<content type='text'>
Commit b76b840fd933 ("dm: Fix dm-zoned-reclaim zone write pointer
alignment") introduced an indirect call for the callback function of a
report zones executed with blkdev_report_zones(). This is necessary so
that the function disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() can be called to
refresh a zone write plug zone write pointer offset after a write error.
However, this solution makes following the path of a zone information
harder to understand.

Clean this up by introducing the new blk_report_zones_args structure to
define a zone report callback and its private data and introduce the
helper function disk_report_zone() which calls both
disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() and the zone report user callback
function for all zones of a zone report. This helper function must be
called by all block device drivers that implement the report zones
block operation in order to correctly report a zone information.

All block device drivers supporting the report_zones block operation are
updated to use this new scheme.

<title>scsi: sd: Atomic write support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4ae8f2e6407a779c0368eb0f3e047a8333be17</id>
<content type='text'>
Support is divided into two main areas:
- reading VPD pages and setting sdev request_queue limits
- support WRITE ATOMIC (16) command and tracing

The relevant block limits VPD page need to be read to allow the block layer
request_queue atomic write limits to be set. These VPD page limits are
described in sbc4r22 section 6.6.4 - Block limits VPD page.

There are five limits of interest:
- MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH
- ATOMIC ALIGNMENT
- ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY
- MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY
- MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE

MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is the maximum length for a WRITE ATOMIC
(16) command. It will not be greater than the device MAXIMUM TRANSFER
LENGTH.

ATOMIC ALIGNMENT and ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY are the minimum
alignment and length values for an atomic write in terms of logical blocks.

Unlike NVMe, SCSI does not specify an LBA space boundary, but does specify
a per-IO boundary granularity. The maximum boundary size is specified in
MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE. When used, this boundary value is set in the
WRITE ATOMIC (16) ATOMIC BOUNDARY field - layout for the WRITE_ATOMIC_16
command can be found in sbc4r22 section 5.48. This boundary value is the
granularity size at which the device may atomically write the data. A value
of zero in WRITE ATOMIC (16) ATOMIC BOUNDARY field means that all data must
be atomically written together.

MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY is the maximum atomic write
length if a non-zero boundary value is set.

For atomic write support, the WRITE ATOMIC (16) boundary is not of much
interest, as the block layer expects each request submitted to be executed
atomically. However, the SCSI spec does leave itself open to a quirky
scenario where MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is zero, yet MAXIMUM ATOMIC
TRANSFER LENGTH WITH BOUNDARY and MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE are both
non-zero. This case will be supported.

To set the block layer request_queue atomic write capabilities, sanitize
the VPD page limits and set limits as follows:
- atomic_write_unit_min is derived from granularity and alignment values.
  If no granularity value is not set, use physical block size
- atomic_write_unit_max is derived from MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH. In
  the scenario where MAXIMUM ATOMIC TRANSFER LENGTH is zero and boundary
  limits are non-zero, use MAXIMUM ATOMIC BOUNDARY SIZE for
  atomic_write_unit_max. New flag scsi_disk.use_atomic_write_boundary is
  set for this scenario.
- atomic_write_boundary_bytes is set to zero always

SCSI also supports a WRITE ATOMIC (32) command, which is for type 2
protection enabled. This is not going to be supported now, so check for
T10_PI_TYPE2_PROTECTION when setting any request_queue limits.

To handle an atomic write request, add support for WRITE ATOMIC (16)
command in handler sd_setup_atomic_cmnd(). Flag use_atomic_write_boundary
is checked here for encoding ATOMIC BOUNDARY field.

Trace info is also added for WRITE_ATOMIC_16 command.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 7437bb73f087 ("block: remove support for the host aware zone
model"), only ZBC devices expose a zoned access model.  sd_is_zoned is
used to check for that and thus return false for host aware devices.

Replace the helper with the simple open coded TYPE_ZBC check to fix this.

<title>block: move integrity information into queue_limits</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c6e56cf6b2e79a463af21286ba951714ed20828c</id>
<content type='text'>
Move the integrity information into the queue limits so that it can be
set atomically with other queue limits, and that the sysfs changes to
the read_verify and write_generate flags are properly synchronized.
This also allows to provide a more useful helper to stack the integrity
fields, although it still is separate from the main stacking function
as not all stackable devices want to inherit the integrity settings.
Even with that it greatly simplifies the code in md and dm.

Note that the integrity field is moved as-is into the queue limits.
While there are good arguments for removing the separate blk_integrity
structure, this would cause a lot of churn and might better be done at a
later time if desired.  However the integrity field in the queue_limits
structure is now unconditional so that various ifdefs can be avoided or
replaced with IS_ENABLED().  Given that tiny size of it that seems like
a worthwhile trade off.

Set the request queue of a TYPE_ZBC device as needing zone append
emulation by setting the device queue max_zone_append_sectors limit to
0. This enables the block layer generic implementation provided by zone
write plugging. With this, the sd driver will never see a
REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND request and the zone append emulation code
implemented in sd_zbc.c can be removed.

pass data lifetime information to SCSI devices in the group number field.
Add support for translating write hint information into a permanent stream
number in the sd driver. Use WRITE(10) instead of WRITE(6) if data lifetime
information is present because the WRITE(6) command does not have a GROUP
NUMBER field.

<title>scsi: sd: Do not issue commands to suspended disks on shutdown</title>

<content type='text'>
If an error occurs when resuming a host adapter before the devices
attached to the adapter are resumed, the adapter low level driver may
remove the scsi host, resulting in a call to sd_remove() for the
disks of the host. This in turn results in a call to sd_shutdown() which
will issue a synchronize cache command and a start stop unit command to
spindown the disk. sd_shutdown() issues the commands only if the device
is not already runtime suspended but does not check the power state for
system-wide suspend/resume. That is, the commands may be issued with the
device in a suspended state, which causes PM resume to hang, forcing a
reset of the machine to recover.

Fix this by tracking the suspended state of a disk by introducing the
suspended boolean field in the scsi_disk structure. This flag is set to
true when the disk is suspended is sd_suspend_common() and resumed with
sd_resume(). When suspended is true, sd_shutdown() is not executed from
sd_remove().

<id>urn:sha1:785538bfdd682c8e962341d585f9b88262a0475e</id>
<content type='text'>
Although commit 88f1669019bd ("scsi: sd: Rework asynchronous resume support")
eliminates a delay for some ATA disks after resume, it causes resume of ATA
disks to fail on other setups. See also:

 * "Resume process hangs for 5-6 seconds starting sometime in 5.16"
   (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215880).

 * Geert's regression report
   (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2207191125130.1006766@ramsan.of.borg/).

This is what I understand about this issue:

 * During resume, ata_port_pm_resume() starts the SCSI error handler.  This
   changes the SCSI host state into SHOST_RECOVERY and causes
   scsi_queue_rq() to return BLK_STS_RESOURCE.

 * sd_resume() calls sd_start_stop_device() for ATA devices. That function
   in turn calls sd_submit_start() which tries to submit a START STOP UNIT
   command. That command can only be submitted after the SCSI error handler
   has changed the SCSI host state back to SHOST_RUNNING.

 * The SCSI error handler runs on its own thread and calls
   schedule_work(&amp;(ap-&gt;scsi_rescan_task)). That causes
   ata_scsi_dev_rescan() to be called from the context of a kernel
   workqueue. That call hangs in blk_mq_get_tag(). I'm not sure why - maybe
   because all available tags have been allocated by sd_submit_start()
   calls (this is a guess).
