      block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices · b277da0a
      由 Mike Snitzer 提交于 
      Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

      sd: medium access timeout counter fails to reset · 2a863ba8
      由 David Jeffery 提交于 
      There is an error with the medium access timeout feature of the sd driver. The
sdkp->medium_access_timed_out value is reset to zero in sd_done() in the wrong
place.  Currently it is reset to zero only when a command returns sense data.
This can result in cases where the medium access check falsely triggers from
timed out commands which are hours or days apart.

For example, an I/O command times out and is aborted.  It then retries and
succeeds.  But with no sense data generated and returned, the
medium_access_timed_out value is not reset.  If no sd command returns sense
data, then the next command to time out (however far in time from the first
failure) will trigger the medium access timeout and put the device offline.

The resetting of sdkp->medium_access_timed_out should occur before the check
for sense data.

To reproduce using scsi_debug, use SCSI_DEBUG_OPT_TIMEOUT or
SCSI_DEBUG_OPT_MAC_TIMEOUT to force an I/O command to timeout.  Then, remove
the opt value so the I/O will succeed on retry.  Perform more I/O as desired.
Finally, repeat the process to make a new I/O command time out.  Without the
patch, the device will be marked offline even though many I/O commands have
succeeded between the 2 instances of timed out commands.

      scsi: reintroduce scsi_driver.init_command · a1b73fc1
      由 Christoph Hellwig 提交于 
      Instead of letting the ULD play games with the prep_fn move back to
the model of a central prep_fn with a callback to the ULD.  This
already cleans up and shortens the code by itself, and will be required
to properly support blk-mq in the SCSI midlayer.

      block: remove struct request buffer member · b4f42e28
      由 Jens Axboe 提交于 
      This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

      scsi: async sd resume · 3c31b52f
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      async_schedule() sd resume work to allow disks and other devices to
resume in parallel.

This moves the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context to
ensure that scsi_device_resume() remains ordered with respect to the
completion of the start/stop command.  For the duration of the resume,
new command submissions (that do not originate from the scsi-core) will
be deferred (BLKPREP_DEFER).

It adds a new ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(scsi_sd_pm_domain) as a container
of these operations.  Like scsi_sd_probe_domain it is flushed at
sd_remove() time to ensure async ops do not continue past the
end-of-life of the sdev.  The implementation explicitly refrains from
reusing scsi_sd_probe_domain directly for this purpose as it is flushed
at the end of dpm_resume(), potentially defeating some of the benefit.
Given sdevs are quiesced it is permissible for these resume operations
to bleed past the async_synchronize_full() calls made by the driver
core.

We defer the resolution of which pm callback to call until
scsi_dev_type_{suspend|resume} time and guarantee that the callback
parameter is never NULL.  With this in place the type of resume
operation is encoded in the async function identifier.

There is a concern that async resume could trigger PSU overload.  In the
enterprise, storage enclosures enforce staggered spin-up regardless of
what the kernel does making async scanning safe by default.  Outside of
that context a user can disable asynchronous scanning via a kernel
command line or CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC.  Honor that setting when
deciding whether to do resume asynchronously.

Inspired by Todd's analysis and initial proposal [2]:

      [SCSI] Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers · 54b2b50c
      由 Martin K. Petersen 提交于 
      Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk
directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not
accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device
characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing
commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs
or excessive I/O errors.

This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

      block: Convert bio_iovec() to bvec_iter · a4ad39b1
      由 Kent Overstreet 提交于 
      For immutable biovecs, we'll be introducing a new bio_iovec() that uses
our new bvec iterator to construct a biovec, taking into account
bvec_iter->bi_bvec_done - this patch updates existing users for the new
usage.

Some of the existing users really do need a pointer into the bvec array
- those uses are all going to be removed, but we'll need the
functionality from immutable to remove them - so for now rename the
existing bio_iovec() -> __bio_iovec(), and it'll be removed in a couple
patches.
