[PATCH 0/3] ide-tape: misc stuff

[Borislav Petkov]

Hi David,

here's a re-spun version with patch 2 dropped.

* 0001: somehow fell through the cracks, DEBUG build fix

* 0002: this one converts ide-tape to the debugging scheme we use with ide-cd
  and ide-floppy. It adds some debug calls at important places and has proven
  very helpful when working on bug reports with users. No functional change.

* 0003: real bugfix

The patches are also at

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git ide-tape-postponed

Thanks,
Boris.

Applied.

[PATCH 2/3] ide-tape: convert to ide_debug_log macro

[Borislav Petkov]

Remove tape->debug_mask and use drive->debug_mask instead.

There should be no functional change resulting from this patch.

[PATCH 3/3] ide-tape: fix handling of postponed rqs

[Borislav Petkov]

ide-tape used to hit

[   58.614854] ide-tape: ht0: BUG: Two DSC requests queued!

due to the fact that another rq was being issued while the driver was
waiting for DSC to get set for the device executing ATAPI commands which
set the DSC to 1 to indicate completion.

Here's a sample output of that case:

issue REZERO_UNIT

[  143.088505] ide-tape: ide_tape_issue_pc: retry #0, cmd: 0x01
[  143.095122] ide: Enter ide_pc_intr - interrupt handler
[  143.096118] ide: Packet command completed, 0 bytes transferred
[  143.106319] ide-tape: ide_tape_callback: cmd: 0x1, dsc: 1, err: 0
[  143.112601] ide-tape: idetape_postpone_request: cmd: 0x1, dsc_poll_freq: 2000

we stall the ide-tape queue here waiting for DSC

[  143.119936] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: enter
[  145.119019] ide-tape: idetape_do_request: sector: 4294967295, nr_sectors: 0

and issue the new READ_POSITION rq and hit the check.

[  145.126247] ide-tape: ht0: BUG: Two DSC requests queued!
[  145.131748] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: BOP - No
[  145.137059] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: EOP - No

Also, ->postponed_rq used to point to that postponed request. To make
things worse, in certain circumstances the rq it was pointing to got
replaced unterneath it by swiftly reusing the same rq from the mempool
of the block layer practically confusing stuff even more.

However, we don't need to keep a pointer to that rq but simply wait for
DSC to be set first before issuing the follow-up request in the drive's
queue. In order to do that, we make idetape_do_request() first check the
DSC and if not set, we stall the drive queue giving the other device on
that IDE channel a chance.

Do you even compile the code you send me and look to see if there are
any new warnings generated or anything like that?

drivers/ide/ide-tape.c: In function ‘ide_tape_stall_queue’:
drivers/ide/ide-tape.c:379: warning: unused variable ‘rq’

Fix this.

Sorry about that, rq is used only in the debug statement and I forgot to
do a non-debug build, my bad.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ide-tape: fix handling of postponed rqs

ide-tape used to hit

[   58.614854] ide-tape: ht0: BUG: Two DSC requests queued!

due to the fact that another rq was being issued while the driver was
waiting for DSC to get set for the device executing ATAPI commands which
set the DSC to 1 to indicate completion.

Here's a sample output of that case:

issue REZERO_UNIT

[  143.088505] ide-tape: ide_tape_issue_pc: retry #0, cmd: 0x01
[  143.095122] ide: Enter ide_pc_intr - interrupt handler
[  143.096118] ide: Packet command completed, 0 bytes transferred
[  143.106319] ide-tape: ide_tape_callback: cmd: 0x1, dsc: 1, err: 0
[  143.112601] ide-tape: idetape_postpone_request: cmd: 0x1, dsc_poll_freq: 2000

we stall the ide-tape queue here waiting for DSC

[  143.119936] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: enter
[  145.119019] ide-tape: idetape_do_request: sector: 4294967295, nr_sectors: 0

and issue the new READ_POSITION rq and hit the check.

[  145.126247] ide-tape: ht0: BUG: Two DSC requests queued!
[  145.131748] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: BOP - No
[  145.137059] ide-tape: ide_tape_read_position: EOP - No

Also, ->postponed_rq used to point to that postponed request. To make
things worse, in certain circumstances the rq it was pointing to got
replaced unterneath it by swiftly reusing the same rq from the mempool
of the block layer practically confusing stuff even more.

However, we don't need to keep a pointer to that rq but simply wait for
DSC to be set first before issuing the follow-up request in the drive's
queue. In order to do that, we make idetape_do_request() first check the
DSC and if not set, we stall the drive queue giving the other device on
that IDE channel a chance.

Applied, thanks.
