If IQ were added alongside the REQUEST IDENTIFIER, then the ABORT TASK and QUERY TASK could be sent down other IQs. However, the initiator would need to implement Request Fence to ensure that the other IQs have been consumed before sending the ABORT TASK or QUERY TASK, to avoid a race condition where the ABORT TASK or QUERY TASK arrives before the command that it is trying to affect. For ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR TASK SET, and LOGICAL UNIT RESET, the initiator must implement Request Fence and wait for the other IQs to be consumed before sending the TMF. Adding IQ alongside REQUEST IDENTIFIER doesn't help this. Proposals: 1. add "send ABORT TASK and QUERY TASK down same IQ" rule (or every IQ, if it doesn't remember... ugly for QUERY TASK) 2 a) add Request Fence rules. Scope=I_T_L_Q means #1. Scope=I_T_L or I_T means initiator port wait for all other IQs to be consumed (based on IQ CI) before sending the command or TMF specifying Request Fence. 2 b) Make the device check all the PIs when it receives a command or TMF that affects other commands (i.e. implies Request Fence). Must decode the command or TMF to make this decision. Drain all those other IQs before processing this command or TMF. The initiator is required to post all affected commands to the other queues for this to work - cannot be stuck pre-queue. So this means Request Fence just forces the commands to be produced (visible via PI), not consumed (CI). The driver can also interpret the TMF itself and e.g. abort commands that aren't produced yet. 3. add OQ alongside Request ID for ABORT TASK and QUERY TASK to effectively expand the number of tags 4. add optional IQ alongside Request ID for ABORT TASK and QUERY TASK so they can be sent down different IQs than the command they are affecting. 5 a) Do not support multiple initiators sharing one function. Use SR-IOV for that; or 5 b) add an Initiator Identifier during queue creation that can be used to identify sets of IQs as related, and send the TMF down any IQ within the set. Since there is only one admin queue pair, a hypervisor would have to handle the queue creation.

What threw me is that Table 216 ? PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT service actions and valid parameters has a row for REGISTER AND MOVE and lists under the TYPE column "valid". After reading the text, though, it is clear that the TYPE field is "ignored" not "valid". Ralph, If this isn't already a letter ballot comment against SPC-4 I would like to add it. That is, correct Table 216 ? PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT service actions and valid parameters to show "ignored" for the TYPE field for a service action of REGISTER AND MOVE. Thanks, Kevin D.

The scope of these functions is affected by the TST setting (i.e., whether the device server maintains a separate task set for each I_T nexus (TST=001b) or puts all commands from all I_T nexes in the same task set (TST=000b). My historical understanding of these functions is: - ABORT TASK SET is supposed to abort all commands within the defined task set. If TST=000b, this would be all commands from all I_T nexes; if TST=001b, this would be all commands from a particular I_T nexus. - CLEAR TASK SET is supposed to clear all commands in all task sets, regardless of TST bit setting. The SAM-5 wording regarding these functions seem to describe these functions differently. - The ABORT TASK SET wording seems to require aborting command for a single I_T nexus, which is part of the task set (assuming the device server has outstanding commands from several I_T nexes) if TST=000b and an entire task set if TST=001b. - SAM-5 wording for CLEAR TASK SET says it only affects one task set, so if TST=000b then it affects all commands and if TST=001b then only the commands in a single task set (i.e., from one I_T nexus) are affected. - With the current SAM-5 definitions, neither ABORT TASK SET or CLEAR TASK SET will abort all commands in all task sets if TST=0001b. This seems wrong. I think the current SAM-5 wording of these functions is not the best. Where do we go from here? From Mark.Evans at wdc.com Tue Jan 15 15:35:53 2013 From: Mark.Evans at wdc.com (Mark Evans) Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:35:53 +0000 Subject: Question about CLEAR TASK SET and ABORT TASK SET Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Hi Gerry, Someplace along the line I think we got off the beam. Here is some text from SAM-1 with some comments: a) "An ABORT TASK SET function terminates all tasks for the initiator on the specified task set of the target." However, there is no definition in SAM-1 as to what a "specified task set" is or how it's defined. The TST field wasn't defined until SPC-2r2 over two years later; and b) "The CLEAR TASK SET function terminates all tasks for all initiators on the specified task set of the target." Again, there is no definition in SAM-1 as to what a "specified task set" is. It seems to me that, since there wasn't any definition of what a "specified task set" was, that the intent was as you described it, and, I think how many of us understand it (i.e., CLEAR TASK SET clears all commands for all initiators). It looks like this stuff stayed out of sync, with the final insult being a change that was made in SAM-4r12 based on proposal 06-026r4 from Rob Elliot. Maybe Rob can reconcile all of this, but it looks to me like we need to change the definitions in SAM-5 to something like: 7.3 ABORT TASK SET ..... Description: This function shall be supported by all logical units. If the task manager maintains one task set for all I_T nexuses as specified by the TST field in the Control mode page (see SPC-4), then the task manager shall abort all commands in the task set (i.e., the equivalent of a CLEAR TASK SET task management function).

The scope of these functions is affected by the TST setting (i.e., whether the device server maintains a separate task set for each I_T nexus (TST=001b) or puts all commands from all I_T nexes in the same task set (TST=000b). My historical understanding of these functions is: * ABORT TASK SET is supposed to abort all commands within the defined task set. If TST=000b, this would be all commands from all I_T nexes; if TST=001b, this would be all commands from a particular I_T nexus. * CLEAR TASK SET is supposed to clear all commands in all task sets, regardless of TST bit setting. The SAM-5 wording regarding these functions seem to describe these functions differently. * The ABORT TASK SET wording seems to require aborting command for a single I_T nexus, which is part of the task set (assuming the device server has outstanding commands from several I_T nexes) if TST=000b and an entire task set if TST=001b. * SAM-5 wording for CLEAR TASK SET says it only affects one task set, so if TST=000b then it affects all commands and if TST=001b then only the commands in a single task set (i.e., from one I_T nexus) are affected. * With the current SAM-5 definitions, neither ABORT TASK SET or CLEAR TASK SET will abort all commands in all task sets if TST=0001b.

From George.Penokie at lsi.com Wed Jan 16 07:00:31 2013 From: George.Penokie at lsi.com (Penokie, George) Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:00:31 -0700 Subject: Question about CLEAR TASK SET and ABORT TASK SET Message-ID: Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Gerry, Your understanding is not correct. The TST setting has no effect on ABORT TASK SET. The same commands are aborted regardless of the TST setting when an ABORT TASK SET is issued. If TST is zero there is one task set so then all the commands from the I_T nexus on which the command was received would be aborted and any commands from difference I_T nexuses are not aborted. If TST is one then there is one task set for each I_T nexus so any time an ABORT TASK SET is received it will abort all the commands in that task set but not affect any of the commands in the other task sets. The TST setting does affect the operation of the CLEAR TASK SET. If the TST is set to zero, meaning there is one task set, then all the commands in that task set are cleared regardless of which I_T nexus the command was received on. However, if the TST is one then there are separate task sets for each I_T nexus, then a CLEAR TASK SET will only clear the task set to which it is sent. The effect of this is the same as if an ABORT TASK SET was sent to that same task set. The net is that if TST is set to one the ABORT TASK SET and CLEAR TASK SET will abort the same set of commands. This effect is clearly called out in footnote c of table 41 in SAM-5 revision 12: If the TST field is set to 001b (i.e., per I_T nexus) in the Control mode page (see SPC-4), then there is one task set per I_T nexus As a result, no other I_T nexuses are affected and CLEAR TASK SET is equivalent to ABORT TASK SET. As for history, TST came into existence in SAM-2. In SAM-2 revision 10 the following paragraph was in the CLEAR TASK SET section: If the TST field equals 000b in the Control mode page (see SPC-2), the target shall perform an action equivalent to receiving a series of ABORT TASK requests from each initiator. If the TST field equals 001b the target shall perform an action equivalent to receiving a series of ABORT TASK requests |from only the requesting initiator. I do not see any problem with the way it is currently worded in SAM-5.

Here is some text from SAM-1 with some comments: a) "An ABORT TASK SET function terminates all tasks for the initiator on the specified task set of the target." However, there is no definition in SAM-1 as to what a "specified task set" is or how it's defined. The TST field wasn't defined until SPC-2r2 over two years later; and b) "The CLEAR TASK SET function terminates all tasks for all initiators on the specified task set of the target." Again, there is no definition in SAM-1 as to what a "specified task set" is. It seems to me that, since there wasn't any definition of what a "specified task set" was, that the intent was as you described it, and, I think how many of us understand it (i.e., CLEAR TASK SET clears all commands for all initiators). It looks like this stuff stayed out of sync, with the final insult being a change that was made in SAM-4r12 based on proposal 06-026r4 from Rob Elliot. Maybe Rob can reconcile all of this, but it looks to me like we need to change the definitions in SAM-5 to something like: 7.3 ABORT TASK SET ..... Description: This function shall be supported by all logical units. If the task manager maintains one task set for all I_T nexuses as specified by the TST field in the Control mode page (see SPC-4), then the task manager shall abort all commands in the task set (i.e., the equivalent of a CLEAR TASK SET task management function).

That TMF aborts all commands received on an I_T nexus. If TST is set to 001b, this means all tasks in that particular task set. Unfortunately, the new definition for CLEAR TASK SET in SAM-2 makes it so that, when TST is set to 001b, the only way to abort all tasks in all task sets is by sending a LOGICAL UNIT RESET. This TMF potentially causes lots of other stuff to happen besides just aborting all commands in all task sets. Maybe we should define a new TMF and modify what definitions we have such that there is a true TMF hierarchy: 1) ABORT TASK aborts a specific task from a specific I_T nexus; 2) ABORT I_T NEXUS aborts all tasks from a specific I_T nexus, regardless of task set; 3) ABORT TASK SET aborts all tasks in a task set, regardless of I_T nexus; 4) CLEAR TASK SET aborts all tasks from all I_T nexuses, regardless of task set; and 5) LOGICAL UNIT RESET aborts all tasks from all I_T nexuses, regardless of task set, and may cause lots of other stuff to happen.

Below is the snippet from Draft T10/12-251 revision 8: --------------------- Page# 37--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- 6.18.9.3.4 SSP_EM2:Manage This state: a) requests the SSP transmitter send EXTEND_CONNECTION; and b) monitors the receipt of EXTEND_CONNECTION. Upon entry into this state, this state shall initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer. If this state receives: a) a Frame Transmitted message, then this state shall initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer; or b) a Transmitting Frame message, then this state shall stop the Transmit Extend Connection timer. If the Transmit Extend Connection timer expires, then this state shall: a) send a Transmit EXTEND_CONNECTION message to the SSP transmitter; and b) after receiving an EXTEND_CONNECTION transmitted message, initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer. --------------------- Page# 37--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- So, For the transmission of the EXTEND CONNECTION Primitive, it takes care of the following: 1. Upon entry into SSP_EM2: Manage state, SSP Phy shall initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer 2. Transmit Extend Connection timer runs when there is nothing to do, And when timer expires, EXTEND_CONNECTION primitive is transmitted 3. If there is a request to transmit a Frame, it stops the timer until the frame is completely transmitted. It initializes and resumes the timer upon receipt of Frame Transmitted message. But it does not take care of the Receiver side of EXTEND CONNECTION Primitive. Please see the snippet below: --------------------- Page# 37,38------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- If this state receives an EXTEND_CONNECTION Received message, then this state shall initialize and start the Persistent Connection Timeout timer. If the Persistent Connection Timeout timer expires, then this state shall send a Persistent Connection Established (Disabled) confirmation to the port layer. --------------------- Page# 37, 38--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Here SSP_EM2:Manage state nowhere accommodates the change in the Persistent Connection Timeout timer state when receiving the frame. Consider a situation where the Transmitter has long traffic of Back to Back Frames to transmit. In that case it will not send the EXTEND_CONNECTION Primitive(refer to #3 above). Eventually, the Persistent Connection Timeout Timer will expire and will force the Receiver to send a Persistent Connection Established (Disabled) confirmation to the port layer. So, is it correct, that the Persistent Connection Timeout time keeps on running, waiting for EXTEND_CONNECTION primitive, even when it is receiving a Frame? Please share your opinion on this.

If this state receives: a) a Frame Transmitted message, then this state shall initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer; or b) a Transmitting Frame message, then this state shall stop the Transmit Extend Connection timer.

Upon entry into SSP_EM2: Manage state, SSP Phy shall initialize and start the Transmit Extend Connection timer 2. Transmit Extend Connection timer runs when there is nothing to do, And when timer expires, EXTEND_CONNECTION primitive is transmitted 3. If there is a request to transmit a Frame, it stops the timer until the frame is completely transmitted. It initializes and resumes the timer upon receipt of Frame Transmitted message. But it does not take care of the Receiver side of EXTEND CONNECTION Primitive. Please see the snippet below: --------------------- Page# 37,38------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- If this state receives an EXTEND_CONNECTION Received message, then this state shall initialize and start the Persistent Connection Timeout timer. If the Persistent Connection Timeout timer expires, then this state shall send a Persistent Connection Established (Disabled) confirmation to the port layer. --------------------- Page# 37, 38--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Here SSP_EM2:Manage state nowhere accommodates the change in the Persistent Connection Timeout timer state when receiving the frame. Consider a situation where the Transmitter has long traffic of Back to Back Frames to transmit. In that case it will not send the EXTEND_CONNECTION Primitive(refer to #3 above). Eventually, the Persistent Connection Timeout Timer will expire and will force the Receiver to send a Persistent Connection Established (Disabled) confirmation to the port layer. So, is it correct, that the Persistent Connection Timeout time keeps on running, waiting for EXTEND_CONNECTION primitive, even when it is receiving a Frame? Please share your opinion on this.

The time is not suspended, so you do not have to keep track of the value in the timer while frame are being transmitted. Adding the same behavior to the Persistent Connection Timeout timer should not add much complexity. Too many times I have heard the 'it will never happen' or 'it will not be a problem' for SAS and too many times it becomes a problem late in the game causing the need for a much more complex solution to keep existing products from breaking.

I think that might be an extra complexity that is not really needed. Also did you mean suspend, or reinitialize? If you are re-initializing the Transmit side, then I think you want o reinitialize the receive side too? Also, on the transmit side, does the Transmit Extend Conenction timer need to be suspended during frames transmission? Can't we just re-initialize it on frame transmitted? The EXTEND_CONNECTION has a lower priority to transmit than a frame, so the transmitter won't send it during a frame even if one is queued, it will go after the frame. On the other hand - In order for the scenario cites to happen, there would have to be 1ms of back to back traffic with not a single gap, which is highly unlikely. But assuming that this scenario could happen, it is a good reason why the transmit extend timer maybe shouldn't be stopped or reinitialized on a frame. Just have it send EXTEND_CONNECTION periodically at 10x the PCTT. Seems like a fairly simple approach would do, there is no exact timing needed for the persistent connection to persist. Trying to reduce the complexity of verification of this.
