<title>treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts</title>

<content type='text'>
With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

<id>b0e17a9b0df29590c45dfb296f541270a5941f41</id>
<content type='text'>
Fixes the following lockdep warning that can occur when scsi-mq is
enabled with ipr due to ipr calling scsi_unblock_requests from irq
context. The fix is to move the call to scsi_unblock_requests to ipr's
existing workqueue.

On a dual controller setup with multipath enabled, some MEDIUM ERRORs
caused both paths to be failed, thus I/O got queued/blocked since the
'queue_if_no_path' feature is enabled by default on IPR controllers.

This example disabled 'queue_if_no_path' so the I/O failure is seen at
the sg_dd program.  Notice that after the sg_dd test-case, both paths
are in 'failed' state, and both path/priority groups are in 'enabled'
state (not 'active') -- which would block I/O with 'queue_if_no_path'.

    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      `- 1:2:7:0  sdae 65:224 failed undef running

This is not the desired behavior. The dm-multipath explicitly checks
for the MEDIUM ERROR case (and a few others) so not to fail the path
(e.g., I/O to other sectors could potentially happen without problems).
See dm-mpath.c :: do_end_io_bio() -&gt; noretry_error() !-&gt;! fail_path().

The problem trace is:

1) ipr_scsi_done()  // SENSE KEY/CHECK CONDITION detected, go to..
2) ipr_erp_start()  // ipr_is_gscsi() and masked_ioasc OK, go to..
3) ipr_gen_sense()  // masked_ioasc is IPR_IOASC_MED_DO_NOT_REALLOC,
                    // so set DID_PASSTHROUGH.

4) scsi_decide_disposition()  // check for DID_PASSTHROUGH and return
                              // early on, faking a DID_OK.. *instead*
                              // of reaching scsi_check_sense().

                              // Had it reached the latter, that would
                              // set host_byte to DID_MEDIUM_ERROR.

5) scsi_finish_command()
6) scsi_io_completion()
7) __scsi_error_from_host_byte()  // That would be converted to -ENODATA
&lt;...&gt;
8) dm_softirq_done()
9) multipath_end_io()
10) do_end_io()
11) noretry_error()  // And that is checked in dm-mpath :: noretry_error()
                     // which would cause fail_path() not to be called.

With this patch applied, the I/O is failed but the paths are not.  This
multipath device continues accepting more I/O requests without blocking.
(and notice the different host byte/driver byte handling per SCSI layer).
