[PATCH] scsi_host sysfs updates scsi-misc-2.5 [0/2]

[PATCH] scsi_host sysfs updates scsi-misc-2.5 [0/2]

[Mike Anderson]

This series of patches is an update to the scsi_host sysfs / ref
counting patches previously merged into the scsi-misc-2.5 tree. 

insmod / rmmod Testing:
	Legacy registration:
		aic7xxx_old, qlogicisp
		qla2xxx v8.00.00b1 - Driver oops system with garbled
		messages on rmmod. Does not seem related to this patch.

	New registration:
		scsi_debug 
		aic7xxx has an issue with holding lock while calling
		scsi_remove_host. I created a test patch to not hold the
		lock and the scsi mid layer illegal context messages
		stopped. Justin will need to address a real fix.

	I am booted on the ips driver, but have done no insmod / rmmod
	testing.

Attached is the current Reference Counting Rules and a small future
TODO cleanup list.

Post feedback I will work to roll this into the scsi documentation.

<Referemnce Counting Rules>

1.) Reference counting for scsi_host
	scsi_register (scsi_alloc_host):
		(A) kmalloc Scsi_Host + xtr_bytes
		(B) Call device_initialize, class_device_initialize
			refcount is 1 on host_gendev.
			refcount is 1 on class_dev.
	scsi_get_host:
		(A) Call get_device on host_gendev
			refcount +1 on host_gendev
		(B) Call class_device_get on class_dev
			refcount +1 on class_dev
	scsi_host_put:
		(A) Call put_device on host_gendev
			refcount -1 on host_gendev
		(B) Call class_device_put on class_dev
			refcount -1 on class_dev
	scsi_add_host:
		(A) Call scsi_sysfs_add_host
			(1) Call device_add
				refcount +1 on parent struct device
				host_gendev now visible in sysfs tree.
			(2) Call class_device_add
				refcount +1 on scsi_host class
				refcount +1 on parent struct device
				class_dev now visible in sysfs tree
		(C) Call scsi_proc_host_add
			Scsi_Host now visible in proc.
		(D) Call scsi_scan_host
			refcount +1 on host_gendev for each scsi_device
			discovered
		(E) Call scsi_attach_device.

	scsi_remove_host:
		(A) "scsi_offline_host" see note above.
		(B) Call scsi_proc_host_rm
		(C) Call scsi_forget_host
			refcount -1 on host_gendev for each scsi_device
			unregistered
		(D) Call scsi_sysfs_remove_host
			(1) Call class_device_del
			(2) Call device_del

	scsi_unregister:
		(A) Call scsi_put_host

	scsi_host_release:
		(A) Call scsi_free_shost
			(1) Remove Scsi_Host from scsi_host_list list.
			(2) Kill error recovery thread.
			(3) Call scsi_destroy_command_freelist
			(4) kfree(shost)

	scsi_register_host:
		(A) Call template detect
			(1) Call scsi_register for each instance
		(B) Call scsi_add_host for each instance
	
	scsi_unregister_host:
		(A) Call scsi_remove_host, hostt->release for all
		Scsi_Host instances.

2.) Reference counting for scsi_device

	scsi_add_lun:
		(A) Call scsi_device_register
		refcount 1 on sdev_driverfs_dev
		refcount +1 on parent struct device (i.e host_gendev)

	scsi_add_device:
		(A) Call scsi_probe_and_add_lun

	scsi_remove_device:
		(A) Call scsi_detach_device
		(B) Call scsi_device_unregister
		refcount -1 on sdev_driverfs_dev
		refcount -1 on parent struct device (i.e host_gendev)

	scsi_device_get:
		(A) try_module_get
		(B) access_count +1

	scsi_device_put:
		(A) access_count -1
		(B) module_put on host module

TODO:
	- scsi_set_host_offline needs work on sync between LLDD and mid on
	  surprise remove.

	- Move upper level attaches to driver model so scsi_add_host does
	  not need to loop over my_devices. Post the cleanups that have
	  happen on the upper level driver we really close to matching the
	  model already this should be doable.  (Christoph has old patch
	  that needs refreshed to handle this)

	- Remove scsi_host_get_next.

	- Should move scsi_device device_register to (initialize, add)
	  pair. (Low priority)

	- Evaluate the need for scsi_host_list as this is duplicated in
	  the scsi_host class structure. (Low priority)

DESC
scsi shost sysfs cleanups for scsi-misc-2.5
- Add LLDD short name to scsi_host struct device.
- scsi_host_release now calls scsi_free_shost.
- Switched from device_register / device_unregister and class_register
/ class_register to initialize, add, del, put pairs.
- Moved some function from scsi_register and scsi_unregister.
- Filled in scsi_host_put and scsi_host_get.

This should go into scsi_priv.h

This should go either into scsi_priv.h or exported if we see
a use for it in driver (I'd rather avoid drivers messing with
reference counts, though)

Patch looks fine otherwise.

I think it should go into scsi_priv.h. I thought it would be good to have
a symmetric interface, but would worry about drivers messing with the
counts if it was exported.

Note: scsi_host_get_next and scsi_host_hn_get need ref counting, but
I wanted to look at this a bit and see if we could utilize some
sysfs interfaces.

I'm still getting an oops in a scsi_register followed by a
scsi_unregister (because of an error in the driver setup).  The problem
occurs because the mid-layer is now dependent on the host_gendev.release
method.  Unfortunately, this isn't set until scsi_host_add, which may be
quite a while after scsi_register.

The quick "fix" is attached below, but I think we need all of this to be
symmetric (i.e. scsi_unregister can be called any time after
scsi_register) so probably the host_gendev.release method should be set
elsewhere.

I agree on the symmetric interface. I attached a patch that adds a
scsi_sysfs_init_host function call which moves more initialization during
the scsi_register time frame.

I tested the attached patch on my current config of ips, qlogicisp,
aic7xxx, and scsi_debug.

Can you run this on your system and see if it addresses your issue? If
not I can hack scsi_debug to make back to back scsi_register /
scsi_unregister calls.

Is the driver still oops'ng during your testing?  Could you provide
some specifics on attached storage as well as environment (fabric,

Surprisingly, it still fails.  I've debugged the refcounting and I see
it fall to zero in scsi_host_put but the dev release method doesn't
trigger for no reason I can see.

It's probably a kobject initialisation problem somewhere.

Also, eventually, don't we need to do class_device_remove_files() on the
created class files, so that will have to be done in release and we've
got symmetry problems again?

OK, found it.  the ->release is triggered by the kobj_kset, which isn't
set until device_add time, not device init time.

Therefore, we shouldn't really put and get objects until they've been
added (or the kobj_set_kset_s needs to be moved to device_initialize()).

The more I think about it, the more it does look like we need to
separate the partially initialized case from the fully initialized one,
so perhaps the initial patch I made and thought was awful may actually
turn out to be the more correct one.

I have been told that we you do not need to call
class_device_remove_files as the cleanup functionality of *_remove_files
happens implicitly through the call to sysfs_remove_dir. I will verify
this.

If we needed to add this back in we would add it to scsi_sysfs_remove_host
as they are created in scsi_sysfs_add_host.

I would like to have feedback from Mochel on the device_initialize
call.

The documentation I have read indicates the device_initialize call was to
allow the struct device to be usable for reference counting. I think we
should determine if that is the intent and can we call kobj_set_kset_s
in device_initialize.

Another option may be to set the ktype value on our struct device
kobject until device_add overrides this with the call to kobj_set_kset_s.

I can confirm that moving kobj_set_kset_s fixes my boot up problem (with
your other patch).  However, now I'm running into an obscure slab
corruption issue, so I suspect the move has to be more carefully
orchestrated.

I checked out that setting kobj.ktype also seems to solve the problem
(using a hacked version of scsi_debug and calling scsi_register followed
by a call to scsi_unregister). This would give a more localized work
around, but device_initialize kobj_set_kset_s may be a better choice.

Yes, that might fix it, setting the kset would cause a spurious
kset_put. I'll try it out.

well, just setting the kset still gives me my check_poison_obj use after
free.  I'll see if I can find it.

I am seeing size-512 with my modified version of scsi_debug. I modified
slab.c to store last user for this size and it indicates it was
scsi_free_shost. I am looking at this now.

I found it: you have a use after free in the sysfs code:

scsi_host_put does put_device followed by class_device_put, but the
put_device will free the shost containing the class_device in it's
release, so the class_device_put touches a freed object.

The solution is just to reverse the order of the puts.

Thanks for finding this. This fixes my slab issue also.

The driver is still oops'ng on current scsi-misc-2.5, but I tried
linux-2.5 bk 2.5.69+ (change set 1.1095) and it did not oops after
multiple insmod/rmmod cycles.

I do not get consistent oops, but the one below occurs frequently on
rmmod. I will track it down more on my system and see if there are
changes between linux-2.5 and scsi-misc that would address what I am
seeing.

My configuration is 2 qla2300, IBM 2109 switch, IBM FASTt 200, 10 FC
JBOD disks.

Just to set the record straight - James suggested this on irc yesterday, 
and I've added it to my tree. I haven't seen any issues with it, and based 
on later emails, you've worked out the slab issue. So, it'll be pushed to 
Linus.
