From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx> Hello Mike, hello Martin, here is v5 of my attempt to add retry logic to SG_IO on dm-multipath devices. Christoph's comment on v4 has been received, but as I'm still confused how to handle the SCSI result / blk_status_t conversion properly, and waiting for more guidance, I want to fix the nasty bug in v4 first. Regards Martin Changes v4->v5: - (2/3) Fixed bug in logical / bitwise and expression Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> Changes v3->v4 (thanks to Mike Snitzer): - Added an additional helper function sg_io_to_blk_status() to scsi_ioctl.c, in order to avoid open-coding handling of the SCSI result code in device-mapper. - Added a new method dm_sg_io_ioctl_fn() in struct target_type, define only by the multipath target. This allows moving the bulk of the new code to dm-mpath.c, and avoids the wrong limitation of the code to request-based multipath. Changes v2->v3: - un-inlined scsi_result_to_blk_status again, and move the helper __scsi_result_to_blk_status to block/scsi_ioctl.c instead (Bart v. Assche) - open-coded the status/msg/host/driver-byte -> result conversion where the standard SCSI helpers aren't usable (Bart v. Assche) Changes v1->v2: - applied modifications from Mike Snitzer - moved SG_IO dependent code to a separate file, no scsi includes in dm.c any more - made the new code depend on a configuration option - separated out scsi changes, made scsi_result_to_blk_status() inline to avoid dependency of dm_mod from scsi_mod (Paolo Bonzini) Martin Wilck (3): scsi: scsi_ioctl: export __scsi_result_to_blk_status() scsi: scsi_ioctl: add sg_io_to_blk_status() dm mpath: add CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_SG_IO - failover for SG_IO Martin Wilck (3): scsi: scsi_ioctl: export __scsi_result_to_blk_status() scsi: scsi_ioctl: add sg_io_to_blk_status() dm mpath: add CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_SG_IO - failover for SG_IO block/scsi_ioctl.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++- drivers/md/Kconfig | 11 ++++ drivers/md/dm-core.h | 5 ++ drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 105 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/md/dm.c | 26 ++++++++- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 24 +------- include/linux/blkdev.h | 4 ++ include/linux/device-mapper.h | 8 ++- 8 files changed, 226 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- 2.32.0
