I think, we also have two more (not so obvious) places in the corresponding response/completion code path, where we might need to introduce the proper iterator helper: zfcp_fsf.c: static int zfcp_fc_eval_gpn_ft(struct zfcp_fc_req *fc_req, struct zfcp_adapter *adapter, int max_entries) { struct scatterlist *sg = &fc_req->sg_rsp; ... /* first entry is the header */ for (x = 1; x < max_entries && !last; x++) { ... if (x % (ZFCP_FC_GPN_FT_ENT_PAGE + 1)) ... else acc = sg_virt(++sg); ^^^^ zfcp_dbf.c: static u16 zfcp_dbf_san_res_cap_len_if_gpn_ft(char *tag, struct zfcp_fsf_req *fsf, u16 len) { struct scatterlist *resp_entry = ct_els->resp; ... /* the basic CT_IU preamble is the same size as one entry in the GPN_FT * response, allowing us to skip special handling for it - just skip it */ for (x = 1; x < max_entries && !last; x++) { if (x % (ZFCP_FC_GPN_FT_ENT_PAGE + 1)) ... else acc = sg_virt(++resp_entry); ^^^^^^^^^^^^ What do you think?

Yeah, looks this one is missed, so we need the following patch: From c9c368308fefbf034d670984fe9746a4181fe514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 09:15:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] s390: scsi: use sg helper to iterate over scatterlist Unlike the legacy I/O path, scsi-mq preallocates a large array to hold the scatterlist for each request. This static allocation can consume substantial amounts of memory on modern controllers which support a large number of concurrently outstanding requests. To facilitate a switch to a smaller static allocation combined with a dynamic allocation for requests that need it, we need to make sure all SCSI drivers handle chained scatterlists correctly. Convert remaining drivers that directly dereference the scatterlist array to using the iterator functions.

Hi Ming,
I don't mind doing this change for zfcp. However, I'm having doubts regarding
the rationale in the commit description. If I understood your patch series
correctly from its cover letter (would have been nice to copy the SCSI MQ
detail part of its core statement in (one of) the patches so it would make its
way into git log), you plan to make a change to scatterlist allocations *in
SCSI MQ*.
All zfcp changes in this patch set only refer to zfcp-internal remote port
discovery, i.e. they neither come from SCSI (internally) nor from block(mq).
zfcp_fc.h:
/**
* struct zfcp_fc_req - Container for FC ELS and CT requests sent from zfcp
* @ct_els: data required for issuing fsf command
* @sg_req: scatterlist entry for request data, refers to embedded @u submember
* @sg_rsp: scatterlist entry for response data, refers to embedded @u submember
* @u: request and response specific data
* @u.gpn_ft: GPN_FT specific data
* @u.gpn_ft.sg_rsp2: GPN_FT response, not embedded here, allocated elsewhere
* @u.gpn_ft.req: GPN_FT request
*/
struct zfcp_fc_req {
struct zfcp_fsf_ct_els ct_els;
struct scatterlist sg_req;
struct scatterlist sg_rsp;
union {
struct {
struct scatterlist sg_rsp2[ZFCP_FC_GPN_FT_NUM_BUFS - 1];
struct zfcp_fc_gpn_ft_req req;
} gpn_ft;
} u;
};
So this should be guaranteed to be a linear unchained scatterlist,
independently of your SCSI (or block) changes.
Note: Only remote port discovery also uses u.gpn_ft.sg_rsp2 instead of just sg_rsp.
zfcp_fc_scan_ports(work)
zfcp_fc_alloc_sg_env(buf_num)
zfcp_fc_sg_setup_table(&fc_req->sg_rsp, buf_num)
(In fact it's somewhat intricate, because it actually uses sg_rsp and seems to
rely on the fact that the subsequent sg_rsp2[] gives enough contiguous memory
to hold buf_num linear scatterlist entries starting with field offset sg_rsp.)
The other cases use single element and thus linear unchained scatterlist with
sg_rsp (and all cases use sg_req):

I/O requests from SCSI (MQ) coming through queuecommand have already been safe
for non-linear chained scatterlists in zfcp:
zfcp_scsi_queuecommand()
zfcp_fsf_fcp_cmnd()
zfcp_qdio_sbals_from_sg(qdio, &req->qdio_req, scsi_sglist(scsi_cmnd))
for (; sg; sg = sg_next(sg)) {
I/O requests from the block layer coming through BSG should also have already
been safe for non-linear chained scatterlists in zfcp:
zfcp_fc_exec_bsg_job()
zfcp_fc_exec_els_job()
zfcp_fsf_send_els()
zfcp_fsf_setup_ct_els()
zfcp_fsf_setup_ct_els_sbals(req, sg_req, sg_resp)
//depending on hardware features, translate sg into HW control blocks
if (zfcp_adapter_multi_buffer_active())
zfcp_qdio_sbals_from_sg() //for req&resp, see above
return 0
/* use single, unchained SBAL if it can hold the request */
if (zfcp_qdio_sg_one_sbale(sg_req) && zfcp_qdio_sg_one_sbale(sg_resp))
zfcp_fsf_setup_ct_els_unchained() //single element for req&resp
return 0
if (!(feat & FSF_FEATURE_ELS_CT_CHAINED_SBALS))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
zfcp_qdio_sbals_from_sg() for req&resp, see above
OR
zfcp_fc_exec_ct_job()
zfcp_fsf_send_ct()
zfcp_fsf_setup_ct_els() //see above
If I was not mistaken above, the following could be more descriptive parts of a
patch/commit description, with hopefully less confusion for anyone having to
look at zfcp git history a few weeks/months/years from now:
"While not required for this SCSI MQ change regarding scatterlist allocation,
change all other scatterlist iterators in zfcp to the safe sg_next() even if
not necessary as these changed zfcp-internal scatterlists are linear and
unchained. This may avoid confusion about a potential need for conversions in
the future."

Apart from above rationale discussion, the code change looks good.

If you are sure about that, it is fine to not change zfcp. However, I still suggest to do it because it will make us to audit SCSI chained sg uses much easier.

Sure, let's change the code, but could you please update the description of your below new patch to something like I drafted above regarding rationale? If you would like to send a V2, I'll be happy to give a Reviewed-by. >>> From c9c368308fefbf034d670984fe9746a4181fe514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 >>> From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> >>> Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 09:15:34 +0800 >>> Subject: [PATCH] s390: scsi: use sg helper to iterate over scatterlist >>> Unlike the legacy I/O path, scsi-mq preallocates a large array to hold >>> the scatterlist for each request.
