PATCH 1/1 sd: Try READ CAPACITY 16 first for all SCSI-3 devices

New features are being added to the READ CAPACITY 16 results, so we want to try to issue it in preference to READ CAPACITY 10. Unfortunately, some USB devices hang when they see a READ CAPACITY 16, so we limit our chances of causing a hang by restricting this command to devices which claim conformance to SCSI-3. USB devices are currently limited to claiming at most SCSI-2 conformance.

Of course, it's entirely legitimate for devices to not implement READ CAPACITY 16, so this patch also includes a fallback to READ CAPACITY 10 for SCSI-3 devices.

I've been running with this on my DIF drives for a few days and everything looked fine.

Tonight I tried an all-spindles-in-the-lab test. I have several drives that report SCSI_3 but don't implement READ CAPACITY(16). All of them correctly send sense error back. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I have one particular drive model that after a failed READ CAPACITY(16) command responds correctly to READ CAPACITY(10). And *then* the drive firmware commits suicide.

FWIW, this is 2Gbps/10Krpm FC kit. So not USB/FireWire and not exactly 90s gear either.

*sigh*

At least for DIF I have an innocuous INQUIRY field to key off of. Long term I think we should check the Block Limits thin provisioning bits.

For now may I suggest a much more conservative approach:

- if (sdp->scsi_level > SCSI_2) {
+ if (scsi_device_protection(sdp) || sdp->scsi_level > SCSI_SPC_2) {

You really know how to set up a sense of foreboding ;-)

Yes, I think you're right. At least until we find drives that put garbage into those fields ...

It was first defined in SBC-2 (2005) which corresponds to SPC-3 (also 2005), so I'm OK with this change. I'll send updated patches (the first patch now needs an extra NULL argument to scsi_execute_request). Patches also available as part of this git tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/willy/ssd.git;a=shortlog;h=trim-20081231
aka
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/willy/ssd.git trim-20081231

Here's the replacement for the second patch (I changed the line you had above into a function so it's easier to add more conditions later).

sd: Try READ CAPACITY 16 first for SBC-2 devices

New features are being added to the READ CAPACITY 16 results, so we want to issue it in preference to READ CAPACITY 10. Unfortunately, some devices misbehave when they see a READ CAPACITY 16, so we restrict this command to devices which claim conformance to SPC-3 (aka SBC-2), or claim they have features which are only reported in the READ CAPACITY 16 data.

The READ CAPACITY 16 command is optional, even for SBC-2 devices, so we fall back to READ CAPACITY 10 if READ CAPACITY 16 fails.

Any reason this patch hasn't been merged into scsi-misc yet?

There was a problem with it I drew your attention to here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123308499405071

This was the updated version, sent on Dec 31, not the version you commented on on Dec 23.

(I didn't notice your earlier request because I was on vacation when you sent it).

Oh, sorry, missed the update.

New features are being added to the READ CAPACITY 16 results, so we want to try to issue it in preference to READ CAPACITY 10. Unfortunately, some USB devices hang when they see a READ CAPACITY 16, so we limit our chances of causing a hang by restricting this command to devices which claim conformance to SCSI-3. USB devices are currently limited to claiming at most SCSI-2 conformance.

Of course, it's entirely legitimate for devices to not implement READ CAPACITY 16, so this patch also includes a fallback to READ CAPACITY 10 for SCSI-3 devices.

Were you going to update this? Martin Petersen already found an early SCSI-3 device that crashes upon receiving Read Capacity(16).
