Subject: [PATCH 0/6] tcm_fc fixes
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 10:54:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471856051-87398-1-git-send-email-hare@suse.de> (raw)
Hi Nic,
here's a set of patches and fixes I've found during debugging
FCoE over virtio.
The first two fix a race condition I've encountered during starting
and stopping initiators; they are similar to your prior patches,
but I still think they should be applied to avoid any race issues.
The next three are just minor cleanups, but the last one is
_absolutely_ crucial.
With the current code tcm_fc will behave _very_ odd if you're
running in a virtualized environment, as the xid allocator in libfc
will be thouroughly thrashed by sending frames on _other_ cpus than
those the originator frame got received on.
This causes frames to be delayed (by up to several minutes)
leading to I/O errors on the initiator side.
As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
Hannes Reinecke (6):
target: fix hang in target_wait_for_sess_cmds()
target: fix potential race window in target_sess_cmd_list_waiting()
target/tcm_fc: print command pointer in debug message
target/tcm_fc: return detailed error in ft_sess_create()
target/tcm_fc: Update debugging statements to match libfc usage
target/tcm_fc: use CPU affinity for responses
