HWADDRESS because if someone did vlans then the same netdevice will have the same mac and the initiator,target id will not be unique.
