SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN if the page is currently being read. This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not. We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

If there's no feature-barrier key in xenstore, then it means its a fairly old backend which does uncached in-order writes, which means ORDERED_DRAIN is appropriate. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

When barriers are supported, then use QUEUE_ORDERED_TAG to tell the block subsystem that it doesn't need to do anything else with the barriers. Previously we used ORDERED_DRAIN which caused the block subsystem to drain all pending IO before submitting the barrier, which would be very expensive.

scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want). We need a workaround such as the commit 77a42297 to retry BLOCK_PC flush requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally. This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC. scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the callers don't. This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(), REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before. Note that basically, this reverts the commit 77a42297 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests.

the block layer doesn't set rq->cmd_type on flush requests. By definition, it should be REQ_TYPE_FS (the lower layers build a command and interpret the result of it, that is, the block layer doesn't know the details).

Jens, any reason why this isn't included in your for-2.6.36 yet? = From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS (the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC. scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be completed partially so we need to modify sd_done. This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).

cciss: separate cmd_alloc() and cmd_special_alloc() cmd_alloc() took a parameter which caused it to either allocate from a pre-allocated pool, or allocate using pci_alloc_consistent. This parameter is always known at compile time, so this would be better handled by breaking the function into two functions and differentiating the cases by function names. Same goes for cmd_free().

cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers -- that fit into one slot. It is possible to reset them independently, however, they share a battery backed cache module. One of the pair controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first one. If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will not be a happy camper. So we just forbid resetting this conjoined mess. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

cciss: sanitize max commands Some controllers might try to tell us they support 0 commands in performant mode. This is a lie told by buggy firmware. We have to be wary of this lest we try to allocate a negative number of command blocks, which will be treated as unsigned, and get an out of memory condition. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

cciss: Fix hard reset code. Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the PCI power state method of resetting the controllers. Instead, in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register. This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to "work". Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller does not reset, it remains in performant mode. The code immediately after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode (which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time). If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes it is in simple mode will not work. So the reset needs to be fixed. Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by either method. (eg. p800). We detect these cases by noticing that the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a reset has been attempted. In those cases we ignore the controller, as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions. To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if "reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that controller. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

We cannot read backend state within bdev operations, because it risks grabbing the state change before xenbus gets to do it. Fixed by tracking deferral with a frontend switch to Closing. State exposure isn't strictly necessary, but the backends won't mind. For a 'clean' deferral this seems actually a more decent protocol than raising errors.
