Re: [PATCH 2/4] scsi: use 64-bit LUNs

Hi Hannes,

I like the idea and most of the patch set, so I only have a few questions left and some review comments below.

Just curious: Do you also plan to adapt systemd/udev, especially path_id for fc transport with its open coded copy of int_to_scsilun()?

Since I don't see zfcp touched in this patch set, assuming this set will get merged, I plan to adapt a few spots in zfcp that might not work with 64 bit luns out of the box although most of it already works with 64 bit luns inside.

Speaking of opaque handling of scsi luns: Lately I noticed that some sg3_utils tools decode the lun format and only report parts of the entire 64 bit fcp lun, e.g. sg_scan or "sg_luns -d". I don't have enough historical scsi experience to know why that is, maybe because of some SPI background. By itself this is not a problem, however, rescan-scsi-bus.sh makes use of those scsi lun parts and then fails when matching those with the full scsi lun exposed by the midlayer to user space. E.g. with flat space addresses of IBM DS8000 this does not seem to work:

# sg_luns -v -s2 -d /dev/sg2 | head
    report luns cdb: a0 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00
    report luns: requested 8192 bytes but got 4112 bytes
Lun list length = 4104 which imples 513 lun entries
Report luns [select_report=2]:
    c101000000000000
      REPORT LUNS well known logical unit
    4020400000000000
      Flat space addressing: lun=32
    4020400100000000
      Flat space addressing: lun=32
    4020400200000000
      Flat space addressing: lun=32
                                 ^^<=== 0x20 of the lun's 1st short

Did I overlook something or are rescan-scsi-bus.sh and maybe other tools really broken with some "modern" scsi targets?

Is it intentional that you did not adapt scsi_add_single_device(), scsi_remove_single_device(), proc_scsi_write() to cope with 64 bit luns?
(in the admittedly old and probably somewhat deprecated procfs interface; but then again, proc_print_scsidevice can output 64 bit luns now)

Since we use automatic base detection with the 3rd argument of simple_strtoull() being 0 in check_set() above, I think the user is free to specify the lun to scan for in decimal/octal/hex base for s3.
With 64 bits, couldn't this need a maximum of 20 decimal digits (plus '\0' termination) which is more than 16? I think this is a legitimate use case as long as the scsi lun is represented in decimal in sysfs so users might just have it from the h:c:t:l device name there.
While I don't think anyone would specify the lun in octal, it could even need 22 digits.
[Maximum number of digits is ceil(ln(2**64-1)/ln(base)) if I'm not mistaken.]

ditto

Is it OK, that the maximum lun 2**64-1 overlaps with SCAN_WILD_CARD==~0 from scsi.h?

I guess we cannot adapt sg_ioctl SG_GET_SCSI_ID that easily without breaking the user space interface. But how does a user of this interface know that there are 64 bit luns in the kernel but the ioctl cannot handle the new kernel functionality (and may be affected by aliasing)?
