This optimizes firewire-sbp2's device probe for the case that the local
node and the SBP-2 node were discovered at the same time. In this case,
fw-core's bus management work and fw-sbp2's login and SCSI probe work
are scheduled in parallel (in the globally shared workqueue and in
fw-sbp2's workqueue, respectively). The bus reset from fw-core may then
disturb and extremely delay the login and SCSI probe because the latter
fails with several command timeouts and retries and has to be retried
from scratch.
We avoid this particular situation of sbp2_login() and fw_card_bm_work()
running in parallel by delaying the first sbp2_login() a little bit.
This is meant to be a short-term fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466679. In the long run,
the SCSI probe, i.e. fw-sbp2's call of __scsi_add_device(), should be

queuecommand() looked at the remote and local node IDs before it read
the bus generation. The corresponding race with sbp2_reconnect updating
these data was probably impossible to happen though because the current
code blocks the SCSI layer during reconnection. However, better safe

1. We don't need to round the SBP-2 segment size limit down to a
multiple of 4 kB (0xffff -> 0xf000). It is only necessary to
ensure quadlet alignment (0xffff -> 0xfffc).
2. Use dma_set_max_seg_size() to tell the DMA mapping infrastructure
and the block IO layer about the restriction. This way we can
remove the size checks and segment splitting in the queuecommand
path.
This assumes that no other code in the firewire stack uses
dma_map_sg() with conflicting requirements. It furthermore assumes
that the controller device's platform actually allows us to set the
segment size to our liking. Assert the latter with a BUG_ON().
3. Also use blk_queue_max_segment_size() to tell the block IO layer
about it. It cannot know it because our scsi_add_host() does not
point to the FireWire controller's device.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's

- Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.
- Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
and is reflected in the patch below is.
MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
as per the SCSI standard and is not related
to the implementation.
BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level
- I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.
(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command

When a device changes its configuration ROM, it announces this with a
bus reset. firewire-core has to check which node initiated a bus reset
and whether any unit directories went away or were added on this node.
Tested with an IOI FWB-IDE01AB which has its link-on bit set if bus
power is available but does not respond to ROM read requests if self
power is off. This implements
- recognition of the units if self power is switched on after fw-core
gave up the initial attempt to read the config ROM,
- shutdown of the units when self power is switched off.
Also tested with a second PC running Linux/ieee1394. When the eth1394

Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT
register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the
register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in
initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)).
Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to
starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should
default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops).
Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and
any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable
to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled
out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device.
The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all
devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did).
Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip
would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI
layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB
of data around.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
While fw-sbp2 takes the necessary time to reconnect to a logical unit
after bus reset, the SCSI core keeps sending new commands. They are all
immediately completed with host busy status, and application clients or
filesystems will break quickly. The SCSI device might even be taken
offline: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9734
The only remedy seems to be to block the SCSI device until reconnect.
Alas the SCSI core has no useful API to block only one logical unit i.e.
the scsi_device, therefore we block the entire Scsi_Host. This
currently corresponds to an SBP-2 target. In case of targets with
multiple logical units, we need to satisfy the dependencies between
logical units by carefully tracking the blocking state of the target and
its units. We block all logical units of a target as soon as one of
them needs to be blocked, and keep them blocked until all of them are
ready to be unblocked.
Furthermore, as the history of the old sbp2 driver has shown, the
scsi_block_requests() API is a minefield with high potential of
deadlocks. We therefore take extra measures to keep logical units
unblocked during __scsi_add_device() and during shutdown.
This avoids I/O errors during reconnect in many but alas not in all
cases. There may still be errors after a re-login had to be performed.
Also, some bridges have been seen to cease fetching management ORBs if
I/O went on up until a bus reset. In these cases, all management ORBs
time out after mgt_orb_timeout. The old sbp2 driver is less vulnerable
or maybe not vulnerable to this, for as yet unknown reasons.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
fw-sbp2 is unable to reconnect while performing __scsi_add_device
because there is only a single workqueue thread context available for
both at the moment. This should be fixed eventually.
An actual failure of __scsi_add_device is easy to handle, but an
incomplete execution of __scsi_add_device with an sdev returned would
remain undetected and leave the SBP-2 target unusable.
Therefore we use a workaround: If there was a bus reset during
__scsi_add_device (i.e. during the SCSI probe), we remove the new sdev
immediately, log out, and attempt login and SCSI probe again.

If fw-sbp2 was too late with requesting the reconnect, the target would
reject this. In this case, log out before attempting the reconnect.
Else several firmwares will deny the re-login because they somehow
didn't invalidate the old login.

When a reconnect failed but re-login succeeded, __scsi_add_device was
called again.
In those cases, __scsi_add_device succeeded and returned the pointer to

it missed to call sbp2_cancel_orbs. SCSI core would call fw-sbp2's
eh_abort_handler eventually if there had been an outstanding command.
This patch avoids the needless lookups and temporary allocations in SCSI
core and I/O stall and timeout until eh_abort_handler hits.
Also, __scsi_add_device tolerating calls for devices which already exist

Several different SBP-2 bridges accept a login early while the IDE
device is still powering up. They are therefore unable to respond to
SCSI INQUIRY immediately, and the SCSI core has to retry the INQUIRY.
One of these retries is typically successful, and all is well.
But in case of Momobay FX-3A, the INQUIRY retries tend to fail entirely.
This can usually be avoided by waiting a little while after login before
letting the SCSI core send the INQUIRY. The old sbp2 driver handles
this more gracefully for as yet unknown reasons (perhaps because it
waits for fetch agent resets to complete, unlike fw-sbp2 which quickly
proceeds after requesting the agent reset). Therefore the workaround is
not as much necessary for sbp2.

Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of
1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates
reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login
and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s
after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target.
Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error
status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login.
All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target
which needs re-login is ready for I/O again.
The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored
by the target though. I found that we could get up to
- allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware
- 256s from LSI bridges
- 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges,
- 2s from TI bridges,
- only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from
Apple OpenFirmware in target mode.
We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few
HDDs on the same bus quite nicely.
A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border
case:
- two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to
a target,
- initiator 1 goes off the bus,
- target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold
seconds after bus reset.
An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize
fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.
