Add sg_assign_page() for those two locations that only needed to set

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().

The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias
attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc),
based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers
supports.
The modalias format is like this:
scsi:type-0x04
(for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now).
Several comments.
o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants
in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will
not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4).
Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while
both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other,
I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in
include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing
them all to decimal.
o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus. It might be a good
idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there.
o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes.
With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the
user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI
tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias).
It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either.
It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in
modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification
strings, so that modalias becomes something like
scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive
and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device
type. But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large,
and they do contain spaces and whatnot.
So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.

Write does not trigger this bug because the driver refuses in fixed block
mode writes that are not a multiple of the block size. Read does trigger
it in my system.
The bug is not associated with any specific HBA. st tries to do direct i/o
in fixed block mode with reads that are not a multiple of tape block size.
The patch in this message fixes the st problem by switching to using the
driver buffer up to the next close of the device file in fixed block mode
if the user asks for a read like this.
I don't know why the bug has surfaced only after 2.6.17 although the st
problem is old. There may be another bug in the block subsystem and this
patch works around it. However, the patch fixes a problem in st and in
this way it is a valid fix.
This patch may also fix the bug 7900.
The patch compiles and is lightly tested.

The analysis is basically correct and explains the bug. According to the
SCSI standards, the sense code is NO SENSE or RECOVERED ERROR in case
writing filemark(s) succeeds. If it fails (partly or completely) the sense
code is VOLUME OVERFLOW. The patch below is tested to fix the case when
one filemark is successfully written after the EOM early warning. It
should also fix the case at real EOM but this has not been tested.

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.
This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.
Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.

It was an oops in sgl_unmap_user_pages(). The reason is this:
/* XXX: just for debug. Remove when PageReserved is removed */
BUG_ON(PageReserved(page));
I was using /dev/zero as input and it triggers this. When I used a file as
input, this did not trigger. Should this BUG_ON be removed?
In the same log I noticed that there was another ->sg_segs inconsistency.
Also, the field ->last_SRpnt was not reset when scsi_execute_async()
failed. This caused the error message "Async command already active"
later and prevented proper close.
While doing the changes, I noticed that the current code (since
2.6.0-test4) does not set the pages dirty when reading with direct i/o.
All of these st problems (including the one I sent earlier) are fixed in
the patch at the end of this message. These fixes should probably be
included already in 2.6.15.
After these fixes, the tape seems to operate as expected. Without other
changes, the largest block size with sym53c896 SCSI adapter is 384 kB. The
maximum number of sg segments is set to 96 and clustering is disabled in
the driver. 96 x 4 kB = 384 kB. OK.
I enabled clustering and set max_sectors to 10000 in the SCSI HBA driver.
Now the block size limit is 5000 kB as expected.

sd does not allow scsi_io_completion to retry commands for
SG_IO requests, and it make sense that it should not happen for st
SG_IO commands too. If for st we hit the bottom of scsi_io_completion
we will probably screw things up pretty bad. This patch returns to the
block layer that the whole command completed and relies on the caller to check

the previous behavior where scsi_io_completion did not process the error.

2.6.15-rc1 made sg's st_unmap_user_pages and st's sgl_unmap_user_pages
BUG on a PageReserved page. But that's wrong: they could be unmapping
the ZERO_PAGE, which is marked PG_reserved; and perhaps others (while
get_user_pages is still permitted on VM_PFNMAP areas - that may change).
More change is needed here: sg claims to dirty even pages written from,

adequate for this nowadays. Fixes to those follow in a later patch: for

Nick and I had already been looking at drivers/scsi/{sg.c,st.c},
brought there by __put_page in sg.c's peculiar sg_rb_correct4mmap,
which we'd like to remove. But that's irrelevant to your pain, except...
One extract from the patches I'd like to send Doug and Kai for 2.6.15
or 2.6.16 is this below: since the incomplete get_user_pages path omits
to reset res, but has already released all the pages, it will result in
premature freeing of user pages, and behaviour just like you've seen.
Though I'd have thought incomplete get_user_pages was an exceptional
case, and a bit surprised you'd encounter it. Perhaps there's some
other premature freeing in the driver, and this instance has nothing
whatever to do with it.
If the problem were easily reproducible, it'd be great if you could

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

I have rediffed the patch against 2.6.13-rc5, done a couple of cosmetic
cleanups, and run some tests. Brian King has acknowledged that it fixes the
problems he has seen. Seems mature enough for inclusion into 2.6.14 (or
later)?
Nate's explanation of the changes:
I've attached patches against 2.6.13rc2. These are basically identical
to my earlier patches, as I found that all issues I'd seen in earlier
kernels still existed in this kernel.
To summarize, the changes are: (more details in my original email)
- add a kref to the scsi_tape structure, and associate reference
counting stuff
- set sr_request->end_io = blk_end_sync_rq so we get notified when an IO
is rejected when the device goes away
- check rq_status when IOs complete, else we don't know that IOs
rejected for a dead device in fact did not complete
- change last_SRpnt so it's set before an async IO is issued (in case
st_sleep_done is bypassed)
- fix a bogus use of last_SRpnt in st_chk_result
