Niklas Cassel 759e8756da ata: libata-scsi: do not needlessly defer commands when using PMP with FBS
The ACS specification does not allow a non-NCQ command to be issued while
an NCQ command is outstanding.

Commit 0ea84089db ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation")
introduced a feature where a deferred non-NCQ command gets issued from a
workqueue. The design stores a single non-NCQ command per port.

However, when using Port Multipliers (PMPs), specifically PMPs that
support FIS-Based Switching (FBS), non-NCQ and NCQ commands can be mixed
on the same port, just not for the same link, see e.g. ata_std_qc_defer()
which is, and always has operated on a per-link basis.

Therefore, move the deferred_qc from struct ata_port to struct ata_link.
This way, when using a PMP with FBS, we will not needlessly defer commands
to all other links, just because one link issued a non-NCQ command while
having an NCQ command outstanding. Only commands for that specific link
will be deferred. This is in line with how PMPs with FBS worked before
commit 0ea84089db ("ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation").

Pedro FalcatoandNiklas Cassel b92b0075ee ata: libata-core: Add BRIDGE_OK quirk for QEMU drives
Currently, whenever you boot with a QEMU drive over an AHCI interface,
you get:
[    1.632121] ata1.00: applying bridge limits

This happens due to the kernel not believing the given drive is SATA,
since word 93 of IDENTIFY (ATA_ID_HW_CONFIG) is non-zero. The result is
a pretty severe limit in max_hw_sectors_kb, which limits our IO sizes.

QEMU has set word 93 erroneously for SATA drives but does not, in any
way, emulate any of these real hardware details. There is no PATA
drive and no SATA cable.

As such, add a BRIDGE_OK quirk for QEMU HARDDISK. Special care is taken
to limit this quirk to "2.5+", to allow for fixed future versions.

This results in the max_hw_sectors being limited solely by the
controller interface's limits. Which, for AHCI controllers, takes it
from 128KB to 32767KB.

        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Damien Le Moal 0ea84089db ata: libata-scsi: avoid Non-NCQ command starvation
When a non-NCQ command is issued while NCQ commands are being executed,
ata_scsi_qc_issue() indicates to the SCSI layer that the command issuing
should be deferred by returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_XXX_BUSY.  This command
deferring is correct and as mandated by the ACS specifications since
NCQ and non-NCQ commands cannot be mixed.

However, in the case of a host adapter using multiple submission queues,
when the target device is under a constant load of NCQ commands, there
are no guarantees that requeueing the non-NCQ command will be executed
later and it may be deferred again repeatedly as other submission queues
can constantly issue NCQ commands from different CPUs ahead of the
non-NCQ command. This can lead to very long delays for the execution of
non-NCQ commands, and even complete starvation for these commands in the
worst case scenario.

Since the block layer and the SCSI layer do not distinguish between
queueable (NCQ) and non queueable (non-NCQ) commands, libata-scsi SAT
implementation must ensure forward progress for non-NCQ commands in the
presence of NCQ command traffic. This is similar to what SAS HBAs with a
hardware/firmware based SAT implementation do.

Implement such forward progress guarantee by limiting requeueing of
non-NCQ commands from ata_scsi_qc_issue(): when a non-NCQ command is
received and NCQ commands are in-flight, do not force a requeue of the
non-NCQ command by returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_XXX_BUSY and instead return 0
to indicate that the command was accepted but hold on to the qc using
the new deferred_qc field of struct ata_port.

This deferred qc will be issued using the work item deferred_qc_work
running the function ata_scsi_deferred_qc_work() once all in-flight
commands complete, which is checked with the port qc_defer() callback
return value indicating that no further delay is necessary. This check
is done using the helper function ata_scsi_schedule_deferred_qc() which
is called from ata_scsi_qc_complete(). This thus excludes this mechanism
from all internal non-NCQ commands issued by ATA EH.

When a port deferred_qc is non NULL, that is, the port has a command
waiting for the device queue to drain, the issuing of all incoming
commands (both NCQ and non-NCQ) is deferred using the regular busy
mechanism. This simplifies the code and also avoids potential denial of
service problems if a user issues too many non-NCQ commands.

Finally, whenever ata EH is scheduled, regardless of the reason, a
deferred qc is always requeued so that it can be retried once EH
completes. This is done by calling the function
ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() from ata_eh_set_pending(). This avoids
the need for any special processing for the deferred qc in case of NCQ
error, link or device reset, or device timeout.
