Subject: scsi: virtio_scsi: Reject commands when virtqueue is broken
From: Eric Farman <farman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 773c7220e22d193e5667c352fcbf8d47eefc817f ]
In the case of a graceful set of detaches, where the virtio-scsi-ccw
disk is removed from the guest prior to the controller, the guest
behaves quite normally. Specifically, the detach gets us into
sd_sync_cache to issue a Synchronize Cache(10) command, which
immediately fails (and is retried a couple of times) because the device
has been removed. Later, the removal of the controller sees two CRWs
presented, but there's no further indication of the removal from the
guest viewpoint.
[ 17.217458] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
[ 17.219257] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
[ 21.449400] crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=1, rsc=3, anc=0, erc=4, rsid=2
[ 21.449406] crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=0, rsc=3, anc=0, erc=4, rsid=0
However, on s390, the SCSI disks can be removed "by surprise" when an
entire controller (host) is removed and all associated disks are removed
via the loop in scsi_forget_host. The same call to sd_sync_cache is
made, but because the controller has already been removed, the
Synchronize Cache(10) command is neither issued (and then failed) nor
rejected.
That the I/O isn't returned means the guest cannot have other devices
added nor removed, and other tasks (such as shutdown or reboot) issued
by the guest will not complete either. The virtio ring has already been
marked as broken (via virtio_break_device in virtio_ccw_remove), but we
still attempt to queue the command only to have it remain there. The
calling sequence provides a bit of distinction for us:
virtscsi_queuecommand()
-> virtscsi_kick_cmd()
-> virtscsi_add_cmd()
-> virtqueue_add_sgs()
-> virtqueue_add()
if success
return 0
elseif vq->broken or vring_mapping_error()
return -EIO
else
return -ENOSPC
A return of ENOSPC is generally a temporary condition, so returning
"host busy" from virtscsi_queuecommand makes sense here, to have it
redriven in a moment or two. But the EIO return code is more of a
permanent error and so it would be wise to return the I/O itself and
allow the calling thread to finish gracefully. The result is these four
kernel messages in the guest (the fourth one does not occur prior to
this patch):
[ 22.921562] crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=1, rsc=3, anc=0, erc=4, rsid=2
[ 22.921580] crw_info : CRW reports slct=0, oflw=0, chn=0, rsc=3, anc=0, erc=4, rsid=0
[ 22.921978] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
[ 22.921993] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
I opted to fill in the same response data that is returned from the more
graceful device detach, where the disk device is removed prior to the
controller device.
