scsi: use 64-bit LUNs

2014-07-17T20:07:37+00:00

The SCSI standard defines 64-bit values for LUNs, and large arrays
employing large or hierarchical LUN numbers become more and more
common.

So update the linux SCSI stack to use 64-bit LUN numbers.

[SCSI] Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers

2013-11-29T04:48:39+00:00

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk
directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not
accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device
characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing
commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs
or excessive I/O errors.

This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference

2013-11-20T00:27:39+00:00

It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.

It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
(instead of test for fibsize == 0).

added a check on CAP_SYS_RAWIO to the ioctl.  The compat ioctls need the

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "The patch set is mostly driver updates (usf, zfcp, lpfc, mpt2sas,
  megaraid_sas, bfa, ipr) and a few bug fixes.  Also of note is that the
  Buslogic driver has been rewritten to a better coding style and 64 bit
  support added.  We also removed the libsas limitation on 16 bytes for
  the command size (currently no drivers make use of this)"

drivers: avoid parsing names as kthread_run() format strings

2013-07-03T23:07:41+00:00

Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

[SCSI] aacraid: Fix for arrays are going offline in the system. System hangs

2013-06-27T01:01:42+00:00

One of the customer had reported that the set of raid logical arrays will
become unavailable (I/O offline) after a long hours of IO stress test.  The OS
wouldn`t be accessible afterwards and require a hard reset.

This driver patch has a fix for race condition between the doorbell and the
circular buffer. The driver is modified to do an extra read after clearing the
doorbell in case there had been a completion posted during the small timing
window.

With this fix, we ran IO stress for ~13 days. There were no IO failures.
