Because of the rudimentary design of the chip, it is necessary to poll the
SCSI bus signals during PIO and this tends to hog the CPU. The driver will
accept new commands while others execute, and this causes a soft lockup
because the workqueue item will not terminate until the issue queue is
emptied.
When exercising dmx3191d using sequential IO from dd, the driver is sent
512 KiB WRITE commands and 128 KiB READs. For a PIO transfer, the rate is
is only about 300 KiB/s, so these are long-running commands. And although
PDMA may run at several MiB/s, interrupts are disabled for the duration
of the transfer.
Fix the unresponsiveness and soft lockup issues by calling cond_resched()
after each command is completed and by limiting max_sectors for drivers
that don't implement real DMA.

During arbitration and selection, the relevant command is invisible to
exception handlers and can be found only in a pointer on the stack of a
different thread.
When eh_abort_handler can't find a given command, it can't decide whether
that command was completed already or is still in arbitration or selection
phase. But it must return either SUCCESS (e.g. command completed earlier)
or FAILED (could not abort the nexus, try bus reset).
The solution is to make sure all commands belonging to the LLD are always
visible to exception handlers. Add another scsi_cmnd pointer to the
hostdata struct to track the command in arbitration or selection phase.
Replace 'retain_dma_irq' with the new 'selecting' pointer, to bring

NCR5380_information_transfer() may re-queue a command for autosense,
after calling scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(). This creates several possibilities:
1. Reselection may intervene before the re-queued command gets processed.
If the reconnected command then undergoes autosense, this causes the
scsi_eh_save data from the previous command to be overwritten.
2. After NCR5380_information_transfer() calls scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(),
a new REQUEST SENSE command may arrive. This would be queued ahead
of any command already undergoing autosense, which means the
scsi_eh_save data might be restored to the wrong command.
3. After NCR5380_information_transfer() calls scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(),
eh_abort_handler() may abort the command. But the scsi_eh_save data is
not discarded, which means the scsi_eh_save data might be incorrectly
restored to the next REQUEST SENSE command issued.
This patch adds a new autosense list so that commands that are re-queued
because of a CHECK CONDITION result can be kept apart from the REQUEST
SENSE commands that arrive via queuecommand.
This patch also adds a function dedicated to dequeueing and preparing the
next command for processing. By refactoring the main loop in this way,
scsi_eh_save takes place when an autosense command is dequeued rather
than when re-queued.

NCR5380.c presently uses the instance->host_lock spin lock. Convert this
to a new spin lock that protects the NCR5380_hostdata struct.
atari_NCR5380.c previously used local_irq_save/restore() rather than a
spin lock. Convert this to hostdata->lock in irq mode. For SMP platforms,
the interrupt handler now also acquires the spin lock.
This brings all locking in the two core drivers into agreement.
Adding this locking also means that a bunch of volatile qualifiers can be
removed from the members of the NCR5380_hostdata struct. This is done in
a subsequent patch.
Proper locking will allow the abort handler to locate a command being
aborted. This is presently impossible if the abort handler is invoked when
the command has been moved from a queue to a pointer on the stack. (If
eh_abort_handler can't determine whether a command has been completed
or is still being processed then it can't decide whether to return
success or failure.)
The hostdata spin lock is now held when calling NCR5380_select() and
NCR5380_information_transfer(). Where possible, the lock is dropped for
polling and PIO transfers.
Clean up the now-redundant SELECT_ENABLE_REG writes, that used to provide
limited mutual exclusion between information_transfer() and reselect().
Accessing hostdata->connected without data races means taking the lock;
cleanup these accesses.
The new spin lock falls away for m68k and other UP builds, so this should
have little impact there. In the SMP case the new lock should be
uncontested even when the SCSI bus is contested.

Remove FLAG_DTC3181E. It was used to suppress a final Arbitration Lost
(SEL asserted) test that isn't actually needed. The test was suppressed
because it causes problems for DTC436 and DTC536 chips. It takes place
after the host wins arbitration, so SEL has been asserted. These chips
can't seem to tell whether it was the host or another bus device that
did so.
This questionable final test appears in a flow chart in an early NCR5380
datasheet. It was removed from later documents like the DP5380 datasheet.
By the time this final test takes place, the driver has already tested
the Arbitration Lost bit several times. The first test happens 3 us after
BUS FREE (or longer due to register access delays). The protocol requires
that a device stop signalling within 1.8 us after BUS FREE unless it won
arbitration, in which case it must assert SEL, which is detected 1.2 us
later by the first Arbitration Lost test.

Because interrupt handling is crucial to the core driver(s), all wrapper
drivers need to agree on this code. This patch removes discrepancies.
NCR5380_intr() in NCR5380.c has the following pointless loop that differs
from the code in atari_NCR5380.c.
done = 1;
do {
/* ... */
} while (!done);
The 'done' flag gets cleared when a reconnected command is to be processed
from the work queue. But in NCR5380.c, the flag is also used to cause the
interrupt conditions to be re-examined. Perhaps this was because
NCR5380_reselect() was expected to cause another interrupt, or perhaps
the remaining present interrupt conditions need to be handled after the
NCR5380_reselect() call?
Actually, both possibilities are bogus, as is the loop itself. It seems
have been overlooked in the hit-and-miss removal of scsi host instance
list iteration many years ago; see history/history.git commit 491447e1fcff
("[PATCH] next NCR5380 updates") and commit 69e1a9482e57 ("[PATCH] fix up
NCR5380 private data"). See also my earlier patch, "Always retry
arbitration and selection".
The datasheet says, "IRQ can be reset simply by reading the Reset
Parity/Interrupt Register". So don't treat the chip IRQ like a
level-triggered interrupt. Of the conditions that set the IRQ flag,
some are level-triggered and some are edge-triggered, which means IRQ
itself must be edge-triggered.
Some interrupt conditions are latched and some are not. Before clearing
the chip IRQ flag, clear all state that may cause it to be raised. That
means clearing the DMA Mode and Busy Monitor bits in the Mode Register
and clearing the host ID in the Select Enable register.
Also clean up some printk's and some comments. Keep atari_NCR5380.c and
NCR5380.c in agreement.

The atari_NCR5380.c and NCR5380.c core drivers differ in their handling of
target disconnection. This is partly because atari_NCR5380.c had all of
the polling and sleeping removed to become entirely interrupt-driven, and
it is partly because of damage done to NCR5380.c after atari_NCR5380.c was
forked. See commit 37cd23b44929 ("Linux 2.1.105") in history/history.git.
The polling changes that were made in v2.1.105 are questionable at best:
if REQ is not already asserted when NCR5380_transfer_pio() is invoked, and
if the expected phase is DATA IN or DATA OUT, the function will schedule
main() to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and then return. The problems
here are the expected REQ timing and the sleep interval*. Avoid this issue
by using NCR5380_poll_politely() instead of scheduling main().
The atari_NCR5380.c core driver requires the use of the chip interrupt and
always permits target disconnection. It sets the cmd->device->disconnect
flag when a device disconnects, but never tests this flag.
The NCR5380.c core driver permits disconnection only when
instance->irq != NO_IRQ. It sets the cmd->device->disconnect flag when
a device disconnects and it tests this flag in a couple of places:
1. During NCR5380_information_transfer(), following COMMAND OUT phase,
if !cmd->device->disconnect, the initiator will take a guess as to
whether or not the target will then choose to go to MESSAGE IN phase
and disconnect. If the driver guesses "yes", it will schedule main()
to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and then return there.
Unfortunately the driver may guess "yes" even after it has denied
the target the disconnection privilege. When the target does not
disconnect, the sleep can be beneficial, assuming the sleep interval
is appropriate (mostly it is not*).
And even if the driver guesses "yes" correctly, and the target would
then disconnect, the driver still has to go through the MESSAGE IN
phase in order to get to BUS FREE phase. The main loop can do nothing
useful until BUS FREE, and sleeping just delays the phase transition.
2. If !cmd->device->disconnect and REQ is not already asserted when
NCR5380_information_transfer() is invoked, the function polls for REQ
for USLEEP_POLL jiffies. If REQ is not asserted, it then schedules
main() to execute after USLEEP_SLEEP jiffies and returns.
The idea is apparently to yeild the CPU while waiting for REQ.
This is conditional upon !cmd->device->disconnect, but there seems
to be no rhyme or reason for that. For example, the flag may be
unset because disconnection privilege was denied because the driver
has no IRQ. Or the flag may be unset because the device has never
needed to disconnect before. Or if the flag is set, disconnection
may have no relevance to the present bus phase.
Another deficiency of the existing algorithm is as follows. When the
driver has no IRQ, it prevents disconnection, and generally polls and
sleeps more than it would normally. Now, if the driver is going to poll
anyway, why not allow the target to disconnect? That way the driver can do
something useful with the bus instead of polling unproductively!
Avoid this pointless latency, complexity and guesswork by using
NCR5380_poll_politely() instead of scheduling main().
* For g_NCR5380, the time intervals for USLEEP_SLEEP and USLEEP_POLL are
200 ms and 10 ms, respectively. They are 20 ms and 200 ms respectively
for the other NCR5380 drivers. There doesn't seem to be any reason for
this discrepancy. The timing seems to have no relation to the type of
adapter. Bizarrely, the timing in g_NCR5380 seems to relate only to one
particular type of target device. This patch attempts to solve the
problem for all NCR5380 drivers and all target devices.

NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() hook. Implement NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() for dtc.c
and g_NCR5380.c to take care of the limitations of these cards. Keep the

If NCR5380_select() returns -1, it means arbitration was lost or selection
failed and should be retried. If the main loop simply terminates when there
are still commands on the issue queue, they will remain queued until they
expire.
Fix this by clearing the 'done' flag after selection failure or lost
arbitration.
The "else break" clause in NCR5380_main() that gets removed here appears
to be a vestige of a long-gone loop that iterated over host instances.

Linux v2.1.105 changed the algorithm for polling for the BSY signal
in NCR5380_select() and NCR5380_main().
Presently, this code has a bug. Back then, NCR5380_set_timer(hostdata, 1)
meant reschedule main() after sleeping for 10 ms. Repeated 25 times this
provided the recommended 250 ms selection time-out delay. This got broken
when HZ became configurable.
We could fix this but there's no need to reschedule the main loop. This
BSY polling presently happens when the NCR5380_main() work queue item
calls NCR5380_select(), which in turn schedules NCR5380_main(), which
calls NCR5380_select() again, and so on.
This algorithm is a deviation from the simpler one in atari_NCR5380.c.
The extra complexity and state is pointless. There's no reason to
stop selection half-way and return to to the main loop when the main
loop can do nothing useful until selection completes.
So just poll for BSY. We can sleep while polling now that we have a
suitable workqueue.

briefly then give up. Keep both core drivers in sync.

Linux 2.1.105 introduced the USLEEP_WAITLONG delay, apparently "needed for
Mustek scanners". It is intended to stall the issue queue for 5 seconds.
There are a number of problems with this.
1. Only g_NCR5380 enables the delay, which implies that the other five
drivers using the NCR5380.c core driver remain incompatible with
Mustek scanners.
2. The delay is not implemented by atari_NCR5380.c, which is problematic
for re-unifying the two core driver forks.
3. The delay is implemented using NCR5380_set_timer() which makes it
unreliable. A new command queued by the mid-layer cancels the delay.
4. The delay is applied indiscriminately in several situations in which
NCR5380_select() returns -1. These are-- reselection by the target,
failure of the target to assert BSY, and failure of the target to
assert REQ. It's clear from the comments that USLEEP_WAITLONG is not
relevant to the reselection case. And reportedly, these scanners do
not disconnect.
5. atari_NCR5380.c was forked before Linux 2.1.105, so it was spared some
of the damage done to NCR5380.c. In this case, the atari_NCR5380.c core
driver was more standard-compliant and may not have needed any
workaround like the USLEEP_WAITLONG kludge. The compliance issue was
addressed in the previous patch.
If these scanners still don't work, we need a better solution. Retrying
selection until EH aborts a command offers equivalent robustness. Bugs in
the existing driver prevent EH working correctly but this is addressed in
a subsequent patch. Remove USLEEP_WAITLONG.

If a target disappears from the SCSI bus, NCR5380_select() may
subsequently fail with a time-out. In this situation, scsi_done is
called and NCR5380_select() returns 0. Both hostdata->connected and
hostdata->selecting are NULL and the main loop should proceed with
the next command in the issue queue. Clarify this logic.

Remove the restart_select and targets_present variables introduced in
Linux v1.1.38. The former was used only for a questionable debug printk
and the latter "so we can call a select failure a retryable condition".
Well, retrying select failure in general is a different problem to a
target that doesn't assert BSY. We need to handle these two cases
differently; the latter case can be left to the SCSI ML.
