scsi: add a blacklist flag which enables VPD page inquiries

2014-07-25T21:16:41Z

Despite supporting modern SCSI features some storage devices continue to claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec. This is done for compatibility with legacy operating systems. Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that can be used to trigger VPD page inquiries on devices that are known to support them.

scsi: move the writeable field from struct scsi_device to struct scsi_cd

2014-07-25T21:16:41Z

We currently set the field in common code based on the device type, but then only use it in the cdrom driver which also overrides the value previously set in the generic code. Just leave this entirely to the CDROM driver to make everyones life simpler. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen

scsi: fix the {host,target,device}_blocked counter mess

2014-07-25T21:15:48Z

Seems like these counters are missing any sort of synchronization for updates, as a over 10 year old comment from me noted. Fix this by using atomic counters, and while we're at it also make sure they are in the same cacheline as the _busy counters and not needlessly stored to in every I/O completion. With the new model the _busy counters can temporarily go negative, so all the readers are updated to check for > 0 values. Longer term every successful I/O completion will reset the counters to zero, so the temporarily negative values will not cause any harm. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K.

scsi: convert device_busy to atomic_t

2014-07-25T11:43:45Z

Avoid taking the queue_lock to check the per-device queue limit. Instead we do an atomic_inc_return early on to grab our slot in the queue, and if necessary decrement it after finishing all checks. Unlike the host and target busy counters this doesn't allow us to avoid the queue_lock in the request_fn due to the way the interface works, but it'll allow us to prepare for using the blk-mq code, which doesn't use the queue_lock at all, and it at least avoids a queue_lock round trip in scsi_device_unbusy, which is still important given how busy the queue_lock is.

scsi: use 64-bit LUNs

2014-07-17T20:07:37Z

The SCSI standard defines 64-bit values for LUNs, and large arrays employing large or hierarchical LUN numbers become more and more common. So update the linux SCSI stack to use 64-bit LUN numbers.

[SCSI] Add EVPD page 0x83 and 0x80 to sysfs

2014-03-27T15:25:33Z

EVPD page 0x83 is used to uniquely identify the device. So instead of having each and every program issue a separate SG_IO call to retrieve this information it does make far more sense to display it in sysfs. Some older devices (most notably tapes) will only report reliable information in page 0x80 (Unit Serial Number). So export this in the sysfs attribute 'vpd_pg80'.

[SCSI] fix our current target reap infrastructure

2014-03-15T17:18:59Z

This patch eliminates the reap_ref and replaces it with a proper kref. On last put of this kref, the target is removed from visibility in sysfs. The final call to scsi_target_reap() for the device is done from __scsi_remove_device() and only if the device was made visible. This ensures that the target disappears as soon as the last device is gone rather than waiting until final release of the device (which is often too long).
