      [SCSI] hptiop: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference · 1db90ea2

      The end of the function is reachable both when host is and is not NULL.
      
      A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
      follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
      
      // <smpl>

            when != E = E1
      * E->f

      [SCSI] mptsas: fix hangs caused by ATA pass-through · 2a1b7e57
      Ryan Kuester 提交于
      I may have an explanation for the LSI 1068 HBA hangs provoked by ATA
      pass-through commands, in particular by smartctl.
      
      First, my version of the symptoms.  On an LSI SAS1068E B3 HBA running
      01.29.00.00 firmware, with SATA disks, and with smartd running, I'm seeing
      occasional task, bus, and host resets, some of which lead to hard faults of
      the HBA requiring a reboot.  Abusively looping the smartctl command,
      
          # while true; do smartctl -a /dev/sdb > /dev/null; done
      
      dramatically increases the frequency of these failures to nearly one per
      minute.  A high IO load through the HBA while looping smartctl seems to
      improve the chance of a full scsi host reset or a non-recoverable hang.
      
      I reduced what smartctl was doing down to a simple test case which
      causes the hang with a single IO when pointed at the sd interface.  See
      the code at the bottom of this e-mail.  It uses an SG_IO ioctl to issue
      a single pass-through ATA identify device command.  If the buffer
      userspace gives for the read data has certain alignments, the task is
      issued to the HBA but the HBA fails to respond.  If run against the sg
      interface, neither the test code nor smartctl causes a hang.
      
      sd and sg handle the SG_IO ioctl slightly differently.  Unless you
      specifically set a flag to do direct IO, sg passes a buffer of its own,
      which is page-aligned, to the block layer and later copies the result
      into the userspace buffer regardless of its alignment.  sd, on the other
      hand, always does direct IO unless the userspace buffer fails an
      alignment test at block/blk-map.c line 57, in which case a page-aligned
      buffer is created and used for the transfer.
      
      The alignment test currently checks for word-alignment, the default
      setup by scsi_lib.c; therefore, userspace buffers of almost any
      alignment are given directly to the HBA as DMA targets.  The LSI 1068
      hardware doesn't seem to like at least a couple of the alignments which
      cross a page boundary (see the test code below).  Curiously, many
      page-boundary-crossing alignments do work just fine.
      
      So, either the hardware has an bug handling certain alignments or the
      hardware has a stricter alignment requirement than the driver is
      advertising.  If stricter alignment is required, then in no case should
      misaligned buffers from userspace be allowed through without being
      bounced or at least causing an error to be returned.
      
      It seems the mptsas driver could use blk_queue_dma_alignment() to advertise
      a stricter alignment requirement.  If it does, sd does the right thing and
      bounces misaligned buffers (see block/blk-map.c line 57).  The following
      patch to 2.6.34-rc5 makes my symptoms go away.  I'm sure this is the wrong
      place for this code, but it gets my idea across.

      [SCSI] ibmvscsi: Fix oops when an interrupt is pending during probe · 8f83d768

      A driver needs to be ready to take an interrupt as soon as it registers
      an interrupt handler. I noticed the following oops when testing kdump:
