include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

[SCSI] iscsi_tcp, libiscsi: initial AHS Support at libiscsi generic code - currently code assumes a storage space of pdu header is allocated at llds ctask and is pointed to by iscsi_cmd_task->hdr. Here I add a hdr_max field pertaining to that storage, and an hdr_len that accumulates the current use of the pdu-header. - Add an iscsi_next_hdr() inline which returns the next free space to write new Header at. Also iscsi_next_hdr() is used to retrieve the address at which to write the header-digest. - Add iscsi_add_hdr(length). What the user do is calls iscsi_next_hdr() for address of the new header, than calls iscsi_add_hdr(length) with the size of the new header. iscsi_add_hdr() will check if space is available and update to the new size. length must be padded according to standard. - Add 2 padding inline helpers thanks to Olaf. Current patch does not use them but Following patches will. Also moved definition of ISCSI_PAD_LEN to iscsi_proto.h which had PAD_WORD_LEN that was never used anywhere. - Let iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu() signal an Error return since now it is possible that it will fail. - I was tired of yet again writing a "this is a digest" comment next to sizeof(__u32) so I defined a new ISCSI_DIGEST_SIZE. Now I don't need any comments. Changed all places that used sizeof(__u32) or "4" in connection to a digest. iscsi_tcp specific code - At struct iscsi_tcp_cmd_task allocate maximum space allowed in standard for all headers following the iscsi_cmd header. and mark it so in iscsi_tcp_session_create() - At iscsi_send_cmd_hdr() retrieve the correct headers size and write header digest at iscsi_next_hdr().

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue. Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t queue. In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added, pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.

The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue. Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t queue. In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added, pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions.

Here I add a hdr_max field pertaining to that storage, and an hdr_len that accumulates the current use of the pdu-header. - Add an iscsi_next_hdr() inline which returns the next free space to write new Header at. Also iscsi_next_hdr() is used to retrieve the address at which to write the header-digest. - Add iscsi_add_hdr(length). What the user do is calls iscsi_next_hdr() for address of the new header, than calls iscsi_add_hdr(length) with the size of the new header. iscsi_add_hdr() will check if space is available and update to the new size. length must be padded according to standard. - Add 2 padding inline helpers thanks to Olaf. Current patch does not use them but Following patches will. Also moved definition of ISCSI_PAD_LEN to iscsi_proto.h which had PAD_WORD_LEN that was never used anywhere. - Let iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu() signal an Error return since now it is possible that it will fail. - I was tired of yet again writing a "this is a digest" comment next to sizeof(__u32) so I defined a new ISCSI_DIGEST_SIZE. Now I don't need any comments. Changed all places that used sizeof(__u32) or "4" in connection to a digest. iscsi_tcp specific code - At struct iscsi_tcp_cmd_task allocate maximum space allowed in standard for all headers following the iscsi_cmd header. and mark it so in iscsi_tcp_session_create() - At iscsi_send_cmd_hdr() retrieve the correct headers size and write header digest at iscsi_next_hdr().

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue. Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t queue. In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added, pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.

The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue. Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t queue. In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added, pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions.

[SCSI] libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively. The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out. The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions.

The backward lock protects resources that change while processing a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in. Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows associated with iscsi sessions. Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not vice versa. For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the forward lock is retaken. libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue. The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm. That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards) path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool. In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t queue. Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t queue. In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added, pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.
