[SCSI] mptfc: stall eh handlers if resetting while rport blocked

2006-10-25T22:12:21+00:00

Thanks to James Smart for the inspiration.

Stall error handler if attempting recovery while an rport is blocked.
This avoids device offline scenarios due to errors in the error handler.
Also verify that VirtDevice is available before issuing scsi command.
VirtDevice is removed when fc transport removes a target.

See James Smart's patch of 08/17/2006 for greater detail.

Also bump version number per Eric's request.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: remove local_attached flag

2006-08-28T03:30:11+00:00

This flag denotes local attachment of the phy.  There are two problems
with it:

1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply
by seeing whether a host is the phys parent
2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption
that we can only control local phys.  I'm wiring up phy resets in the
aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well.

I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function
of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't
(currently) control non-local phys.

[SCSI] mptfc: correct out of order event processing

2006-08-06T20:48:31+00:00

This patch corrects a problem in mptfc which can result in targets
being removed after executing an "lsiutil 99" reset of the fibre
channel ports.

The last rescan event was being processed before the setup reset work
due to an inappropriate optimization in the event processing logic.
Every rescan event is now queued for execution and the setup reset
work now executes in the proper sequence.

[SCSI] mptfc: properly wait for firmware target discovery to complete

2006-08-06T20:47:31+00:00

Based upon a conversation I had with LSI's fibre channel firmware guru,
this patch adds another condition under which the driver waits for the
firmware link initialization / target discovery to complete.
