- 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

When a device changes its configuration ROM, it announces this with a
bus reset. firewire-core has to check which node initiated a bus reset
and whether any unit directories went away or were added on this node.
Tested with an IOI FWB-IDE01AB which has its link-on bit set if bus
power is available but does not respond to ROM read requests if self
power is off. This implements
- recognition of the units if self power is switched on after fw-core
gave up the initial attempt to read the config ROM,
- shutdown of the units when self power is switched off.
Also tested with a second PC running Linux/ieee1394. When the eth1394
driver is inserted and removed on that node, fw-core now notices the
addition and removal of the IPv4 unit on the ieee1394 node.

Try to write dual-phase retry protocol limits to BUSY_TIMEOUT register.
- The dual-phase retry protocol is optional to implement, and if not
supported, writes to the dual-phase portion of the register will be
ignored. We try to write the original 1394-1995 default here.
- In the case of devices that are also SBP-3-compliant, all writes are
ignored, as the register is read-only, but contains single-phase retry of
15, which is what we're trying to set for all SBP-2 device anyway, so this
write attempt is safe and yields more consistent behavior for all devices.

Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT
register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the
register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in
initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)).
Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to
starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should
default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops).
Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and
any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable
to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled
out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device.
The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all
devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did).
Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip
would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI
layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB
of data around.

Fix a kernel bug when unplugging an SBP-2 device after having its
scsi_device already removed via the "delete" sysfs attribute.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
While fw-sbp2 takes the necessary time to reconnect to a logical unit
after bus reset, the SCSI core keeps sending new commands. They are all
immediately completed with host busy status, and application clients or
filesystems will break quickly. The SCSI device might even be taken
offline: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9734
The only remedy seems to be to block the SCSI device until reconnect.
Alas the SCSI core has no useful API to block only one logical unit i.e.
the scsi_device, therefore we block the entire Scsi_Host. This
currently corresponds to an SBP-2 target. In case of targets with
multiple logical units, we need to satisfy the dependencies between
logical units by carefully tracking the blocking state of the target and
its units. We block all logical units of a target as soon as one of
them needs to be blocked, and keep them blocked until all of them are
ready to be unblocked.
Furthermore, as the history of the old sbp2 driver has shown, the
scsi_block_requests() API is a minefield with high potential of
deadlocks. We therefore take extra measures to keep logical units
unblocked during __scsi_add_device() and during shutdown.
This avoids I/O errors during reconnect in many but alas not in all
cases. There may still be errors after a re-login had to be performed.
Also, some bridges have been seen to cease fetching management ORBs if
I/O went on up until a bus reset. In these cases, all management ORBs
time out after mgt_orb_timeout. The old sbp2 driver is less vulnerable
or maybe not vulnerable to this, for as yet unknown reasons.

fw-sbp2 is unable to reconnect while performing __scsi_add_device
because there is only a single workqueue thread context available for
both at the moment. This should be fixed eventually.
An actual failure of __scsi_add_device is easy to handle, but an
incomplete execution of __scsi_add_device with an sdev returned would
remain undetected and leave the SBP-2 target unusable.
Therefore we use a workaround: If there was a bus reset during
__scsi_add_device (i.e. during the SCSI probe), we remove the new sdev
immediately, log out, and attempt login and SCSI probe again.

If fw-sbp2 was too late with requesting the reconnect, the target would
reject this. In this case, log out before attempting the reconnect.
Else several firmwares will deny the re-login because they somehow
didn't invalidate the old login.
Also, don't retry reconnects in this situation. The retries won't
succeed either.
These changes improve chances for successful re-login and shorten the
period during which the logical unit is inaccessible.

When a reconnect failed but re-login succeeded, __scsi_add_device was
called again.
In those cases, __scsi_add_device succeeded and returned the pointer to
the existing scsi_device. fw-sbp2 then continued orderly, except that
it missed to call sbp2_cancel_orbs. SCSI core would call fw-sbp2's
eh_abort_handler eventually if there had been an outstanding command.
This patch avoids the needless lookups and temporary allocations in SCSI
core and I/O stall and timeout until eh_abort_handler hits.
Also, __scsi_add_device tolerating calls for devices which already exist
is undocumented behavior on which we shouldn't rely.

AGENT_RESET to complete before proceeding (after login, after reconnect,

Several different SBP-2 bridges accept a login early while the IDE
device is still powering up. They are therefore unable to respond to
SCSI INQUIRY immediately, and the SCSI core has to retry the INQUIRY.
One of these retries is typically successful, and all is well.
But in case of Momobay FX-3A, the INQUIRY retries tend to fail entirely.
This can usually be avoided by waiting a little while after login before
letting the SCSI core send the INQUIRY. The old sbp2 driver handles
this more gracefully for as yet unknown reasons (perhaps because it
waits for fetch agent resets to complete, unlike fw-sbp2 which quickly
proceeds after requesting the agent reset). Therefore the workaround is
not as much necessary for sbp2.

This fixes a "can't recognize device" kind of bug.
If the SCSI INQUIRY failed and hence __scsi_add_device failed due to a
bus reset, we tried a logout and then waited for the already scheduled
login work to happen. So far so good, but the generation used for the
logout was outdated, hence the logout never reached the target. The
target might therefore deny the subsequent relogin attempt, which would
also leave the target inaccessible.
Therefore fetch a fresh device->generation for the logout. Use memory

Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of
1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates
reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login
and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s
after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target.
Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error
status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login.
All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target
which needs re-login is ready for I/O again.
The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored
by the target though. I found that we could get up to
- allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware
- 256s from LSI bridges
- 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges,
- 2s from TI bridges,
- only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from
Apple OpenFirmware in target mode.
We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few
HDDs on the same bus quite nicely.
A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border
case:
- two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to
a target,
- initiator 1 goes off the bus,
- target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold
seconds after bus reset.
An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize
fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.

Since patch "fw-sbp2: use an own workqueue (fix system responsiveness)"
increased parallelism between fw-sbp2 and fw-core, it was possible that
fw-sbp2 didn't release the SCSI device when the FireWire device was
disconnected.
This happened if sbp2_update() ran during sbp2_login(), because a bus
reset occurred during sbp2_login(). The sbp2_login() work would [try
to] reschedule itself because it failed due to the bus reset, and it
would _not_ drop its reference on the target. However, sbp2_update()
would schedule sbp2_login() too before sbp2_login() rescheduled itself
and hence sbp2_update() would take an additional reference. And then
we would have one reference too many.
The fix is to _always_ drop the reference when leaving the sbp2_login()
work. If the sbp2_login() work reschedules itself, it takes a
reference, but only if it wasn't already rescheduled by sbp2_update().
Ditto in the sbp2_reconnect() work.
The resulting code is actually simpler than before: We _always_ take
a reference when successfully scheduling work. And we _always_ drop
a reference when leaving a workqueue job. No exceptions.

Firewire-sbp2 did very uncooperative things in the kernel's shared
workqueue: Sleeping until reception of management status from the
target for up to 2 seconds, and performing SCSI inquiry and all of the
setup of SCSI command set drivers via scsi_add_device. If there were
transient or permanent error conditions, this caused long blockage of
the kernel's events process, noticeable e.g. by blocked keyboard input.
We now allocate a workqueue process exclusive to fw-sbp2. As a side
effect, this also increases parallelism of fw-sbp2's login and reconnect
work versus fw-core's device discovery and device update work which is
performed in the shared workqueue.
