All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer. Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them. Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.
The implementation is simplistic. In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything. (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.) There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.
LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume). Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.
The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered. If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count. If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.
Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running. In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).
Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html
=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
- copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
- do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
(data from device) variety. This would overwrite
some or all of the kernel buffer
- copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.
The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=
This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.
It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize
bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that
partition.
Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

sg_rq_end_io() is called via rq->end_io. In some rare cases,
sg_rq_end_io calls blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user (when a program
issuing a command has gone before the command completion; e.g. by
interrupting a program issuing a command before the command
completes).
We can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user in interrupt so the
commit c96952ed70 uses
execute_in_process_context().
The problem is that scsi_error_handler() calls rq->end_io too. We
can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user too in this path (we hold
q->queue_lock).
To avoid the above problem, in these rare cases, this patch always
uses schedule_work() instead of execute_in_process_context().

Most fasync implementations do something like:

But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do:
err = fasync_helper(...);
if (err < 0)
return err;
return 0;
In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

This fixes the following oops:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123316111415677&w=2
You can reproduce this bug by interrupting a program before a sg
response completes. This leads to the special sg state (the orphan
state), then sg calls blk_put_request in interrupt (rq->end_io).
The above bug report shows the recursive lock problem because sg calls
blk_put_request in interrupt. We could call __blk_put_request here
instead however we also need to handle blk_rq_unmap_user here, which
can't be called in interrupt too.
In the orphan state, we don't need to care about the data transfer
(the program revoked the command) so adding 'just free the resource'
mode to blk_rq_unmap_user is a possible option.
I prefer to avoid complicating the blk mapping API when possible. I
change the orphan state to call sg_finish_rem_req via
execute_in_process_context. We hold sg_fd->kref so sg_fd doesn't go
away until keventd_wq finishes our work. copy_from_user/to_user fails
so blk_rq_unmap_user just frees the resource without the data
transfer.

sg_io_owned needs to be set before the command is sent to the midlevel;
otherwise, a quickly-completing command may cause a different CPU
to see "srp->done == 1 && !srp->sg_io_owned", which would lead to
incorrect behavior.
Check srp->done and set srp->orphan while holding rq_list_lock to
prevent races with sg_rq_end_io().
There is no need to check sfp->closed from read/write/ioctl/poll/etc.
since the kernel guarantees that this won't happen.

sg has the following problems related to device removal:
* opening a sg fd races with removing a device
* closing a sg fd races with removing a device
* /proc/scsi/sg/* access races with removing a device
* command completion races with removing a device
* command completion races with closing a sg fd
* can rmmod sg with active commands
These problems can cause kernel oopses, memory-use-after-free, or
double-free errors. This patch fixes these problems by using krefs
to manage the lifetime of sg_device and sg_fd.
Each command submitted to the midlevel holds a reference to sg_fd
until the completion callback. This ensures that sg_fd doesn't go
away if the fd is closed with commands still outstanding.
sg_fd gets the reference of sg_device (with scsi_device) and also
makes sure that the sg module doesn't go away.
/proc/scsi/sg/* functions don't play nicely with krefs because they
give information about sg_fds which have been closed but not yet
freed due to still having outstanding commands and sg_devices which
have been removed but not yet freed due to still being referenced
by one or more sg_fds. To deal with this safely without removing
functionality, /proc functions now access sg_device and sg_fd while
holding a lock instead of using kref_get()/kref_put().

The commit 818827669d (block: make
blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space buffer) extended
blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ
command. It was necessary to convert sg to use the block layer mapping
API.
This patch extends blk_rq_map_user again for a WRITE command. It is
necessary to convert st and osst drivers to use the block layer
apping API.

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.
The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
isn't safe.
SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
gendisk.
This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.
The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
/sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and
SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at
the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit
cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length,
fixing Bugzilla #7026.
The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no
reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it
would be impossible to use the extra space.
The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly,
and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as
possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors.
Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices
don't have a reserved buffer.
Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a
uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for
any raw SCSI transport.

This sg driver patch addresses the problem with larger

Some other related matters are also addressed. Some of these
prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are
set to inappropriate values.
The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should
make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB
less one block, achievable with a relatively small number
of elements in the scatter gather list.
ChangeLog:
- add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module
parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ
- the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the
max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE)
It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power
of two
- clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements
that are no longer valid
- make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable

sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so
the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
free the page.
Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This
fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a
constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.
