- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
could function without a request attached. So clean that up.
- Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.
- Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
and is reflected in the patch below is.
MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
as per the SCSI standard and is not related
to the implementation.
BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level
- I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.
(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

Currently, if the barrier command fails, the error return isn't seen
by the block layer and it proceeds on regardless. The problem is that
SCSI always returns no error for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC ... it expects the
submitter to pick the errors out of req->errors, which the block
barrier functions don't do.
Since it appears that the way SG_IO and scsi_execute_request() work
they discard the block error return and always use req->errors, the
best fix for this is to have the SCSI layer return an error to block
if one actually occurred (this also allows us to filter out spurious
errors, like deferred sense).
This patch is a bug fix that will need backporting to stable, but it's
also quite a big change and in need of testing, so we'll incubate in
the main kernel tree and backport at the -rc2 or so stage if no
problems turn up.

With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend
requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two
sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches
the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size
is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.
Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can
handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.
So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is
used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original
request size should be fed to the controller or device.

When sending a SCSI command to a tape drive via the SCSI Generic (sg)
driver, if the command has a data transfer length more than
scatter_elem_sz (32 KB default) and not a multiple of 512, then I either
hit BUG_ON(!valid_dma_direction(direction)) in dma_unmap_sg() or else
the command never completes (depending on the LLDD).
When constructing scatterlists, the sg driver rounds up the scatterlist
element sizes to be a multiple of 512. This can result in
sum(scatterlist lengths) > bufflen. In this case, scsi_req_map_sg()
incorrectly sets bio->bi_size to sum(scatterlist lengths) rather than to
bufflen. When the command completes, req_bio_endio() detects that
bio->bi_size != 0, and so it doesn't call bio_endio(). This causes the
command to be resubmitted, resulting in BUG_ON or the command never
completing.
This patch makes scsi_req_map_sg() set bio->bi_size to bufflen rather
than to sum(scatterlist lengths), which fixes the problem.

This is a one-line patch to add the following to __scsi_alloc_queue():
dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary);
This is the simplest approach but the result looks odd,
__scsi_alloc_queue() does:
blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, shost->dma_boundary);
dma_set_seg_boundary(dev, shost->dma_boundary);
blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev));
I think that it would be better to set up segment boundary in the same
way as we did for the maximum segment size. That is, removing
shost->dma_boundary and LLDs call pci_set_dma_seg_boundary (or its
friends).
Then __scsi_alloc_queue() can set up both limits in the same way:
blk_queue_segment_boundary(q, dma_get_seg_boundary(dev));
blk_queue_max_segment_size(q, dma_get_max_seg_size(dev));
killing dma_boundary in scsi_host_template needs a large patch for

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

Some SCSI tape medium changers that need the BLIST_SINGLELUN flag have
the medium changer at one LUN and the tape drive at a different LUN.
The inquiry string of the tape drive may be different from that of the
medium changer. In order for single_lun to be effective, every
scsi_device under a given scsi_target must have it set. This means that
there needs to be a blacklist entry for BOTH the medium changer AND the
tape drive, which is impractical because some medium changers may be
paired with a variety of different tape drive models. It makes more
sense to put the single_lun flag in scsi_target instead of scsi_device,
which causes every device at a given target ID to inherit the single_lun
flag from one LUN. This makes it possible to blacklist just the medium
changer and not the tape drive.

This reverts commit ac40532ef0, which gets
us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283.
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283 is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

One of the intents of the block prep function was to allow ULDs to use
it for preprocessing. The original SCSI model was to have a single prep
function and add a pointer indirect filter to build the necessary
commands. This patch reverses that, does away with the init_command
field of the scsi_driver structure and makes ULDs attach directly to the
prep function instead. The value is really that it allows us to begin
to separate the ULDs from the SCSI mid layer (as long as they don't use
any core functions---which is hard at the moment---a ULD doesn't even

A BUSY status returned on a write request results in a stale residual
being returned when the write ultimately successfully completes.
This can be reproduced as follows:
1) issue immediate mode rewind to scsi tape drive
2) issue write request
The tape drive returns busy. The low level driver detects underrun and
sets the residual into the scsi command. The low level driver responds
with (DID_OK << 16) | scsi_status. scsi_status is 8, hence
status_byte(result) == 4, i.e., BUSY.
scsi_softirq_done() calls scsi_decide_disposition() which returns
ADD_TO_MLQUEUE. scsi_softirq_done() then calls scsi_queue_insert()
which, on the way to resubmitting the request to the driver, calls
scsi_init_cmd_errh().
The attached patch modifies scsi_init_cmd_errh() to clear the resid
field. This prevents a "stale" residual from being returned when the
scsi command finally completes without a BUSY status.
