staging: unisys: visorhba: correct scsi task mgmt completion handling
This patch is necessary to enable ANY task mgmt command to complete
successfully via visorhba.
When issuing a task mgmt command (CMD_SCSITASKMGMT_TYPE) to the IO
partition (back-end), forward_taskmgmt_command() includes pointers
within the command area that will be used to wake up the issuing
process and provide the result when the command completes:
cmdrsp->scsitaskmgmt.notify_handle = (u64)¬ifyevent;
cmdrsp->scsitaskmgmt.notifyresult_handle = (u64)¬ifyresult;
'notify_handle' is a pointer to a 'wait_queue_head_t' variable, and
'notifyresult' is a pointer to an int. Both of these are just local
stack variables in the issuing process.
The way it's supposed to happen is that when the IO partition completes
the command, in our completion handling we get copies of those pointers
back from the IO partition, where we stash the result of the command at
'*notifyresult' (which should not be 0xffff, because that is the initial
value that the caller is looking to see a change in), and wake up the
wait queue at '*notify_handle'. There are several places we do that dance,
but prior to this patch, we always do it WRONG, like:
cmdrsp->scsitaskmgmt.notifyresult_handle = TASK_MGMT_FAILED;
wake_up_all((wait_queue_head_t *)cmdrsp->scsitaskmgmt.notify_handle);
The wake_up_all() part is correct (albeit with the help of the sloppy
pointer casting, but that's irrelevant to the bug), but the assignment of
'notifyresult_handle' is WRONG, and SHOULD read:
*(int *)(cmdrsp->scsitaskmgmt.notifyresult_handle) = TASK_MGMT_FAILED;
Without this change, the caller is NEVER going to notice a change in his
local value of 'notifyresult' when he does the:
if (!wait_event_timeout(notifyevent, notifyresult != 0xffff,
msecs_to_jiffies(45000)))
and hence will be timing out EVERY taskmgmt command.
This patch also eliminates the need for sloppy casting of pointers
back-and-forth between u64 values, with the help of idr_alloc() to provide
handles for us. It is the generated int handles we pass to the IO
partition to denote our completion context, and these are validated and
converted back to the required pointers when the task mgmt commands are
returned back to us by the IO partition.
== Testing ==
You must enable dynamic debugging in visorhba (build kernel with
'CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y', provide kernel parameter 'visorhba.dyndbg=+p')
to see kernel messages involved with visorhba scsi task mgmt commands,
which were added in this patch in the form of a few dev_dbg() / pr_debug()
messages.
In order to inject faults necessary to get visorhba to actully issue scsi
task mgmt commands, you will need to compile a kernel with
CONFIG_FAIL_IO_TIMEOUT and friends, in the "Kernel hacking" section:
* Enable "Fault-injection framework"
* Enable "Fault-injection capability for disk IO"
* Enable "Fault-injection capability for faking disk interrupts"
* Enable "Debugfs entries for fault-injection capabilities"
When running a kernel with those options, you can manually inject a fault
that will force a scsi task mgmt command to be issued like this:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout
# cat interval
1
# cat probability
0
# cat times
1
# echo 100 >probability
# cd /sys/block/sda
# l | grep fail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 5 10:53 io-timeout-fail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 5 10:54 make-it-fail
# echo 1 >io-timeout-fail
# echo 1 >make-it-fail
To test this patch, after performing the above steps, I did something to
force a block device i/o, then shortly afterwards examined the kernel log.
There I found evidence that visorhba had successfully issued a task mgmt
command, and that it completed successfully:
