After FreeBSD SVN revision 236814, the pass(4) driver changed from
only doing error recovery when the CAM_PASS_ERR_RECOVER flag was
set on a CCB to sometimes doing error recovery if the passed in
retry count was non-zero.
Error recovery would happen if two conditions were met:
1. The error recovery action was simply a retry. (Which is most
cases.)
2. The retry_count is non-zero. (Which happened a lot because of
cut-and-pasted code.)
This explains a bug I noticed in with camcontrol:
# camcontrol tur da34 -v
Unit is ready
# camcontrol reset da34
Reset of 1:172:0 was successful
At this point, there should be a Unit Attention:
# camcontrol tur da34 -v
Unit is ready
No Unit Attention.
Try it again:
# camcontrol reset da34
Reset of 1:172:0 was successful
Now set the retry_count to 0 for the TUR:
# camcontrol tur da34 -v -C 0
Unit is not ready
(pass42:mps1:0:172:0): TEST UNIT READY. CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00
(pass42:mps1:0:172:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(pass42:mps1:0:172:0): SCSI status: Check Condition
(pass42:mps1:0:172:0): SCSI sense: UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,2 (SCSI bus reset occurred)
(pass42:mps1:0:172:0): Field Replaceable Unit: 2
There is the unit attention. camcontrol(8) has a default
retry_count of 1, in case someone sets the -E flag without
setting -C.
The CAM_PASS_ERR_RECOVER behavior was only broken with the
CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl, which is the synchronous pass(4) API. It has
worked as intended (error recovery is only done when the flag
is set) in the asynchronous API (CAMIOQUEUE ioctl).
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.c:
In passsendccb(), when calling cam_periph_runccb(), only
specify the error routine when CAM_PASS_ERR_RECOVER is set.
share/man/man4/pass.4:
Document that CAM_PASS_ERR_RECOVER is needed to enable
error recovery.
