Most SCSI drivers want to enable "clustering", that is merging of
segments so that they might span more than a single page. Remove the
ENABLE_CLUSTERING define, and require drivers to explicitly set
DISABLE_CLUSTERING to disable this feature.

[Bart van Asche:] SCSI core never sets cmd->sc_data_direction to
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL; scsi_bidi_cmnd(cmd) should be used instead to
test for a bidirectional command.
[Christoph Hellwig:] Bidirectional commands won't ever be queued
anyway, unless a LLD or transport driver sets QUEUE_FLAG_BIDI.
So, simply remove the respective queuecommand check in the SBP-2
transport driver.

firewire-core uses fw_card.lock to protect topology data and transaction
data. firewire-sbp2 uses fw_card.lock for entirely unrelated purposes.
Introduce a sbp2_target.lock to firewire-sbp2 and replace all
fw_card.lock uses in the driver. fw_card.lock is now entirely private
to firewire-core. This has no immediate advantage apart from making it
clear in the code that firewire-sbp2 does not interact with the core
via the core lock.

The assertion in the comment in sbp2_allow_block() is no longer true.
Or maybe it never was true. At least now, the sole caller of
sbp2_allow_block(), sbp2_login, can run concurrently to one of
sbp2_unblock()'s callers, sbp2_remove.
sbp2_login is performed by sbp2_logical_unit.work.
sbp2_remove is performed by fw_device.work.
sbp2_remove cancels sbp2_logical_unit.work, but only after it called
sbp2_unblock.

PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out. They have few users
and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue
considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work
function.
firewire core-device and sbp2 have been been multiplexing work items
with multiple work functions. Introduce fw_device_workfn() and
sbp2_lu_workfn() which invoke fw_device->workfn and
sbp2_logical_unit->workfn respectively and always use the two
functions as the work functions and update the users to set the
->workfn fields instead of overriding work functions using
PREPARE_DELAYED_WORK().
This fixes a variety of possible regressions since a2c1c57be8d9
"workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items"
due to which fw_workqueue lost its required non-reentrancy property.

Commit 54b2b50c20a6 "[SCSI] Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual

it is not required to blacklist WRITE SAME.

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk
directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not
accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device
characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing
commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs
or excessive I/O errors.
This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

FireWire upper layer drivers are converted from generic
struct driver.probe() and .remove()
to bus-specific
struct fw_driver.probe() and .remove().
The new .probe() adds a const struct ieee1394_device_id *id argument,
indicating the entry in the driver's device identifiers table which
matched the fw_unit to be probed. This new argument is used by the
snd-firewire-speakers driver to look up device-specific parameters and
methods. There is at least one other FireWire audio driver currently in
development in which this will be useful too.
The new .remove() drops the unused error return code.
Although all in-tree drivers are being converted to the new methods,
support for the old methods is left in place in this commit. This
allows public developer trees to merge this commit and then move to the
new fw_driver methods.

The commits
3c6bdaeab4fd "[SCSI] Add a report opcode helper"
5db44863b6eb "[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME"
introduced in-kernel uses of the mentioned commands but cautiously
blacklisted them for any IEEE 1394 (SBP-2/3) targets and some other
transports.
I looked through a range of SBP devices and found that the blacklist
flags can be removed:
The kernel never attempts these commands if the device's INQUIRY
data claim a SCSI revision of less than 0x05. This is the case with
all SBP devices that I checked, except for three more recent devices
which claimed a revision of 0x05 i.e. conformance with SPC-3 (two
devices based on the OXUF936QSE chip but having different firmwares,
one based on OXUF934DSB.)
I tried "sg_opcodes" from sg3_utils on several older and newer devices
and did not encounter any apparent firmware bugs with it. All devices
returned Illegal Request/ Invalid command operation code and carried on.
I furthermore tried "sg_write_same -U" on the OXUF934DSB device with the
same result. Alas I did not have a TRIM enabled SSD available for these
tests. All of the bridges were correctly identified by the kernel as
"fully provisioned", CD-ROM devices aside.
The kernel won't issue WRITE SAME to fully provisioned devices, nor
would it attempt REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES or WRITE SAME with
UNMAP bit on devices which do not claim conformance to SPC-3 or later.
Hence let's remove the no_report_opcodes and no_write_same blacklist
flags so that these commands can be used on newer targets with
respective capabilities. I guess the Linux sbp-target could be such a
target.

Implement support for WRITE SAME(10) and WRITE SAME(16) in the SCSI disk
driver.
- We set the default maximum to 0xFFFF because there are several
devices out there that only support two-byte block counts even with
WRITE SAME(16). We only enable transfers bigger than 0xFFFF if the
device explicitly reports MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH in the BLOCK
LIMITS VPD.
- max_write_same_blocks can be overriden per-device basis in sysfs.
- The UNMAP discovery heuristics remain unchanged but the discard
limits are tweaked to match the "real" WRITE SAME commands.
- In the error handling logic we now distinguish between WRITE SAME
with and without UNMAP set.
The discovery process heuristics are:
- If the device reports a SCSI level of SPC-3 or greater we'll issue
READ SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES to find out whether WRITE SAME(16) is
supported. If that's the case we will use it.
- If the device supports the block limits VPD and reports a MAXIMUM
WRITE SAME LENGTH bigger than 0xFFFF we will use WRITE SAME(16).
- Otherwise we will use WRITE SAME(10) unless the target LBA is beyond
0xFFFFFFFF or the block count exceeds 0xFFFF.
- no_write_same is set for ATA, FireWire and USB.

sbp2_remove, all which are able to sleep during memory allocations.

Login and remove could allocate with GFP_KERNEL but reconnect needs

SCSI sense data in SBP-2/3 is carried in an unusual format that means we
have to un-mangle it on our end before we pass it to the SCSI subsystem.
Currently our un-mangling code doesn't quite follow the SBP-2 standard
in that we always assume Current and never Deferred error types, we
never set the VALID bit, and we mishandle the FILEMARK, EOM and ILI
bits.
This patch fixes the sense un-mangling to correctly handle those and

If the target's unit directory contains a Unit_Unique_ID entry, we
should use that as the target's GUID for identification purposes. The
SBP-2 standards document says:
"Although the node unique ID (EUI-64) present in the bus information
block is sufficient to uniquely identify nodes attached to Serial Bus,
it is insufficient to identify a target when a vendor implements a
device with multiple Serial Bus node connections. In this case initiator
software requires information by which a particular target may be
uniquely identified, regardless of the Serial Bus access path used."

Commit eba9ebaaa26d "firewire: sbp2: use dev_printk API" changed
messages from e.g.
firewire_sbp2: fw3.0: logged in to LUN 0000 (0 retries)
to
sbp2 fw3.0: logged in to LUN 0000 (0 retries)
because the driver calls itself as "sbp2" when registering with driver
core and with SCSI core. This is of course confusing, so switch to the
name "firewire_sbp2" for driver core in order to match what lsmod and
/sys/module/ show. So we are back to
firewire_sbp2 fw3.0: logged in to LUN 0000 (0 retries)
in the kernel log.
This also changes
/sys/bus/firewire/drivers/sbp2
/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw3.0/driver -> [...]/sbp2
/sys/module/firewire_sbp2/drivers/firewire:sbp2
to
/sys/bus/firewire/drivers/firewire_sbp2
/sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw3.0/driver -> [...]/firewire_sbp2
/sys/module/firewire_sbp2/drivers/firewire:firewire_sbp2
but "cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host27/proc_name" stays "sbp2" just in
case that proc_name is used by any userland.

version 0.25.) Udev's /dev/disk/by-id and by-path symlinks are not

Since commit 0278ccd9d53e07c4e699432b2fed9de6c56f506c "firewire: sbp2:
fix panic after rmmod with slow targets", the lifetime of an sbp2_target
instance does no longer extent past the return of sbp2_remove().
Therefore it is no longer necessary to call fw_unit_get/put() and
fw_device_get/put() in sbp2_probe/remove().
Furthermore, said commit also ensures that lu->work is not going to be
executed or requeued at a time when the sbp2_target is no longer in use.
Hence there is no need for sbp2_target reference counting for lu->work.
Other concurrent contexts:
- Processes which access the sysfs of the SCSI host device or of one
of its subdevices are safe because these interfaces are all removed
by scsi_remove_device/host() in sbp2_release_target().
- SBP-2 command block ORB transactions are finished when
scsi_remove_device() in sbp2_release_target() returns.
- SBP-2 management ORB transactions are finished when
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&lu->work) before sbp2_release_target()
returns.

If firewire-sbp2 starts a login to a target that doesn't complete ORBs
in a timely manner (and has to retry the login), and the module is
removed before the operation times out, you end up with a null-pointer
dereference and a kernel panic.
[SR: This happens because sbp2_target_get/put() do not maintain
module references. scsi_device_get/put() do, but at occasions like
Chris describes one, nobody holds a reference to an SBP-2 sdev.]
This patch cancels pending work for each unit in sbp2_remove(), which
hopefully means there are no extra references around that prevent us
from unloading. This fixes my crash.

The struct sbp2_logical_unit.work items can all be executed in parallel
but are not reentrant. Furthermore, reconnect or re-login work must be
executed in a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.
Hence replace the old single-threaded firewire-sbp2 workqueue by a
concurrency-managed but non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer.
firewire-core already maintains one, hence use this one.
In earlier versions of this change, I observed occasional failures of
parallel INQUIRY to an Initio INIC-2430 FireWire 800 to dual IDE bridge.
More testing indicates that parallel INQUIRY is not actually a problem,
but too quick successions of logout and login + INQUIRY, e.g. a quick
sequence of cable plugout and plugin, can result in failed INQUIRY.
This does not seem to be something that should or could be addressed by
serialization.
Another dual-LU device to which I currently have access to, an
OXUF924DSB FireWire 800 to dual SATA bridge with firmware from MacPower,
has been successfully tested with this too.
This change is beneficial to environments with two or more FireWire
storage devices, especially if they are located on the same bus.
Management tasks that should be performed as soon and as quickly as
possible, especially reconnect, are no longer held up by tasks on other
devices that may take a long time, especially login with INQUIRY and sd
or sr driver probe.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

Fix I/O stalls with some 4-bay RAID enclosures which are based on
OXUF936QSE:
- Onnto dataTale RSM4QO, old firmware (not anymore with current
firmware),
- inXtron Hydra Super-S LCM, old as well as current firmware
when used in RAID-5 mode, perhaps also in other RAID modes.
The stalls happen during heavy or moderate disk traffic in periods that
are a multiple of 5 minutes, roughly twice per hour. They are caused
by the target responding too late to an ORB_Pointer register write:
The target responds after Split_Timeout, hence firewire-core cancels
the transaction, and firewire-sbp2 fails the SCSI request. The SCSI
core retries the request, that fails again (and again), hence SCSI core
calls firewire-sbp2's abort handler (and even the Management_Agent
register write in the abort handler has the transaction timeout
problem).
During all that, the process which issued the I/O is stalled in I/O
wait state.
Meanwhile, the target actually acts on the first failed SCSI request:
It responds to the ORB_Pointer write later (seen in the kernel log as
"firewire_core: Unsolicited response") and also finishes the SCSI
request with proper status (seen in the kernel log as "firewire_sbp2:
status write for unknown orb").
So let's just ignore RCODE_CANCELLED in the transaction callback and
wait for the target to complete the ORB nevertheless. This requires
a small modification is sbp2_cancel_orbs(); it now needs to call
orb->callback() regardless whether fw_cancel_transaction() found the
transaction unfinished or finished.
A different solution is to increase Split_Timeout on the local node.
(Tested: 2000ms timeout; maybe 1000ms or something like that works too.
200ms is insufficient. Standard is 100ms.) However, I rather not do
this because any software on any node could change the Split_Timeout to
something unsuitable. Or such a large Split_Timeout may be undesirable
for other purposes.

Management ORB timed out), or there was a send error in the initial
transaction, we missed to drop one of the ORB's references and thus
leaked memory.
Background:
In total, we hold 3 references to each Operation Request Block:
- 1 during sbp2_scsi_queuecommand() or sbp2_send_management_orb()
respectively,
- 1 for the duration of the write transaction to the ORB_Pointer or
Management_Agent register of the target,
- 1 for as long as the ORB stays within the lu->orb_list, until
the ORB is unlinked from the list and the orb->callback was
executed.
The latter one of these 3 references is finished
- normally by sbp2_status_write() when the target wrote status
for a pending ORB,
- or by sbp2_cancel_orbs() in case of an ORB time-out,
- or by complete_transaction() in case of a send error.
Of them, the latter two lacked the kref_put.
Add the missing kref_put()s. Add comments to the gets and puts of
references for transaction callbacks and ORB callbacks so that it is
easier to see what is supposed to happen.

void (*fw_address_callback_t)(..., int speed, ...) is the speed that a
remote node chose to transmit a request to us. In case of split
transactions, firewire-core will transmit the response at that speed.
Upper layer drivers on the other hand (firewire-net, -sbp2, firedtv, and
userspace drivers) cannot do anything useful with that speed datum,
except log it for debug purposes. But data that is merely potentially
(not even actually) used for debug purposes does not belong into the API.

In case of fw_card_bm_work()'s lock request, the present sizeof
expression is going to be wrong if somebody changes the fw_card's DMA
scratch buffer's size in the future.
In case of quadlet write requests, sizeof(u32) is just silly; it's 4.
In case of SBP-2 ORB pointer write requests, 8 is arguably quicker to
understand as the correct and only possible value than
sizeof(some_datum).

The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_<limit name>.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.
Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.

Several config ROM related functions only peek at the ROM cache; mark
their arguments as const pointers. Ditto fw_device.config_rom and
fw_unit.directory, as the memory behind them is meant to be write-once.

A few stylistic changes to unify some code patterns in the subsystem:
- The similar queue_delayed_work helpers fw_schedule_bm_work,
schedule_iso_resource, and sbp2_queue_work now have the same call
convention.
- Two conditional calls of schedule_iso_resource are factored into
another small helper.
- An sbp2_target_get helper is added as counterpart to
sbp2_target_put.
Object size of firewire-core is decreased a little bit, object size of
firewire-sbp2 remains unchanged.

The Unit_Characteristics entry of an SBP-2 unit directory is not
mandatory as far as I can tell. If it is missing, we would probably
fail to log in into the target because firewire-sbp2 would not wait for
status after it sent the login request.
The fix moves the cleanup of tgt->mgt_orb_timeout into a place where it
is executed exactly once before login, rather than 0..n times depending
on the target's config ROM. With targets with one or more
Unit_Characteristics entries, the result is the same as before.

The inquiry delay does more harm than good in tests on a recent kernel.
