[V2 PATCH 1/2] scsi: call device handler for failed TUR command

[wenxiong]

[-- Attachment #1: allow_restart1 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2092 bytes --]

Multipath devices using the TUR path checker need to see the sense
code for a failed TUR command in their device handler.  Since commit
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c?id=14216561e164671ce147458653b1fea06a
we always return success for mid layer issued TUR commands before
calling the device handler, which stopped the TUR path checker from working.

Move the call to the device handler check sense method before the early
return for TUR commands to give the device handler a chance to intercept
them.

[V2 PATCH 2/2] scsi: TUR path is down after adapter gets reset with multipath

[wenxiong]

[-- Attachment #1: allow_restart2 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2185 bytes --]

This patch fixes an issue with multipath ipr SAS devices which require a
start unit command to be issued following an adapter reset. Without this
patch, paths get marked failed following an adapter reset and since the
error handler never gets invoked to issue the start unit, the paths are
never recovered. Returning FAILED for this case ensures the error
handler wakes up to issue the start unit.

Why did you use a wrapper for an already existing function?
Please fold the logic into alua_check_sense().

That's what the first version did.  See the response from Rob to it
on why it's done this way.

Hmm. I see. But I still thing it should be wrapped into
alua_check_sense().
The main objection from Rob was that a sense code of 02/04/02 should
cause a START STOP UNIT to be sent, but the latter is might be
invalid for certain ALUA states.
Thing is, we're only sending START STOP UNIT as part of the main
SCSI EH routine, so that would work in either way.

And looking a scsi_dh_alua we're only checking a return value of
ADD_TO_MLQUEUE; any other value is treated as an I/O error.
So it doesn't really matter if alua_check_sense would return
FAILED here; it still would be folded into the final return value of
SCSI_DH_IO.

So I don't think we need to have a wrapper around alua_check_sense()
but can rather merge them both.

Cheers,

Hannes
