2016-06-08scsi: fix race between simultaneous decrements of ->host_failedWei Fang1-2/+6
sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In this case, ->host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal. It will lead to permanently inequality between ->host_failed and ->host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO errors after that won't be handled. Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero ->host_busy after the strategy handler to fix this race.

2015-11-09st: allow debug output to be enabled or disabled via sysfsSeymour, Shane M1-1/+3
Change st driver to allow enabling or disabling debug output via sysfs file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag. Previously the only way to enable debug output was: 1. loading the driver with the module parameter debug_flag=1 2. an ioctl call (this method was also the only way to dynamically disable debug output). To use the ioctl you need a second tape drive (if you are actively testing the first tape drive) since a second process cannot open the first tape drive if it is in use. The this change is only functional if the value of the macro DEBUG in st.c is a non-zero value (which it is by default).

2015-06-02st: implement tape statisticsSeymour, Shane M1-0/+59
This patch implements tape statistics in the st module via sysfs. Current no statistics are available for tape I/O and there is no easy way to reuse the block layer statistics for tape as tape is a character device and does not have perform I/O in sector sized chunks (the size of the data written to tape can change). For tapes we also need extra stats related to things like tape movement (via other I/O). There have been multiple end users requesting statistics including AT&T (and some HP customers who have not given permission to be named). It is impossible for them to investigate any issues related to tape performance in a non-invasive way.

2015-03-05genirq: Remove the deprecated 'IRQF_DISABLED' request_irq() flag entirelyValentin Rothberg2-29/+0
The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37bed4 ("genirq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED from core code"). According to commit e58aa3d2d0cc ("genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the issuing device is still active. This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e., SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the definition and all remaining usages of this flag. There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel source: - The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions (including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged. The trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to any driver. - I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since it has already been removed in linux-next. - All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.

2014-11-27libsas: remove task_collector modeChristoph Hellwig1-78/+4
The task_collector mode (or "latency_injector", (C) Dan Willians) is an optional I/O path in libsas that queues up scsi commands instead of directly sending it to the hardware. It generall increases latencies to in the optiomal case slightly reduce mmio traffic to the hardware. Only the obsolete aic94xx driver and the mvsas driver allowed to use it without recompiling the kernel, and most drivers didn't support it at all.

2014-11-12scsi: don't set tagging state from scsi_adjust_queue_depthChristoph Hellwig1-8/+4
Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate, given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple untagged commands in the driver. Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling ->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at ->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now. Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type, and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win. Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

2014-11-12scsi: always assign block layer tags if enabledChristoph Hellwig1-37/+1
Allow a driver to ask for block layer tags by setting .use_blk_tags in the host template, in which case it will always see a valid value in request->tag, similar to the behavior when using blk-mq. This means even SCSI "untagged" commands will now have a tag, which is especially useful when using a host-wide tag map.
