Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer
de25deb180 upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

Fix this by removing the event filter. It's pretty much broken at the

proper fix will be to make the event discriminator distinguish between
AN and Polled media change events.

The original code would incorrectly hardcode ELS timeout values
rather than using the traditional '2 * r_a_tov' value. In some
cases, the hardcoded values would be larger than the
mailbox-command-timeout and result in a needless BIG_HAMMER (ISP
reset), the typical recovery mechanism employed in such cases.
The second defect in the original code was in the assignment of
the default 'ha->r_a_tov' to twice the traditional value.
Correct this by setting the value to 10 seconds.

The recent patch named:
[SCSI] gdth: !use_sg cleanup and use of scsi accessors
has done a bad job in handling internal commands issued by gdth_execute().
Internal commands are issued with device gdth_cmd_str ready made directly
to the card, without any mapping or translations of scsi commands. So here
I added a gdth_cmd_str pointer to the gdth_cmndinfo private structure which
is then copied directly to host.
following this patch is a cleanup that removes the home cooked accessors
and reverts them to regular scsi_cmnd accessors. Since they are not used
anymore. After review maybe the 2 patches should be squashed together.

This is a particularly nasty bug. The problem is that if any internal
ascb times out, currently we free it even though it's pending at the
sequencer. This results in the sequencer getting terminally confused
and the error message:
BUG:sequencer:dl:no ascb
Being returned when it comes back. The way to fix this is to manage
freeing the ascb from the tasklet completion routine, so that we only
free it when the sequencer actually returns it. The code is also
altered to use on stack completions and transfer variables.

Once the phy reset is plumbed in properly, SATA error handling fails
nastily because we change the port attached_sas_address using the WWN
field of the IDENTIFY message. This is a nice thing to do in theory,
but it really destroys hotplug because any event on the port causes an
automatic mismatch between the sas_address the phy just picked up and
the one we propagate into the port. However ugly they are, we have to
stick with the sas addresses made up by the phys and expanders.
Also does a few cosmetic changes to the way port printing is done to
make it clearer how a port is formed.
