[PATCH RFC v2 00/18] blk-mq/libata/scsi: SCSI driver tagging improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently SCSI low-level drivers are required to manage tags for commands
which do not come via the block layer - libata internal commands would be
an example of one of these. We want to make blk-mq manage these tags also.

There was some work to provide "reserved commands" support in such series
as https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20211125151048.103910-1-hare@xxxxxxx/

This was based on allocating a request for the lifetime of the "internal"
command.

This series tries to solve that problem by not just allocating the request
but also sending it as a request through the block layer. Reasons to do
this:
- Normal flow of a request and also commonality for regular scsi command
  lifetime
- We don't leave request and scsi_cmnd fields dangling as when we just
  allocate and free the request for the lifetime of the "internal" command
- For poll mode support we can only poll in block layer, so could not send
  internal commands on poll mode queues if we did not do this, which is a
  problem
- Can get rid of duplicated code like libsas internal command timeout
  handling

Based on v5.19-rc1

Please consider as an PoC for now. I have broken builds, bisectablility,
and functionality for a lot of libsas drivers, like pm8001. Indeed, 
10/18 onwards need a lot of work...

Testing:
QEMU with AHCI with disk and cdrom attached and hisi_sas v2 both boot.
