[PATCH 3.12 78/88] SCSI: Increase REPORT_LUNS timeout

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

 



From: Brian King <brking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit b39c9a661b9bc77e064cade26cf913a1d4255d55 upstream.

This patch fixes an issue seen with an IBM 2145 (SVC) where, following an error
injection test which results in paths going offline, when they came
back online, the path would timeout the REPORT_LUNS issued during the
scan. This timeout situation continued until retries were expired, resulting in
falling back to a sequential LUN scan. Then, since the target responds
with PQ=1, PDT=0 for all possible LUNs, due to the way the sequential
LUN scan code works, we end up adding 512 LUNs for each target, when there
is really only a small handful of LUNs that are actually present.

This patch increases the timeout used on the REPORT_LUNS to 30 seconds.
This patch solves the issue of 512 non existent LUNs showing up after
this event.
