There is a 'ioprio' field in the BIO and the Request structure. check this priority field and set MPI_SCSIIO_CONTROL_HEADOFQ to pass down I/O priority. An enhancement to the LSI Disk Array Controller firmware is being developed to look at the Head Of Queue bit to allow I/Os with the HOQ bit set to be processed before I/Os which do not have the HOQ bit set. In order to set the HOQ bit, the mpt fusion driver needs to look at the 'ioprio' field in the request structure associated with the scsi command. Signed-off-by:

The mac_esp PIO algorithm no longer works in 2.6.31 and crashes my Centris 660av. So here's a better one. Also, force async with esp_set_offset() rather than esp_slave_configure(). One of the SCSI drives I tested still doesn't like the PIO mode and fails with "esp: esp0: Reconnect IRQ2 timeout" (the same drive works fine in PDMA mode). This failure happens when esp_reconnect_with_tag() tries to read in two tag bytes but the chip only provides one (0x20). I don't know what causes this. I decided not to waste any more time trying to fix it because the best solution is to rip out the PIO mode altogether and use the DMA engine. Signed-off-by:

Currently dev_loss_tmo is capped by SCSI_DEVICE_BLOCK_MAX_TIMEOUT. This causes problem with multipathing when the 'no_path_retry' setting exceeds the dev_loss_tmo setting, as then the system might run into a deadlock when all paths have been removed temporarily for longer than dev_loss_tmo. The principal reasons for the capping has been that we should not allow a remote port to remain in status 'blocked' indefinitely, so the capping is there to ensure that the port status is being reset eventually. However, the fast_io_fail_tmo will also move the remote port out of the 'blocked' state, so for any HBA driver implementing both the capping should really be on the fast_io_fail_tmo, and not on the dev_loss_tmo. This patch implements just that, ie the fast_io_fail_tmo is capped to SCSI_DEVICE_BLOCK_TIMEOUT and the capping is removed from dev_loss_tmo when fast_io_fail_tmo is set. This allows us to synchronize the dev_loss_tmo setting to the 'no_path_retry' setting from multipathing thus avoiding the deadlock. Signed-off-by:

The hardware used with zfcp provides a timer for CT and ELS requests instead of an abort capability for these commands. To correctly handle the FC BSG timeouts, pass the timeout from the BSG requests to the hardware. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a zfcp callback for timeouts triggered from FC BSG. With zfcp, the underlying hardware cannot abort CT or ELS requests, so there is nothing to do when the block layer timeout expires. To avoid interference with the block layer timeout, simply indicate that the block layer timer should be reset. The timer running in the hardware for the pending CT or ELS request will return the request when it expires. Signed-off-by:

The hardware used with zfcp cannot abort a currently pending CT or ELS request. Therefore we need the option to postpone the timeout triggered request abort within the fc layer, since there is nothing zfcp can do to stop the request at this point.

The patch "zfcp: Simplify handling of ct and els requests" accidentally removed the call to zfcp_fc_wka_port_put for FC CT BSG requests, thus not issuing a "close" request for the WKA ports. Introduce a CT specific handler to first call zfcp_fc_wka_port_put and then continue with the generic handler when returning from FC CT BSG requests. Reviewed-by:

The 32bit kernel does not add padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure whereas the 64bit kernel adds padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure. Due to this, structure elements gets mismatched with 32bit application and 64bit kernel.To resolve this, used packed modifier to avoid adding padding bytes. Signed-off-by:

Because of the terrible structuring of scsi-bidi-commands it breaks some of the life time rules of a scsi-command. It is now not allowed to free up the block-request before cleanup and partial deallocation of the scsi-command. (Which is not so for none bidi commands) The right fix to this problem would be to make bidi command a first citizen by allocating a scsi_sdb pointer at scsi command just like cmd->prot_sdb. The bidi sdb should be allocated/deallocated as part of the get/put_command (Again like the prot_sdb) and the current decoupling of scsi_cmnd and blk-request should be kept. For now make sure scsi_release_buffers() is called before the call to blk_end_request_all() which might cause the suicide of the block requests. At best the leak of bidi buffers, at worse a crash, as there is a race between the existence of the bidi_request and the free of the associated bidi_sdb. The reason this was never hit before is because only OSD has the potential of doing asynchronous bidi commands. (So does bsg but it is never used) And OSD clients just happen to do all their bidi commands synchronously, up until recently. CC: Stable Tree <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Since commit 9d2e9d66 mptsas driver fails to allocate memory for the MPT chain buffers for second LSI adapter on PPC440SPe Katmai platform: ... ioc1: LSISAS1068E B3: Capabilities={Initiator} mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - Unable to allocate Reply, Request, Chain Buffers! mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - didn't initialize properly! (-3) mptsas: probe of 0002:31:00.0 failed with error -3 This commit increased MPT_FC_CAN_QUEUE value but initChainBuffers() doesn't differentiate between SAS and FC causing increased allocation for SAS case, too. Later pci_alloc_consistent() fails to allocate increased chain buffer pool size for SAS case. Provide a fix by looking at the bus type and using appropriate MPT_SAS_CAN_QUEUE value while calculation of the number of chain buffers. Signed-off-by:

These particular problems were reported by Cisco and SAP and customers as well. Cisco reported on RHEL4 U6 and SAP reported on SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2. We added these fixes on RHEL4 U6 and gave a private build to IBM and Cisco. Cisco and IBM tested it for more than 15 days and they reported that they did not see the issue so far. Before the fix, Cisco used to see the issue within 5 days. We generated a patch for SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2 and submitted to Novell. Novell applied the patch and gave a test build to SAP. SAP tested and reported that the build is working properly. We also tested in our lab using the tools "dishogsync", which is IO stress tool and the tool was provided by Cisco. Issue1: File System going into read-only mode Root cause: The driver tends to not free the memory (FIB) when the management request exits prematurely. The accumulation of such un-freed memory causes the driver to fail to allocate anymore memory (FIB) and hence return 0x70000 value to the upper layer, which puts the file system into read only mode. Fix details: The fix makes sure to free the memory (FIB) even if the request exits prematurely hence ensuring the driver wouldn't run out of memory (FIBs). Issue2: False Raid Alert occurs When the Physical Drives and Logical drives are reported as deleted or added, even though there is no change done on the system Root cause: Driver IOCTLs is signaled with EINTR while waiting on response from the lower layers. Returning "EINTR" will never initiate internal retry. Fix details: The issue was fixed by replacing "EINTR" with "ERESTARTSYS" for mid-layer retries. Signed-off-by:

Fix divide by zero and broken output. Commit 600ce1a0 ("fix clock setting for Samsung SoC Framebuffer") introduced a mandatory refresh parameter to the platform data for the S3C framebuffer but did not introduce any validation code, causing existing platforms (none of which have refresh set) to divide by zero whenever the framebuffer is configured, generating warnings and unusable output. Ben Dooks noted several problems with the patch: - The platform data supplies the pixclk directly and should already have taken care of the refresh rate. - The addition of a window ID parameter doesn't help since only the root framebuffer can control the pixclk. - pixclk is specified in picoseconds (rather than Hz) as the patch assumed. and suggests reverting the commit so do that. Without fixing this no mainline user of the driver will produce output. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't revert the correct bit] Signed-off-by:

Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

Fix the race between the truncation of a ramfs file and an attempt to make a shared mmap of region of that file. The problem is that do_mmap_pgoff() calls f_op->get_unmapped_area() to verify that the file region is made of contiguous pages and to find its base address - but there isn't any locking to guarantee this region until vma_prio_tree_insert() is called by add_vma_to_mm(). Note that moving the functionality into f_op->mmap() doesn't help as that is also called before vma_prio_tree_insert(). Instead make ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() grab nommu_region_sem whilst it does its checks. This means that this function will wait whilst mmaps take place. Signed-off-by:

In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a region that's in use by more than one VMA because: (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs). (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle by which to refer to the already existing region. (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also been split into two regions, each of usage 1. Signed-off-by: -

Commit c4caa778 ("file ->get_unmapped_area() shouldn't duplicate work of get_unmapped_area()") broke SYSV SHM for NOMMU by taking away the pointer to shm_get_unmapped_area() from shm_file_operations. Put it back conditionally on CONFIG_MMU=n. file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area() is used to find out the base address for a mapping of a mappable chardev device or mappable memory-based file (such as a ramfs file). It needs to be called prior to file->f_ops->mmap() being called. Signed-off-by:
