[PATCH 00/15] Subject: Protection information and block size cleanup

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

 



This series cleans up how low-level device drivers go about handling
protection information. The SCSI midlayer provides a set of flags and
helpers but not all drivers currently use them. This series updates
the drivers to use the proper calls to query things like the
protection interval, reference tag seed value, etc.

In addition scsi_debug is enhanced to validate and store protection
information the same way as a regular PI-capable disk drive or
SSD. With these changes scsi_debug is now able to pass the same PI
qualification tests as physical hardware.

And finally: Bart's recent series [1] attempted to clean up some of
the confusion between logical block addresses and block layer sector
addresses. Part of Bart's work is included in this series as well as
some fixes to the remainder of the scsi_get_lba() call sites.
Sometimes it is appropriate use sectors, in other cases logical blocks
are a better choice. For instance when printing something with a
reference tag given that the latter typically contains the lower 32
bits of the LBA.

The changes done in this series are also meant to facilitate removing
the request pointer from struct scsi_cmnd [2]. By removing several
references to struct request in the various drivers that transition
will now be easier.
