[SCSI] fix async scan add/remove race resulting in an oops

2009-11-26T15:43:39+00:00

Async scanning introduced a very wide window where the SCSI device is up and running but has not yet been added to sysfs. We delay the adding until all scans have completed to retain the same ordering as sync scanning. This delay in visibility causes an oops if a device is removed before we make it visible because the SCSI removal routines have an inbuilt assumption that if a device is in SDEV_RUNNING state, it must be visible (which is not necessarily true in the async scanning case). Fix this by introducing an additional is_visible flag which we can use to condition the tear down so we do the right thing for running but not yet made visible.

[SCSI] fix memory leak in initialization

2009-10-13T16:33:45+00:00

The root cause of the problem is the fact that dev_set_name() now allocates storage instead of using the original array within the kobj. That means that the SCSI assumption that if you haven't made the containing object or any sub objects visible, you can just destroy it (and its component devices) lock stock and barrel becomes false. Fix this by doing the get of sdev_dev at parent time and thus do an extra put of it in scsi_destroy_sdev() (and all other destruction without add paths).

[SCSI] Increase default timeout for INQUIRY

2009-05-20T22:21:13+00:00

This patch (as1224) changes the default timeout for INQUIRY commands from 3 seconds to 20 seconds, which is the value used by Windows for USB Mass-Storage devices. Some of these devices, like the Corsair Flash Voyager (see Bugzilla #12188) really do need a long timeout. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] initialize max_target_blocked in scsi_alloc_target

2009-05-14T21:17:46+00:00

This patch initializes the max_target_blocked field of a scsi target structure so that a queuecommand return value of SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY will actually result in having the scsi_queue_insert blocking the device queue before requeuing the command and running the queue. Otherwise, can and does cause livelock on single CPU configurations if/when open-iSCSI software initiator's command PDU window fills. Signed-off-by: Ed Goggin Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advanced

2009-04-22T02:40:00+00:00

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

[SCSI] scsi_scan: add missing interim SDEV_DEL state if slave_alloc fails

2009-02-10T16:15:17+00:00

We were running i/o and performing a bunch of hba resets in a loop. This forces a lot of target removes and then rescans. Since the resets are occuring during scan it's causing the scan i/o to timeout, invoking error recovery, etc. We end up getting some nasty crashing in scsi_scan.c due to references to old sdevs that are failing but had some lingering references that kept them around. Fix by setting device state to SDEV_DEL if the LLD's slave_alloc fails. Signed-off-by: James Smart Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

fastboot: make scsi probes asynchronous

2009-01-07T16:46:13+00:00

This patch makes part of the scsi probe (which is mostly device spin up and the partition scan) asynchronous. Only the part that runs after getting the device number allocated is asynchronous, ensuring that device numbering remains stable. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven
