It was an oops in sgl_unmap_user_pages(). The reason is this:

/* XXX: just for debug. Remove when PageReserved is removed */
BUG_ON(PageReserved(page));

I was using /dev/zero as input and it triggers this. When I used a file as
input, this did not trigger. Should this BUG_ON be removed?

In the same log I noticed that there was another ->sg_segs inconsistency.
Also, the field ->last_SRpnt was not reset when scsi_execute_async()
failed. This caused the error message "Async command already active"
later and prevented proper close.

While doing the changes, I noticed that the current code (since
2.6.0-test4) does not set the pages dirty when reading with direct i/o.

All of these st problems (including the one I sent earlier) are fixed in
the patch at the end of this message. These fixes should probably be
included already in 2.6.15.

After these fixes, the tape seems to operate as expected. Without other
changes, the largest block size with sym53c896 SCSI adapter is 384 kB. The
maximum number of sg segments is set to 96 and clustering is disabled in
the driver. 96 x 4 kB = 384 kB. OK.

I enabled clustering and set max_sectors to 10000 in the SCSI HBA driver.
Now the block size limit is 5000 kB as expected.

SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.

Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of

James.Smart@Emulex.Com [Tue, 29 Nov 2005 21:32:13 +0000 (16:32 -0500)]
[SCSI] lpfc 8.1.1 : Add polled-mode support

- Add functionality to run in polled mode only. Includes run time
  attribute to enable mode.
- Enable runtime writable hba settings for coallescing and delay parameters

Customers have requested a mode in the driver to run strictly polled.
This is generally to support an environment where the server is extremely
loaded and is looking to reclaim some cpu cycles from adapter interrupt
handling.

This patch adds a new "poll" attribute, and the following behavior:

if value is 0 (default):
  The driver uses the normal method for i/o completion. It uses the
  firmware feature of interrupt coalesing. The firmware allows a
  minimum number of i/o completions before an interrupt, or a maximum
  time delay between interrupts.  By default, the driver sets these
  to no delay (disabled) or 1 i/o - meaning coalescing is disabled.

  Attributes were provided to change the coalescing values, but it was
  a module-load time only and global across all adapters.
  This patch allows them to be writable on a per-adapter basis.

if value is 1 :
  Interrupts are left enabled, expecting that the user has tuned the
  interrupt coalescing values. When this setting is enabled, the driver
  will attempt to service completed i/o whenever new i/o is submitted
  to the adapter. If the coalescing values are large, and the i/o
  generation rate steady, an interrupt will be avoided by servicing
  completed i/o prior to the coalescing thresholds kicking in. However,
  if the i/o completion load is high enough or i/o generation slow, the
  coalescion values will ensure that completed i/o is serviced in a timely
  fashion.

if value is 3 :
  Turns off FCP i/o interrupts altogether. The coalescing values now have
  no effect. A new attribute "poll_tmo" (default 10ms) exists to set
  the polling interval for i/o completion. When this setting is enabled,
  the driver will attempt to service completed i/o and restart the
  interval timer whenever new i/o is submitted. This behavior allows for
  servicing of completed i/o sooner than the interval timer, but ensures
  that if no i/o is being issued, then the interval timer will kick in
  to service the outstanding i/o.
