[PATCH V2] mpt3sas: support target smid for [abort|query] task

[PATCH V2] mpt3sas: support target smid for [abort|query] task

[Minwoo Im]

We can request task management IOCTL command(MPI2_FUNCTION_SCSI_TASK_MGMT)
to /dev/mpt3ctl.  If the given task_type is either abort task or query
task, it may need a field named "Initiator Port Transfer Tag to Manage"
in the IU.

Current code does not support to check target IPTT tag from the
tm_request.  This patch introduces to check TaskMID given from the
userspace as a target tag.  We have a rule of relationship between
(struct request *req->tag) and smid in mpt3sas_base.c:

3318 u16
3319 mpt3sas_base_get_smid_scsiio(struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc, u8 cb_idx,
3320         struct scsi_cmnd *scmd)
3321 {
3322         struct scsiio_tracker *request = scsi_cmd_priv(scmd);
3323         unsigned int tag = scmd->request->tag;
3324         u16 smid;
3325
3326         smid = tag + 1;

So if we want to abort a request tagged #X, then we can pass (X + 1) to
this IOCTL handler.  Otherwise, user space just can pass 0 TaskMID to
abort the first outstanding smid which is legacy behaviour.

I think this is fundamentally wrong.
ABORT_TASK is used to abort a single task, which of course has to be
known beforehand. If you don't know the task, what exactly do you hope
to achieve here? Aborting random I/O?
Or, even worse, aborting I/O the driver uses internally and corrupt the
internal workflow of the driver?

We should simply disallow any ABORT TASK from userspace if the TaskMID
is zero. And I would even argue to disabllow ABORT TASK from userspace
completely, as the smid is never relayed to userland, and as such the
user cannot know which task should be aborted.

Cheers,

Hannes

This patch is nothing but a case-addition to the existing code.  I also
have a doubt here why the first picked SMID should be aborted/queried,
but not for this time in this patch.

System administrator might want to query task or abort task if something
happens based on the tag in block layer via debugfs or some logs.
You're right that userspaces has nothing to do with the tag generation
which will be held inside block layer.  But some of administrator would
know the relationship between smid and tag which can be found at debugfs
or the logs.

I'm not sure if it's okay to be picked, but if we can request TMF for the
Targeted smid to the HBA firmware, it would be great to test devices or
Figure out what happened in the target device.

Hannes,

This interface was added long time back in mpt2sas driver and I don't
have exact reason of adding this interface at that time.
But I know that this interface is still used by BRCM test team & few
customers only for some functionality and regression testing.

Actually I have sent this patch for the testing purpose for the SAS storage
that I'm working with now.  Some of test platform could figure out which
command has to be aborted or queried via debugfs and information from the
device itself with some other methods.  If the mpt3sas driver supports
the targeted TMF for a single command, then it would be great for the
testing.
