Apologies for the delay. I unfortunately can't provide any useful details. We had a brief internal discussion about whether the Solaris or Linux driver was technically correct per SCSI spec (I'm not sure we came to a conclusion). In any case, we ultimately decided it didn't matter because we cannot tolerate a Linux regression, and therefore Solaris should change to behave like Linux. Thanks/regards, -Mark

We'll try to figure out what goes wrong in Linux, but if we can't we should merge this before the next release. Thanks, Stefano
CCing `./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c`, since I found a few things in the virtio-scsi driver... FYI we have seen that Linux has problems with a QEMU patch for the virtio-scsi device (details at the bottom of this email in the revert commit message and BZ). This is what I found when I looked at the Linux code: In scsi_report_sense() in linux/drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c linux calls scsi_report_lun_change() that set `sdev_target->expecting_lun_change = 1` when we receive a UNIT ATTENTION with REPORT LUNS CHANGED (sshdr->asc == 0x3f && sshdr->ascq == 0x0e). When `sdev_target->expecting_lun_change = 1` is set and we call scsi_check_sense(), for example to check the next UNIT ATTENTION, it will return NEEDS_RETRY, that I think will cause the issues we are seeing. `sdev_target->expecting_lun_change` is reset only in scsi_decide_disposition() when `REPORT_LUNS` command returns with SAM_STAT_GOOD. That command is issued in scsi_report_lun_scan() called by __scsi_scan_target(), called for example by scsi_scan_target(), scsi_scan_host(), etc. So, checking QEMU, we send VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_RESCAN during hotplug and VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED during hotunplug. In both cases now we send also the UNIT ATTENTION. In the virtio-scsi driver, when we receive VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_RESCAN (hotplug) we call scsi_scan_target() or scsi_add_device(). Both of them will call __scsi_scan_target() at some points, sending `REPORT_LUNS` command to the device. This does not happen for VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED (hotunplug). Indeed if I remove the UNIT ATTENTION from the hotunplug in QEMU, everything works well. So, I tried to add a scan also for VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED: diff --git a/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c b/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c index bd5633667d01..c57658a63097 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c @@ -291,6 +291,7 @@ static void virtscsi_handle_transport_reset(struct virtio_scsi *vscsi, } break; case VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED: + scsi_scan_host(shost); sdev = scsi_device_lookup(shost, 0, target, lun); if (sdev) { scsi_remove_device(sdev); This somehow helps, now linux only breaks if the plug/unplug frequency is really high. If I put a 5 second sleep between plug/unplug events, it doesn't break (at least for the duration of my test which has been running for about 30 minutes, before it used to break after about a minute). Another thing I noticed is that in QEMU maybe we should set the UNIT ATTENTION first and then send the event on the virtqueue, because the scan should happen after the unit attention, but I don't know if in any case the unit attention is processed before the virtqueue. I mean something like this: diff --git a/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c b/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c index 45b95ea070..13db40f4f3 100644 --- a/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c +++ b/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c @@ -1079,8 +1079,8 @@ static void virtio_scsi_hotplug(HotplugHandler *hotplug_dev, DeviceState *dev, }; virtio_scsi_acquire(s); - virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); scsi_bus_set_ua(&s->bus, SENSE_CODE(REPORTED_LUNS_CHANGED)); + virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); virtio_scsi_release(s); } } @@ -1111,8 +1111,8 @@ static void virtio_scsi_hotunplug(HotplugHandler *hotplug_dev, DeviceState *dev, if (virtio_vdev_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG)) { virtio_scsi_acquire(s); - virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); scsi_bus_set_ua(&s->bus, SENSE_CODE(REPORTED_LUNS_CHANGED)); + virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); virtio_scsi_release(s); } } At this point I think the problem is on the handling of the VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED event in the virtio-scsi driver, where somehow we have to redo the bus scan, but scsi_scan_host() doesn't seem to be enough when the event rate is very high. I don't know if along with this fix, we also need to limit the rate in QEMU somehow. Sorry for the length of this email, but I'm not familiar with SCSI and wanted some suggestions on how to proceed. Paolo, Stefan, Linux SCSI maintainers, any suggestion?

It's up to the guest whether the event virtqueue or the UNIT ATTENTION will be processed first. If the device wants to ensure ordering then it must withhold the event until the driver has responded to the UNIT ATTENTION. That may not be a good idea though.

I don't know the Linux SCSI code well enough to say, sorry. I think we need input from someone familiar with the code. However, QEMU is not at liberty to make changes that break existing guests. So even if it turns out the specs allow something or there is an existing bug in virtio_scsi.ko, we still can't break existing guests.

What was the issue you are seeing? Was it something like you get the UA. We retry then on one of the retries the sense is not setup correctly, so the scsi error handler runs? That fails and the device goes offline? If you turn on scsi debugging you would see: [ 335.445922] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#15 Add.

How is locking done? when it is a bus level UA but there are multiple devices on the bus? Is it possible, devA is clearing the sense on devB. For example, thread1 for devA is doing scsi_clear_unit_attention but then thread2 for devB has seen that bus->unit_attention so it set req ops to reqops_unit_attention. But when we run reqops_unit_attention.send_command scsi_unit_attention does not see req->bus->unit_attention set anymore so we get a CC with no sense. If the linux kernel scsi layer sees a CC with no sense then we fire the SCSI error handler like seen above in the logs.

No locking should be necessary, the code is single threaded. However, what can happen is that two consecutive calls to virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_req_prepare use the unit attention ReqOps, and then the second virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_req_submit finds no unit attention (see the loop in virtio_scsi_handle_cmd_vq). That can definitely explain the log above. Paolo

There are multiple possibilities: 1) it's a QEMU bug that can be fixed, so no need to revert. 2) there's both a QEMU and a Linux bug, but fixing the QEMU side is enough to hide the Linux bug. The Linux bug can be fixed leisurely. 3) it's a Linux bug that is hard to fix, so we need to revert 4) it's a Linux bug that is worth fixing, but depending on how easy it is to trigger the issue we may or may not need to revert But yeah, reverting is on the table.

I think the root cause is in the Linux driver and SCSI subsystem. When the SCSI code receive an UA with REPORTED LUN CHANGED, it seems it expects that `REPORT_LUNS` command is issued (I tried to describe it in the first part). The problem is that the SCSI stack does not send this command, so we should do it in the driver. In fact we do it for VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_RESCAN (hotplug), but not for VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED (hotunplug). I think that's where the problem is, but I don't know if that's what the specification expects, I haven't found much information on that :-( > >> At this point I think the problem is on the handling of the >> VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED event in the virtio-scsi driver, where >> somehow we have to redo the bus scan, but scsi_scan_host() doesn't seem >> to be enough when the event rate is very high. > >Why is it necessary to rescan the whole bus instead of removing just >the device that has been unplugged?

On the Linux side, one change we might do is to remove the printk for adapters that do process hotplug/hotunplug, using a new flag in scsi_host_template. There are several callers of scsi_add_device() and scsi_remove_device() in adapter code, so at least these should not issue the printk: drivers/scsi/aacraid/commsup.c drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c drivers/scsi/esas2r/esas2r_main.c drivers/scsi/hpsa.c drivers/scsi/ipr.c drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c drivers/scsi/mvumi.c drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c drivers/scsi/smartpqi/smartpqi_init.c drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c drivers/scsi/vmw_pvscsi.c drivers/scsi/xen-scsifront.c Paolo > Another thing I noticed is that in QEMU maybe we should set the UNIT > ATTENTION first and then send the event on the virtqueue, because the > scan should happen after the unit attention, but I don't know if in any > case the unit attention is processed before the virtqueue. > > I mean something like this: > > diff --git a/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c b/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c > index 45b95ea070..13db40f4f3 100644 > --- a/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c > +++ b/hw/scsi/virtio-scsi.c > @@ -1079,8 +1079,8 @@ static void virtio_scsi_hotplug(HotplugHandler > *hotplug_dev, DeviceState *dev, > }; > > virtio_scsi_acquire(s); > - virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); > scsi_bus_set_ua(&s->bus, SENSE_CODE(REPORTED_LUNS_CHANGED)); > + virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); > virtio_scsi_release(s); > } > } > @@ -1111,8 +1111,8 @@ static void virtio_scsi_hotunplug(HotplugHandler > *hotplug_dev, DeviceState *dev, > > if (virtio_vdev_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_SCSI_F_HOTPLUG)) { > virtio_scsi_acquire(s); > - virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); > scsi_bus_set_ua(&s->bus, SENSE_CODE(REPORTED_LUNS_CHANGED)); > + virtio_scsi_push_event(s, &info); > virtio_scsi_release(s); > } > } > > At this point I think the problem is on the handling of the > VIRTIO_SCSI_EVT_RESET_REMOVED event in the virtio-scsi driver, where > somehow we have to redo the bus scan, but scsi_scan_host() doesn't seem > to be enough when the event rate is very high. > > I don't know if along with this fix, we also need to limit the rate in > QEMU somehow. > > Sorry for the length of this email, but I'm not familiar with SCSI and > wanted some suggestions on how to proceed. > > Paolo, Stefan, Linux SCSI maintainers, any suggestion? > > > Thanks, > Stefano > > On Wed, Jul 05, 2023 at 09:15:23AM +0200, Stefano Garzarella wrote: >> This reverts commit 8cc5583abe6419e7faaebc9fbd109f34f4c850f2. >> >> That commit causes several problems in Linux as described in the BZ. >> In particular, after a while, other devices on the bus are no longer >> usable even if those devices are not affected by the hotunplug. >> This may be a problem in Linux, but we have not been able to identify >> it so far.

The fact that virtio-scsi even tries to do some of its own LUN scanning is problematic and should have never happened.

However, for hot-plug the spec says that a hotplug event for LUN 0 represents the addition of an entire target, so why is it incorrect to start a REPORT LUNS scan if the host doesn't tell you the exact LUN(s) that have been added? There is a similar case in mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c, though it's only scanning for newly added devices after a controller reset. Paolo

We found the issue and fixed it in this release with commit 9472083e64 ("scsi: fetch unit attention when creating the request"). So we don't need to revert it anymore. Thanks, Stefano

This reverts commit 8cc5583abe6419e7faaebc9fbd109f34f4c850f2. That commit causes several problems in Linux as described in the BZ. In particular, after a while, other devices on the bus are no longer usable even if those devices are not affected by the hotunplug. This may be a problem in Linux, but we have not been able to identify it so far. So better to revert this patch until we find a solution.
