Btw I've re-read SPC6 and found "The IMPLICIT TRANSITION TIME field indicates the minimum amount of time in seconds the application client should wait prior to timing out an implicit state transition (see 5.18.2.3)". This is unclear to me. "minimum amount of time" suggests that the host could decide to wait longer until it times out the transition. Worse, the spec doesn't clearly define when the transition is supposed to have started. From the host's PoV it makes sense to assume the start time is when it first encounters either TRANSITIONING from an RTPG, or NOT READY / 04 / 0a from a regular I/O, which is what we currently do. But the spec is remarkably unclear about it. Finally, the spec explicitly says that the timeout applies only to implicit transitions, without saying what to do in the case of an explicit transition...

Problem is, a timeout expiring is something outside the spec, so one can't be sure that the array does what's expected here. But the one key takeaway is that any port in transitioning is allowed to ignore TMFs, so any SCSI EH is pointless anyway.

Sorry for bothering. > What I'm still missing here is how we avoid sending further I/O down the path after the timeout has expired. alua_check_sense() will return NEEDS_RETRY, even if ALUA_PG_FAILED is set. Without this patch, alua_prep_fn() would return an error because it would see STANDBY state. With this patch, the state will stay TRANSITIONING, and (after 6056a92ceb2a ("scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Properly handle the ALUA transitioning state")) alua_prep_fn() will return BLK_STS_OK. IMO alua_check_sense() should return SUCCESS if ALUA_PG_FAILED is set, and alua_prep_fn() should return an error. Regards Martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
