2008-04-07[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functionsFUJITA Tomonori
This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG list and a linear buffer. - sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list - sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list, flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not used in performance critical path.

2008-04-07[SCSI] BusLogic: make FlashPoint support x86-32 onlyMatthew Wilcox
We've verified that there are 64 bit and endianness problems in the flashpoint driver. Reverse the logic of CONFIG_OMIT_FLASHPOINT (make it CONFIG_SCSI_FLASHPOINT) and make it depend on X86_32 so it can't appear for any other architectures. Long term, if someone chooses, they could make FlashPoint 64 bit compliant (it looks like its a question of fixing up the sizes in some of the packed descriptors) Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
2008-04-07[SCSI] zfcp: Fix handling for boxed port after physical closeChristof Schmitt
When a FSF physical close returns the status boxed, this means that another system already closed the port. For our system this is the same status as in the good path, we have to send the normal close. So, set the status for the boxed response to the same as for the good status.

2008-04-07[SCSI] zfcp: convert zfcp to use target reset and device reset handlerChristof Schmitt
[based on proposal from Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu>, this patch adds some simplifications to the handler functions] With the new target reset handler callback in the SCSI midlayer, the device reset handler in zfcp can be split in two parts. Now, zfcp does not have to track anymore whether the device supports LUN resets, so remove this flag and let the SCSI midlayer decide what to do. The device reset handler simply issues a LUN reset and the target reset handler a target reset.

2008-04-07[SCSI] scsi_error: add target reset handlerMike Christie
The problem is that serveral drivers are sending a target reset from the device reset handler, and if we have multiple devices a target reset gets sent for each device when only one would be sufficient. And if we do a target reset it affects all the commands on the target so the device reset handler code only cleaning up one devices's commands makes programming the driver a little more difficult than it should be. This patch adds a target reset handler, which drivers can use to send a target reset. If successful it cleans up the commands for a devices accessed through that starget.

2008-04-07[SCSI] aacraid: READ_CAPACITY_16 shouldn't trust allocation length in cdbFUJITA Tomonori
When aacraid spoofs READ_CAPACITY_16, it assumes that the data length in the sg list is equal to allocation length in cdb. But sg can put any value in scb so the driver needs to check both the data length in the sg list and allocation length in cdb. If allocation length is larger than the response length that the driver expects, it clears the data buffer in the sg list to zero but it doesn't need to do. Just setting resid is fine.

2008-04-06scsi: fix sense_slab/bio swapping livelockHugh Dickins
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 de25deb18016f66dcdede165d07654559bb332bc 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.

2008-04-04ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe orderCarol Hebert
In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery. So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system (e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.). The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c. Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are found on the system.

2008-04-04memory controller: make memory resource control aware of boot optionsBalbir Singh
A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the memory controller. By default the option is on for the following two reasons: 1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory controller turns on if the config option is enabled 2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config option is enabled We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource controller specific files.

2008-04-04cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot timePaul Menage
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
