scsi: libsas: direct call probe and destruct

In commit 87c8331fcf72 ("[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery
competing with ata error handling") introduced disco mutex to prevent
rediscovery competing with ata error handling and put the whole
revalidation in the mutex. But the rphy add/remove needs to wait for the
error handling which also grabs the disco mutex. This may leads to dead
lock.So the probe and destruct event were introduce to do the rphy
add/remove asynchronously and out of the lock.

The asynchronously processed workers makes the whole discovery process
not atomic, the other events may interrupt the process. For example,
if a loss of signal event inserted before the probe event, the
sas_deform_port() is called and the port will be deleted.

And sas_port_delete() may run before the destruct event, but the
port-x:x is the top parent of end device or expander. This leads to
a kernel WARNING such as:

[ 82.042979] sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'phy-1:0:22'

Make probe and destruct a direct call in the disco and revalidate function,
but put them outside the lock. The whole discovery or revalidate won't
be interrupted by other events. And the DISCE_PROBE and DISCE_DESTRUCT
event are deleted as a result of the direct call.

Introduce a new list to destruct the sas_port and put the port delete after
the destruct. This makes sure the right order of destroying the sysfs
kobject and fix the warning above.

In sas_ex_revalidate_domain() have a loop to find all broadcasted
device, and sometimes we have a chance to find the same expander twice.
Because the sas_port will be deleted at the end of the whole revalidate
process, sas_port with the same name cannot be added before this.
Otherwise the sysfs will complain of creating duplicate filename. Since
the LLDD will send broadcast for every device change, we can only
process one expander's revalidation.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

scsi: scsi_transport_sas: switch to bsg-lib for SMP passthrough

Simplify the SMP passthrough code by switching it to the generic bsg-lib
helpers that abstract away the details of the request code, and gets
drivers out of seeing struct scsi_request.

For the libsas host SMP code there is a small behavior difference in
that we now always clear the residual len for successful commands,
similar to the three other SMP handler implementations. Given that
there is no partial command handling in the host SMP handler this should
not matter in practice.

[SCSI] sas: unify the pointlessly separated enums sas_dev_type and sas_device_type

These enums have been separate since the dawn of SAS, mainly because the
latter is a procotol only enum and the former includes additional state
for libsas. The dichotomy causes endless confusion about which one you
should use where and leads to pointless warnings like this:

drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c: In function 'mvs_update_phyinfo':
drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c:1162:34: warning: comparison between 'enum sas_device_type' and 'enum sas_dev_type' [-Wenum-compare]

one, but call it sas_device_type and make sure the enums are all
properly namespaced with the SAS_ prefix.

[SCSI] libsas: fix sas_find_local_phy(), take phy references

In the direct-attached case this routine returns the phy on which this
device was first discovered. Which is broken if we want to support
wide-targets, as this phy reference can become stale even though the
port is still active.

In the expander-attached case this routine tries to lookup the phy by
scanning the attached sas addresses of the parent expander, and BUG_ONs
if it can't find it. However since eh and the libsas workqueue run
independently we can still be attempting device recovery via eh after
libsas has recorded the device as detached. This is even easier to hit
now that eh is blocked while device domain rediscovery takes place, and
that libata is fed more timed out commands increasing the chances that
it will try to recover the ata device.

Arrange for dev->phy to always point to a last known good phy, it may be
stale after the port is torn down, but it will catch up for wide port
reconfigurations, and never be NULL.

[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing with ata error handling

libata error handling provides for a timeout for link recovery. libsas
must not rescan for previously known devices in this interval otherwise
it may remove a device that is simply waiting for its link to recover.
Let libata-eh make the determination of when the link is stable and
prevent libsas (host workqueue) from taking action while this
determination is pending.

Using a mutex (ha->disco_mutex) to flush and disable revalidation while
eh is running requires any discovery action that may block on eh be
moved to its own context outside the lock. Probing ATA devices
explicitly waits on ata-eh and the cache-flush-io issued during device
removal may also pend awaiting eh completion. Essentially any rphy
add/remove activity needs to run outside the lock.

This adds two new cleanup states for sas_unregister_domain_devices()
'allocated-but-not-probed', and 'flagged-for-destruction'. In the
'allocated-but-not-probed' state dev->rphy points to a rphy that is
known to have not been through a sas_rphy_add() event. At domain
teardown check if this device is still pending probe and cleanup
accordingly. Similarly if a device has already been queued for removal
then sas_unregister_domain_devices has nothing to do.

[SCSI] libsas: Clean up discovery failure handler code

sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions,
sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
sas_discover_root_expander.

This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
sas_get_port_device.

This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.

tracking ports and the available number space can be a real pain.

The current implementation uses an incrementing number per expander to
add the port on. However, since there can never be more ports than
there are phys, a later implementation will try to be more intelligent
about this.

[SCSI] eliminate rphy allocation in favour of expander/end device allocation

This allows the removal of the contained flag and also does a bit of
class renaming (sas_rphy->sas_device).

[SCSI] add preliminary expander support to the sas transport class

This patch makes expanders appear as labelled objects with properties in
the SAS tree.

I've also modified the phy code to make expander phys appear labelled by
host number, expander number and phy index.

So, for my current config, you see something like this in sysfs:

/sys/class/scsi_host/host1/device/phy-1:4/expander-1:0/phy-1-0:12/rphy-1:0-12/target1:0:1

And the expander properties are:

jejb@sparkweed> cd /sys/class/sas_expander/expander-1\:0/
jejb@sparkweed> for f in *; do echo -n $f ": "; cat $f; done
component_id : 29024
component_revision_id : 4
component_vendor_id : VITESSE
device : cat: device: Is a directory

[PATCH] convert aic94xx over to using the sas transport end device

Begin introducing the concept of sas remote devices that have an rphy
embedded. The first one (this) is a simple end device. All that an
end device really does is have port mode page parameters contained.
The next and more complex piece will be expander remote devices.

[SCSI] sas: add flag for locally attached PHYs

Add a flag to mark a PHY as attached to the HBA as opposed to beeing on
an expander. This is needed because various features are only supported
on those. This is a crude hack, the proper fix would be to use
different classes for host-attached vs expander phys. I'm looking into
that.

[SCSI] SAS transport class

The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.

In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.

There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.

This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.

I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
of course very welcome.

I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
design.
