Why?  Reserved command specifically are not in any way tied to queues.

So the v1 series used a combination of the sdev queue and the per-host 
reserved_cmd_q. Back then you questioned using the sdev queue for virtio 
scsi, and the unconfirmed conclusion was to use a common per-host q. 
This is the best link I can find now:

Oh, I'm perfectly fine with dropping the per-device reserved commands,
and use the host-wide queue in general.
It turns out most of the drivers use it that way already.
Will be doing so for the next iteration.

That was just a question on why virtio uses the per-device tags, which
didn't look like it made any sense.  What I'm worried about here is
mixing up the concept of reserved tags in the tagset, and queues to use
them.  Note that we already have the scsi_get_host_dev to allocate
a scsi_device and thus a request_queue for the host itself.  That seems
like the better interface to use a tag for a host wide command vs
introducing a parallel path.

Ah. Right.
Will be looking into that, and convert the patchset over to it.

And the problem of the separate queue is the fact that I'll need a queue
to reserve tags from; trying to allocate a tag directly from the bitmap
turns out to be major surgery in the blocklayer with no immediate gain.
And I can't use per-device queues as for some drivers the reserved
commands are used to query the HBA itself to figure out how many devices
are present.

Cheers,

Hannes

Hannes,

I assume that you will take back over this series now. Let me know. The 
patches are here, if not in patchwork:

Right, we still need to be able to allocate somewhere apart from sdev queue

Thinking about it some more, I don't think that scsi_get_host_dev() is
the best way of handling it.
Problem is that it'll create a new scsi_device with <hostno:this_id:0>,
which will then show up via eg 'lsscsi'.
This would be okay if 'this_id' would have been defined by the driver;
sadly, most drivers which are affected here do set 'this_id' to -1.
So we wouldn't have a nice target ID to allocate the device from, let
alone the problem that we would have to emulate a complete scsi device
with all required minimal command support etc.
And I'm not quite sure how well that would play with the exising SCSI
host template; the device we'll be allocating would have basically
nothing in common with the 'normal' SCSI devices.

What we could do, though, is to try it the other way round:
Lift the request queue from scsi_get_host_dev() into the scsi host
itself, so that scsi_get_host_dev() can use that queue, but we also
would be able to use it without a SCSI device attached.

Hannes

are you sure? Doesn't this function just allocate the sdev, but do 
nothing with it, like probing it?

I bludgeoned it in here for PoC:

https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/commit/ef0ae8540811e32776f64a5b42bd76cbed17ba47

And then still:

john@ubuntu:~$ lsscsi
[0:0:0:0] disk SEAGATE  ST2000NM0045  N004  /dev/sda
[0:0:1:0] disk SEAGATE  ST2000NM0045  N004  /dev/sdb

[0:0:4:0] enclosu HUAWEIExpander 12Gx16  128-
john@ubuntu:~$

Some proper plumbing would be needed, though.

wouldn't that limit 1x scsi device per host, not that I know if any more 
would ever be required? But it does still seem better to use the request 
queue in the scsi device.

My concern is this:

struct scsi_device *scsi_get_host_dev(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
	[ .. ]
	starget = scsi_alloc_target(&shost->shost_gendev, 0, shost->this_id);
	[ .. ]

and we have typically:

drivers/scsi/hisi_sas/hisi_sas_v3_hw.c: .this_id                = -1,

It's _very_ uncommon to have a negative number as the SCSI target 
device; in fact, it _is_ an unsigned int already.

But alright, I'll give it a go; let's see what I'll end up with.

Cheers,

FWIW, the only other driver (gdth) which I see uses this API has this_id 
= -1 in the scsi host template.

> But alright, I'll give it a go; let's see what I'll end up with.

note: If we want a fixed scsi_device per host, calling 
scsi_mq_setup_tags() -> scsi_get_host_dev() will fail as shost state is 
not running. Maybe we need to juggle some things there to provide a 
generic solution.

It might even get worse, as during device setup things like 
'slave_alloc' etc is getting called, which has a fair chance of getting 
confused for non-existing devices.
Cf qla2xxx:qla2xx_slave_alloc() is calling starget_to_rport(), which 
will get us a nice oops when accessing a target which is _not_ the child 
of a fc remote port.
And this is why I'm not utterly keen on this approach; auditing all 
these callbacks is _not_ fun.

Yes, something similar happens for libsas [hence my hack], where 
sas_alloc_target()->sas_find_dev_by_rphy() fails as it cannot handle 
rphy for scsi host as parent properly.

Understood. And if you can't test them, then a change like this is too 
risky for those drivers.

But this shouldn't be exposed anywhere.  And I prefer that over having
magic requests/scsi_cmnd that do not have a valid ->device pointer.

(just looking at this again)

Hi Christoph,

So how would this look added in scsi_lib.c:

struct scsi_cmnd *scsi_get_reserved_cmd(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
	struct scsi_cmnd *scmd;
	struct request *rq;
	struct scsi_device *sdev = scsi_get_host_dev(shost);

	if (!sdev)
		return NULL;

	rq = blk_mq_alloc_request(sdev->request_queue,
				  REQ_OP_DRV_OUT | REQ_NOWAIT,
				  BLK_MQ_REQ_RESERVED);
	if (IS_ERR(rq)) // fix tidy-up
		return NULL;
	WARN_ON(rq->tag == -1);
	scmd = blk_mq_rq_to_pdu(rq);
	scmd->request = rq;
	scmd->device = sdev;

	return scmd;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(scsi_get_reserved_cmd);

void scsi_put_reserved_cmd(struct scsi_cmnd *scmd)
{
	struct request *rq = blk_mq_rq_from_pdu(scmd);

	if (blk_mq_rq_is_reserved(rq)) {
		struct scsi_device *sdev = scmd->device;
		blk_mq_free_request(rq);
		scsi_free_host_dev(sdev);
	}
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(scsi_put_reserved_cmd);

Not sure if we want a static scsi_device per host, or alloc and free 
dynamically.

(@Hannes, I also have some proper patches for libsas if you want to add it)

Cheers,
John

Hold your horses.
I'm currently preparing a patchset implementing things by improving the 
current scsi_get_host_dev() etc.

RFC should be ready by the end of the week.

I wasn't going to do anything else...

OK, great, all you have to do is say.
