Driver decides to initiate REC on REC_TOV timer pop. The firmware maintains the

For the devices that support sequence level error recovery, based on the REC
response, the firmware has to be informed about the offset from which the
retransmission should happen. Driver initiates sequence cleanup task to
firmware so that the firmware can program the task. Upon the sequence cleanup
completion, SRR is issued to retransmit the sequence.

partitions in storage
rdac hardware handler assumes that there is one-to-one relation ship
between the host and the controller w.r.t lun. IOW, it does not
support "multiple storage partitions" within a storage.
Example:
HBA1 and HBA2 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (1)
HBA3 and HBA4 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (2)
HBA5 and HBA6 see lun 0 and 1 in storage A (3)
luns 0 and 1 in (1), (2) and (3) are totally different.
But, rdac handler treats the lun 0s (and lun 1s) as the same when
sending a mode select to the controller, which is wrong.
This patch makes the rdac hardware handler associate HBA and the
storage w.r.t lun (and not the host itself).

The out_msi_disable label should be before cleanup_nomem to additionally
benefit from the call to iounmap. Subsequent gotos are adjusted to go to
out_msi_disable instead of cleanup_nomem, which now follows it. This is
safe because pci_disable_msi does nothing if pci_enable_msi was not called.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r@
expression e1,e2;
statement S;
@@
e1 = pci_ioremap_bar(...);
... when != e1 = e2
when != iounmap(e1)
when any

when != if (...) { ... iounmap(e1) ... }
* return ...;
} else S
)

There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that
causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the
OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages.
First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type
PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer
is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to
buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit
signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided
here, bad things can happen. For example,
pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size,
which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size.
The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an
overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be
smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the
subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of
pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked.
It looks like preventing this value from being negative in
pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient.

Currently, bnx2fc has a hba structure that can work with only a single vlan
interface. When there is a change in vlan id, it does not have the capability
to switch to different vlan interface. To solve this problem, a new structure
called 'interface' has been introduced, and each hba can now have multiple
interfaces, one per vlan id.
Most of the patch is a moving the interface specific fields from hba to the
interface structure, and appropriately modifying the dereferences. A list of
interfaces (if_list) is maintained along with adapter list. During a create
call, the interface structure is allocated and added to if_list and deleted &
freed on a destroy call. Link events are propagated to all interfaces
belonging to the hba.

This patch implements a new FCF failover policy for the lpfc driver. It
allows the driver to choose which FCF to failover to based on the FCF
priority. This patch also introduces a new sysfs parameter
(fcf_failover_policy) to allow the user to choose which FCF failover policy
to use.

Adapter Interface fixes and changes

two new checks for this code that will cause the driver to use the new V1
macros for rq_id and fcf_id.
- Fix a bug in lpfc_prep_seq() where the size out of the first CQE was
ONLY being used, even though multiple dmabufs make up the sequence,
each have their own CQE with potentially different sizes.
- Fix bug in lpfc_bsg_ct_unsol_event() where the ulpContext and ulpWord[3]
fields of the XMIT_SEQUENCE64_CX IOCB were being calculated incorrectly.
- Do physical to logical translation before indexing into the active
XRI array.
- Populate physical vpi in the iocb data structure.
- Put the current accumulated total in each IOCB in the chain as we are
walking thru then. The last IOCB in the chain should have the total
length of the sequence.

to identify storage
rdac hardware handler uses "Subsystem Identifier" from C4 inquiry page
to uniquely identify a storage. The problem with that is that if any
any of the bytes are non-ascii, subsys_id will all be spaces (hex
0x20). This creates lot of problems especially when there are multiple
rdac storages are connected to the server.
Use "Storage Array Unique Identifier" from C8 inquiry page, which is the
world wide unique identifier for the storage array, to uniquely identify
the storage.

Setting ql2xextended_error_logging module parameter to any of the above
value, will enable the debug for that particular level.
Do LOGICAL OR of the value to enable more than one level.

This patch adds the dynamic logging framework to the qla2xxx driver.
The user will be able to change the logging levels on the fly i.e.
without load/unload of the driver. This also enables logging to be
enabled for a particular section of the driver such as initialization,
device discovery etc.

During cable pull tests on our 16G FC adapter, we are seeing errors,
typically reads to close targets, which fail due to CRC or framing
errors caused by the cable being pull (return status DID_ERROR).
The adapter detects the error on one of the first frames received,
marks the FC exchange as dead (further frames go to bit bucket) and
signals the host of the error. This action is so quick, and coupled
with fast host CPUs, creates a scenario in which the midlayer sees
the failure and retries the io almost immediately. We've seen link
traces with the retry on the link while the original i/o is still
being processed by the target. We're also seeing the time window
for the "link to pull-apart" and the physical interface to report
disconnected to be in the few millisecond range. Which means, we're
encountering scenarios where the full retry count is exhausted
(all with error) by the midlayer before the link disconnect state
is detected.
We looked at 8G FC behavior and occasionally see the same behavior,
but as the link was slower, it rarely could exhaust all retries
before the link reported disconnect.
What is needed is a slight delay between io retries due to DID_ERROR
to cover this error. It is inappropriate to put this delay in the
driver, as the error is indistinguishable from other link-related errors,
nor does the driver track whether the io is a retry or not. This is also
easier than tracking between-io-error bursts that are seen in this
scenario.
The patch below updates the retry path so that it inserts a delay as
if the target was busy. The busy delay is on the order of 6ms. This
delay is sufficient to ensure the link down condition is reported
before the retry count is exhausted (at most 1 retry is seen).
