[SCSI] sd: remove arbitrary SD_MAX_DISKS namespace limit

2011-10-30T08:58:11+00:00

There is no reason to limit the SCSI disk namespace to sdXXX.

Add new error messages to sd_probe() in the unlikely event that either
ida_get_new() or sd_format_disk_name() fail.

[SCSI] sd: Use sd_printk() instead of printk()

2011-08-29T07:16:20+00:00

sd_ioctl() still use printk() for log output.
It should use sd_printk() instead of printk(), as well as other sd_*.

All SCSI messages should output via s*_printk() instead of printk().

[SCSI] Retrieve the Caching mode page (version 2)

2011-05-24T16:43:52+00:00

Some kernel transport drivers unconditionally disable
retrieval of the Caching mode page. One such for example is
the BBB/CBI transport over USB. Such a restraint is too
harsh as some devices do support the Caching mode
page. Unconditionally enabling the retrieval of this mode
page over those transports at their transport code level may
result in some devices failing and becoming unusable.

This patch implements a method of retrieving the Caching
mode page without unconditionally enabling it in the
transports which unconditionally disable it. The idea is to
ask for all supported pages, page code 0x3F, and then search
for the Caching mode page in the mode parameter data
returned. The sd driver already asks for all the mode pages
supported by the attached device by setting the page code to
0x3F in order to find out if the media is write protected by
reading the WP bit in the Device Specific Parameter
field. It then attempts to retrieve only the Caching mode
page by setting the page code to 8 and actually attempting
to retrieve it if and only if the transport allows it.

The method implemented here is that if the transport doesn't
allow retrieval of the Caching mode page and the device is
not RBC, then we ask for all pages supported by setting the
page code to 0x3F (similarly to how the WP bit is retrieved
above), and then we search for the Caching mode page in the
mode parameter data returned.

With this patch, devices over SATA, report this (no change):

Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 976773168 512-byte logical blocks: (500 GB/465 GiB)
Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0

Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

Smart devices report their Caching mode page. This is a
change where we'd previously see the kernel making
assumption about the device's cache being write-through:

Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 610472646 4096-byte logical blocks: (2.50 TB/2.27 TiB)

Oct 22 18:45:58 localhost kernel: sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA

And "dumb" devices over BBB, are correctly shown not to
support reporting the Caching mode page:

Oct 22 18:49:06 localhost kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] 15663104 512-byte logical blocks: (8.01 GB/7.46 GiB)
Oct 22 18:49:06 localhost kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off

Oct 22 18:49:06 localhost kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through

Version 2 adds this:

Some devices don't support page code 0x3F, and others require a
fixed transfer length of 192 bytes. This single commit includes a
patch by Alan Stern which fixes this.

This reverts commit 24d720b726c1a85f1962831ac30ad4d2ef8276b1.

Previously we thought there was little possibility that devices would
crash with this, but some have been found.

[SCSI] sd: Logical Block Provisioning update

2011-03-14T23:37:34+00:00

SBC3r26 contains many changes to the Logical Block Provisioning
interfaces (formerly known as Thin Provisioning ditto). This patch
implements support for both the old and new schemes using the same
heuristic as before (whether the LBP VPD page is present).

The new code also allows the provisioning mode (i.e. choice of command)
to be overridden on a per-device basis via sysfs. Two additional modes
are supported in this version:

 - WRITE SAME(10) with the UNMAP bit set

 - WRITE SAME(10) without the UNMAP bit set. This allows us to support
   devices that predate the TP/LBP enhancements in SBC3 and which work
   by way zero-detection

Switching between modes has been consolidated in a helper function that
also updates the block layer topology according to the limitations of
the chosen command.

I experimented with trying WRITE SAME(16) if UNMAP fails, WRITE SAME(10)
if WRITE SAME(16) fails, etc. but found several devices that got
cranky. So for now we'll disable discard if one of the commands
fail. The user still has the option of selecting a different mode in
sysfs.

[SCSI] sd,sr: kill compat SDEV_MEDIA_CHANGE event

2011-01-14T15:17:35+00:00

SDEV_MEDIA_CHANGE event was first added by commit a341cd0f (SCSI: add
asynchronous event notification API) for SATA AN support and then
extended to cover generic media change events by commit 285e9670
([SCSI] sr,sd: send media state change modification events).

This event was mapped to block device in userland with all properties
stripped to simulate CHANGE event on the block device, which, in turn,
was used to trigger further userspace action on media change.

The recent addition of disk event framework kept this event for
backward compatibility but it turns out to be unnecessary and causes
erratic and inefficient behavior.  The new disk event generates proper
events on the block devices and the compat events are mapped to block
device with all properties stripped, so the block device ends up
generating multiple duplicate events for single actual event.

This patch removes the compat event generation from both sr and sd as
suggested by Kay Sievers.  Both existing and newer versions of udev
and the associated tools will behave better with the removal of these
events as they from the beginning were expecting events on the block
devices.

[SCSI] sd: implement sd_check_events()

2011-01-14T15:17:34+00:00

Replace sd_media_change() with sd_check_events().

* Move media removed logic into set_media_not_present() and
  media_not_present() and set sdev->changed iff an existing media is
  removed or the device indicates UNIT_ATTENTION.

* Make sd_check_events() sets sdev->changed if previously missing
  media becomes present.

* Event is reported only if sdev->changed is set.

This makes media presence event reported if scsi_disk->media_present
actually changed or the device indicated UNIT_ATTENTION.  For backward
compatibility, SDEV_EVT_MEDIA_CHANGE is generated each time
sd_check_events() detects media change event.
