[PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx: Keep initiator ports after RSCN

[PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx: Keep initiator ports after RSCN

[Roman Bolshakov]

The driver performs SCR (state change registration) in all modes
including pure target mode.

For each RSCN, scan_needed flag is set in qla2x00_handle_rscn() for the
port mentioned in the RSCN and fabric rescan is scheduled. During the
rescan, GNN_FT handler, qla24xx_async_gnnft_done() deletes session of
the port that caused the RSCN.

In target mode, the session deletion has an impact on ATIO handler,
qlt_24xx_atio_pkt(). Target responds with SAM STATUS BUSY to I/O
incoming from the deleted session. qlt_handle_cmd_for_atio() and
qlt_handle_task_mgmt() return -EFAULT if they are not able to find
session of the command/TMF, and that results in invocation of
qlt_send_busy():

  qlt_24xx_atio_pkt_all_vps: qla_target(0): type 6 ox_id 0014
  qla_target(0): Unable to send command to target, sending BUSY status

Such response causes command timeout on the initiator. Error handler
thread on the initiator will be spawned to abort the commands:

  scsi 23:0:0:0: tag#0 abort scheduled
  scsi 23:0:0:0: tag#0 aborting command
  qla2xxx [0000:af:00.0]-188c:23: Entered qla24xx_abort_command.
  qla2xxx [0000:af:00.0]-801c:23: Abort command issued nexus#:0:0 -- 0 2003.

Command abort is rejected by target and fails (2003), error handler then
tries to perform DEVICE RESET and TARGET RESET but they're also doomed
to fail because TMFs are ignored for the deleted sessions.

Then initiator makes BUS RESET that resets the link via
qla2x00_full_login_lip(). BUS RESET succeeds and brings initiator port
up, SAN switch detects that and sends RSCN to the target port and it
fails again the same way as described above. It never goes out of the
loop.

The change breaks the RSCN loop by keeping initiator sessions mentioned
in RSCN payload in all modes, including dual and pure target mode.

Hi Martin,

Please apply the patch to scsi-fixes/5.7 at your earliest convenience.

qla2xxx in target and, likely, dual mode is unusable in some SAN fabrics
due to the bug.

Thanks,
Roman

P.S. A little bit cleaner alternative would be to avoid session deletion
only if scan needed is set (that allows session deletion of initiator
ports after fabric discovery if N_Port ID change happened). Please let
me know if I should submit v2 like this:

P.S. A little bit cleaner alternative would be to avoid session deletion
only if scan needed is set (that allows session deletion of initiator
ports after fabric discovery if N_Port ID change happened). Please let
me know if I should submit v2 like this:

Hi Roman,

what if the session does need to be deleted eventually? E.g. if after
the RSCN the connection to the initiator is actually lost, either
temporarily or for good? Would the session be deleted in some other
code path, or would it just continue to lurk around?

Hi Martin,

I'm sorry for the delay, it took a while to complete the answer :)

In the other reply to the patch I sent a proposal for v2. We might go
with it to handle N_Port_ID changes. N_Port_ID may change in the
switched fabric topology if initiator cable is replugged to another
physical port on the SAN switch (some fabrics assign physical port
number to domain area). Physical reconnection means initiator is going
to relogin anyway and previous session is no longer needed.

Third variant would be to check non-NULL TCM session on the fcport instead of
checking against fc_port type but that will be less reliable if qla2xxx_nvmet
is added to the mainline, i.e.:

     } else if (fcport->d_id.b24 != rp->id.b24 ||
                (fcport->scan_needed &&
                 !fcport->se_sess)) {
             qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
     }

Fourth variant would be to disable SCR in pure target mode as Firmware
Interface Specification suggests. Although, the issue would still exit
in dual mode. Proposal #2 and #3 fix the issue in target and dual modes.

RSCN per-se shouldn't be a reason to delete initiator IMO, since it's
just a notification that state of the entity in the fabric has changed.
Nx_Port should figure out what changed and then decide if it's worth to
keep session of the port.

There are multiple cases in v5.7 when session deletion happens. I tried
to cover them below in cscope order and inspected the code around.
Pardon me for mistakes if I overlooked something:

1.
2.
3.  GPN_ID request may be issued to find if something has changed with a
    port after an RSCN.

    I don't see if it's called anywhere though. There's an request of
    GPN_ID inside GPN_ID response handling but it's never called
    outside. So it looks a kind of dead code:

    qla24xx_post_gpnid_work() sends QLA_EVT_GPNID ->
    qla2x00_do_work() dispatches the event to qla24xx_async_gpnid() ->
    qla24xx_async_gpnid() sends IOCB with GPN_ID to fimrware and sets up
    call back to qla2x00_async_gpnid_sp_done() ->
    qla2x00_async_gpnid_sp_done() calls qla24xx_post_gpnid_work() if the
    IOCB timed out or RSCN arrived in the middle of the request.


    If GPN_ID request fails, all session on the host are deleted in
    qla24xx_handle_gpnid_event(). It's kind of weird that it deletes
    everything. May be it was expected to look like this to delete only
    the port that was requested in the GPN_ID request (ea->id.b24):

      if (ea->rc) {
              /* cable is disconnected */
              list_for_each_entry_safe(fcport, t, &vha->vp_fcports, list) {
                      if (fcport->d_id.b24 = ea->id.b24) {
                              fcport->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

         		      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
         	     }
              }
      } else {

    Instead of (5.7/scsi-fixes):

      if (ea->rc) {
              /* cable is disconnected */
              list_for_each_entry_safe(fcport, t, &vha->vp_fcports, list) {
                      if (fcport->d_id.b24 = ea->id.b24)
                              fcport->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

                      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
              }
      } else {


    If GPN_ID request suceeds, and there's a session for the port with
    the same N_Port_Name, it deletes all sessions on the host in
    qla24xx_handle_gpnid_event(). It looks like too heavy hammer IMO,
    maybe it was expected to behave like this to replace only session
    session with the same N_Port_Name (including deleted sessions):

      list_for_each_entry_safe(conflict, t, &vha->vp_fcports,
          list) {
              if ((conflict->d_id.b24 = ea->id.b24) &&
                  (fcport != conflict)) {
                      /*
                       * 2 fcports with conflict Nport ID or
                       * an existing fcport is having nport ID
                       * conflict with new fcport.
                       */

                      conflict->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

         	      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(conflict);
              }
      }

    Instead of (5.7/scsi-fixes):

      list_for_each_entry_safe(conflict, t, &vha->vp_fcports,
          list) {
              if ((conflict->d_id.b24 = ea->id.b24) &&
                  (fcport != conflict))
                      /*

    In the case of mixed FC-NVMe/FCP initiator/target, PRLO/TPRLO
    to/from SCSI target may break sessions of FC-NVMe, likewise FC-NVMe
    PRLO/TPRLO may break FCP sessions.

    PRLO and TPRLO (which is like PRLO from all ports) should only
    downgrade session of the requested FC-4 type to a kind of "process
    (i.e. FCP/FC-NVMe) logged out" state rather than delete it. TPRLO
    should log out all sessions of the FC-4 type on the target port,
    while PRLO should do it only for the originator of the ELS request.

So, as a summary, it seems that the existing code mostly keeps sessions
until:
 - a conflict of N_Port_ID, N_Port_Name or N_Port handle detected;
 - the session is in the middle of refresh/rescan and RSCN arrives;
 - there's an explicit process or port logout from the session, i.e.
   PRLO, TPRLO, LOGO
 - there's a new port or process login from the same session, i.e.
   PLOGI, PRLI;
 - target is shut down;
 - target port link is reset;

And if a session of an initiator is deleted when driver works in target
mode, new session won't be established until a PLOGI and PRLI come from
the initiator.

The assumption is used qlt_handle_cmd_for_atio() and
qlt_handle_task_mgmt() to discard commands and TMFs from initiators that
are not logged in.

Hi Martin,

I'm sorry for the delay, it took a while to complete the answer :)

In the other reply to the patch I sent a proposal for v2. We might go
with it to handle N_Port_ID changes. N_Port_ID may change in the
switched fabric topology if initiator cable is replugged to another
physical port on the SAN switch (some fabrics assign physical port
number to domain area). Physical reconnection means initiator is going
to relogin anyway and previous session is no longer needed.

Third variant would be to check non-NULL TCM session on the fcport instead of
checking against fc_port type but that will be less reliable if qla2xxx_nvmet
is added to the mainline, i.e.:

     } else if (fcport->d_id.b24 != rp->id.b24 ||
                (fcport->scan_needed &&
                 !fcport->se_sess)) {
             qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
     }

Fourth variant would be to disable SCR in pure target mode as Firmware
Interface Specification suggests. Although, the issue would still exit
in dual mode. Proposal #2 and #3 fix the issue in target and dual modes.

RSCN per-se shouldn't be a reason to delete initiator IMO, since it's
just a notification that state of the entity in the fabric has changed.
Nx_Port should figure out what changed and then decide if it's worth to
keep session of the port.

There are multiple cases in v5.7 when session deletion happens. I tried
to cover them below in cscope order and inspected the code around.
Pardon me for mistakes if I overlooked something:

1.
2.
3.  GPN_ID request may be issued to find if something has changed with a
    port after an RSCN.

    I don't see if it's called anywhere though. There's an request of
    GPN_ID inside GPN_ID response handling but it's never called
    outside. So it looks a kind of dead code:

    qla24xx_post_gpnid_work() sends QLA_EVT_GPNID ->
    qla2x00_do_work() dispatches the event to qla24xx_async_gpnid() ->
    qla24xx_async_gpnid() sends IOCB with GPN_ID to fimrware and sets up
    call back to qla2x00_async_gpnid_sp_done() ->
    qla2x00_async_gpnid_sp_done() calls qla24xx_post_gpnid_work() if the
    IOCB timed out or RSCN arrived in the middle of the request.


    If GPN_ID request fails, all session on the host are deleted in
    qla24xx_handle_gpnid_event(). It's kind of weird that it deletes
    everything. May be it was expected to look like this to delete only
    the port that was requested in the GPN_ID request (ea->id.b24):

      if (ea->rc) {
              /* cable is disconnected */
              list_for_each_entry_safe(fcport, t, &vha->vp_fcports, list) {
                      if (fcport->d_id.b24 == ea->id.b24) {
                              fcport->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

         		      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
         	     }
              }
      } else {

    Instead of (5.7/scsi-fixes):

      if (ea->rc) {
              /* cable is disconnected */
              list_for_each_entry_safe(fcport, t, &vha->vp_fcports, list) {
                      if (fcport->d_id.b24 == ea->id.b24)
                              fcport->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

                      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(fcport);
              }
      } else {


    If GPN_ID request suceeds, and there's a session for the port with
    the same N_Port_Name, it deletes all sessions on the host in
    qla24xx_handle_gpnid_event(). It looks like too heavy hammer IMO,
    maybe it was expected to behave like this to replace only session
    session with the same N_Port_Name (including deleted sessions):

      list_for_each_entry_safe(conflict, t, &vha->vp_fcports,
          list) {
              if ((conflict->d_id.b24 == ea->id.b24) &&
                  (fcport != conflict)) {
                      /*
                       * 2 fcports with conflict Nport ID or
                       * an existing fcport is having nport ID
                       * conflict with new fcport.
                       */

                      conflict->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

         	      qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(conflict);
              }
      }

    Instead of (5.7/scsi-fixes):

      list_for_each_entry_safe(conflict, t, &vha->vp_fcports,
          list) {
              if ((conflict->d_id.b24 == ea->id.b24) &&
                  (fcport != conflict))
                      /*
                       * 2 fcports with conflict Nport ID or
                       * an existing fcport is having nport ID
                       * conflict with new fcport.
                       */

                      conflict->scan_state = QLA_FCPORT_SCAN;

              qlt_schedule_sess_for_deletion(conflict);
      }

    If GPN_ID request succeeds, no sessions were were found for the
    N_Port_Name but there's a session with conflicting N_Port_ID, it gets
    deleted in qla24xx_handle_gpnid_event().

Yes, this looks like an improvement to me. To express it in my own
words (as the logic is subtle): wrt the original code, this only
changes the behavior if the NPort ID is unchanged but "scan_needed" is
set - in this case the session used to be deleted, but with this patch
it isn't any more.

Thanks,
Martin

thank you for this incredibly extensive response. I'll bookmark it,
I guess it can serve as a reference for future qla2xxx work. I hope you
didn't do all this work just for my little question.

Forgive me that I won't immediately try to review this document in
detail. You've studied and understood this driver in much more depth
than I probably ever will.

Thanks again,
Martin

What is the current status of this patch? There was a bunch of going
back and forth wrt. whether this was the correct approach.

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

The patch has a logic error that prevents session deletion if N_Port ID
was changed after fabric rescan and shouldn't be merged IMO. I'll send a
correct v2 shortly.

Thanks,
Roman
