Does sg3_utils break with SCSI_PROC_FS=n? First, the sg driver. If placing #undef CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS prior to the includes in sg.c is a valid way to test that then the answer is no. Ah, but you are talking about sg3_utils . Or are you? For sg3_utils: $ find . -name '*.c' -exec grep "/proc/scsi" {} \; -print static const char * proc_allow_dio = "/proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio"; ./src/sg_read.c static const char * proc_allow_dio = "/proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio"; ./src/sgp_dd.c static const char * proc_allow_dio = "/proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio"; ./src/sgm_dd.c static const char * proc_allow_dio = "/proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio"; ./src/sg_dd.c "'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio'\n", q_len, dirio_count); ./testing/sg_tst_bidi.c static const char * proc_allow_dio = "/proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio"; ./examples/sgq_dd.c That is 6 (not 38) by my count. Those 6 are all for direct IO (see below) which is off by default. I suspect old scanning utilities like sg_scan and sg_map might also use /proc/scsi/* . That is one reason why I wrote lsscsi. However I can't force folks to use lsscsi. As a related example, I still get bug reports for sginfo which I inherited from Eric Youngdale. If I was asked to debug a problem with the sg driver in a system without CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS defined, I would decline. The absence of /proc/scsi/sg/debug would be my issue. Can this be set up to do the same thing: cat /sys/class/scsi_generic/debug ? Is that breaking any sysfs rules? Also folks who rely on this to work: cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices 0 0 0 0 0 1 255 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 255 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 1 255 0 1 would be disappointed. Further I note that setting allow_dio via /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio can also be done via /sys/module/sg/allow_dio . So that would be an interface breakage, but with an alternative.

Hello everyone, Please note that I am _in no way_ suggesting that we remove any code. I just think it might be time to stop forcing CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS into every config, and instead require one to explicitly request the aging feature (which makes CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS show up in a defconfig). Maybe we could add CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS to arch/x86/configs/foo ? (For which foo? In a separate patch or squashed with this one?) Regards. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

In a separate patch or squashed with this one?) Marc, Since current sg driver usage seems to depend more on SCSI_PROC_FS being "y" than other parts of the SCSI subsystem then if SCSI_PROC_FS is to default to "n" in the future then a new CONFIG_SG_PROC_FS variable could be added. If CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG is "*" or "m" then default CONFIG_SG_PROC_FS to "y"; if CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is "y" then default CONFIG_SG_PROC_FS to "y"; else default CONFIG_SG_PROC_FS to "n". Obviously the sg driver would need to be changed to use CONFIG_SG_PROC_FS instead of CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS . Does that defeat the whole purpose of your proposal or could it be seen as a partial step in that direction? What is the motivation for this proposal? Doug Gilbert BTW We still have the non-sg related 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' usage and 'cat /proc/scsi/device_info'. And I believe the latter one is writable even though its permissions say otherwise. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

Only in the sense that writing to /proc/scsi/device_info changes the way the SCSI mid-level handles the identified device. So that is in common with, and hence the same relation as, sd, sr, st, ses, etc have with the identified device (e.g. a specialized USB dongle).

You've made it clear that SCSI_PROC_FS is important for several classes of hardware. You worry that changing the Kconfig default would force distro maintainers (we are talking about Debian/Redhat/Suse/etc right?) to actually turn the feature on, instead of relying on the "default y" behavior (as they have done in the past). How likely is it that distro kernels would *not* enable CHR_DEV_SG? (Distros tend to enable everything, and then some.) CHR_DEV_SG is enabled in the default configs for i386 and x86_64: $ git grep CHR_DEV_SG arch/x86/configs/ arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y => As soon as CHR_DEV_SG is enabled, SCSI_PROC_FS is also enabled. (I work on smaller systems where we do use /proc occasionally, but we don't enable CHR_DEV_SG or SCSI_PROC_FS.) I think we just need to find a reasonable condition for enabling SCSI_PROC_FS by default on "your" sytems, and not on "mine" ;-) Regards. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

Many sg apps depend on SCSI_PROC_FS. That doesn't imply that only sg apps depend on it. As an example, with SCSI_PROC_FS enabled we don't need your SanDisk Cruzer Blade patch at all since you can tweak the blacklist flags from user space. Also, the "legacy" moniker was wishful thinking. Applied to the Kconfig option at a time where sysfs was new and shiny and considered the solution to all the kernel's problems. But that wholesale transition of all interfaces from /proc simply never took place. What happened was that *new* functionality largely went to sysfs. Note that I don't have a problem adding missing knobs to sysfs where it makes sense. But it will obviously take a while for userland apps to adopt it. -- Martin K.

I don't see where you're going with this line of reasoning? Below is my current (as of next-20190612) defconfig. Notice the options marked as "not set". These are options that are enabled by default (and which I've disabled). Everyone thinks "their" option is critical (and it is, *to them*) but, in fact, few really are -- universally. When an option is enabled by default, it does not show up in defconfigs that want the option, and shows up as disabled in defconfigs that don't want it. Ideally, options would show as enabled in defconfigs that want the option, and not show in defconfigs that don't. I'm currently trying to change "enabled by default" for the following options: # CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set # CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE is not set # CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is not set # CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_XGENE is not set # CONFIG_QCOM_A53PLL is not set # CONFIG_QCOM_CLK_APCS_MSM8916 is not set I guess SCSI_PROC_FS might be the more useful to me, as it might help debugging USB drive issues? In any event, I would rather have it show up explicitly in my defconfig, to remind me I've selected it. As for a few other "default on" options in my defconfig... - SWAP I guess goes all the way back to Linux 2.0 on x86 - EFI is enabled by default because "big" arm64 systems rely on it. But that's not true of smaller arm64 systems, based on DT. - Not sure about the IOSCHED algorithms. - IPV6 makes sense, to push for broader adoption TODO: look into HW_RANDOM and CRYPTO_HW # CONFIG_SWAP is not set CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y CONFIG_PREEMPT=y CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=20 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM=y CONFIG_CMDLINE="ignore_loglevel nosmp" # CONFIG_EFI is not set # CONFIG_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_ARM_CPUIDLE=y CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y # CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_DEADLINE is not set # CONFIG_MQ_IOSCHED_KYBER is not set CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set # CONFIG_WIRELESS is not set CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y CONFIG_PCIE_QCOM=y CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y CONFIG_SCSI=y # CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_SCSI_UFSHCD=y CONFIG_SCSI_UFSHCD_PLATFORM=y CONFIG_SCSI_UFS_QCOM=y CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_ATL1C=y # CONFIG_WLAN is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE is not set # CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT is not set CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=16 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM=y CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_DEV_BUS=y # CONFIG_HW_RANDOM is not set CONFIG_I2C=y CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y CONFIG_I2C_QUP=y CONFIG_SPMI=y CONFIG_PINCTRL_MSM8998=y CONFIG_THERMAL=y CONFIG_QCOM_TSENS=y CONFIG_REGULATOR=y CONFIG_REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE=y CONFIG_REGULATOR_QCOM_SMD_RPM=y # CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE is not set # CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is not set CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_SOC=y CONFIG_SND_SOC_WCD9335=y # CONFIG_HID is not set # CONFIG_USB_HID is not set CONFIG_USB=y # CONFIG_USB_PCI is not set CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_USB_DWC3=y # CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_XGENE is not set CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_QCOM=y # CONFIG_QCOM_A53PLL is not set # CONFIG_QCOM_CLK_APCS_MSM8916 is not set CONFIG_QCOM_CLK_SMD_RPM=y CONFIG_MSM_GCC_8998=y CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK=y CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK_QCOM=y CONFIG_MAILBOX=y CONFIG_QCOM_APCS_IPC=y CONFIG_ARM_SMMU=y CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_RPM=y CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_SMEM=y CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_SMD=y CONFIG_RPMSG_VIRTIO=y CONFIG_QCOM_COMMAND_DB=y CONFIG_QCOM_SMEM=y CONFIG_QCOM_SMD_RPM=y CONFIG_IIO=y CONFIG_PHY_QCOM_QMP=y CONFIG_PHY_QCOM_QUSB2=y CONFIG_NVMEM=y CONFIG_QCOM_QFPROM=y CONFIG_SLIMBUS=y CONFIG_SLIM_QCOM_CTRL=y CONFIG_INTERCONNECT=y CONFIG_INTERCONNECT_QCOM=y CONFIG_TMPFS=y # CONFIG_CRYPTO_HW is not set CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y CONFIG_STACKTRACE=y ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread
