[PATCH 1/6] target: Fix VERIFY and WRITE VERIFY command parsing

[Bart Van Assche]

Use the value of the BYTCHK field to determine the size of the
Data-Out buffer. For VERIFY, honor the VRPROTECT, DPO and FUA
fields. This patch avoids that LIO complains about a mismatch
between the expected transfer length and the SCSI CDB length
if the value of the BYTCHK field is 0.

[PATCH 2/6] target/iscsi: Call .iscsit_release_cmd() once

[Bart Van Assche]

While releasing a command __iscsit_free_cmd() can be called multiple
times but .iscsit_release_cmd() must be called only once. Hence move
the .iscsit_release_cmd() call into iscsit_release_cmd(). The latter
function is only called once per command. The only driver that defines
the .iscsit_release_cmd() callback is the cxgbit driver so this change
only affects the cxgbit driver.

Applied, but dropping the unnecessary stable CC'.

Since the code as-is generates a warning and doesn't fail the command,
it's not a candidate for stable.

Applied to target-pending/for-next, but dropping the stable CC' because
the single caller in cxgbit_release_cmd() is already checking to ensure
resources are only released on the first invocation.

So it's not a bug-fix.

Also, no need for a local (*release) function pointer and extra
assignment.

Dropping that part now, and squashing into the original patch.

In case of DDP cxgbit driver assigns cmd->se_cmd.t_data_sg to ttinfo->sgl
and calls dma_map_sg(), cxgbit_release_cmd() calls dma_unmap_sg(), it needs
a valid sg(ttinfo->sgl), before calling iscsit_release_cmd()
cmd->se_cmd.t_data_sg gets freed so ttinfo->sgl will not be valid if we move
->iscsit_release_cmd() to iscsit_release_cmd().

Please drop this patch, it will regress cxgbit driver, with this patch
scatterlist is freed before calling ->iscsit_release_cmd(), cxgbit
calls dma_unmap_sg() so scatterlist should not be freed before calling
->iscst_release_cmd().

Thanks for the heads up.  Dropping this patch for now.

To address this, AFAICT the cleanest approach is to simply do the
unmapping of DDP SGLs currently done by cxgbit_release_cmd(), directly
from a cxgbit specific iscsit_transport->iscsit_queue_rsp() callback.

That way, we can unmap the DDP SGLs immediately before invoking
iscsit_queue_rsp() from a cxgbit specific handler, and drop the
iscsi_transport->iscsit_release_cmd() callback alltogether.

WDYT..?

This approach will work in success case, but in failure
cases(digest errors, ...) ->iscsit_queue_status() is not called so dma umap
will not happen.

Indeed.

Looking at other hw drivers like qla2xxx that have this same
requirement, they do *_unmap_sg() once a completion interrupt has
triggered, but before target_core_fabric_ops->release_cmd() is invoked
and se_cmd->t_task_sg has already been freed.

So I'm open to adding a target_core_fabric_ops->unmap_sg() to do this
ahead of target_core_transport.c:transport_free_pages().

That said, snother option is to perform *_unmap_sg() internally in
cxgbit once DDP completion for WRITEs has completed, but before it's
submitted into iscsi_target -> target_core.

AFAICT from a quick scan of cxgbit code, the two scenarios for this
would be:

*) For ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD with immediate data, once
cxgbit_get_immediate_data() is invoked.  Either for all cases when this
is invoked (eg: does the DDP SGLs both immediate, unsolicited and
solicited data when mapped..?), or only when iscsi_cmd->immediate_data =
1 && iscsi_cmd_flags & ICF_GOT_LAST_DATAOUT is true.

*) For ISCSI_OP_SCSI_DATA_OUT with FINAL_BIT set, before
iscsit_check_dataout_payload() is called to invoke target_execute_cmd()

Current cxgbit code does following in cxgbit_release_cmd() 
1. put_page() in case of PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC.
2. dma_unmap_sg() DDP SGL.
3. free hw DDP resource.

If cxgbit does cleanup internally then lot of error handling code is
required in cxgbit driver, eg: - PDU with F bit set never arrives,
header digest errors etc.

Another approach to add target_core_fabrics_ops->unmap_sg() will not work
for ERL 2 case because for calling ->iscsit_unmap_sg() valid
cmd->conn pointer is required, in case of ERL 2 cmd->conn can be NULL,
but we can use this approach because in current cxgbit code I enable DDP
only for ERL 0 case, similiary I can add code
to enable PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC only for ERL 0 case.

Hello Varun,

Have you noticed that commit febe562c20df (target: Fix LUN_RESET active I/O
handling for ACK_KREF; January 2016) moved the transport_free_pages() call
from transport_put_cmd() to target_release_cmd_kref()? I think that means
that it is now safe to call .iscsit_release_cmd() after
transport_generic_free_cmd().

Thanks,

Bart.
