[PATCHSET 0/3] varlen extended and vendor-specific cdbs

[PATCHSET 0/3] varlen extended and vendor-specific cdbs

[Boaz Harrosh]

Submitted is a patchset for adding support for variable-length, extended, and 
vendor specific CDBs. It should now cover the entire range of the
SCSI standard.

They are based on scsi-misc + the submitted bidi patches.

Difference from last time, is at struct request. I did a smallish
hack to save the extra pointer space. The pointer now shares it's
space with the request->cmd, as they are mutual exclusive. The
flag to switch between them is when cmd_len == 0 and varlen_cdb_len != 0
I've added 2 accessors to hide the mess. I think this approach
should be safe. I can easily go back to the separate pointer,
but I figured a little hack is better then a bloat.

This is on top of the size shrink to struct scsi_cmnd gained
in the first patch. We save upto 12 bytes on 32 bit ARCHs

So over all, this cleans things up, and add fixtures with out
any extra cost.

[1/4] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd buffer
  Here I let scsi_cmnd->cmnd point to the space allocated by
  request->cmd, instead of copying the data. The scsi_cmnd->cmd_len
  is guaranteed to contain the right length of the command.
  I have tried to go over every single place in the kernel that uses
  scsi_cmnd->cmnd and make sure it looks sane. Surprisingly to me,
  that was not at all bad. I hope I did not miss anything.

  I've tested on an x86_64 machine booting from a sata disk and
  ran the iscsi regression tests as well as my bidi and varlen tests
  on top of the complete patchset and all tests passed.

[2/4] block layer varlen-cd
   Here I added an option to use a user supplied buffer for an arbitrary
   large command. Buffer must be kept valid until execution of request
   ends. The pointer to the buffer shares it's space with the fixed
   length command, so the size of struct request does not change.

[3/4] scsi: varlen extended and vendor-specific cdbs
  Adds support for variable length, extended, and vendor-specific
  cdbs at the scsi mid-layer.

I will send a patch to iscsi once the pending iscsi patchset gets
committed into scsi-misc.

[PATCH 1/3] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd buffer

[Boaz Harrosh]

  - struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
    This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
    cmd. It is probably leftovers from the time that scsi_cmnd
    could function without a request attached. So clean that up.

  - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
    adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.

  - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
    that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
    and is reflected in the patch below is.
    MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
                       as per the SCSI standard and is not related
                       to the implementation.
    BLK_MAX_CDB.     - The allocated space at the request level

(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
   by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, like
   the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command. This is actually not exactly
   true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
   vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
   will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
   So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
   scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

[PATCH 2/2] block layer varlen-cdb

[Boaz Harrosh]

  - add varlen_cdb and varlen_cdb_len to hold a large user cdb
    if needed. They start as empty. Allocation of buffer must
    be done by user and held until request execution is done.
  - Since there can be either a fix_length command up to 16 bytes
    or a variable_length, larger then 16 bytes, commands but never
    both, we hold the two types in a union to save space. The
    presence of varlen_cdb_len and cmd_len==0 signals a varlen_cdb
    mode.
  - Please use added rq_{set,get}_varlen_cdb() to set every thing
    up in a way that will not confuse drivers that do not support
    varlen_cdb's.
  - Note that this patch does not add any size to struct request
    since the unsigned cmd_len is split here to 2 ushorts, which
    is more then enough.

[Boaz Harrosh]

  Add support for variable-length, extended, and vendor specific
  CDBs to scsi-ml. It is now possible for initiators and ULD's
  to issue these types of commands. LLDs need not change much.
  All they need is to raise the .max_cmd_len to the longest command
  they support (see iscsi patches).

  - clean-up some code paths that did not expect commands to be
    larger than 16, and change cmd_len members' type to short as
    char is not enough.
  - Add support for varlen_cdb in scsi_execute.

ping James.
I understand that this is the last thing on your mind. But could we at least
agree at the scsi_cmnd API, which is, No API.

That is: scsi_cmnd->cmnd changes to a pointer that can point to a user buffer.


Andrew Hi!
It would be grate if you could put these patches in next -mm for testing.
the first patch in this series has a potential of been dangerous.
Since I changed an embedded array to a pointer, places that did &cmd->cmnd
will no longer work. I have scanned all occurrences of \bcmnd\b but
I might have missed a place.

Thanks
Boaz

[PATCH 1/3] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd buffer

[Boaz Harrosh]

 - struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
   This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
   cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
   could function without a request attached. So clean that up.

 - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
   adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.

 - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
   that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
   and is reflected in the patch below is.
   MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
                      as per the SCSI standard and is not related
                      to the implementation.
   BLK_MAX_CDB.     - The allocated space at the request level

 - I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
   Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.

(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
   by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
   the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
   true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
   vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
   will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
   So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
   scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

[PATCH 1/3] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd buffer

[Boaz Harrosh]

 - struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
   This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
   cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
   could function without a request attached. So clean that up.

 - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
   adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.

 - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
   that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
   and is reflected in the patch below is.
   MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
                      as per the SCSI standard and is not related
                      to the implementation.
   BLK_MAX_CDB.     - The allocated space at the request level

 - I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
   Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.

(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
   by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
   the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
   true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
   vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
   will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
   So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
   scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's
