[PATCH 0/10] IB SRP initiator patches for kernel 3.12

[PATCH 0/10] IB SRP initiator patches for kernel 3.12

[Bart Van Assche]

The purpose of this InfiniBand SRP initiator patch series is as follows:
- Make the SRP initiator driver better suited for use in a H.A. setup.
   Add fast_io_fail_tmo, dev_loss_tmo and reconnect_delay parameters.
   With the default values of these parameters failover happens
   significantly faster. The dev_loss mechanism can be disabled which
   makes it possible to avoid device removal which is necessary when
   e.g. using initiator side mirroring.
- Improve performance by making the queue size configurable.
- Make it possible to figure out which SCSI host corresponds to which
   SRP initiator port by making the SGID (source GID) available in sysfs.

The changes since the previous version of this patch series are as 
follows (see also http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.rdma/17058/):
- Split the scsi_transport_srp changes in two patches to make review
   easier.
- Added a patch for exporting the SGID via sysfs.
- Included a few fixes for the rport state transition algorithm for
   issues discovered while testing this patch series on a larger setup
   (initiator with 4 IB ports and target with 8 IB ports or 32 SRP
   paths between initiator and target in total).

The individual patches in this series are:
0001-IB-srp-Make-transport-layer-retry-count-configurable.patch
0002-IB-srp-Keep-rport-as-long-as-the-IB-transport-layer.patch
0003-scsi_transport_srp-Add-transport-layer-error-handlin.patch
0004-IB-srp-Use-SRP-transport-layer-error-recovery.patch

0007-IB-srp-Add-periodic-reconnect-functionality.patch
0008-IB-srp-Export-sgid-to-sysfs.patch

[PATCH 02/10] IB/srp: Keep rport as long as the IB transport layer

[Bart Van Assche]

Keep the rport data structure around after srp_remove_host() has
finished until cleanup of the IB transport layer has finished
completely. This is necessary because later patches use the rport
pointer inside the queuecommand callback. Without this patch
accessing the rport from inside a queuecommand callback is racy
because srp_remove_host() must be invoked before scsi_remove_host()
and because the queuecommand callback could get invoked after
srp_remove_host() has finished. In other words, without this patch
the queuecommand callback can get invoked after the rport data
structure has been freed.

[PATCH 03/10] scsi_transport_srp: Add transport layer error handling

[Bart Van Assche]

Add the necessary functions in the SRP transport module to allow
an SRP initiator driver to implement transport layer error handling
similar to the functionality already provided by the FC transport
layer. This includes:
- Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before failing I/O.
- Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before removing a remote port.

[PATCH 06/10] scsi_transport_srp: Add periodic reconnect support

[Bart Van Assche]

Add support for periodically reconnecting to an SRP target until
the dev_loss timer expires. After the tenth reconnection attempt,
gradually slow down subsequent reconnect attempts.

Since it takes some work to figure out the state transitions from the 
source code, I have tried to draw a diagram representing all state 
transitions. I have attached that diagram to this e-mail. That diagram 
probably will make it easier to review this code.

Many of these already have it, but for patches 1-10:

This is handy, Bart -- could you put it in a patch? I suppose it belongs
under Documentation/infiniband...

Thanks!

Hello Dave,

That sounds like a good idea to me. I will post such a patch as soon as 
possible - the coming two weeks I will be traveling.

Bart.
