2012-02-19[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commandsMartin K. Petersen1-0/+35
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.

2011-10-30[SCSI] sd: remove arbitrary SD_MAX_DISKS namespace limitDave Kleikamp1-6/+0
There is no reason to limit the SCSI disk namespace to sdXXX. Add new error messages to sd_probe() in the unlikely event that either ida_get_new() or sd_format_disk_name() fail. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
2011-03-14[SCSI] sd: Logical Block Provisioning updateMartin K. Petersen1-5/+20
SBC3r26 contains many changes to the Logical Block Provisioning interfaces (formerly known as Thin Provisioning ditto). This patch implements support for both the old and new schemes using the same heuristic as before (whether the LBP VPD page is present). The new code also allows the provisioning mode (i.e. choice of command) to be overridden on a per-device basis via sysfs. Two additional modes are supported in this version: - WRITE SAME(10) with the UNMAP bit set - WRITE SAME(10) without the UNMAP bit set. This allows us to support devices that predate the TP/LBP enhancements in SBC3 and which work by way zero-detection Switching between modes has been consolidated in a helper function that also updates the block layer topology according to the limitations of the chosen command. I experimented with trying WRITE SAME(16) if UNMAP fails, WRITE SAME(10) if WRITE SAME(16) fails, etc. but found several devices that got cranky. So for now we'll disable discard if one of the commands fail. The user still has the option of selecting a different mode in sysfs. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2011-01-14[SCSI] sd: implement sd_check_events()Tejun Heo1-1/+0
Replace sd_media_change() with sd_check_events(). * Move media removed logic into set_media_not_present() and media_not_present() and set sdev->changed iff an existing media is removed or the device indicates UNIT_ATTENTION. * Make sd_check_events() sets sdev->changed if previously missing media becomes present. * Event is reported only if sdev->changed is set. This makes media presence event reported if scsi_disk->media_present actually changed or the device indicated UNIT_ATTENTION. For backward compatibility, SDEV_EVT_MEDIA_CHANGE is generated each time sd_check_events() detects media change event.

The hw_sector_size variable could overflow if a device reported huge physical blocks. Switch to the more accurate physical_block_size terminology and make sure we use an unsigned int to match the range permitted by READ CAPACITY(16). Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Add support for the Thin Provisioning VPD page and use the TPU and TPWS bits to switch between UNMAP and WRITE SAME(16) for discards. If no TP VPD page is present we fall back to old scheme where the max descriptor count combined with the max lba count are used trigger UNMAP. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2010-09-05[SCSI] scsi/block: increase flush/sync timeoutMike Christie1-0/+1
We have been seeing the flush request timeout with a wide range of hardware from tgt+iser to FC targets from a major vendor. After discussions about if the value should be configurable and what the best value should be, this patch just increases the flush/sync cache timeout to 1 minute. 2 minutes was determined to be too long, and making it configurable was troublesome for users. This patch was made over Linus's tree. It is not made over scsi-misc or scsi-rc-fixes, because Linus's had block layer changes that my patch was built over.

2010-08-07scsi/sd: remove big kernel lockArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the result of the pushdown from the block layer into the open/close/ioctl functions. The only place that used to rely on the BKL is the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted into an atomic_t. Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the functions do not touch global data without holding another lock, and the open/close functions are still protected from concurrent execution using the bdev->bd_mutex.

2008-08-05Re-introduce "[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectors"Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
This re-introduces commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8, which was reverted due to the regression it caused by commit fca082c9f1e11ec07efa8d2f9f13688521253f36. That regression was not root-caused by the original commit, it was just uncovered by it, and the real fix was done by Alan Stern in commit 580da34847488b404218d1d7f53b156f245f5555 ("Fix USB storage hang on command abort"). We can thus re-introduce the change that was confirmed by Alan Jenkins to be still required by his odd card reader.

This reverts commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8, since it seems to break some other USB storage devices (at least a JMicron USB to ATA bridge). As such, while it apparently fixes some cardreaders, it would need to be made conditional on the exact reader it fixes in order to avoid causing regressions.

2008-07-27[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectorsAlan Jenkins1-0/+6
The last_sector_bug flag was added to work around a bug in certain usb cardreaders, where they would crash if a multiple sector read included the last sector. The original implementation avoids this by e.g. splitting an 8 sector read which includes the last sector into a 7 sector read, and a single sector read for the last sector. The flag is enabled for all USB devices. This revealed a second bug in other usb cardreaders, which crash when they get a multiple sector read which stops 1 sector short of the last sector. Affected hardware includes the Kingston "MobileLite" external USB cardreader and the internal USB cardreader on the Asus EeePC. Extend the last_sector_bug workaround to ensure that any access which touches the last 8 hardware sectors of the device is a single sector long. Requests are shrunk as necessary to meet this constraint. This gives us a safety margin against potential unknown or future bugs affecting multi-sector access to the end of the device. The two known bugs only affect the last 2 sectors. However, they suggest that these devices are prone to fencepost errors and that multi-sector access to the end of the device is not well tested. Popular OS's use multi-sector accesses, but they rarely read the last few sectors. Linux (with udev & vol_id) automatically reads sectors from the end of the device on insertion. It is assumed that single sector accesses are more thoroughly tested during development.

2008-07-26[SCSI] sd: Support for SCSI disk (SBC) Data Integrity FieldMartin K. Petersen1-0/+25
Support for controllers and disks that implement DIF protection information: - During command preparation the RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT must be set correctly if the target has DIF enabled. - READ(6) and WRITE(6) are not supported when DIF is on. - The controller must be told how to handle the I/O via the protection operation field in scsi_cmnd. - Refactor the I/O completion code that extracts failed LBA from the returned sense data and handle DIF failures correctly. - sd_dif.c implements the functions required to prepare and complete requests with protection information attached.

2008-07-26[SCSI] sd: Identify DIF protection type and application tag ownershipMartin K. Petersen1-0/+23
If a disk is formatted with protection information (Inquiry bit PROTECT=1) it is required to support Read Capacity(16). Force use of the 16-bit command in this case and extract the P_TYPE field which indicates whether the disk is formatted using DIF Type 1, 2 or 3. The ATO (App Tag Own) bit in the Control Mode Page indicates whether the storage device or the initiator own the contents of the DIF application tag. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
