(switched to email. Please respond via emailed reply-to-all, not via the bugzilla web interface).

For some reason this didn't come out on linux-scsi when I reassigned it to scsi.

I will try booting the server on vanilla kernel but I'm not sure when (we already rebooted it 2 times recently and users won't enjoy it).

Hi TOMO.

This might not be enough for example I don't see the allocation of sense_buffer. It might be much easer to allocate using the new command allocation API James did, just for such cases. These are: scsi_allocate_command/scsi_free_command

Thanks
Boaz

Yeah, it might be. It's fine by me too. But this code path is used only for issuing internal special commands. It doesn't use the great portion of scsi_cmnd. For example, these commands don't use sense buffer, I think. The code path uses scsi_cmnd just for hooking scb_t, a structure that megaraid allocates per command.

OK Thanks.
I was not sure because it looks like in mega_cmd_done(), if the status is 0x2 (CHECK_CONDITION) then it would set the sense_buffer. But from what you say, the HW will never return 0x2 in case of an Internal-Command. I Just wanted to make sure.

OK Thanks.
I was not sure because it looks like in mega_cmd_done(), if the status is 0x2 (CHECK_CONDITION) then it would set the sense_buffer. But from what you say, the HW will never return 0x2 in case of an Internal-Command. I Just wanted to make sure.

I thought that all internal commands are non SCSI command but seems that there is one exception (issuing INQUIRY as an internal command). I'm not sure I understand correctly the driver but anyway here is a version using scsi_allocate_command and scsi_free_command.

I guess that we need to check the kzalloc failure too but it is supposed to be fixed by a different patch.

Hi TOMO.

This might not be enough for example I don't see the allocation of sense_buffer. It might be much easer to allocate using the new command allocation API James did, just for such cases. These are: scsi_allocate_command/scsi_free_command

Quoted 5 lines

Yeah, it might be. It's fine by me too. But this code path is used only for issuing internal special commands. It doesn't use the great portion of scsi_cmnd. For example, these commands don't use sense buffer, I think. The code path uses scsi_cmnd just for hooking scb_t, a structure that megaraid allocates per command.

OK Thanks.

I saw the latest working kernel: 2.6.24 and first failing kernel
version: 2.6.27-rc8. I understand there are lots of changes between those two kernels. Can you take a look the changes from kernels to find out the root cause?

Sorry, I didn't explain the possible root cause.

struct scsi_cmnd in 2.6.25:

unsigned char cmnd[MAX_COMMAND_SIZE];

struct scsi_cmnd in 2.6.26:

unsigned char *cmnd;

In short, struct scsi_cmnd doesn't have static array for cdb. You need to allocate memory for it (the scsi midlayer does for common usage).

So

static int
mega_internal_command(adapter_t *adapter, megacmd_t *mc, mega_passthru *pthru) {
...

	scb = &adapter->int_scb;
	memset(scb, 0, sizeof(scb_t));

	scmd = &adapter->int_scmd;
	memset(scmd, 0, sizeof(Scsi_Cmnd));

	sdev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct scsi_device), GFP_KERNEL);
	scmd->device = sdev;

	scmd->device->host = adapter->host;
	scmd->host_scribble = (void *)scb;
	scmd->cmnd[0] = MEGA_INTERNAL_CMD;

I suspect that the driver crashes here. My patch adds array to adapter_t and use it here.

After 2.6.25, sense_buffer also is converted from static array to pointer. In general, using scsi_allocate_command/scsi_free_command is the recommended way to use struct scsi_cmnd.

So my latest patch removes struct scsi_cmnd in adapter_t and uses the API in mega_internal_command().

Quoted 2 lines

Also if you believe this is the driver issue and need LSI to help, can you report this issue to LSI?

Yeah, I think that we need to update this driver because of the changes to SCSI mid-layer.

It would be appreciated if you can test my latest path:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=122467887502481&w=2

Can you think of this thread as a bug report to LSI?

In megaraid_sas.c I do not see any places where megasas_cmd->scmd is set other then at megasas_queue_command() which is the scsi .queue_command vector. Commands that come from scsi-ml are guarantied to be fully allocated. Other then that I do not see any places that privately allocate a scsi_cmnd structure. So I would say megaraid_sas.c should be safe from this bug

Any other files I should inspect?

Hi TOMO.

Quoted 3 lines

This might not be enough for example I don't see the allocation of sense_buffer. It might be much easer to allocate using the new command allocation API James did, just for such cases. These are: scsi_allocate_command/scsi_free_command

Yeah, it might be. It's fine by me too. But this code path is used only for issuing internal special commands. It doesn't use the great portion of scsi_cmnd. For example, these commands don't use sense buffer, I think. The code path uses scsi_cmnd just for hooking scb_t, a structure that megaraid allocates per command.

Quoted 5 lines

OK Thanks.
I was not sure because it looks like in mega_cmd_done(), if the status is 0x2 (CHECK_CONDITION) then it would set the sense_buffer. But from what you say, the HW will never return 0x2 in case of an Internal-Command. I Just wanted to make sure.

Quoted 5 lines

I thought that all internal commands are non SCSI command but seems that there is one exception (issuing INQUIRY as an internal command). I'm not sure I understand correctly the driver but anyway here is a version using scsi_allocate_command and scsi_free_command.

Thanks TOMO.
This is actual my bug from the days of making a scsi_cmnd->cmnd into a pointer, and skipping this driver.

Quoted 48 lines

I guess that we need to check the kzalloc failure too but it is supposed to be fixed by a different patch.

TODO: One more thing that needs to be done in this driver is one time allocation of a scsi host-device and use it as a proper "scmd->device = sdev". And freeing at destruction.
Failing to do so enables a posibility of an internal command been completed after the deletion of the host.

Thanks again

Subject: [PATCH] megaraid: fix mega_internal_command oops

scsi_cmnd->cmnd was changed from a static array to a pointer post 2.6.25. It breaks mega_internal_command():

static int
mega_internal_command(adapter_t *adapter, megacmd_t *mc, mega_passthru *pthru) {
...

	scb = &adapter->int_scb;
	memset(scb, 0, sizeof(scb_t));

	scmd = &adapter->int_scmd;
	memset(scmd, 0, sizeof(Scsi_Cmnd));

	sdev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct scsi_device), GFP_KERNEL);
	scmd->device = sdev;

	scmd->device->host = adapter->host;
	scmd->host_scribble = (void *)scb;
	scmd->cmnd[0] = MEGA_INTERNAL_CMD;

mega_internal_command() uses scsi_cmnd allocated internally so scmd->cmnd is NULL here. This patch adds a static array for cdb to adapter_t and uses it here. This also uses scsi_allocate_command/scsi_free_command, the recommended way to allocate struct scsi_cmnd since the driver might use sense_buffer in struct scsi_cmnd.
