* block: introduce struct rq_map_data to use reserved pagesFUJITA Tomonori2008-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces struct rq_map_data to enable bio_copy_use_iov() use reserved pages. Currently, bio_copy_user_iov allocates bounce pages but drivers/scsi/sg.c wants to allocate pages by itself and use them. struct rq_map_data can be used to pass allocated pages to bio_copy_user_iov. The current users of bio_copy_user_iov simply passes NULL (they don't want to use pre-allocated pages).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, blk_rq_map_user and blk_rq_map_user_iov always do GFP_KERNEL allocation. This adds gfp_mask argument to blk_rq_map_user and blk_rq_map_user_iov so sg can use it (sg always does GFP_ATOMIC allocation).

* SG_IO block filter whitelist missing MMC SET READ AHEAD commandxiphmont@xiph.org2008-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist, specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command. The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming optional feature set. The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives, cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible from usespace. Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG interface. The command is only being refused on block devices. That means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through /dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and accessible. Filtering the command is not providing any protection, only a confusing inconsistency. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: rename blk_scsi_cmd_filter to blk_cmd_filterFUJITA Tomonori2008-08-271-1/+1

* block: move cmdfilter from gendisk to request_queueFUJITA Tomonori2008-08-271-3/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them. The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter isn't safe. SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their gendisk. This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to. The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via /sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

* [SCSI] block: Fix miscalculation of sg_io timeout in CDROM_SEND_PACKET handler.Tim Wright2008-07-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following: The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However, a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds. Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW, the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

* block: restore the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data lengthFUJITA Tomonori2008-03-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of rq->data_len was changed to the length of an allocated buffer from the true data length. It breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. This patch restores the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data length and adds rq->extra_len to store an extended length (due to drain buffer and padding). This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa. The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment (queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding alignment needs to be fixed in a proper way (by a separate patch). Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.home.kernel.dk>
* block: add request->raw_data_lenTejun Heo2008-02-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating, filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller. Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe. So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len, indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field, request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original request size should be fed to the controller or device.

* bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()FUJITA Tomonori2007-07-161-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length, fixing Bugzilla #7026. The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it would be impossible to use the extra space. The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly, and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors. Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices don't have a reserved buffer. Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for any raw SCSI transport.

* [PATCH] blk: Fix SG_IO ioctl failure retry loopingJens Axboe2006-02-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | When issuing an SG_IO ioctl through sd that resulted in an unrecoverable error, a nearly infinite retry loop was discovered. This is due to the fact that the block layer SG_IO code is not setting up rq->retries. This patch also fixes up the sg_scsi_ioctl path.

| * [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie2005-12-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.
