It's unbearable for systems with large scale scsi devices share HBAs to block all devices' IOs when handle error commands, we need a new error handle mechanism to address this issue. I consulted about this issue a year ago, the discuss link can be found in refenence. Hannes replied about why we have to block the SCSI host then perform error recovery kindly. I think it's unnecessary to block SCSI host for all drivers and can try a small level recovery(LUN based for example) first to avoid block the SCSI host. The new error handle mechanism introduced in this patchset has been developed and tested with out self developed hardware since one year ago, now we want this mechanism can be used by more drivers. Drivers can decide if using the new error handle mechanism and how to handle error commands when scsi_device are scanned,the new mechanism makes SCSI error handle more flexible. SCSI error recovery strategy after blocking host's IO is mainly following steps: - LUN reset - Target reset - Bus reset - Host reset
Mike gave some suggestions and I found a bug in fallback logic, I would address these and resend in next few days.
Some drivers did not implement callbacks for host reset, it's unnecessary to block host's IO for these drivers. For example, smartpqi only registered device reset, if device reset failed, it's meaningless to fallback to target reset, bus reset or host reset any more, because these steps would also failed.

It's same for target based error handle, but target based error handle would block the scsi target's IO then try to recover the error commands of this target. The first patch defines basic framework to support LUN/target based error handle mechanism, three key operations are abstracted which are: - add error command - wake up error handle - block IOs when error command is added and recoverying. Drivers can implement these three function callbacks and setup to SCSI middle level; I also add a general LUN/target based error handle strategy which can be called directly from drivers to implement LUN/tartget based error handle. The changes of SCSI middle level's error handle are tested with scsi_debug which support single LUN error injection, the scsi_debug patches can be found in reference, following scenarios are tested.
