<title>[SCSI] scsi_debug: add LBPRZ support</title>

<id>be1dd78de5686c062bb3103f9e86d444a10ed783</id>
<content type='text'>
Add LBPRZ support to scsi_debug; i.e. read zeros for
unmapped blocks.

Rather than checking for unmapped blocks at
read time, this just zeroes them on the backing store
at unmap time so it behaves the same way.

This also adds a module parameter to disable it.

lbprz, "unmapped blocks return 0 on read (def=1)"

<title>[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands</title>

<id>18a4d0a22ed6c54b67af7718c305cd010f09ddf8</id>
<content type='text'>
We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.

The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.

If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.

Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

<title>[SCSI] scsi_debug: GET LBA STATUS response length correction</title>

<id>de13e9654e308db6bde49c779410512ad9659bc0</id>
<content type='text'>
The SCSI GET LBA STATUS command was introduced in SBC-3 revision
20 in September 2009. At that time the Parameter Data Length
field in the response had an associated byte offset of 8.

Then in SBC-3 revision 25 (October 2010) that byte offset was
changed to 4. The sg_get_lba_status utility in sg3_utils version
1.33 (released earlier today) has been changed to calculate
the newer response length. However the implementation of
GET LBA STATUS command in the scsi_debug driver still uses the
original byte offset.

modify the Parameter Data Length field value in the GET LBA STATUS command
response to comply with the change in SBC-3 revision 25

A useful test case for error recovery is multiple,
consecutive medium errors. When scsi_debug is started
with "opts=2" a MEDIUM ERROR is generated when block
0x1234 (4660) is read. The patch extends that to
10 consecutive blocks from 0x1234 (i.e. blocks 4660 to
4669 inclusive).

time to read data: 0.047943 secs at 49.87 MB/sec

BTW Change /dev/sg1 (bsg device works just as well) to
/dev/sdb to see why, with faulty media, you do not want
to use the block layer interface. Reason: time block
layer takes to do useless retries and collateral damage
to data in its 4 KB blocks (O_DIRECT mitigates the
latter).

ChangeLog:
    - extend opts=2 medium error generation at block
      0x1234 to 10 consecutive blocks (i.e. blocks
      0x1234 to 0x123d).

A useful test case for error recovery is multiple,
consecutive medium errors. When scsi_debug is started
with "opts=2" a MEDIUM ERROR is generated when block
0x1234 (4660) is read. The patch extends that to
10 consecutive blocks from 0x1234 (i.e. blocks 4660 to
4669 inclusive).
