      zfcp: auto port scan resiliency · 18f87a67
      Martin Peschke 提交于
      This patch improves the Fibre Channel port scan behaviour of the zfcp lldd.
      Without it the zfcp device driver may churn up the storage area network by
      excessive scanning and scan bursts, particularly in big virtual server
      environments, potentially resulting in interference of virtual servers and
      reduced availability of storage connectivity.
      
      The two main issues as to the zfcp device drivers automatic port scan in
      virtual server environments are frequency and simultaneity.
      On the one hand, there is no point in allowing lots of ports scans
      in a row. It makes sense, though, to make sure that a scan is conducted
      eventually if there has been any indication for potential SAN changes.
      On the other hand, lots of virtual servers receiving the same indication
      for a SAN change had better not attempt to conduct a scan instantly,
      that is, at the same time.
      
      Hence this patch has a two-fold approach for better port scanning:
      the introduction of a rate limit to amend frequency issues, and the
      introduction of a short random backoff to amend simultaneity issues.
      Both approaches boil down to deferred port scans, with delays
      comprising parts for both approaches.
      
      The new port scan behaviour is summarised best by:
      
                                                     NEW:    NEW:
                                no_auto_port_rescan  random  rate    flush
                                                     backoff limit   =wait
      
      adapter resume/thaw       yes                  yes     no      yes*
      adapter online (user)     no                   yes     no      yes*
      port rescan (user)        no                   no      no      yes
      adapter recovery (user)   yes                  yes     yes     no
      adapter recovery (other)  yes                  yes     yes     no
      incoming ELS              yes                  yes     yes     no
      incoming ELS lost         yes                  yes     yes     no
      
      Implementation is straight-forward by converting an existing worker to
      a delayed worker. But care is needed whenever that worker is going to be
      flushed (in order to make sure work has been completed), since a flush
      operation cancels the timer set up for deferred execution (see * above).
      
      There is a small race window whenever a port scan work starts
      running up to the point in time of storing the time stamp for that port
      scan. The impact is negligible. Closing that gap isn't trivial, though, and
      would the destroy the beauty of a simple work-to-delayed-work conversion.

      [SCSI] zfcp: No automatic port_rescan on events · 43f60cbd
      Steffen Maier 提交于
      In FC fabrics with large zones, the automatic port_rescan on incoming ELS
      and any adapter recovery can cause quite some traffic at the very same
      time, especially if lots of Linux images share an HBA, which is common on
      s390. This can cause trouble and failures. Fix this by making such port
      rescans dependent on a user configurable module parameter.
      
      The following unconditional automatic port rescans remain as is:
      On setting an adapter online and
      on manual user-triggered writes to the sysfs attribute port_rescan.

      s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names · a53c8fab
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
      cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
      
      Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
      different statements and wanted to change them one after another
      whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
      people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
      for new files.
      So unify all of them in one go.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      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.

      [SCSI] zfcp: Handle WWPN mismatch in PLOGI payload · 934aeb58
      Christof Schmitt 提交于
      For ports, zfcp gets the DID from the FC nameserver and tries to open
      the port. If the open succeeds, zfcp compares the WWPN from the
      nameserver with the WWPN in the PLOGI payload. In case of a mismatch,
      zfcp assumes that the DID of the port just changed and we opened the
      wrong port. This means that zfcp has to forget the DID, lookup the DID
      again and retry.
      
      This error case had a problem that zfcp forgets the DID, but never
      looks up a new one, stalling the ERP in this case. Fix this by
      triggering the DID lookup and properly exit from the ERP. The DID
      lookup will trigger a new ERP action.
      
      Also ensure when trying to open the port again with the new DID, first
      close the open port, even in the NOESC case.
