Currently the backoff algorithm for when to retry alua rtpg
requests progresses geometrically as so:
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64... seconds.
This progression can lead to un-needed delay in retrying
alua rtpg requests when the rtpgs are delayed. A less
aggressive backoff algorithm that is additive would not
lead to such large jumps when delays start getting long, but
would backoff linearly:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10... seconds.

Some storage arrays are known to return 'illegal request'
when an rtpg extended header request is made. T10 says the
array should ignore the bit, and return the non-extended
rtpg as the array doesn't support the request. Working
around this by retrying the rtpg request without the extended
header bit set when the extended rtpg request results in
illegal request.

During alua transitions, an array can return transitioning
status in response to rtpg requests. These requests get
retried for a maximum of 60 seconds by default before timing
out. Sometimes this timeout isn't sufficient to allow the
array to complete the transition. T10-spc4 addresses this
under 'Report Target Port Groups' command.
This update retrieves the timeout value from the storage
array if available and retries the transitioning rtpgs
for up to the 'implied transitioning timeout' value

This patch optimizes the set target port group(STPG) command. During our
testing, we found that it is not optimal to send stpg command every time
the path group switch happens. This patch uses PREF (preferred target port)
bit with combination of flags passed by multipath user level tool to
optimize this behaviour. If PREF bit is set then it issues a STPG command,
otherwise it will let implicit transfer take place.
By default there is no change in the behaviour. User tool needs to pass the
parameter to make this change take effect. Patch has been tested on NetApp
E series storage.

in the /var/log/messages:
"alua: port group 3ea state A supports tousna"
"alua: port group 3e9 state A supports tousna"

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.
