Title:
[SRU] fnic driver on needs to be updated to 1.6.0.53 on Focal
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Focal:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[Impact]
fNIC driver controls print messages based on the flag fnic_log_level.
shost_printk is not controlled via this flag. This issue is resolved by using
some of the print macros that have been defined in fnic. This has negligible
impact.
The resid was being set irrespective of whether we saw an underflow or not.
It needs to be set only when we see an underflow. The impact here is negligible.
When we don't receive link events, we could go into a loop before sending fw
reset. The patch for the issue resolves this, and we break out of the loop.
Prior to checking the remote port, fnic driver must check if the io_req is
valid. If not, there could be a crash. The patch resolves this issue.
[Fix]
The following patches need to be pulled from upstream to update the fnic
driver to 1.6.0.53:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160591061813369&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592183315837&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592283315997&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592363016122&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592616516616&w=2
Here's a description of each issue:
1. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160591061813369&w=2
FNIC_FCS_DBG print is controlled by fnic_log_level flag. Replace
shost_printk in fnic_fip_handler_timer with this print so that it can
be controlled.
2. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592183315837&w=2
When fnic is in TRANS ETH state, and when there are no link events, we
must not loop before sending fw reset.
3. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592283315997&w=2
FNIC_MAIN_DBG print is controlled by fnic_log_level flag. Replace
shost_printk in fnic_handle_link with this print so that it can be
controlled.
4. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592363016122&w=2
Fix to set scsi_set_resid() only if FCPIO_ICMND_CMPL_RESID_UNDER is
set.
5. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160592616516616&w=2
Check for a valid io_req before we check other data.
[Test Plan]
Runnings IOs with multiple link flaps would be a good test case to
validate all the patches above. It is suggested to run these IOs with
a data integrity check. We do this as a standard practice.
[Where problems could occur]
The print messages are innocuous. It is not expected to run into any issues.
Problems could occur with storage arrays that have a non-standard response.
If the sanity test fails, there could be issues in the scsi midlayer or fnic
driver.
All the patches present low regression risk.
