[PATCH 1/6] scsi_transport_srp: Fix two kernel-doc warnings

[Bart Van Assche]

This patch fixes the following two kernel-doc warnings:

Warning(drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_srp.c:819): No description found for parameter 'rport'
Warning(include/scsi/scsi_transport_srp.h:75): Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'deleted' description in 'srp_rport'

[PATCH 3/6] IB/srp: Fail SCSI commands silently

[Bart Van Assche]

Do not log SCSI command failures that are the result of a transport
layer failure, a SCSI abort or SCSI reset. This patch is a slightly
modified version of a patch posted by Sebastian Riemer in March 2013
(see also http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.rdma/15020/).

This patch avoids that a system becomes unresponsive during failover
of a large number of LUNs when kernel messages are logged to a serial
console.

[PATCH 4/6] IB/srp: Avoid duplicate connections

[Bart Van Assche]

The connection uniqueness check is performed before a new connection
is added to the target list. This patch protects both actions by a
mutex such that simultaneous writes from two different threads into the
"add_target" variable do not result in duplicate connections.

[PATCH 5/6] IB/srp: Make writing into the "add_target" sysfs attribute interruptible

[Bart Van Assche]

Avoid that stopping srp_daemon takes unusually long due to a cable
pull by making writing into the "add_target" sysfs attribute
interruptible.

[PATCH 6/6] IB/srp: Avoid that writing into "add_target" hangs due to a cable pull

[Bart Van Assche]

If a cable is pulled while srp_connect_target() is in progress
that can result in that function never to return. That makes the
process, e.g. srp_daemon, that invoked this function unkillable.
Avoid this by letting srp_connect_target() finish if the event
IB_CM_TIMEWAIT_EXIT is received. This patch fixes a hang with the
following call trace:

[PATCH 2/6] IB/srp: Add more logging

[Bart Van Assche]

Log sgid and dgid when reporting that a login has been rejected or when
a host has been added. This makes it easy to figure out which initiator
and target ports these messages apply to.

While I can see the utility for slow consoles, this should probably be
done in the SCSI lib, with a separate flag for indicating it is a
failure due to transport issues. That would allow the functionality to
be used by multiple drivers and verbosity configured in one place,
rather than patched in driver-by-driver.

Hello Dave,

If it would be possible to move the code for setting the REQ_QUIET flag
into the SCSI lib that would be great. However, as far as I know only
the LLD knows which requests are in progress. A call to
blk_start_request() makes blk_dequeue_request() remove a request from
the queuelist in struct request_queue. I am not aware of any list in the
block layer nor in the SCSI mid-layer that keeps track of requests that
are in progress ?

Thanks,

Bart.

What I understood from Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt is that
patches that fix a bug are acceptable for the stable kernel series but
functionality changes not. So I think patches 4, 5 and 6 would be good
candidates for the stable kernel series. Roland, do you want me to
resend this series with "stable" tags added where appropriate or are you
fine with adding this tag yourself to the last three patches ?

Thanks,

Bart.

I didn't suggest that -- I'm saying add a common functionality to turn
on/off the message printing for commands that failed due to a dead
transport. If it is useful for SRP initiators, it is probably useful for
SAS and iSCSI imitators as well.

At a quick look, it seems you need to add a new value to the
rq_flag_bits enum in include/linux/blk_types.h, __REQ_FAILED_TRANSPORT,
somewhere before __REQ_NR_BITS. And a #define in the style of those
following it. Use that flag instead of REQ_QUIET in the patch we are
discussing, and change the code in scsi_lib.c to check

  ((req->cmd_flags & REQ_FAILED_TRANSPORT) && $user_wants_this_knob) || !(req->cmd_flags & REQ_QUIET)

before calling scsi_print_sense(), with appropriate naming, of course.
This gives you a central place to control it, and allows for consistency
between initiators.

I agree it is much easier to just fix it in SRP, especially given the
glacial rate of change for the SCSI mid-layer, but I really think a
central control and driver-by-driver enablement would be the best
approach. YMMV.

Hello Dave,

That makes sense to me. Do you think the (untested) patch below could
be a valid alternative to the above proposal ?

I'd still like to see a knob to let the user turn it off -- sometimes
you want to see those messages -- but it seems like a viable approach,
especially if it works when you test it :)

I'll leave to others about how important that knob is, though. If no one
else barks, then it should be OK.

Hello Dave,

Testing learned me that the above patch suppresses the messages reported
by the SCSI mid-layer due to a transport failure but not the messages
reported by the block layer (e.g. "end_request: recoverable transport
error, dev sdc, sector 42514" -- see also blk_update_request() in
block/blk-core.c). Do you really think it is essential to introduce a
new flag in the block layer for the purpose of suppressing transport
layer error messages and to add support for that flag in the block core
and in the SCSI mid-layer ? To me it seems a lot simpler to use the
existing REQ_QUIET flag.

Thanks,

Bart.

Yes, I think you want different semantics -- one is the requestor saying
"don't complain about this if it fails", the other is the LLD saying
"this failed due to transport failure, you may or may not want to report
it, under user control". But it doesn't necessarily have to be a new
block flag -- it may be as simple as adding a stanza in
scsi_io_completion() that looks like

if (cmd->device->sdev_state != SDEV_TRANSPORT_OFFLINE &&
    user_want_to_silence_transport_errors)
	req->cmd_flags |= REQ_QUIET;

if ((sshdr.asc == 0x0) && (sshdr.ascq == 0x1d))
	;
else if (!(req->cmd_flags & REQ_QUIET))
	scsi_print_sense("", cmd);

But this approach doesn't suppress the error messages printed by the
block layer due to a transport layer failure. Additionally, the block
layer is neither aware of the SCSI transport layer state nor of the ASC
and ASCQ codes in the sense data. Hence my preference to keep patch 3/6
as it has been posted at the start of this thread.

Bart.

I don't see where the block level is printing messages about the failed
requests -- but maybe I'm missing it. I see scsi_done() ->
blk_complete_request() -> blk_done_softirq() -> scsi_softirq_done() ->
scsi_finish_command() -> scsi_io_completion()

I'm not seeing where the errored block requests would be printed before
scsi_io_completion(), which is where we were talking about setting the
REQ_QUIET flag above.

What messages are you talking about -- even better if you can point to
where they come from -- but mainly which ones; I'm happy to track them
down myself. It's been a while since I've done a deep dive on this code,
so my apologies if it should be obvious to me...

Of course it isn't, and no one is suggesting it should.

I agree it is the most expedient approach to solve Sebastian's immediate
problem, but I'd rather the solution be generic to the SCSI mid-layer so
it will be useful for others beyond SRP.

Hello Dave,

I think the call chain is as follows: scsi_io_completion() ->
scsi_end_request() -> blk_end_request() -> blk_end_bidi_request() ->
blk_update_bidi_request() -> blk_update_request(). That last function
prints an error message for failed requests if REQ_QUIET has not been
set. So this means that it's possible to set the REQ_QUIET flag from the
SCSI mid-layer before the block layer checks that flag.

It would be great if this would be solved in a more generic way. But
please keep in mind that this is not just Sebastian's problem - other
users have reported this before.
