2014-11-12scsi: add SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE flag to SG_SCSI_RESET ioctlDouglas Gilbert
Further to a January 2013 thread titled: "[PATCH] SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl should only perform requested operation" by Jeremy Linton a patch (v3) is presented that expands the existing ioctl to include "no_escalate" versions to the existing resets. This requires no changes to SCSI low level drivers (LLDs); it adds several more finely tuned reset options to the user space. For example: /* This call remains the same, with the same escalating semantics * if the device (LU) reset fail. That is: on failure to try a * target reset and if that fails, try a bus reset, and if that fails * try a host (i.e. LLD) reset. */ val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE; res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val); /* What follows is a new option introduced by this patch series. Only * a device reset is attempted. If that fails then an appropriate * error code is provided. N.B. There is no reset escalation. */ val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE | SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE; res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val); Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com> Reviewed-by: Jeremy Linton <jlinton@tributary.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: "Nothing out of the ordinary here, this pull request contains: - A big round of fixes for bcache from Kent Overstreet, Slava Pestov, and Surbhi Palande. No new features, just a lot of fixes. - The usual round of drbd updates from Andreas Gruenbacher, Lars Ellenberg, and Philipp Reisner. - virtio_blk was converted to blk-mq back in 3.13, but now Ming Lei has taken it one step further and added support for actually using more than one queue. - Addition of an explicit SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD for block/bsg, to compliment the the default behavior of adding to the tail of the queue.

2014-07-17sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flagDouglas Gilbert
When the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged. One difference is the way injected commands are queued through the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA NCQ). Summarizing: - SG_IO in the block layer: blk_exec*(at_head=false) - sg SG_IO: at_head=true - bsg SG_IO: at_head=true Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. This patch does the equivalent for the sg driver. ChangeLog: Introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag to cause commands to be injected into the block layer with at_head=false.

2014-07-17sg: relax 16 byte cdb restrictionDouglas Gilbert
- remove the 16 byte CDB (SCSI command) length limit from the sg driver by handling longer CDBs the same way as the bsg driver. Remove comment from sg.h public interface about the cmd_len field being limited to 16 bytes. - remove some dead code caused by this change - cleanup comment block at the top of sg.h, fix urls Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

One difference is the way injected commands are queued through the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA NCQ). Summarizing: - SG_IO on block layer device: blk_exec*(at_head=false) - sg device SG_IO: at_head=true - bsg device SG_IO: at_head=true Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. A recent patch titled: "sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag" allowed the sg driver default to be overridden. This patch allows a SG_IO ioctl sent to a block layer device to have its default overridden. ChangeLog: - introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD flag in sg.h to cause commands that are injected via a block layer device SG_IO ioctl to set at_head=true - make comments clearer about queueing in sg.h since the header is used both by the sg device and block layer device implementations of the SG_IO ioctl. - introduce BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD in bsg.h for compatibility (it does nothing) and update comments.

2006-09-26[SCSI] sg: fixes for large page_sizeDouglas Gilbert
This sg driver patch addresses the problem with larger page sizes reported by Brian King in this post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115867718623631&w=2 Some other related matters are also addressed. Some of these prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are set to inappropriate values. The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB less one block, achievable with a relatively small number of elements in the scatter gather list. ChangeLog: - add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ - the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE) It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power of two - clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements that are no longer valid - make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dougg@torque.net> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
