After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

This patch adds the following functionality to the FC transport:
- dev_loss_tmo LLDD callback :
Called to essentially confirm the deletion of an rport. Thus, it is
called whenever the dev_loss_tmo fires, or when the rport is deleted
due to other circumstances (module unload, etc). It is expected that
the callback will initiate the termination of any outstanding i/o on
the rport.
- fast_io_fail_tmo and LLD callback:
There are some cases where it may take a long while to truly determine
device loss, but the system is in a multipathing configuration that if
the i/o was failed quickly (faster than dev_loss_tmo), it could be
redirected to a different path and completed sooner.

This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
It is a followup to the original RFC at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
and the initial posting at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2
The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
in the initial posting.
Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
which can then be used by all transports.
This patch:
- Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
base SCSI subsystem intialization.
Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
- Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
messages
- Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event #
fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
arbitrary amounts of data.
Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.
Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:

Original post was incorrect as it didn't realize that we already had
a self-referenc due to device_initialize(), and we were really only
missing the put on our own reference. This was hidden by the other bug
which had the midlayer reusing stargets after they were already free,
which was doing too many puts on our rport.
Updating FC transport for:
- Add put in fc_rport_final_delete(), to release the rport.
Prior, we were leaving the rport with a reference, thus the shost
with references, etc. If the driver was unloaded, shosts and rports
remained, along with work threads, etc
- Fix fc_rport_create failure path - too many put's on parent
- Add commenting to easily track ref taking.

In a prior posting to linux-scsi on the fc transport and workq
deadlocks, we noted a second error that did not have a patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114467847711383&w=2
- There's a deadlock where scsi_remove_target() has to sit behind
scsi_scan_target() due to contention over the scan_lock().
Subsequently we posted a request for comments about the deadlock:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114469358829500&w=2
This posting resolves the second error. Here's what we now understand,
and are implementing:
If the lldd deletes the rport while a scan is active, the sdev's queue
is blocked which stops the issuing of commands associated with the scan.
At this point, the scan stalls, and does so with the shost->scan_mutex held.
If, at this point, if any scan or delete request is made on the host, it
will stall waiting for the scan_mutex.
For the FC transport, we queue all delete work to a single workq.
So, things worked fine when competing with the scan, as long as the
target blocking the scan was the same target at the top of our delete
workq, as the delete workq routine always unblocked just prior to
requesting the delete. Unfortunately, if the top of our delete workq
was for a different target, we deadlock. Additionally, if the target
blocking scan returned, we were unblocking it in the scan workq routine,
which really won't execute until the existing stalled scan workq
completes (e.g. we're re-scheduling it while it is in the midst of its
execution).
This patch moves the unblock out of the workq routines and moves it to
the context that is scheduling the work. This ensures that at some point,
we will unblock the target that is blocking scan. Please note, however,
that the deadlock condition may still occur while it waits for the
transport to timeout an unblock on a target. Worst case, this is bounded
by the transport dev_loss_tmo (default: 30 seconds).
Finally, Michael Reed deserves the credit for the bulk of this patch,
analysis, and it's testing. Thank you for your help.
Note: The request for comments statements about the gross-ness of the
scan_mutex still stand.

As previously reported via Michael Reed, the FC transport took a hit
in 2.6.15 (perhaps a little earlier) when we solved a recursion error.
There are 2 deadlocks occurring:
- With scan and the delete items sharing the same workq, flushing the
workq for the delete code was getting it stalled behind a very long
running scan code path.
- There's a deadlock where scsi_remove_target() has to sit behind
scsi_scan_target() due to contention over the scan_lock().
This patch resolves the 1st deadlock and significantly reduces the
odds of the second. So far, we have only replicated the 2nd deadlock
on a highly-parallel SMP system. More on the 2nd deadlock in a following
email.
This patch reworks the transport to:
- Only use the scsi host workq for scanning
- Use 2 other workq's internally. One for deletions, the other for
scheduled deletions. Originally, we tried this with a single workq,
but the occassional flushes of the scheduled queues was hitting the
second deadlock with a slightly higher frequency. In the future, we'll
look at the LLDD's and the transport to see if we can get rid of this
extra overhead.
- When moving to the other workq's we tightened up some object states
and some lock handling.
- Properly syncs adds/deletes
- minor code cleanups
- directly reference fc_host_attrs, rather than through attribute
macros
- flush the right workq on delayed work cancel failures.
Large kudos to Michael Reed who has been working this issue for the last
month.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each
rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete"
workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of
rports that were on the link.
The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(),
which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item,
which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large.
This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it
off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the
reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild
them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were
odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be
torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the
rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the
rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport),
or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find
the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver
forgets).
It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly.
When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then
added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the
temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded).
Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making
the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport
handle the block/unblock.
So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock
functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the
fc_remote_port_add/delete functions. Updates for the lpfc driver are
included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the
contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are
relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does
not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does
not use the block/unblock functions.
One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is
concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical
disappearance. However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are
not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an
interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and
xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the
rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it
first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always
been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers
already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple
validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched.
To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready()
was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two
routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result
which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also
creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes
are occuring.

I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and

transport class. Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.
These changes are two fold
- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
return the corresponding class_device

We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on
the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the
system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which
inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by
the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport.
The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport()
routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer.
Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses:
- If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport,
we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent.
- We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both
the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport
(parent=rport).
