Hi all, I'm seeing crashes on powerpc with the ipr driver, which I'm fairly sure are due to dma_need_drain being NULL. The backtrace is: scsi_init_io+0x1d8/0x350 scsi_queue_rq+0x7a4/0xc30 blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list+0x1b0/0x910 blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x154/0x270 __blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0xa0/0x160 __blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue+0x244/0x250 blk_mq_sched_insert_request+0x13c/0x250 blk_execute_rq_nowait+0x88/0xb0 blk_execute_rq+0x5c/0xf0 __scsi_execute+0x10c/0x270 scsi_mode_sense+0x144/0x440 sr_probe+0x2e8/0x810 really_probe+0x12c/0x580 driver_probe_device+0x88/0x170 device_driver_attach+0x11c/0x130 __driver_attach+0xac/0x190 bus_for_each_dev+0xa8/0x130 driver_attach+0x34/0x50 bus_add_driver+0x170/0x2b0 driver_register+0xb4/0x1c0 scsi_register_driver+0x2c/0x40 init_sr+0x4c/0x80 do_one_initcall+0x60/0x2b0 kernel_init_freeable+0x2e0/0x3a0 kernel_init+0x2c/0x148 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x74 And looking at the disassembly I think it's coming from: static inline bool scsi_cmd_needs_dma_drain(struct scsi_device *sdev, struct request *rq) { return sdev->dma_drain_len && blk_rq_is_passthrough(rq) && !op_is_write(req_op(rq)) && sdev->host->hostt->dma_need_drain(rq); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ } Bisect agrees: # first bad commit: [cc97923a5bccc776851c242b61015faf288d5c22] block: move dma drain handling to scsi And looking at ipr.c, it constructs its scsi_host_template manually, without using any of the macros that end up calling __ATA_BASE_SHT, which populates dma_need_drain. The obvious fix below works, the system boots and seems to be operating normally, but I don't know enough (anything) about SCSI to say if it's actually the correct fix. cheers diff --git a/drivers/scsi/ipr.c b/drivers/scsi/ipr.c index 7d77997d26d4..7d86f4ca266c 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/ipr.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/ipr.c @@ -6731,6 +6731,7 @@ static struct scsi_host_template driver_template = { .compat_ioctl = ipr_ioctl, #endif .queuecommand = ipr_queuecommand, + .dma_need_drain = ata_scsi_dma_need_drain, .eh_abort_handler = ipr_eh_abort, .eh_device_reset_handler = ipr_eh_dev_reset, .eh_host_reset_handler = ipr_eh_host_reset,
