[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] QEMU-KVM scsi-bus: Add LBA+Transfer Length to outgoing SBC CDBs in scsi_req_setup() for SG_IO |

Greetings Hannes, Gerd and co,
So after doing more digging into the work for a SGL capable QEMU SCSI
HBA emulation interface with the megasas driver on Linux/KVM Hosts, I
realized that the SG_IO breakage we originally encountered is due to the
fact that CDBs containing SBC LBA+block_count where not getting built in
the new HBA I/O helper in hw/scsi-bus.c:scsi_req_setup().
This is AFAICT because hw/scsi-disk.c logic is doing it's underlying
userspace AIO to struct file without any knowledge of SBC CDBs to begin
with. (Please correct me if I am wrong) With the following patch on top
of my working qemu-kvm.git tree containing Gerd's SCSI bus interface, I
am now able to run bulk SG_IO with megasas emulation in a v2.6.26-2
x86_64 KVM Guest on a 2.6.34-rc4 x86_64 Host with TCM_Loop virtual SAS
ports!
Also the original lack of a valid req->cmd.len assignment in
scsi_req_setup() is what was causing the original 'Message too long'
SG_IO failures I encountered.. Here is the combined patch to make go:

So far using the LTP-Disktest O_DIRECT benchmark with 8 threads and 64k
blocksize in a guest with 4 VCPUs and 2048MB memory to a SG_IO <->
TCM/RAMDISK_DR backstore running on a KVM 5500 series Nehalem host, I am
seeing ~8.9 Gb/sec (~1050 MB/sec) of bandwith to megasas with the large
blocksizes. Seperately I am able to mkfs and mount filesystems from
within KVM guest, shutdown and then mount locally with TCM_Loop on the
host, etc.
Here is how it looks in action so far:
http://linux-iscsi.org/images/Megasas-SGIO-TCM_Loop-05012010.png
In order to achieve these results I am running with the recommended
MEGASAS_MAX_FRAMES=1000, and two extra kernel patches for seting
include/scsi/sg.h:SG_MAX_QUEUE=128 and increasing TCM_Loop's SCSI LLD
settings for struct scsi_host_template to can_queue=1024,
cmd_per_lun=1024, and max_sectors=256.

With the v2.6.26-2 Linux guests everything feels quite solid running for
extended periods at 1000 MB/sec to TCM_Loop virtual SAS ports and
TCM/RAMDISK_DR and TCM/FILEIO backstores running on the Linux Host.
One big item that I did notice was that using a v2.6.34-rc kernel in KVM
guest caused number of problems with SG_IO that eventually required a
reboot on the host machine. I assume this must have something to do
with upstream linux megaraid_sas driver changes..? Hannes, any comments
here before taking a look with git bisect..?
Best,
