qla2x00t: Copy entire SCST sense buffer to q2x ctio
There seems to be a bug in passing sense information to QLA HBAs, where
the last 2 bytes of the sense data (ASC, ASCQ) are not copied to the low
level sense buffer.
We encountered this in ESX, which relies on these 2 bytes to parse the
MISCOMPARE sense code (0xE1, 0x1D, 0x00).
Bellow is a simple test to recreate this issue, but during vMotion
operations (where VMs are moved from one host to another), this may
cause the operation to fail leaving the VM in an inconsistent state.
The test I ran to verify that we are indeed missing the bytes is the
following:
1. Create a SCST based device
2. Expose the device to 2 ESX hosts
3. Format the device as VMFS5, create a test directory
4. From both hosts, I start writing to this directory (no VMs involved,
just write normal files)
At this stage, both ESX hosts try to take access to the directory.
The VMFS filesystem contains a per-directory lock which is managed by
COMPARE AND WRITE command.
Each ESX will attempt to change the VMFS lock location from unlocked to
locked to create the new file.
Obviously there are bound to be failures (which are equivalent to
programming locking conflicts), these are reported by the MISCOMPARE
sense code.
Upon these MISCOMPARE errors, the host will re-try taking the lock until
it succeeds, and will then proceed to perform the write operation on the
directory.
Due to the bug in copying the sense buffer from the SCST core to the QLA
ctio, instead of the full sense code, only the key (0xE) is sent, and
ESX does not know how to handle it resulting in IO error.
Here are the errors as they appear on the command line:
/vmfs/volumes/54a297c4-ca5af1cc-7f94-002219d20f28/ats_test #

In the /var/log/vmkernel.log, we can see that the sense information is
missing (0xE, 0x0, 0x0) instead of (0xE, 0x1D, 0x0).

fix (no IO errors, all the files are properly written to the directory).

vdisk_blockio: Report invalid scatterlists
It is possible for a target driver to pass a scatterlist via
scst_cmd_set_tgt_sg() that is valid for the vdisk_fileio handler
but not for the vdisk_blockio handler. Complain loudly if an invalid
scatterlist is passed to vdisk_blockio because such scatterlists
cause silent data corruption with most Linux block drivers.

Not all SCST components handle DESTDIR properly, or at all.
In particular:
* INSTALL_MOD_PATH should account for DESTDIR when 'make modules_install'
is invoked, so the kernel make infrastructure deploys the modules
and runs depmod against the proper directory tree.
* depmods must include a '-b' option to reference the proper directory tree.
* Drop special ISCSI_DESTDIR.

With a realtime kernel with full preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL),
spinlocks can sleep, interrupt handlers run in thread context, and
the standard local_irq functions manipulate preemptibility, not HW
interruptibility. Under these conditions, most calls to local_irq
functions should be replaced by no-ops. The CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch
defines _nort versions of local_irq functions that compile away
under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL and compile to their "normal"
equivalents otherwise.
Define _nort equivalents to support compilation against both
"normal" and RT-patched kernels, and use the _nort local_irq
functons in cases where spinlocks are taken within a
local_irq_save() or local_irq_disable() block. Without these
changes, runtime warnings about "sleeping function called from
invalid context" occur.

[bvanassche: Edited patch description and comment in scst_priv.h]

When deriving the kernel version (KVER) from KDIR, the file
$(KDIR)/include/config/kernel.release should be preferred over
'make kernelversion'.
For example, the Ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic kernel has a kernel.release
file containing '3.2.0-23-generic', but 'make kernelversion' returns
3.2.14. Since the modules are stored under /lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic,
the value in kernel.release is the correct one to use.
Also:
- Evaluate KVER only once
- All depmod commands must include KVER

Some users think these instructions are not valid for Linux 3.x kernels
since there are examples in this document referring to a 2.6.x kernel.
Hence update the examples.
Explain how to discover initiator port WWNs since this is nontrivial for
novice users.
Update the SourceForge SVN SCST URL since it changed a few months ago.
Move the qla2xxx module unload step to after the system reboot. Performing
that step after the reboot even though that module has already been
blacklisted is necessary because at that time initrd has not yet been
rebuilt and hence a reboot can cause that module to be reloaded from initrd.
The steps for building and installing SCST itself have been reduced from
four commands into a single command.
The sample scst.conf file is now generated - local FC port WWNs are
discovered automatically.
