[PATCH 00/24] libsas: eh reworks (ata-eh vs discovery, races, ...)

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

 



Short overview:
1/ teach libsas to honor the reset recovery deadline specified by libata
2/ close command timeout vs normal completion races
3/ miscellaneous leak fixes and cleanups 

Currently libsas has problems coordinating ata device reset with
discovery [1].  A hard reset causes a link down event and depending on
when the link recovers the device could be removed or trigger
rediscovery and more resets.

In the direct-attached case the driver is able to debounce the link and
hide the signal-loss events from libsas.  In the expander-attached case
we need to poll the expander and check for device recovery before
processing the broadcast-change-notifications (resulting from the
reset).

Patches 1 - 3: drain_workqueue()
Because we want expander discovery to block on eh, we need to move ata
discovery to its own workqueue event.  That changes the chained work
queue depth from an lldd event from 2 to 3.  In order to ensure that
chain is flushed properly scsi_flush_work() is switched from
flush_workqueue() to drain_workqueue() (or otherwise open code 3-calls
to scsi_flush_work()).  Patch 2 fixes up drain_workqueue() so we can
continue to submit libsas events while draining.

Patches 4 - 8, 11: Miscellaneous cleanups
We seem to have been leaking struct domain_device objects for a while,
and the event locks in libsas are not required.

Patch 9: uplevel sas_ata ata lock management

Patches 12 - 17: completion races and libsas-eh vs libata-eh
Close races between eh completion and "late" completion by the lldd.
Where possible defer error handling to libata.  After these updates a
lldd can use sas_ata_schedule_reset() to ensure that the reset is
performed in libata context and not libsas-eh which has no link recovery
logic.

Patches 10, 18 - 24: libata link management
These patches aim to make sure all sources of reset of ata devices
occur in libata-eh context.  While libata-eh is active domain
rediscovery is held off.
