2008-02-07[SCSI] qla4xxx: add async scan supportMike Christie
qla4xxx has the old school startup/probe where it finds presetup sessions in its flash and then attempts to log into them before returning from the probe. This however, makes it very simple to add a iscsi class scan finished helper which the driver can use. In future patches Dave or I will rip apart the driver to make it more like qla2xxx, but for now this is a very simple two line patch which fixes the problem of trying to figure out when the initial sessions are done being scanned.

2008-02-07[SCSI] qla4xxx: fix recovery timer and session unblock raceMike Christie
If qla4xxx is resetting up a session and the recovery timer fires we do not want to just set it to dead, because the dpc thread could have just set it to online and is in the middle of resetting it up.

2008-02-07[SCSI] qla4xxx: directly call iscsi recovery functionsMike Christie
Qla4xxx can just call the iscsi recovery functions directly. There is no need for userspace to do this for qla4xxx, because we do not use the mutex to iterate over devices anymore and iscsi_block /unblock_session can be called from interrupt context or the dpc thread. And having userspace do this just creates uneeded headaches for qla4xxx root situations where the session may experience problems. For example during the kernel shutdown the scsi layer wants to send sync caches, but at this time userspace is not up (iscsid is not running), so we cannot recover from the problem.

2008-01-30[SCSI] remove use_sg_chainingJames Bottomley
With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so there's no need to have a check in the host template. Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not to be a power of two.

2008-01-28[ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().Michael Chan
print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated. format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi driver. Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs, qla4xxx and others in the future. Both print_mac() and sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting. Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with net_device struct's dev_addr. Added buffer length overrun checking as suggested by Joe Perches.

2008-01-11[SCSI] libiscsi: fix shutdownMike Christie
We were using the device delete sysfs file to remove each device then logout. Now in 2.6.21 this will not work because the sysfs delete file returns immediately and does not wait for the device removal to complete. This causes a hang if a cache sync is needed during shutdown. Before .21, that approach had other problems, so this patch fixes the shutdown code so that we remove the target and unbind the session before logging out and shut down the session Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2007-06-02[SCSI] iscsi class, iscsi_tcp, iser, qla4xxx: add netdevname sysfs attrMike Christie
iSCSI must support software iscsi (iscsi_tcp, iser), hardware iscsi (qla4xxx), and partial offload (broadcom). To be able to allow each stack or driver or port (virtual or physical) to be able to log into the same target portal we use the initiator tuple [[HWADDRESS | NETDEVNAME], INITIATOR_NAME] and the target tuple [TARGETNAME, CONN_ADDRESS, CONN_PORT] to id a session. This patch adds the netdev name, which is used by software iscsi when it binds a session to a netdevice using the SO_BINDTODEVICE sock opt. It cannot use HWADDRESS because if someone did vlans then the same netdevice will have the same mac and the initiator,target id will not be unique.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.
