[PATCH 0/5] SCSI EH cleanup

[PATCH 0/5] SCSI EH cleanup

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi all,

here's a patchset to cleanup SCSI EH. The main point is that we should
finally drop the no_async_abort flag; up to now we haven't had any
issues with the asynchronous aborts, and the flag was never used.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Hannes Reinecke (4):
  scsi: make scsi_eh_scmd_add() always succeed
  scsi: make eh_eflags persistent
  scsi: make asynchronous aborts mandatory
  scsi: Do not escalate failed EH command

[PATCH 1/5] libsas: allow async aborts

[Hannes Reinecke]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

We now first try to call ->eh_abort_handler from a work queue, but libsas
was always failing that for no good reason.  Allow async aborts.

[PATCH 2/5] scsi: make scsi_eh_scmd_add() always succeed

[Hannes Reinecke]

scsi_eh_scmd_add() currently only will fail if no
error handler thread is started (which will never be the
case) or if the state machine encounters an illegal transition.

But if we're encountering an invalid state transition
chances is we cannot fixup things with the error handler.
So better add a WARN_ON for illegal host states and
make scsi_dh_scmd_add() a void function.

[PATCH 3/5] scsi: make eh_eflags persistent

[Hannes Reinecke]

To detect if a failed command has been retried we must not
clear scmd->eh_eflags when EH finishes.
The flag should be persistent throughout the lifetime
of the command.

[PATCH 4/5] scsi: make asynchronous aborts mandatory

[Hannes Reinecke]

There hasn't been any reports for HBAs where asynchronous abort
would not work, so we should make it mandatory and remove
the fallback.

[PATCH 5/5] scsi: Do not escalate failed EH command

[Hannes Reinecke]

If an EH command fails there is no need to escalate; we are already
in EH and the escalation will start anyway.

Re: [PATCH 2/5] scsi: make scsi_eh_scmd_add() always succeed

[Christoph Hellwig]

Agreed, I think trying to handle these sorts of errors isn't going
to be helpful, while the WARN_ON at least gives us a chance to
diagnose the issue if it ever happened.

Use WARN_ON_ONCE to avoid repeated backtraces for the same condition.

No warn_on or early return here?

Re: [PATCH 4/5] scsi: make asynchronous aborts mandatory

[Christoph Hellwig]

Looks fine and probably should move toward the beginning of
the series:

Please explain what issue this solves - the behavior has been there
for a while and even documented, so explaining how this was wrong
would be very useful.

I agree with this in principle, but is this really the case for all
callers?

E.g. the call to scsi_request_sense in scsi_eh_get_sense simply
skips to the next cmd on failure.  This could use a little more
description explaining how all callers of this are indeed fine
with not escalating manually.
