SCSI host lock push-down

2010-11-16T21:33:23+00:00

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

[SCSI] libsas: Don't issue commands to devices that have been hot-removed

2010-10-08T21:03:42+00:00

sd will get hung up issuing commands to flush write cache if a SAS
device behind the expander is unplugged without warning.  Change libsas
to reject commands to domain devices that have already gone away.

[SCSI] libsas: fix NCQ mixing with non-NCQ

2010-10-07T22:06:03+00:00

Some cards (like mvsas) have issue troubles if non-NCQ commands are
mixed with NCQ ones.  Fix this by using the libata default NCQ check
routine which waits until all NCQ commands are complete before issuing
a non-NCQ one.  The impact to cards (like aic94xx) which don't need
this logic should be minimal

block: remove spurious uses of REQ_HARDBARRIER

2010-09-10T10:35:36+00:00

REQ_HARDBARRIER is deprecated.  Remove spurious uses in the following
users.  Please note that other than osdblk, all other uses were
already spurious before deprecation.

* osdblk: osdblk_rq_fn() won't receive any request with
  REQ_HARDBARRIER set.  Remove the test for it.

* pktcdvd: use of REQ_HARDBARRIER in pkt_generic_packet() doesn't mean
  anything.  Removed.

* aic7xxx_old: Setting MSG_ORDERED_Q_TAG on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
  spurious.  Removed.

* sas_scsi_host: Setting TASK_ATTR_ORDERED on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
  spurious.  Removed.

* scsi_tcq: The ordered tag path wasn't being used anyway.  Removed.

[SCSI] Unify SAM_ and SAM_STAT_ macros

2010-07-28T14:07:49+00:00

We have two separate definitions for identical constants with nearly the
same name.  One comes from the generic headers in scsi.h; the other is
an enum in libsas.h ... it's causing confusion about which one is
correct (fortunately they both are).

Fix this by eliminating the libsas.h duplicate

libata: kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED

2010-05-18T02:49:02+00:00

ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is only used by drivers which don't use
->error_handler framework and is largely broken.  Its only meaningful
function is to make irq handlers skip processing if the flag is set,
which is largely useless and even harmful as it makes those ports more
likely to cause IRQ storms.

Kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED and makes the callers disable attached devices
instead.  ata_port_probe() and ata_port_disable() which manipulate the
flag are also killed.

This simplifies condition check in IRQ handlers.  While updating IRQ
handlers, remove ap NULL check as libata guarantees consecutive port
allocation (unoccupied ports are initialized with dummies) and
long-obsolete ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE check (checked by ata_qc_from_tag()).
