When a host is configured with a few LUNs and I/O is running, injecting
FC faults repeatedly leads to path recovery problems.  The LUNs have 4
paths each and 3 of them come back active after say an FC fault which
makes 2 of the paths go down, instead of all 4. This happens after
several iterations of continuous FC faults.

Reason here is that we're returning an I/O error whenever we're
encountering sense code 06/04/0a (LOGICAL UNIT NOT ACCESSIBLE, ASYMMETRIC
ACCESS STATE TRANSITION) instead of retrying.

The purpose of the counters is to enable all ULDs attached to a device to
find out that a New Media or/and Power On/Reset Unit Attentions has/have
been set, even if another ULD catches the Unit Attention as response to a
SCSI command.

The ULDs can read the counters and see if the values have changed from the
previous check.

Commit 4373534a9850 ("scsi: core: Move scsi_host_busy() out of host lock
for waking up EH handler") intended to fix a hard lockup issue triggered by
EH. The core idea was to move scsi_host_busy() out of the host lock when
processing individual commands for EH. However, a suggested style change
inadvertently caused scsi_host_busy() to remain under the host lock. Fix
this by calling scsi_host_busy() outside the lock.

Inside scsi_eh_wakeup(), scsi_host_busy() is called &amp; checked with host
lock every time for deciding if error handler kthread needs to be waken up.

This can be too heavy in case of recovery, such as:

 - N hardware queues

 - queue depth is M for each hardware queue

 - each scsi_host_busy() iterates over (N * M) tag/requests

If recovery is triggered in case that all requests are in-flight, each
scsi_eh_wakeup() is strictly serialized, when scsi_eh_wakeup() is called
for the last in-flight request, scsi_host_busy() has been run for (N * M -
1) times, and request has been iterated for (N*M - 1) * (N * M) times.

If both N and M are big enough, hard lockup can be triggered on acquiring
host lock, and it is observed on mpi3mr(128 hw queues, queue depth 8169).

Fix the issue by calling scsi_host_busy() outside the host lock. We don't
need the host lock for getting busy count because host the lock never
covers that.

<id>6df0e077d76bd144c533b61d6182676aae6b0a85</id>
<content type='text'>
When libata calls ata_link_abort() to abort all ata queued commands, it
calls blk_abort_request() on the SCSI command representing each QC.

This causes scsi_timeout() to be called, which calls scsi_eh_scmd_add() for
each SCSI command.

scsi_eh_scmd_add() sets the SCSI host to state recovery, and then adds the
command to shost-&gt;eh_cmd_q.

This will wake up the SCSI EH, and eventually the libata EH strategy
handler will be called, which calls scsi_eh_flush_done_q() to either flush
retry or flush finish each failed command.

The commands that are flush retried by scsi_eh_flush_done_q() are done so
using scsi_queue_insert().

Before commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the requeue list if
necessary"), __scsi_queue_insert() called blk_mq_requeue_request() with the
second argument set to true, indicating that it should always kick/run the
requeue list after inserting.

After commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the requeue list if
necessary"), __scsi_queue_insert() does not kick/run the requeue list after
inserting, if the current SCSI host state is recovery (which is the case in
the libata example above).

This optimization is probably fine in most cases, as I can only assume that
most often someone will eventually kick/run the queues.

However, that is not the case for scsi_eh_flush_done_q(), where we can see
that the request gets inserted to the requeue list, but the queue is never
started after the request has been inserted, leading to the block layer
waiting for the completion of command that never gets to run.

Since scsi_eh_flush_done_q() is called by SCSI EH context, the SCSI host
state is most likely always in recovery when this function is called.

Thus, let scsi_eh_flush_done_q() explicitly kick the requeue list after
inserting a flush retry command, so that scsi_eh_flush_done_q() keeps the
same behavior as before commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the
requeue list if necessary").

Simple reproducer for the libata example above:
$ hdparm -Y /dev/sda
$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:0\:0/device/delete

When libata calls ata_link_abort() to abort all ata queued commands, it
calls blk_abort_request() on the SCSI command representing each QC.

This causes scsi_timeout() to be called, which calls scsi_eh_scmd_add() for
each SCSI command.

scsi_eh_scmd_add() sets the SCSI host to state recovery, and then adds the
command to shost-&gt;eh_cmd_q.

This will wake up the SCSI EH, and eventually the libata EH strategy
handler will be called, which calls scsi_eh_flush_done_q() to either flush
retry or flush finish each failed command.

The commands that are flush retried by scsi_eh_flush_done_q() are done so
using scsi_queue_insert().

Before commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the requeue list if
necessary"), __scsi_queue_insert() called blk_mq_requeue_request() with the
second argument set to true, indicating that it should always kick/run the
requeue list after inserting.

After commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the requeue list if
necessary"), __scsi_queue_insert() does not kick/run the requeue list after
inserting, if the current SCSI host state is recovery (which is the case in
the libata example above).

This optimization is probably fine in most cases, as I can only assume that
most often someone will eventually kick/run the queues.

However, that is not the case for scsi_eh_flush_done_q(), where we can see
that the request gets inserted to the requeue list, but the queue is never
started after the request has been inserted, leading to the block layer
waiting for the completion of command that never gets to run.

Since scsi_eh_flush_done_q() is called by SCSI EH context, the SCSI host
state is most likely always in recovery when this function is called.

Thus, let scsi_eh_flush_done_q() explicitly kick the requeue list after
inserting a flush retry command, so that scsi_eh_flush_done_q() keeps the
same behavior as before commit 8b566edbdbfb ("scsi: core: Only kick the

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "Updates to the usual drivers (ufs, mpi3mr, mpt3sas, lpfc, fnic,
  hisi_sas, arcmsr, ) plus the usual assorted minor fixes and updates.

  This time around there's only a single line update to the core, so
  nothing major and barely anything minor"
