Note, the patches mailed with this update only include the libsas patches that have been revised since v2, and the isci updates that were dependent on these changes. For the full set in proper order see the current state of the 'libsas' branch in isci.git (commit c3766a3): git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/isci.git libsas ...full diffstat below. Although hot-plug / error handling operation is improved with these changes there are still problems (like the backtrace from the v2 message), the need to better handle the fail-to-transmit-fis case (as noted by Jack), and more fallout from eh colliding with sdev end of life issues. However, those fixes are post 3.3-rc1 material. Changes since v2: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132460922902788&w=2 1/ "libsas: introduce sas_drain_work()": changed sas_drain_work() to use mutex_lock_interruptible(). With the change to route user requested reset requests through the host workqueue userspace can end up waiting a long time for sysfs triggered resets to complete. Certainly longer than 120 seconds as each sata device being managed may take 50 seconds for ata-eh to give up. So allow that wait to be interrupted, and prevent hung task timeouts from triggering. 2/ "libsas: remove ata_port.lock management duties from lldds": changed to disable interrupts while unlocking the ap->lock. We should be able to enable interrupts in sas_ata_qc_issue, but save that for a later patch (need to first downgrade all callers of ->qc_issue from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lock_irq). 3/ "libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing with ata error handling" since eh across an entire domain can take a large amount of time it isn't practical to hold up the libsas thread for that duration. Instead, just flush and disable domain revalidation during eh. Explanation of why this is likely safe added to sas_ata_strategy_handler() 4/ minor rebase updates to the other libsas patches to account for the above reworks 5/ isci updates to leverage the functionality and guarantees offered by the new libsas. Notably we defer all ata resets to be managed by libata and provide a lldd_ata_check_ready handler. Changes since v1: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132408929808366&w=2 1/ The changes to kernel/workqueue.c (to track unchained work during a drain_workqueue() operation) have been dropped. Instead this functionality has been pushed down into libsas. "[PATCH v2 07/28] libsas: introduce sas_drain_work()" 2/ Extended "[PATCH v2 09/28] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing with ata error handling" to fix a deadlock encountered while removing a device. Since device removal issues cache-flush i/o it causes libsas to be dependent on the completion of eh which in turn means that libsas must not hold eh_mutex over a removal event. 3/ New patch "[PATCH v2 27/28] libsas: fix sas_find_local_phy(), take phy references" addresses hitting the BUG_ON(!exphy) in this routine. Nothing prevents eh from still being in flight after libsas has removed a device from the domain, so the BUG_ON is bogus. 4/ A small collection of dev->gone related fixups, patch 25, 26, and 28. 5/ Picked up a few acked-by and reviewed-by's from Jack, but did not include his tested-by across the set given the changes since v1. --- The following changes since commit 7061bba1da7acb837d6a982648a8306ddc9d7409: [SCSI] bfa: fix endian and bit field check bug (2011-12-12 23:48:08 +0400) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/isci.git libsas Dan Williams (33): libsas: remove unused ata_task_resp fields libsas: kill sas_slave_destroy libsas: fix domain_device leak libsas: fix leak of dev->sata_dev.identify_[packet_]device libsas: replace event locks with atomic bitops libsas: convert ha->state to flags libsas: introduce sas_drain_work() libsas: remove ata_port.lock management duties from lldds libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing with ata error handling libsas: use ->set_dmamode to notify lldds of NCQ parameters libsas: kill invocation of scsi_eh_finish_cmd from sas_ata_task_done libsas: close error handling vs sas_ata_task_done() race libsas: prevent double completion of scmds from eh libsas: fix timeout vs completion race libsas: let libata handle command timeouts libsas: defer SAS_TASK_NEED_DEV_RESET commands to libata libsas: use libata-eh-reset for sata rediscovery fis transmit failures libsas: perform sas-transport resets in shost->workq context libsas: execute transport link resets with libata-eh via host workqueue libsas: sas_phy_enable via transport_sas_phy_reset libsas: async ata-eh libsas: poll for ata device readiness after reset libsas: don't mark expanders as gone when a child device is removed libsas: check for 'gone' expanders in smp_execute_task() libsas: fix sas_find_local_phy(), take phy references libsas: don't recover 'gone' devices in sas_ata_hard_reset() isci: kill iphy->isci_port lookups isci: kill isci_port->status isci: fix interpretation of "hard" reset isci: stop interpreting ->lldd_lu_reset() as an ata soft-reset isci: ->lldd_ata_check_ready handler isci: remove bus and reset handlers isci: remove IDEV_EH hack to disable "discovery-time" ata resets Jeff Skirvin (2): libsas: Remove redundant phy state notification calls. libsas: add mutex for SMP task execution Documentation/scsi/libsas.txt | 15 - drivers/ata/libata-eh.c | 1 + drivers/ata/libata.h | 1 - drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx.h | 2 + drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_dev.c | 38 ++- drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_init.c | 5 +- drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_tmf.c | 9 +- drivers/scsi/isci/host.c | 8 +- drivers/scsi/isci/host.h | 19 +- drivers/scsi/isci/init.c | 13 +- drivers/scsi/isci/phy.c | 18 +- drivers/scsi/isci/phy.h | 1 - drivers/scsi/isci/port.c | 220 ++++++------ drivers/scsi/isci/port.h | 11 +- drivers/scsi/isci/remote_device.c | 32 +-- drivers/scsi/isci/remote_device.h | 7 +- drivers/scsi/isci/request.c | 198 +---------- drivers/scsi/isci/request.h | 9 +- drivers/scsi/isci/task.c | 158 ++------- drivers/scsi/isci/task.h | 40 -- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_ata.c | 685 +++++++++++++++-------------------- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_discover.c | 151 +++++++-- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_event.c | 89 +++++- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c | 107 ++++-- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_init.c | 192 +++++++++- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h | 73 ++-- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_phy.c | 12 +- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_port.c | 24 +- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c | 299 +++++++--------- drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_init.c | 1 - drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c | 11 +- drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_init.c | 1 - drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_sas.c | 29 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c | 59 +++- include/linux/libata.h | 1 + include/scsi/libsas.h | 59 ++-- include/scsi/sas_ata.h | 26 +- include/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.h | 12 +- 38 files changed, 1292 insertions(+), 1344 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
