Description

Task tags are supported if the caller has set se_cmd->tag.

Returns non zero to signal active I/O shutdown failure. All other setup exceptions will be returned as a SCSI CHECK_CONDITION response, but still return zero here.

This may only be called from process context, and also currently assumes internal allocation of fabric payload buffer by target-core.

Note

Only call this function if target_submit_cmd*() failed.

Target-supported userspace I/O¶

Userspace I/O¶

Define a shared-memory interface for LIO to pass SCSI commands and data to userspace for processing. This is to allow backends that are too complex for in-kernel support to be possible.

It uses the UIO framework to do a lot of the device-creation and introspection work for us.

See the .h file for how the ring is laid out. Note that while the command ring is defined, the particulars of the data area are not. Offset values in the command entry point to other locations internal to the mmap-ed area. There is separate space outside the command ring for data buffers. This leaves maximum flexibility for moving buffer allocations, or even page flipping or other allocation techniques, without altering the command ring layout.

SECURITY: The user process must be assumed to be malicious. There's no way to prevent it breaking the command ring protocol if it wants, but in order to prevent other issues we must only ever read data from the shared memory area, not offsets or sizes. This applies to command ring entries as well as the mailbox. Extra code needed for this may have a 'UAM' comment.

Ring Design¶

The mmaped area is divided into three parts: 1) The mailbox (struct tcmu_mailbox, below); 2) The command ring; 3) Everything beyond the command ring (data).

The mailbox tells userspace the offset of the command ring from the start of the shared memory region, and how big the command ring is.

The kernel passes SCSI commands to userspace by putting a struct tcmu_cmd_entry in the ring, updating mailbox->cmd_head, and poking userspace via UIO's interrupt mechanism.

tcmu_cmd_entry contains a header. If the header type is PAD, userspace should skip hdr->length bytes (mod cmdr_size) to find the next cmd_entry.

Otherwise, the entry will contain offsets into the mmaped area that contain the cdb and data buffers -- the latter accessible via the iov array. iov addresses are also offsets into the shared area.

When userspace is completed handling the command, set entry->rsp.scsi_status, fill in rsp.sense_buffer if appropriate, and also set mailbox->cmd_tail equal to the old cmd_tail plus hdr->length, mod cmdr_size. If cmd_tail doesn't equal cmd_head, it should process the next packet the same way, and so on.

iSCSI helper functions¶

void iscsi_prep_data_out_pdu(struct iscsi_task * task, struct iscsi_r2t_info * r2t, struct iscsi_data * hdr)¶: initialize Data-Out

Parameters

struct iscsi_task * task: scsi command task
struct iscsi_r2t_info * r2t: R2T info
struct iscsi_data * hdr: iscsi data in pdu

Notes

Initialize Data-Out within this R2T sequence and finds proper data_offset within this SCSI command.

This function is called with connection lock taken.

void iscsi_complete_scsi_task(struct iscsi_task * task, uint32_t exp_cmdsn, uint32_t max_cmdsn)¶: finish scsi task normally

Parameters

struct iscsi_task * task: iscsi task for scsi cmd
uint32_t exp_cmdsn: expected cmd sn in cpu format
uint32_t max_cmdsn: max cmd sn in cpu format

Description

This is used when drivers do not need or cannot perform lower level pdu processing.

Called with session back_lock

struct iscsi_task * iscsi_itt_to_task(struct iscsi_conn * conn, itt_t itt)¶: look up task by itt

Parameters

struct iscsi_conn * conn: iscsi connection
itt_t itt: itt

Description

This should be used for mgmt tasks like login and nops, or if the LDD's itt space does not include the session age.

The session back_lock must be held.

int __iscsi_complete_pdu(struct iscsi_conn * conn, struct iscsi_hdr * hdr, char * data, int datalen)¶: complete pdu

Parameters

struct iscsi_conn * conn: iscsi conn
struct iscsi_hdr * hdr: iscsi header
char * data: data buffer
int datalen: len of data buffer

Description

Completes pdu processing by freeing any resources allocated at queuecommand or send generic. session back_lock must be held and verify itt must have been called.

struct iscsi_task * iscsi_itt_to_ctask(struct iscsi_conn * conn, itt_t itt)¶: look up ctask by itt

Parameters

struct iscsi_conn * conn: iscsi connection
itt_t itt: itt

Description

This should be used for cmd tasks.

The session back_lock must be held.

void iscsi_requeue_task(struct iscsi_task * task)¶: requeue task to run from session workqueue

Parameters

struct iscsi_task * task: task to requeue

Description

LLDs that need to run a task from the session workqueue should call this. The session frwd_lock must be held. This should only be called by software drivers.

void iscsi_suspend_queue(struct iscsi_conn * conn)¶: suspend iscsi_queuecommand

Parameters

struct iscsi_conn * conn: iscsi conn to stop queueing IO on

Description

This grabs the session frwd_lock to make sure no one is in xmit_task/queuecommand, and then sets suspend to prevent new commands from being queued. This only needs to be called by offload drivers that need to sync a path like ep disconnect with the iscsi_queuecommand/xmit_task. To start IO again libiscsi will call iscsi_start_tx and iscsi_unblock_session when in FFP.

void iscsi_suspend_tx(struct iscsi_conn * conn)¶: suspend iscsi_data_xmit

Parameters

struct iscsi_conn * conn: iscsi conn tp stop processing IO on.

Description

This function sets the suspend bit to prevent iscsi_data_xmit from sending new IO, and if work is queued on the xmit thread it will wait for it to be completed.

int iscsi_eh_session_reset(struct scsi_cmnd * sc)¶: drop session and attempt relogin

Parameters

struct scsi_cmnd * sc: scsi command

Description

This function will wait for a relogin, session termination from userspace, or a recovery/replacement timeout.

int iscsi_eh_recover_target(struct scsi_cmnd * sc)¶: reset target and possibly the session

Parameters

struct scsi_cmnd * sc: scsi command

Description

This will attempt to send a warm target reset. If that fails, we will escalate to ERL0 session recovery.

int iscsi_host_add(struct Scsi_Host * shost, struct device * pdev)¶: add host to system

Parameters

struct Scsi_Host * shost: scsi host
struct device * pdev: parent device

Description

int dd_data_size: driver host data size
bool xmit_can_sleep: bool indicating if LLD will queue IO from a work queue

Description

void iscsi_host_remove(struct Scsi_Host * shost)¶: remove host and sessions

Parameters

struct Scsi_Host * shost: scsi host

Description

If there are any sessions left, this will initiate the removal and wait for the completion.

Parameters

struct iscsi_cls_session * cls_session: iscsi session

Parameters

struct iscsi_tcp_conn * tcp_conn: iscsi connection to prep for

Description

This function always passes NULL for the hash argument, because when this function is called we do not yet know the final size of the header and want to delay the digest processing until we know that.

void iscsi_tcp_cleanup_task(struct iscsi_task * task)¶: free tcp_task resources

Parameters

struct iscsi_task * task: iscsi task
