The function ata_get_identity() uses the helper ata_scsi_find_dev() to get
the ata_device structure of a scsi device. However, when the ata device is
managed by libsas, ata_scsi_find_dev() returns NULL, turning
ata_get_identity() into a nop and always returns -ENOMSG.
Fix this by checking whether ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST is set for ap->flags in
ata_scsi_find_dev(), as the flag is only used in libsas. If
ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST is set, use sas_to_ata_dev() to find associated ATA
device.

What do you do to hit the issue ? A while back for me it was the queue depth
setting causing problems. As Garry mentioned, this led to patch 141f3d6256e5
("ata: libata-sata: Fix device queue depth control").

Do you really need the ddev variable ? Also, this really should be a libsas
helper. I beleive this pattern is repeated in several places in libsas, so that
would nicely clean things up.

Attempt to return the correct value at ata_scsi_find_dev() instead of
NULL, when the ata device is managed by libsas?

If we use sdev_to_domain_dev(), there will be a compilation warning. But
we can replace with scsidev->sdev_target->hostdata.

As above, we can replace with scsidev->sdev_target->hostdata.

Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Is there any other way? If so, is

No, because of previous reason.
Please remind me - at what point do we error within ata_scsi_find_dev()
and return NULL for a libsas host?
Note: it would be good to include that commit message for future reference.
Maybe we could add a method to ata_port_operations to do this lookup. I
assume that is abusing ata_port_operations purpose, since it's mostly
for HW methods.
Or do we actually use sdev->hostdata for libata or libsas? If not, maybe
we could store the struct ata_device pointer there.
I'm just thinking out loud now...
Thanks,
John

Hi Xingui,
Libsas should follow the standard way of libata to manage the ata
structures. Not the opposite way. So what you should do is to find a way
for libsas to behave as a normal ata driver. It's not good to make
libata aware of libsas or referencing libsas.
If you have detailed questions you can ask me internally(which will be
faster) or publicly through the maillist(which may have some delay).
Thanks,
Jason

The scsi_host_template filled by libsas and call ata_scsi_find_dev() has
this problem. After sas_change_queue_depth() is fixed, only sas_ioctl()
has this problem now.

Well, it might be a way.

That I understand. My question is *what* user operation/command triggers this ?
Because on my test setup, under normal use, I do not see this issue (beside what
was already corrected with the queue depth control). Is the issue showing up
when using passthrough commands only ?

ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST is now only used by libsas. So we should rename this flag to
ATA_FLAG_LIBSAS_HOST to be clear about it. And looking at how the flag is used
(in only 2 places), I wonder if we could get rid of it entirely...
With the ipr driver gone, there is a lot of cleanup in libata that can be done,
especially around EH code. Will be working on that.

Agree. Ideally, libasas should not be any different than a for a drive used with
ahci/sata/pata adapters. After all, all of them are scsi devices as well. So we
need to understand why this happens only with libsas and correct the device
setup there.

Yeah, we found that command "hdparm -i /dev/sdc" always return faild for
SATA HDD disk. as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# hdparm -i /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc:
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument
trace log：
execve("/usr/sbin/hdparm", ["hdparm", "-i", "/dev/sdc"], 0xffffea26f620
/* 42 vars */) = 0
ioctl(3, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, 0xffffeb435f28) = -1 ENOMSG (No message of
desired type)

I cannot recreate this issue exactly like this. Here is my setup with a pm80xx
driver (Adaptec HBA):
[7:0:0:0] disk ATA WDC WUH721818AL W232 /dev/sdd /dev/sg5
[7:0:1:0] disk ATA WDC WUH721818AL WTW2 /dev/sdi /dev/sg6
[7:0:2:0] disk ATA WDC WUH722222AL Wf86 /dev/sdf /dev/sg7
[7:0:3:0] zbc ATA WDC WSH722020AL W803 /dev/sdg /dev/sg8
Using the first drive, I get:
sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdd
/dev/sdd:
Model=WDC WUH721818ALN604, FwRev=PCGNW232, SerialNo=3KG10LBK

CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=4394582016
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}

So all good. However, for the following drives, I get:
sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdi
/dev/sdi:
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: No message of desired type
(same for sdf and sdg).
Will dig into this.

OK, so the issue is that __ata_scsi_find_dev() calls ata_find_dev() with devno
== scsidev->id. This leads to devno being 0, 1, 2 and 3 for connected drives
sdd, sd1, sdf and sdg, as shown by lsscsi. However, each drive has its own
port+link, with the link for each one having ata_link_max_devices() == 1, so
ata_find_dev() works only for the first drive with scsidev->id == 0 and fails
for the others. A naive fix would be this:
diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c
index 7bb12deab70c..e4d6f17d7ccc 100644
--- a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c

} else {

And running this on my setup, it works. This makes libsas added ports/devices
look like AHCI ones, where all devices have ID 0 for the !pmp case.
However, I am not sure this would be OK for all setups...
John,
Any idea if there is any cases where libsas managed drives would endup not being
correctly identified by this change ? As long as a device always has its own
port, I do not see any issue. But is there a case where we could have multiple
devices on the same port ? Per libata, max is 2, and that is only for the IDE
master/slave case. Otherwise, it is always 1.
Not that looking at the pmp case, I am not confident at all that the
identification is correct for libsas. But I do not think that anyone would ever
connect a pmp box to a libsas HBA...

AFAIK, libsas does not support multiple devices on the same port. So
this change is ok for libsas.

libsas's does not support pmp either, and I do not see any future plans
to support pmp.
So the above change (needs a ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST check) looks good to me.
It's better to make libsas behave as other ata drivers so that we can
drop the ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST check. But this need tons of work for libsas.

Yes, for libsas it is OK. But as is, it will break master+slave IDE setups... So
the fix needs to be finer than this.

Good. Dealing with that one is always painful.

Yes, this flag check is needed to avoid breaking IDE/pata.

Yes, getting rid of this special casing with this flag would be really nice. It
should not be needed. I will try to write a proper fix not using it for now, to
facilitate removing the flag later.

This numbering comes from sas_rphy_add():
...
if (identify->device_type == SAS_END_DEVICE &&
(identify->target_port_protocols &
(SAS_PROTOCOL_SSP | SAS_PROTOCOL_STP | SAS_PROTOCOL_SATA)))
rphy->scsi_target_id = sas_host->next_target_id++;
..
scsi_scan_target(&rphy->dev, 0, rphy->scsi_target_id, lun,
SCSI_SCAN_INITIAL);
}
So libata and scsi_transport_sas just use different sdev id numbering
schemes for host scan.

Would this pattern work:
ata_for_each_dev(ata_dev, link, ALL) {
if (ata_dev->sdev == sdev)
return ata_dev;
}
If not, I think it's ok to have devno = 0 assignment under SAS_HOST
flag, even though it's far from ideal. Not both of these are not
preferred, then, as I mentioned before, some per-port callback to do the
conversion.
