[ Upstream commit 1c393b970e0f4070e4376d45f89a2d19a5c895d0 ]

Now libsas hotplug work is static, every sas event type has its own
static work, LLDD driver queues the hotplug work into shost-&gt;work_q.  If
LLDD driver burst posts lots hotplug events to libsas, the hotplug
events may pending in the workqueue like

shost-&gt;work_q
new work[PORTE_BYTES_DMAED] --&gt; |[PHYE_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL][PORTE_BYTES_DMAED] -&gt; processing
                                |&lt;-------wait worker to process--------&gt;|

In this case, a new PORTE_BYTES_DMAED event coming, libsas try to queue
it to shost-&gt;work_q, but this work is already pending, so it would be
lost. Finally, libsas delete the related sas port and sas devices, but
LLDD driver expect libsas add the sas port and devices(last sas event).

This patch use dynamic allocated work to avoid this issue.

commit 3be8828fc507cdafe7040a3dcf361a2bcd8e305b upstream.

Avoid that the recently introduced call_rcu() call in the SCSI core
triggers a double call_rcu() call.

commit 3bd6f43f5cb3714f70c591514f344389df593501 upstream.

If scsi_eh_scmd_add() is called concurrently with
scsi_host_queue_ready() while shost-&gt;host_blocked &gt; 0 then it can
happen that neither function wakes up the SCSI error handler. Fix
this by making every function that decreases the host_busy counter
wake up the error handler if necessary and by protecting the
host_failed checks with the SCSI host lock.

<title>scsi: libsas: align sata_device's rps_resp on a cacheline</title>
<updated>2017-11-22T04:06:32+00:00</updated>
<author>

<id>c2e8fbf908afd81ad502b567a6639598f92c9b9d</id>
<content type='text'>
The rps_resp buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't
explicitly cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be
overwritten with stale data from memory on non-coherent architectures.
As a result, the kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an SATA
device behind a SAS expander.

Fix this by ensuring that the rps_resp buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f93 ("libata:
align ap-&gt;sector_buf") and Commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26 ("libata: Align
ata_device's id on a cacheline").

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
     trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
     unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

   - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

   - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
     hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
     seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
     No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

   - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
     really exciting"

<title>block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably</title>
<updated>2017-11-11T02:53:25+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Bart Van Assche</name>
<email>bart.vanassche@wdc.com</email>
</author>
<published>2017-11-09T18:49:58+00:00</published>

The contexts from which a SCSI device can be quiesced or resumed are:
* Writing into /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/state.
* SCSI parallel (SPI) domain validation.
* The SCSI device power management methods. See also scsi_bus_pm_ops.

It is essential during suspend and resume that neither the filesystem
state nor the filesystem metadata in RAM changes. This is why while
the hibernation image is being written or restored that SCSI devices
are quiesced. The SCSI core quiesces devices through scsi_device_quiesce()
and scsi_device_resume(). In the SDEV_QUIESCE state execution of
non-preempt requests is deferred. This is realized by returning
BLKPREP_DEFER from inside scsi_prep_state_check() for quiesced SCSI
devices. Avoid that a full queue prevents power management requests
to be submitted by deferring allocation of non-preempt requests for
devices in the quiesced state. This patch has been tested by running
the following commands and by verifying that after each resume the
fio job was still running:

for ((i=0; i&lt;10; i++)); do
  (
    cd /sys/block/md0/md &amp;&amp;
    while true; do
      [ "$(&lt;sync_action)" = "idle" ] &amp;&amp; echo check &gt; sync_action
      sleep 1
    done
  ) &amp;
  pids=($!)
  for d in /sys/class/block/sd*[a-z]; do
    bdev=${d#/sys/class/block/}
    hcil=$(readlink "$d/device")
    hcil=${hcil#../../../}
    echo 4 &gt; "$d/queue/nr_requests"
    echo 1 &gt; "/sys/class/scsi_device/$hcil/device/queue_depth"
    fio --name="$bdev" --filename="/dev/$bdev" --buffered=0 --bs=512 \
      --rw=randread --ioengine=libaio --numjobs=4 --iodepth=16       \
      --iodepth_batch=1 --thread --loops=$((2**31)) &amp;
    pids+=($!)
  done
  sleep 1
  echo "$(date) Hibernating ..." &gt;&gt;hibernate-test-log.txt
  systemctl hibernate
  sleep 10
  kill "${pids[@]}"
  echo idle &gt; /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
