<id>785538bfdd682c8e962341d585f9b88262a0475e</id>
<content type='text'>
Although commit 88f1669019bd ("scsi: sd: Rework asynchronous resume support")
eliminates a delay for some ATA disks after resume, it causes resume of ATA
disks to fail on other setups. See also:

 * "Resume process hangs for 5-6 seconds starting sometime in 5.16"
   (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215880).

 * Geert's regression report
   (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2207191125130.1006766@ramsan.of.borg/).

This is what I understand about this issue:

 * During resume, ata_port_pm_resume() starts the SCSI error handler.  This
   changes the SCSI host state into SHOST_RECOVERY and causes
   scsi_queue_rq() to return BLK_STS_RESOURCE.

 * sd_resume() calls sd_start_stop_device() for ATA devices. That function
   in turn calls sd_submit_start() which tries to submit a START STOP UNIT
   command. That command can only be submitted after the SCSI error handler
   has changed the SCSI host state back to SHOST_RUNNING.

 * The SCSI error handler runs on its own thread and calls
   schedule_work(&amp;(ap-&gt;scsi_rescan_task)). That causes
   ata_scsi_dev_rescan() to be called from the context of a kernel
   workqueue. That call hangs in blk_mq_get_tag(). I'm not sure why - maybe
   because all available tags have been allocated by sd_submit_start()
   calls (this is a guess).

<title>scsi: core: Fix passthrough retry counter handling</title>

Passthrough users will set the scsi_cmnd-&gt;allowed value and were expecting
up to $allowed retries. The problem is that before:

commit 6aded12b10e0 ("scsi: core: Remove struct scsi_request")

we used to set the retries on the scsi_request then copy them over to
scsi_cmnd-&gt;allowed in scsi_setup_scsi_cmnd. With that patch we now set
scsi_cmnd-&gt;allowed to 0 in scsi_prepare_cmd and overwrite what the
passthrough user set.

This moves the allowed initialization to after the blk_rq_is_passthrough()
check so it's only done for the non-passthrough path where the ULD
init_command will normally set an allowed value it prefers.

<title>scsi: core: Allow the ALUA transitioning state enough time</title>

The error path for the SCSI check condition of not ready, target in ALUA
state transition, will result in the failure of that path after the retries
are exhausted. In most cases that is well ahead of the transition timeout
established in the SCSI ALUA device handler.

Instead, reprep the command and re-add it to the queue after a 1 second
delay. This will allow the handler to take care of the timeout and only
fail the path if the target has exceeded the transition expiry timeout
(default 60 seconds). If the expiry timeout is exceeded, the handler will
change the path state from transitioning to standby leading to a path
failure eliminating the potential of this re-prep to continue endlessly. In
most cases the target will exit the transitioning state well before the
expiry timeout but after the retries are exhausted as mentioned.

Additionally remove the scsi_io_completion_reprep() function which provides
little value.

<title>scsi: qla2xxx: Disable ATIO interrupt coalesce for quad port ISP27XX</title>

<id>53661ded2460b414644532de6b99bd87f71987e9</id>
<content type='text'>
This partially reverts commit d2b292c3f6fd ("scsi: qla2xxx: Enable ATIO
interrupt handshake for ISP27XX")

For some workloads where the host sends a batch of commands and then
pauses, ATIO interrupt coalesce can cause some incoming ATIO entries to be
ignored for extended periods of time, resulting in slow performance,
timeouts, and aborted commands.

Disable interrupt coalesce and re-enable the dedicated ATIO MSI-X
interrupt.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for syscall stack randomization

 - Add support for atomic operations to the 32 &amp; 64-bit BPF JIT

 - Full support for KASAN on 64-bit Book3E

 - Add a watchdog driver for the new PowerVM hypervisor watchdog

 - Add a number of new selftests for the Power10 PMU support

 - Add a driver for the PowerVM Platform KeyStore

 - Increase the NMI watchdog timeout during live partition migration, to
   avoid timeouts due to increased memory access latency

 - Add support for using the 'linux,pci-domain' device tree property for
   PCI domain assignment

 - Many other small features and fixes
