The UniPro stack manages to repair many potential Link problems without the
need to notify the Application Layer. Repair mechanisms of the stack
include L2 re-transmission and successful handling of PA_INIT.req.
Nevertheless, any successful repair sequence requires Link bandwidth that
is no longer vailable for the Application. Therefore, it may be useful for
an Application to understand how often such repair attempts are made.
The DME implements Quality of Service monitoring using a simple counting
scheme, counting error events and comparing them against the number of
correctly received or transmitted bytes. When the error counter exceeds a
programmed threshold before the byte counter overflows, a DME_QoS.ind is
issued to the Application and both counters are reset. When the byte
counter overflows before the error counter has reached the programmed
threshold, both counters are reset without triggering a DME_QoS.ind.
The DME provides Link quality monitoring for the following purposes:
1. Detection of re-occurring repaired fatal error conditions on the Link
(PA_INIT loop). This kind of detection is useful if capabilities
exchanged between local and peer permit a potential operation at a
higher M-PHY Gear, but the physical interconnect between local and peer
Device does not, or, after Line quality degradation, no longer satisfies
channel characteristics.
2. Detection of degraded inbound or outbound Link quality, to allow an
Application to issue an ADAPT sequence for a Link running in HS-G4 or
higher HS Gears. This kind of detection is used to monitor a slowly
degrading Link quality, e.g., one being affected by temperature and
voltage variations, against the expected M-PHY bit error rate.
Userspace can configure and enable UniPro QoS via UniPro QoS Attributes
(via UFS BSG) and get notified by dme_qos_notification without polling
UniPro QoS Status attribute. The dme_qos_notification attribute is a
bitfield with the following bit assignments:
Bit Description
=== ======================================
0 DME QoS Monitor has been reset by host
1 QoS from TX is detected
2 QoS from RX is detected
3 QoS from PA_INIT is detected

Previously, host_lock was used to prevent bit-set conflicts in async_scan,
but this approach introduced naked reads in some code paths.
Convert async_scan from a bitfield to a bool type to eliminate bit-level
conflicts entirely. Use __guarded_by(&scan_mutex) to indicate that the
async_scan variable is protected by scan_mutex.

The following patches made over Linus's current tree allow users to
tell the target layer to perform direct completions instead of always
deferring to LIO's completion workqueue. When the frontend driver
already has multiple worker threads (or you are doing a LUN per target
with a single thread per target) then bypassing the LIO workqueue can
increase performance 20-30%.

This has vhost-scsi report that it supports direct completions.
When using a worker task per queue or group of queues with fast backends
then enabling direct completion and submissions increases performance
20-30% with workloads like:
fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=8K \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=$jobs
As jobs matches and passes the number of vCPUs in the VM then the
benefit increases.
However, when using a single worker then queueing completions and
submissions is best as the worker is busy handling mapping data and
setting/tearing down commands.

This allows userspace to request if we complete in the backend context
or the frontend driver. It works the same as submission where you can
write 0 to 2 to complete_type:
0 - Use the fabric driver's preference.
1 - Complete from the backend calling context if the fabric supports
it.
2 - Queue the completion to LIO's completion workqueue.

To complete a command several drivers just drop their reference and add
it to list to be processed by a driver specific thread. So there's no
need to go from backend context to the LIO thread then to the driver's
thread. When avoiding the LIO thread, IOPS can increase from 20-30% for
workloads like:
fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=8K \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=$jobs
where increasing jobs increases the performance improvement (this is
using NVMe drives with LIO's submit_type=1 to directly submit).
Add the infrastructure so drivers and userspace can control how to
complete a command like is done for the submission path. In this commit
there is no behavior change and we continue to defer to the LIO
workqueue thread. In the subsequent commits we will allow drivers to
report what they support and allow userspace to control the behavior.

The WRITE SAME(16) and WRITE SAME(10) SCSI commands use a page from a
dedicated mempool (sd_page_pool) for their payload. This pool was
initialized to allocate single pages, which was sufficient as long as the
device sector size did not exceed the PAGE_SIZE.
Given that block layer now supports block size upto 64KB, i.e. beyond
PAGE_SIZE, initialize a large page pool in sd_probe() if a higher sector
device is attached, ensuring atomicity. Adapt sd_set_special_bvec() to use
large page pool when a higher sector size device is attached. Hence enable
sector sizes > PAGE_SIZE in SCSI sd driver.

Add a 'serial' sysfs attribute for SCSI and SATA devices. This attribute
exposes the Unit Serial Number, which is derived from the Device
Identification Vital Product Data (VPD) page 0x80.
Whitespace is stripped from the retrieved serial number to handle the
different alignment (right-aligned for SCSI, potentially left-aligned for
SATA). As noted in SAT-5 10.5.3, "Although SPC-5 defines the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field as right-aligned, ACS-5 does not require its SERIAL NUMBER
field to be right-aligned. Therefore, right-alignment of the PRODUCT SERIAL
NUMBER field for the translation is not assured."
This attribute is used by tools such as lsblk to display the serial number
of block devices.

with a UIC command complete interrupt. Currently, we only see the timeout
log without any debug information, making it unclear whether the UFS device

When a port is offline in lpfc_sli_abort_ring, the phba->txcmplq is
cleared but the phba->txcmplq_cnt is not reset to zero. This can
sometimes result in a phba->txcmplq_cnt that never reaches zero, which
hangs the cleanup process.
Update lpfc_sli_abort_ring so that txcmplq_cnt is reset to zero and also

If kref_get_unless_zero on ndlp->kref is unsuccessful, then there's no
point to log kref_read(&ndlp->kref) because it will of course be zero.
In such cases, ndlp->vport would also be an invalid pointer. Thus, use
pr_info() instead of lpfc_printf_vlog() to log when a kref get is
attempted on an ndlp with a zero kref.
