Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] lsi, scsi-disk: check for reentrance via tag matching
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:21:19 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1232720479-21398-3-git-send-email-ryanh@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1232720479-21398-1-git-send-email-ryanh@us.ibm.com>

SLES10 RC2 install, and other OSes have triggered the following error from the
LSI device:

lsi_scsi: error: Reselect with pending DMA

After some debugging, I noticed that in the lsi code, the phase would change
from PHASE_DO which corresponded to the current Write command we were handling,
to PHASE_DI.  After tracking down all of the places in lsi were we phase change
to PHASE_DI, lsi_do_command was triggering this change after calling send
command.  This was a most odd code path.  Then I saw it:

lsi_do_command()
    device->send_command()
        scsi_command_complete()
            lsi_command_complete()
                lsi_resume_script()
                    lsi_do_command()

This can be detected by tracking s->current_tag when we start lsi_do_command()
and checking against that once we return from send_command().  If the tags are
 different, then the previous command has completed and we exit the function.

A similar reentrance bug happens in scsi-disk.c.

scsi_send_command()
    scsi_command_complete() // we remove the request and put it on the freelist
        lsi_command_complete()
            lsi_resume_script()
                lsi_do_command()
                    scsi_send_command() // fetchings recently free'd request
                                        // and updates r->sector_count
                                        // clobbering the value that was being
                                        // used by the previous user of
                                        // this request
        
As with the lsi device, we can test for this by comparing the tag value from the
start of the function to the request tag (r->tag) and if they differ, then the
current function can exit as that command has already completed.

Fixing these two re-entrance issues allows SLES10 SP2 installer to complete and
guest function fully.
