[PATCHSET] libata: various fixes related to EH, take #3

[PATCHSET] libata: various fixes related to EH, take #3

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Jeff.

This patchset is what's left of the previous take [1].  From the
previous take, patch #9 and #10 were rejected and #11 and #13 were
accepted but failed to apply due to the earlier rejection.  I still
think patch #9 and #10 are correct and gave my rationale in the
original thread [2].

This patchset contains those same patches - #9, #10, #11 and #13, but
they have been reordered to ease integration.  #11 and #13 are now at
the head.

Thanks.

[PATCH 4/4] libata: kill NULL qc handling from ->eng_timeout callbacks

[Tejun Heo]

->eng_timeout is not invoked with NULL qc anymore.  Kill NULL qc
handling from all ->eng_timeout callbacks.

[PATCH 1/4] libata: implement ATA_FLAG_IN_EH port flag

[Tejun Heo]

ATA_FLAG_IN_EH flag is set on entry to EH and cleared on completion.
This patch just sets and clears the flag.  Following patches will
build normal qc execution / EH synchronization aroung this flag.

[PATCH 3/4] libata: fix handling of race between timeout and completion

[Tejun Heo]

If a qc completes after SCSI timer expires but before libata EH kicks
in, the qc gets completed but the scsicmd still gets passed to libata
EH resulting in ->eng_timeout invocation with NULL qc.  Currently none
of ->eng_timeout callbacks handles this properly.  This patch makes
ata_scsi_error() bypass ->eng_timeout and handle this rare case.

OK in general (I acknowledge the problem you point out), but NAK for

OK in general, but I disagree with the handling of the qc==NULL case.

If you hit the "if scsi timer already fired" shortcut in scsi_done(), 
that demonstrates clear intent to complete the scsi command.  Thus, when 
libata EH handling starts, our only task for that scsi command is to 
complete it.

Signalling an aborted command stomps all over the current, valid SCSI 
command results.

As a side note, this area of code is part of the reason why I was 
thinking I wanted ...FLAG_EH_TIMEOUT.  My thought was that libata sets 
that in ->eh_timed_out(). ata_qc_complete() would check that flag, and 
refuse to call __ata_qc_complete() if it was set.  Doing so causes both 
the qc and the scsi command to be completed inside the EH handler.  But 
that's just an off-the-cuff thought...

Good day, Jeff.

I tried that but the problem is that if scsi timeout expires and then qc 
completes before eh kicks in, we lost some of completion information and 
thus I figured aborting (thus retrying) the commands is the way to go, 
but you're right.  The scsi status and stuff are recorded in scmd and we 
should honor those.  Thanks for pointing out.

Hmmm... right.  I'm not very sure about how the synchronization should 
be done, but if it can be done that way, that sounds much better than my 
dangling scmd handling hack.  I'll give it a try.

[PATCHSET] libata: various fixes related to EH, take #4

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Jeff.

This patchset is the fourth take of 'various fixes related to EH'
patchset.  From the previous take[1], %01 and %02 made into the tree
and %03 got nacked and #04 acked but didn't make into the tree due to
dependency to %03.  (% denotes patch numbers in the previous take, #
in this take)

Changes from the last take.

* %03 reimplemented using sht->eh_timed_out() callback as Jeff
  suggested[2].

* assert(ata_qc_from_tag(ap, ap->active_tag)) is added to
  ata_scsi_error() in patch %04.

This patchset contains the following patches.

#01-03	: implement and use ata_scsi_timed_out()
#04	: kill NULL qc handling and add above described assertion

I used ATA_QCFLAG_EH_SCHEDULED instead of ATA_QCFLAG_TIMEOUT because
the same flag will be used later by EH patchset in the same manner.

Simulated the following three cases and all work fine.

* normal time out
* timeout wins, but qc completion kicks in before EH
* timeout loses (ata_scsi_timed_out() returns EH_HANDLED)

Thanks.

[PATCH 4/4] libata: kill NULL qc handling from ->eng_timeout callbacks

[Tejun Heo]

->eng_timeout cannot be invoked with NULL qc anymore.  Add an
assertion in ata_scsi_error() and kill NULL qc handling from all
->eng_timeout callbacks.
