      [SCSI] iscsi: fix up iscsi eh · 30a6c652
      Mike Christie authored
      The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath
      and performs some extra task management functions when they
      are not needed.
      
      The attached patch:
      
      - Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt
      then we do not send aborts.
      
      - Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would
      return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything
      yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR.
      
      - If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try
      and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout
      we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command
      timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a
      command to go from one patch to another. For network problems
      we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set
      scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to
      try on another path.
      
      - And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously
      if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code
      in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient
      or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin
      to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler
      is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be
      adding to that for qla4xxx.

      [SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up · fd7255f5
      Mike Christie authored
      For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we
      need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it
      iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that
      process is matching a session running the kernel with the
      iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch
      adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide
      them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport
      class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

      [SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connection · b5c7a12d
      Mike Christie authored
      from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu
      
      hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
      for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
      "iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
      patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
      the session and connection.
      
      Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
      open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
      say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
      designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
      need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
      have the HW available to us so we could only guess.
      
      Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
      or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
      userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

      [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option · ac2b898c
      Christoph Lameter authored
      SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
      reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
      thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
      slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
      is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
      
      Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
      I cannot find a reason for having this option.
      
      There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
      of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
      same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
      certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
      or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
      check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
      
      Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.
