commit de202d2251bc181c6019b1ad3c0ba8133e5ec68d upstream.

If a command times out while we have deferred non-NCQ commands waiting to
be issued, the SCSI EH task is not immediately woken up as the waiting
deferred commands are never issued nor completed, thus leaving the SCSI
host in a busy state (shost-&gt;host_failed != scsi_host_busy(shost)) which
prevents the SCSI EH task from being woken up. Eventually, when the
deferred commands also time out, the SCSI EH task is woken up and the
timeout processing occurs.

Avoid this unnecessary additional SCSI EH wake up time with the same
method as implemented in libata-scsi, using the eh_timed_out SCSI host
template operation. The function sas_eh_timed_out() implements this
operation and executes the function ata_scsi_retry_deferred_qc()
for SATA devices.

<title>scsi: libsas: Fix HA resume deadlock and hisi_sas disk-wake race</title>

[ Upstream commit 3dbbbf656b850c9c8de05df6ad4a1dfc6ff02845 ]

Commit fbefe22811c3 ("scsi: libsas: Don't always drain event workqueue
for HA resume") introduced sas_resume_ha_no_sync() to avoid a deadlock:
the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler, running on the HA event workqueue,
calls sas_deform_port() -&gt; sas_destruct_devices(), which removes SCSI
devices and waits for the host to become runtime-active. But the host
cannot resume until sas_resume_ha() -&gt; sas_drain_work() returns, and the
drain is blocked on that very handler.

However skipping the drain reintroduces a race: hisi_sas returns from
resume before all PHY UP work and libsas discovery work finish. The
controller may then autosuspend while disks are still waking up. The
disks issue IO to a suspended controller, the IO fails, and the disks
get disabled.

Fix the deadlock at its source by moving the PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT
notification to after sas_drain_work(). By then the host resume is about
to complete, so device removal through device_link no longer blocks on
the resume and the cycle is broken.

With the deadlock gone, restore sas_resume_ha() (the draining variant)
in hisi_sas and remove sas_resume_ha_no_sync().

The reorder is safe for the other libsas consumers (isci, pm8001,
aic94xx, mvsas). During suspend, sas_suspend_devices() calls
sas_notify_lldd_dev_gone() for each device, which sets dev-&gt;lldd_dev to
NULL. When scsi_unblock_requests re-enables I/O in resume, any I/O to a
timed-out phy's disk is immediately rejected by the LLDD before reaching
hardware: isci returns SAS_DEVICE_UNKNOWN (mapped to DID_BAD_TARGET),
and pm8001 returns SAS_PHY_DOWN (mapped to DID_NO_CONNECT). Both
complete directly via scsi_done() without entering SCSI EH. This is
identical in both the old and new ordering since lldd_dev_gone runs
during suspend, before resume. The reorder only affects when the
PHYE_RESUME_TIMEOUT handler runs (synchronized by sas_drain_work()
vs. asynchronous after resume returns), not whether I/O can reach the
device. aic94xx and mvsas do not register any PM ops and never reach
this code path.

[ Upstream commit dccf3b1798b70f94e958b3d00b83010399e6fb05 ]

Drivers which use the scsi_schedule_eh function to run the error handler
currently risk the error handler thread never waking once all commands are
timed out or inactive. There is no enforced memory order between setting
the host into error recovery state and counting busy commands. This can
result in a race with scsi_dec_host_busy where neither CPU sees both
conditions of all commands inactive and the host error state to request
waking the error handler.

To fix this, run the scsi_schedule_eh's scsi_eh_wakeup from a new work item
which will use rcu to ensure scsi_schedule_eh's call to scsi_host_busy will
occur after the error state is globally visible and will be seen by any
current scsi_dec_host_busy callers.

<title>scsi: core: Drop using the host_lock to protect async_scan race condition</title>

Previously, host_lock was used to prevent bit-set conflicts in async_scan,
but this approach introduced naked reads in some code paths.

Convert async_scan from a bitfield to a bool type to eliminate bit-level
conflicts entirely. Use __guarded_by(&amp;scan_mutex) to indicate that the
async_scan variable is protected by scan_mutex.

Add a 'serial' sysfs attribute for SCSI and SATA devices. This attribute
exposes the Unit Serial Number, which is derived from the Device
Identification Vital Product Data (VPD) page 0x80.

Whitespace is stripped from the retrieved serial number to handle the
different alignment (right-aligned for SCSI, potentially left-aligned for
SATA). As noted in SAT-5 10.5.3, "Although SPC-5 defines the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field as right-aligned, ACS-5 does not require its SERIAL NUMBER
field to be right-aligned. Therefore, right-alignment of the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field for the translation is not assured."

This attribute is used by tools such as lsblk to display the serial number
of block devices.

In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

Uwe Kleine-König &lt;u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com&gt; says:

Hello,

this is v2 of the series to make the scsi subsystem stop using the
callbacks .probe(), .remove() and .shutdown() of struct device_driver.
Instead use their designated alternatives in struct bus_type.

The eventual goal is to drop the callbacks from struct device_driver.

The 2nd patch introduces some legacy handling for drivers still using
the device_driver callbacks. This results in a runtime warning (in
driver_register()). The following patches convert all in-tree drivers
(and thus fix the warnings one after another).
Conceptually this legacy handling could be dropped at the end of the
series, but I think this is a bad idea because this silently breaks
out-of-tree drivers (which also covers drivers that are currently
prepared for mainline submission) and in-tree drivers I might have
missed (though I'm convinced I catched them all). That convinces me that
keeping the legacy handling for at least one development cycle is the
right choice. I'll care for that at the latest when I remove the
callbacks from struct device_driver.

<title>scsi: core: sysfs: Make use of bus callbacks</title>

Introduce a bus-specific probe, remove and shutdown function. For now
this only allows to get rid of a cast of the generic device to a SCSI
device in the drivers and changes the remove prototype to return
void---a non-zero return value is ignored anyhow.

The objective is to get rid of users of struct device_driver callbacks
.probe(), .remove() and .shutdown() to eventually remove these. Until
all SCSI drivers are converted, this results in a runtime warning about
the drivers needing an update because there is a bus probe function and
a driver probe function. The in-tree drivers are fixed by the following
commits.
