All requests arriving for processing after OFFLINE flag set are rejected

taskqueue_drain_all().
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

This is preparation for possibility to open/close media several times
per LUN life cycle. While there, rename variables to reduce confusion.
As additional bonus this allows to open read-only media, such as ZFS
snapshots.
Previously such LUNs were silently ignored. But while they indeed unable
to process most of SCSI commands, some, like RTPG, they still can.

The significant changes and bugs fixed here are:
1. Fixed a bug in the progress display code:
When the user's filename is too big, or his terminal width is too
small, the progress code could wind up using a negative number for
the length of the "stars" that it uses to indicate progress.
This negative value was assigned to an unsigned variable, resulting
in a very large positive value.
The result is that we wound up writing garbage from memory to the
user's terminal.
With an 80 column terminal, a file name length of more than 35
characters would generate this problem.
To address this, we now set a minimum progress bar length, and
truncate the user's file name as needed.
This has been tested with large filenames and small terminals, and
at least produces reasonable results. If the terminal is too
narrow, the progress display takes up an additional line with each
update, but this is more user friendly than writing garbage to the
tty.
2. SATA drives connected via a SATA controller didn't have SCSI Inquiry
data populated in struct cam_device. This meant that the code in
fw_get_vendor() in fwdownload.c would try to match a zero-length
vendor ID, and so return the first entry in the vendor table. (Which
used to be HITACHI.) Fixed by grabbing identify data, passing the
identify buffer into fw_get_vendor(), and matching against the model
name.
3. SATA drives connected via a SAS controller do have Inquiry data
populated. The table included a couple of entries -- "ATA ST" and
"ATA HDS", intended to handle Seagate and Hitachi SATA drives attached
via a SAS controller. SCSI to ATA translation layers use a vendor
ID of "ATA" (which is standard), and then the model name from the ATA
identify data as the SCSI product name when they are returning data on
SATA disks. The cam_strmatch code will match the first part of the
string (because the length it is given is the length of the vendor,
"ATA"), and return 0 (i.e. a match). So all SATA drives attached to
a SAS controller would be programmed using the Seagate method
(WRITE BUFFER mode 7) of SCSI firmware downloading.
4. Issue #2 above covered up a bug in fw_download_img() -- if the
maximum packet size in the vendor table was 0, it tried to default
to a packet size of 32K. But then it didn't actually succeed in
doing that, because it set the packet size to the value that was
in the vendor table (0). Now that we actually have ATA attached
drives fall use the VENDOR_ATA case, we need a reasonable default
packet size. So this is fixed to properly set the default packet size.
5. Add support for downloading firmware to IBM LTO drives, and add a
firmware file validation method to make sure that the firmware
file matches the drive type. IBM tape drives include a Load ID and
RU name in their vendor-specific VPD page 0x3. Those should match
the IDs in the header of the firmware file to insure that the
proper firmware file is loaded.
6. This also adds a new -q option to the camcontrol fwdownload
subcommand to suppress informational output. When -q is used in
combination with -y, the firmware upgrade will happen without
prompting and without output except if an error condition occurs.
7. Re-add support for printing out SCSI inquiry information when
asking the user to confirm that they want to download firmware, and
add printing of ATA Identify data if it is a SATA disk. This was
removed in r237281 when support for flashing ATA disks was added.
8. Add a new camcontrol(8) "opcodes" subcommand, and use the
underlying code to get recommended timeout values for drive
firmware downloads.
Many SCSI devices support the REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES
command, and some support the optional timeout descriptor that
specifies nominal and recommended timeouts for the commands
supported by the device.
The new camcontrol opcodes subcommand allows displaying all
opcodes supported by a drive, information about which fields
in a SCSI CDB are actually used by a given SCSI device, and the
nominal and recommended timeout values for each command.
Since firmware downloads can take a long time in some devices, and
the time varies greatly between different types of devices, take
advantage of the infrastructure used by the camcontrol opcodes
subcommand to determine the best timeout to use for the WRITE
BUFFER command in SCSI device firmware downloads.
If the device recommends a timeout, it is likely to be more
accurate than the default 50 second timeout used by the firmware
download code. If the user specifies a timeout, it will override
the default or device recommended timeout. If the device doesn't
support timeout descriptors, we fall back to the default.
9. Instead of downloading firmware to SATA drives behind a SAS controller
using WRITE BUFFER, use the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command to compose
an ATA DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command and it to the drive. The previous
version of this code attempted to send a SCSI WRITE BUFFER command to
SATA drives behind a SAS controller. Although that is part of the
SAT-3 spec, it doesn't work with the parameters used with LSI
controllers at least.
10.Add a new mechanism for making common ATA passthrough and
ATA-behind-SCSI passthrough commands.
The existing camcontrol(8) ATA command mechanism checks the device
type on every command executed. That works fine for individual
commands, but is cumbersome for things like a firmware download
that send a number of commands.
The fwdownload code detects the device type up front, and then
sends the appropriate commands.
11.In simulation mode (-s), if the user specifies the -v flag, print out
the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would be sent to the drive. This will
aid in debugging any firmware download issues.
sbin/camcontrol/fwdownload.c:
Add a device type to the fw_vendor structure, so that we can
specify different download methods for different devices from the
same vendor. In this case, IBM hard drives (from when they
still made hard drives) and tape drives.
Add a tur_status field to the fw_vendor structure so that we can
specify whether the drive to be upgraded should be ready, not
ready, or whether it doesn't matter. Add the corresponding
capability in fw_download_img().
Add comments describing each of the vendor table fields.
Add HGST and SmrtStor to the supported SCSI vendors list.
In fw_get_vendor(), look at ATA identify data if we have a SATA
device to try to identify what the drive vendor is.
Add IBM firmware file validation. This gets VPD page 0x3, and
compares the Load ID and RU name in the page to the values
included in the header. The validation code will refuse to load
a firmware file if the values don't match. This does allow the
user to attempt a downgrade; whether or not it succeeds will
likely depend on the drive settings.
Add a -q option, and disable all informative output
(progress bars, etc.) when this is enabled.
Re-add the inquiry in the confirmation dialog so the user has
a better idea of which device he is talking to. Add support for
displaying ATA identify data.
Don't automatically disable confirmation in simulation (-s) mode.
This allows the user to see the inquiry or identify data in the
dialog, and see exactly what they would see when the command
actually runs. Also, in simulation mode, if the user specifies
the -v flag, print out the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would
be sent to the drive. This will aid in debugging any firmware
download issues.
Add a timeout field and timeout type to the firmware download
vendor table. This allows specifying a default timeout and allows
specifying whether we should attempt to probe for a recommended
timeout from the drive.
Add a new fuction, fw_get_timeout(), that will determine
which timeout to use for the WRITE BUFFER command. If the
user specifies a timeout, we always use that. Otherwise,
we will use the drive recommended timeout, if available,
and fall back to the default when a drive recommended
timeout isn't available.
When we prompt the user, tell him what timeout we're going
to use, and the source of the timeout.
Revamp the way SATA devices are handled.
In fwdownload(), use the new get_device_type() function to
determine what kind of device we're talking to.
Allow firmware downloads to any SATA device, but restrict
SCSI downloads to known devices. (The latter is not a
change in behavior.)
Break out the "ready" check from fw_download_img() into a
new subfunction, fw_check_device_ready(). This sends the
appropriate command to the device in question -- a TEST
UNIT READY or an IDENTIFY. The IDENTIFY for SATA devices
a SAT layer is done using the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH
command.
Use the new build_ata_cmd() function to build either a SCSI or
ATA I/O CCB to issue the DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command to SATA
devices. build_ata_cmd() figures looks at the devtype argument
and fills in the correct CCB type and CDB or ATA registers.
Revamp the vendor table to remove the previous
vendor-specific ATA entries and use a generic ATA vendor
placeholder. We currently use the same method for all ATA
drives, although we may have to add vendor-specific
behavior once we test this with more drives.
sbin/camcontrol/progress.c:
In progress_draw(), make barlength a signed value so that
we can easily detect a negative value.
If barlength (the length of the progress bar) would wind up
negative due to a small TTY width or a large filename,
set the bar length to the new minimum (10 stars) and
truncate the user's filename. We will truncate it down to
0 characters if necessary.
Calculate a new prefix_len variable (user's filename length)
and use it as the precision when printing the filename.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Implement a new camcontrol(8) subcommand, "opcodes". The
opcodes subcommand allows displaying the entire list of
SCSI commands supported by a device, or details on an
individual command. In either case, it can display
nominal and recommended timeout values.
Add the scsiopcodes() function, which calls the new
scsigetopcodes() function to fetch opcode data from a
drive.
Add two new functions, scsiprintoneopcode() and
scsiprintopcodes(), which print information about one
opcode or all opcodes, respectively.
Remove the get_disk_type() function. It is no longer used.
Add a new function, dev_has_vpd_page(), that fetches the
supported INQUIRY VPD list from a device and tells the
caller whether the requested VPD page is available.
Add a new function, get_device_type(), that returns a more
precise device type than the old get_disk_type() function.
The get_disk_type() function only distinguished between
SCSI and ATA devices, and SATA devices behind a SCSI to ATA
translation layer were considered to be "SCSI".
get_device_type() offers a third type, CC_DT_ATA_BEHIND_SCSI.
We need to know this to know whether to attempt to send ATA
passthrough commands. If the device has the ATA
Information VPD page (0x89), then it is an ATA device
behind a SCSI to ATA translation layer.
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.
Add a new function, build_ata_cmd(), that will take one set
of common arguments and build either a SCSI or ATA I/O CCB,
depending on the device type passed in.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Add a prototype for scsigetopcodes().
Add a new enumeration, camcontrol_devtype.
Add prototypes for dev_has_vpd_page(), get_device_type()
and build_ata_cmd().
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.8
Explain that the fwdownload subcommand will use the drive
recommended timeout if available, and that the user can
override the timeout.
Document the new opcodes subcommand.
Explain that we will attempt to download firmware to any

Explain the commands used to download firmware for the
three different drive and controller combinations.
Document that the -v flag in simulation mode for the fwdownload
subcommand will print out the SCSI CDBs or ATA registers that would
be used.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add new bit definitions for the one opcode descriptor for
the REPORT SUPPORTED OPCODES command.
Add a function prototype for scsi_report_supported_opcodes().
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:

Before this change SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands were executed exclusively,
as if they had ORDERED tag. But looking through SCSI specs I've found
no any reason to be so strict. For reads this ordering seems pointless.
For writes it looks less obvious, so I left ordering against preceeding
write commands, while following ones are no longer required to wait.

During vMotion and Clone VMware by default runs multiple sequential 4MB
XCOPY requests same time. If CTL issues reads sequentially in 1MB chunks
for each XCOPY command, reads from different commands are not detected
as sequential by serseq option code and allowed to execute simultaneously.
Such read pattern confused ZFS prefetcher, causing suboptimal disk access.
Issuing all reads same time make serseq code work properly, serializing
reads both within each XCOPY command and between them.
My tests with ZFS pool of 14 disks in RAID10 shows prefetcher efficiency
improved from 37% to 99.7%, copying speed improved by 10-60%, average
read latency reduced twice on HDD layer and by five times on zvol layer.

- Use pointer assignment rather than a combination of pointers and
flags to switch buffers between unmapped and mapped. This eliminates
multiple flags and generally simplifies the logic.
- Eliminate b_saveaddr since it is only used with pager bufs which have
their b_data re-initialized on each allocation.
- Gather up some convenience routines in the buffer cache for

To avoid conflicts between target and initiator devices in CAM, make
CTL use target ID reported by HBA as its initiator_id in XPT_PATH_INQ.
That target ID is known to never be used for initiator role, so it won't
conflict. For Fibre Channel and FireWire HBAs this specific ID choice
is irrelevant since all target IDs there are virtual. Same time for SPI
HBAs it seems could be even requirement to use same target ID for both
initiator and target roles.
While there are some more things to polish in isp(4) driver, first tests
of using both roles same time on the same port appeared successfull:
# camcontrol devlist -v

<> at scbus0 target 256 lun 0 (ctl0)
<> at scbus0 target -1 lun ffffffff (ctl1)
- remove last remnants of never implemented multiple targets support;
- implement missing support for LUN mapping in this area.
Due to existing locking constraints LUN mapping code is practically
unlocked at this point. Hopefully it is not racy enough to live until
somebody get idea how to call sleeping fronend methods under lock also
taken by the same frontend in non-sleepable context. :(

This also changes subr_prf.c so that it can be compiled in
userland for includsion in libsbuf.
We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.
We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently

currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.
sys/sys/sbuf.h:
Add the prototype for sbuf_hexdump(), and add another copy
of the hexdump flag values if they aren't already defined.
Ideally the flags should be defined in one place but the
