Cover letter [PATCH v25 00/44] sg: add v4 interface
This patchset is the first stage of a two stage rewrite of the scsi generic (sg) driver. The main goal of the first stage is to introduce the sg v4 interface that uses 'struct sg_io_v4' as well as keeping and modernizing the sg v3 interface (based on 'struct sg_io_hdr'). The async interface formerly requiring the use of write() and read() system calls now has ioctl(SG_IOSUBMIT) and ioctl(SG_IORECEIVE) replacements. The sg v4 interface is not new, it has been used by the bsg driver since it was introduced to the kernel around 15 years ago.
For documentation see either url:
https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_v40.html https://doug-gilbert.github.io/sg_v40.html
This driver has been tested with utilities found at:
https://github.com/doug-gilbert/sg3_utils
specifically sgh_dd found under the testing directory. The new statistics gathering facility can be tested with either sgstat or 'tapestat -g' using the author's clone of the sysstat package:
https://github.com/doug-gilbert/sysstat
This patchset is against Martin Petersen's 6.2/scsi-queue branch.
Changes since v24 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20220410)
- refine "scsi: sg: Allow waiting for commands to complete on removed device" patch after discussion with author, see patch 43
- pick up block layer changes since lk 5.19
- point out that this patchset adds debugfs support that may hasten the retirement of /proc/scsi/sg/debug and friends
Changes since v21 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20211003)
- versions 21, 22 and 23 failed under heavy load when the 'POLLED' flag (formerly 'HIPRI') was used. It took several kernel cycles for driver to successfully pass that area of the testing code. Bug fixes in the scsi_debug driver and most likely the block layer issues were the probable culprits
- rebase against lk 5.18.0-rc1
- introduce 'struct block_device *dummy_bdev' in struct sg_device to circumvent the block API shut-out of char devices using bio_poll(). bio_poll() was formerly called blk_poll(). The dummy block_device object is only associated with a sg_device the first time a SGV4_FLAG_POLLED flag is set on a pass-through command. So only sg devices that actually use bio_poll() are burdened with carrying a block_device object. The dummy block_device object only holds parameters like the request_queue that were formerly given directly to blk_poll(). The NVMe pass-through will face the same problem if it tries to use bio_poll()
Changes since v20 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210915)
- apply changes requested by Damien Le Moal to '[PATCH v21 00/46] sg: add statistics similar to st' patch. Drop comp_stats option; statistics always gathered
- fix broken usage of scsi_cmd_allowed() introduced in
lk 5.15.0-rc1
Changes since v19 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210523)
- add statistics gathering similar to that found in st driver. The tapestat utility in the sysstat package can be used to display those statistics; similar arrangement for the sg driver. Make changes suggested by Damien Le Moal.
- rebase on 5.16/scsi-queue branch [lk 5.15.0-rc1]
- gendisk dependency removed
- various other Christoph Hellwig cleanups
Changes since v18 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210407)
- a request queue's QUEUE_FLAG_POLL flag can be cleared via sysfs, overriding the ability to use blk_poll() even when the associated LLD allows it. Check that flag and, only when it is set and the sg user gives SGV4_FLAG_HIPRI, set REQ_HIPRI on a request.
- simplify the functions supporting ioctl(SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE)
- replace blk_rq_append_bio() calls with the simpler
blk_rq_bio_prep() calls
[see lk: a4fe2d3afe3ce77edeadb567c0d0a8d102c6b159] - rebase on 5.14/scsi-queue branch [lk 5.13.0-rc1]
- unchecked_isa_dma removed
- BIO_MAX_PAGES renamed to BIO_MAX_VECS
Changes since v17 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210407)
- make clearer distinction between user pollable (i.e. async) requests and (user) non-pollable requests (e.g. those injected with ioctl(SG_IO), IOWs sync requests)
- fix crash is sg_start_req() when blk_get_request() yields an error (e.g. -EAGAIN when low on resources)
- sg_finish_scsi_blk_rq(): remove now_zero variable as suggested by Hannes R.
- change deprecation warning url reference from http to https
Changes since v16 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210208)
- sg_start_req() fix double free on error path [KASAN]
- sg_rq_map_kern() fix uninitialized variable [coverity]
- sg_add_sfp() fix use after free [coverity]
- sg_remove_sfp_usercontext(): remove pointless NULL check [coverity]
- fix misuse of WARN_ONCE in sg_rq_end_io_usercontext() [D. Carpenter]
- remove unused error checks: tracking blk_put_request() calls and multiple SG_XA_RQ_FREE calls
- hipri: as blk_poll() can return > 0 for requests other than the one that is being checked for, need to re-check that request is ready
- rebased on MKP's 5.13/scsi-queue
Changes since v15 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20210125)
- tweak state machine which sets INFLIGHT state _before_ blk_execute_rq_nowait() is called. Add a bit flag that indicates the logic flow has returned from that call. This guards against blk_poll() being called before the block layer has really launched the request.
- fix bug clearing SG_FFD_HIPRI_SEEN bit as atomic_dec_and_test() returns true when the post-decrement value is zero, the opposite of what a C conditional does.
Changes since v14 and earlier
