iSCSI request keep rejected by microsoft iSCSI target because of write_same check

iSCSI request keep rejected by microsoft iSCSI target because of write_same check

[vaughan]

We are testing linux iscsi boot under UEFI mode with Microsoft iSCSI
Software Target. But failed for rejected by target.
When do a normal iscsi connection, iscsi connection is keeping rejected
and recover. See below:

Digging the code, I found it's because sd_read_write_same() use
scsi_report_opcode() to check if write_same is supported, but rejected
by target.
dd to the iSCSI disk is ok.  This issue doesn't occur with Linux stgt
target.

There are some questions:
1. Why stgt target don't has this issue? Does it support report_opcode
because it has a embeded controller lun0? Or it just returns INVALID in
response?
2. report_opcode is optional in SPC-3, so it's possible that not all
iscsi target support it. But is it correct for microsoft iSCSI target to
reject the command rather than return it with normal SCSI response?
3. Why it didn't do the same recovery in iSCSI boot case as did in
normal connection?
4. if report_opcode is not supported, shall write_same be disabled for
iSCSI?
5. Shall write_same be disabled for iSCSI by default?

Details of my test components:
  Target is setup with Microsoft iSCSI Software Target: 3.3.16563.
  stgt: scsi-target-utils-1.0.38-1.fc19.x86_64
  Kernel: 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64

Was the log above taken with your iscsi logging fixing patch applied?

Don't know. Will let someone else that works on stgt respond.

The iscsi spec has the reason code "command not supported" so I guess it
is ok for the target to do this. I do not think I have ever seen that
reason code used in production level targets, so it is probably not
common. I think I have normally seen it for when a iscsi command, like
nop, is not supported in targets being developed.

I think we should implement handling in the iscsi layer for it. I can
make a patch if you have not already.

What distro are you using? For RHEL and OEL and maybe others, during
boot (boot means here time before iscsid is started by the init scripts
on the real root device) if the connection drops like it did above, then
iscsid is not running so the kernel cannot recover. For sles, I think
iscsid runs so it would be ok the entire time.

No.

No.

If you wanted to disable commands you would want to do it per device or
target at the scsi layer, because there are or will be iscsi targets
that support it.

I just checked https://github.com/fujita/tgt, and it looks like tgtd does 
indeed handle REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPCODES.

It's kind of unfriendly to not send a check condition...

It would be awfully nice to get it turned into an ILLEGAL

Yes, it is. And "rejected iscsi cmd hdr" line is for debug.

I haven't made a patch yet.
I haven't figure out why it's rejected with "bookmark invalid"(9)
reason, rather than "command not supported". IMO "bookmark invalid" is
used when minor protocol conflict such as final flag not set with
non-write command. However, I haven't find error of this kind in
report_opcode, so I guess it's not supported on the target.

I'm using OEL.

Is it possible to get a wireshark/tcpdump trace? It does not have to be 
during boot. We just need to see what commands are sent and the response 
the target is returning.

I forgot we know some microsoft iscsi target people. We can just email 
them with the trace to confirm what is going on with the target. The 
trace seems to be easier for them than them interpreting linux kernel logs.

I enabled debug_iscsi_tcp, here is a more detailed log in normal connection.
Does "conn error (1020)" mean it's target peer who disconnect the
connection at the same time of reject report_opcode?
If it is, I think iSCSI boot failure can't be avoided without disable
write_same check on OEL.

Yes.

Yes, you are right. Due to how more distros do boot, iscsid will not be
up and you will hang. If are talking about disablement though I think it
should not be done at the iscsi layer. It should be some sort of
white/black list at the scsi device layer or something like that.

However, I will ping Microsoft and cc you and we can see what is up for
sure. Maybe we will get lucky and they will have a release with a fix on
their side.

I has some sproblem and only one ISCSI target - Microsoft SWT
I disable write_same for iscsi by patching kernel (3.17.0) 

Patch is simple add .no_write_same = 1 param, into scsi_host_template 
struct.

file drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c :

 static struct scsi_host_template iscsi_sw_tcp_sht = {

This method is not good.  Below is the answer from Mike when I asked if
we can disable write_same in the template before.

"If you wanted to disable commands you would want to do it per device or
target at the scsi layer, because there are or will be iscsi targets
that support it."

Also Martin suggests the target should return a check condition of
ILLEGAL REQUEST if it doesn't support a specific command.
It's a bug that only happens with Microsoft target, not others like tgtd.

Re: iSCSI request keep rejected by microsoft iSCSI target because of write_same check

[Michael Christie]

Hey Vaughan,

This was the issue we worked with Microsoft on wasn’t it? You guys figured out it was fixed in their target in a recent release right?

The issue we worked recently was wrt. the thin provisioning reporting.

The WRITE SAME problem was that the target returns an iSCSI-specific
error code rather than a check condition with ILLEGAL REQUEST. You were
going to talk to MS.

However, if somebody sends me the relevant INQUIRY strings for the MS
target I'll add it to the WRITE SAME quirk list.

Are you sure about this? The issue you are talking about and the one 
jazz is is the same issue right?

I do not have any of the old replies from MS, but I have some of the 
mails I sent them. It looks like we were asking them about when sd.c 
would send a REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION, the old MS target would return 
the iscsi specific error code. And it looks like they had us try a 
updated version and in there it was changed to just work on their side.

Jazz-jYkeLfz6glqHXe+LvDLADg@public.gmane.org's patch would work around the same problem because in 
sd_read_write_same, sd would see no_write_same is set and not send 
REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION.

The subject of that email thread with MS was "Linux iSCSI and Microsoft 
target interop question". I started it with MS on Jan 14, 2014. Vaughan 
ccd you on that thread a little later to get your help. I do not have 
the replies though. I am just going by truncated snippets in mails sent, 
so I do not know what version that was fixed in. Do you guys have the 
replies by any chance?

Oh, I see. I wasn't CC:ed on the first part of this thread so I missed
the fact that it was RSOC that was the problem. I read the mail
yesterday as if we got bad response to WRITE SAME(10/16).

I wasn't included in any exchanges beyond "we'll have a look". So I
don't have much data to go on.

Yeah. 

I still don't have a problem quirking the MS target. As long as I can
get good strings and revs to match on. Obviously setting no_write_same
for all iSCSI targets is a no-go.

Shooooot, not sure what was tested in that thread now. I tried out the
newer MS iscsi target, 3.3, and still hit the same issue that was
reported here.

What info did you need? Here is vendor/product/version info:

 Vendor identification: MSFT
 Product identification: Virtual HD
 Product revision level: 3.3
