665b44aee3 [SCSI] iscsi: dequeue all buffers from queue
debugged by wrwhitehead@novell.com
patch and analysis by fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp

Only tcp_read_sock and recv_actor (iscsi_tcp_data_recv for us) see
desc.count. It is is used just for permitting tcp_read_sock to read
the portion of data in the socket.

When iscsi_tcp_data_recv sees a partial header, it sets
desc.count. However, it is possible that the next skb (containing the
rest of the header) still does not come. So I'm not sure that this
scheme is completely correct.

Ideally, we should use the exact length of the data in the socket for
desc.count. However, it is not so simple (see SIOCINQ in
tcp_ioctl). So I think that iscsi_tcp_data_recv can just stop playing
with desc.count and tell tcp_read_sock to read the all skbs. As
proposed already, if iscsi_tcp_data_ready sets desc.count to
non-zero, tcp_read_sock does that.

8d2860b3c3 [SCSI] iscsi: increment expstatsn during login
debugged by Ming and Rohan:

The problem Ming and Rohan debugged was that during a normal session
login, open-iscsi is not incrementing the exp_statsn counter. It was
stuck at zero. From the RFC, it looks like if the login response PDU has
a successful status then we should be incrementing that value. Also from
the RFC, it looks like if when we drop a connection then reconnect, we
should be using the exp_statsn from the old connection in the next
relogin attempt.

30a6c65236 [SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi eh
The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath
and performs some extra task management functions when they
are not needed.

The attached patch:

- Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt
then we do not send aborts.

- Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would
return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything
yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR.

- If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try
and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout
we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command
timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a
command to go from one patch to another. For network problems
we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set
scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to
try on another path.

- And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously
if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code
in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient
or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin
to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler
is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be
adding to that for qla4xxx.

fd7255f51a [SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up
For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we
need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it
iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that
process is matching a session running the kernel with the
iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch
adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide
them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport
class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

b5c7a12dc2 [SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connection
from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu

hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
"iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
the session and connection.

Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
have the HW available to us so we could only guess.

Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

ac2b898ca6 [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

and err path fixup from:
ogerlitz@voltaire.com

This patch cleans up that interface by having the lld and class
pass a iscsi_cls_session or iscsi_cls_conn between each other when
the function is used by HW and SW iscsi llds. This way the lld
does not have to remember if it has to send a handle or pointer
and a handle or pointer to connection, session or host.

This also has the class verify the session handle that gets passed from
userspace instead of using the pointer passed into the kernel directly.

a1e80c20e1 [SCSI] iscsi: use pageslab
From: FUJITA Tomonori <tomof@acm.org> and zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com:

We cannot handle filesystems like XFS becuase of the pages they
are sending us. We had thought page_count could be used to
work around this, but the correct test is for PageSlab.

The proper solution is to figure out what type of pages
filesystems can use so we do not have to add tests like
this or handle it in the block layer for all network block drivers
but the issue still has not been resolved on fs-devel
so we are sending this patch as a temporary fix.

This is last patch just in case it is Nakd with the explanation
that we need to push the correct fix through fs-devel, mm
or the block layer. The rest of the patchset can live without
the patch, but the driver will not work with filesystems like
XFS.

7b8631b53b [SCSI] iscsi: seperate iscsi interface from setup functions
This is the second version of the patch to address Christoph's comments.
Instead of doing the lib, I just kept everything in scsi_trnapsort_iscsi.c
like the FC and SPI class. This was becuase the driver model and sysfs
class is tied to the session and connection setup so separating did not
buy very much at this time.

The reason for this patch was becuase HW iscsi LLDs like qla4xxx cannot
use the iscsi class becuase the scsi_host was tied to the interface and
class code. This patch just seperates the session from scsi host so
that LLDs that allocate the host per some resource like pci device
can still use the class.

This is also fixes a couple refcount bugs that can be triggered
when users have a sysfs file open, close the session, then
read or write to the file.

Users can write to a page while we are sending it and making
digest calculations. This ends up causing us to retry the command
when a digest error is later reported. By using sock_no_sendpage
when data digests are calculated we can avoid a lot of (not all but it

b13941f635 [SCSI] iscsi: nodelay fix
From: tomof@acm.org

I'm not sure about this. I don't think that NODELAY option hurts
performance. However, open-iscsi does not use MSG_MORE properly with
sendpage, so NODELAY option hurts the open-iscsi performance.

I've attached a patch to fix NODELAY and MSG_MORE problems and the
write performance results with disktest.

I use Opteron boxes connected directly, Chelsio NICs, 1500-byte MTU,
64 KB I/O size, and the iSCSI parameters on open-iscsi web site.

With only NODELAY fix, the performance drops, as you said. On the
other hand, NODELAY and MSG_MORE fixes improve the performance
overall.
