2013-06-27[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristicsMartin K. Petersen
SATA drives located behind a SAS controller would incorrectly receive WRITE SAME commands. Tweak the heuristics so that: - If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is provided we will use that to choose between WRITE SAME(16), WRITE SAME(10) and disabled. This also fixes an issue with the old code which would issue WRITE SAME(10) despite the command not being whitelisted in REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES. - If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is not provided we will fall back to WRITE SAME(10) unless the device has an ATA Information VPD page. The assumption is that a SATL which is smart enough to implement WRITE SAME would also provide REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES. To facilitate the new heuristics scsi_report_opcode() has been modified to so we can distinguish between "operation not supported" and "RSOC not supported". Reported-by: H.

2013-05-02[SCSI] sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing performance problemsJames Bottomley
Some arrays synchronize their full non volatile cache when the sd driver sends a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command. Unfortunately, they can have Terrabytes of this and we send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE for every barrier if an array reports it has a writeback cache. This leads to massive slowdowns on journalled filesystems. The fix is to allow userspace to turn off the writeback cache setting as a temporary measure (i.e. without doing the MODE SELECT to write it back to the device), so even though the device reported it has a writeback cache, the user, knowing that the cache is non volatile and all they care about is filesystem correctness, can turn that bit off in the kernel and avoid the performance ruinous (and safety irrelevant) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. The way you do this is add a 'temporary' prefix when performing the usual cache setting operations, so echo temporary write through > /sys/class/scsi_disk/<disk>/cache_type Reported-by: Ric Wheeler <rwheeler@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
2012-11-14[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAMEMartin K. Petersen
Implement support for WRITE SAME(10) and WRITE SAME(16) in the SCSI disk driver. - We set the default maximum to 0xFFFF because there are several devices out there that only support two-byte block counts even with WRITE SAME(16). We only enable transfers bigger than 0xFFFF if the device explicitly reports MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH in the BLOCK LIMITS VPD. - max_write_same_blocks can be overriden per-device basis in sysfs. - The UNMAP discovery heuristics remain unchanged but the discard limits are tweaked to match the "real" WRITE SAME commands. - In the error handling logic we now distinguish between WRITE SAME with and without UNMAP set. The discovery process heuristics are: - If the device reports a SCSI level of SPC-3 or greater we'll issue READ SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES to find out whether WRITE SAME(16) is supported. If that's the case we will use it. - If the device supports the block limits VPD and reports a MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH bigger than 0xFFFF we will use WRITE SAME(16). - Otherwise we will use WRITE SAME(10) unless the target LBA is beyond 0xFFFFFFFF or the block count exceeds 0xFFFF. - no_write_same is set for ATA, FireWire and USB.

2012-09-24[SCSI] sd: Avoid remapping bad reference tagsMartin K. Petersen
It does not make sense to translate ref tags with unexpected values. Instead we simply ignore them and let the upper layers catch the problem.

2012-02-19[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commandsMartin K. Petersen
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.

2011-03-14[SCSI] sd: Logical Block Provisioning updateMartin K. Petersen
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 Heo
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.

2010-09-05[SCSI] scsi/block: increase flush/sync timeoutMike Christie
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 Bergmann
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.

2008-08-06Re-introduce "[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectors"Linus Torvalds
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.

2008-07-27[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectorsAlan Jenkins
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.
