      [SCSI] dc395x: dynamically map scatter-gather for PIO · cdb8c2a6
      Guennadi Liakhovetski 提交于
      The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not
      get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver
      uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the
      actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem).
      So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address
      and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random
      data to the device.
      
      The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using
      kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it
      has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches
      more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was
      able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from
      Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was
      also able to test and debug it.
      
      There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and
      without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with
      and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also
      somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had
      PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG.
      It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but
      even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait
      if anybody cries...
      
      Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations
      in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel
      strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there
      is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are
      the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure
      either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere
      around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either,
      and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were
      discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate
      scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around
      crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like
      lib/scattergather.c? I am open here.

      [PATCH] fix missing includes · 4e57b681
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
      sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
      from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
      by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
      this disentangling (patch to follow later).
      However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
      
      In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
      possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
      i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
      patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
      adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
      hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
      will pick it up again in the next round.

      [SCSI] add global timeout to the scsi mid-layer · b21a4138
      James Bottomley 提交于
      There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return
      BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever.  This code will apply a global timeout (of
      the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given
      command.  If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its
      state.
      
      The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and
      timeout_total.
      
      This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer
      because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device.
      In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset,
      so possibly this should be tied into the error handler?
