Hi all,
This is v4, addressing review feedback from Damien Le Moal and Hannes Reinecke on v3.
This series gives libata support for ATAPI devices with multiple LUNs, such as the Panasonic PD-1 PD/CD combo drive. This exposes both the CD-ROM and rewritable PD optical interfaces: CD-ROM as LUN 0 and PD as LUN 1.
libata has never supported multi-LUN ATAPI. This series adds support by fixing the following limitations:
1. shost->max_lun is hardcoded to 1 in ata_scsi_add_hosts(), preventing the SCSI layer from probing any LUN beyond 0.
2. __ata_scsi_find_dev() rejects all commands where scsidev->lun != 0, returning NULL and resulting in DID_BAD_TARGET.
3. The SCSI-2 CDB LUN field (byte 1, bits 7:5) is never populated. ATAPI tunnels SCSI commands over the ATA PACKET interface, and the transport-layer LUN addressing used by SPC-3+ is not available. Older multi-LUN ATAPI devices rely on this CDB field to route commands to the correct LUN.
4. ata_scsi_scan_host() only calls __scsi_add_device() for LUN 0, never probing additional LUNs even when the SCSI device info table would indicate the device supports them.
5. dev->sdev is a single pointer, but multi-LUN ATAPI puts multiple sdevs behind one ata_device. Every call to ata_scsi_dev_config() overwrote the pointer, and ata_scsi_sdev_destroy() tore down the entire ATA device whenever any sdev was destroyed -- so removing a spurious LUN result during scanning would kill the whole port, and the other users of dev->sdev (scsi_remove_device in ata_port_detach(), ACPI uevents, zpodd, media-change notify, suspend/resume rescan) could only ever see one LUN.
Changes from v3:
- 1/7 unchanged; carries Hannes' Reviewed-by from v2.
- 2/7 (sdev array): added a per-device dev->nr_luns field so the common single-LUN case iterates one slot rather than ATAPI_MAX_LUN (8). Added an inline ata_dev_scsi_device(dev, lun) helper with a WARN_ON_ONCE(lun >= dev->nr_luns) bounds check, and converted the hardcoded LUN-0 references in libata-acpi (uevent kobj), libata-zpodd (disk events, wake notify), and the door-lock and OF-node paths in libata-scsi to use it. Hannes' v2 Reviewed-by has been dropped given the scope of the rework.
- 3/7 (LUN routing): hoisted the non-zero LUN handling to the top of __ata_scsi_find_dev() so the original channel/id rejection logic is left structurally unchanged. Replaced the bare "lun >= 8" gate in atapi_xlat() with WARN_ON_ONCE(lun >= dev->nr_luns); the SCSI layer caps lun at shost->max_lun (<= ATAPI_MAX_LUN), so this should never trigger in practice.
- 4/7 (BLIST_NO_LUN_1F): use sdev->sdev_bflags (just assigned) rather than re-dereferencing *bflags, and dropped a stray blank line. Picked up Reviewed-by tags from Damien and Hannes.
- 5/7 (probe extra LUNs): dropped the introduced inner { } scope around sdev so the declaration sits at its original spot at the top of the loop body. Bump dev->nr_luns to the host's max_lun before calling scsi_scan_target() so the probe INQUIRYs to LUN > 0 are accepted by atapi_xlat(). Stale "see patch X" cross-references have been removed from the changelog.
- 6/7 (COMPAQ PD-1): unchanged; picked up Reviewed-by tags from Damien and Hannes.
- 7/7 (MATSHITA + NEC PD-1): unchanged; picked up Reviewed-by tag from Damien. Kept as a separate patch from 6/7: the variants are untested (the author only has the COMPAQ unit), and being a standalone patch lets maintainers drop or hold it independently from the rest of the series.
The series is split as:
1/7: libata-scsi: add libata.atapi_max_lun module parameter.
2/7: libata-scsi: convert dev->sdev to a per-LUN array, add dev->nr_luns and the ata_dev_scsi_device() helper, and update every caller.
3/7: libata-scsi: relax __ata_scsi_find_dev() to accept non-zero LUN for ATAPI devices, and encode the LUN in CDB byte 1 bits 7:5.
4/7: scsi: add a BLIST_NO_LUN_1F blacklist flag, which sets scsi_target.pdt_1f_for_no_lun for matching devices so that PDT 0x1f / PQ 0 INQUIRY responses are treated as "LUN not present" and silently skipped.
5/7: libata-scsi: after adding LUN 0, trigger scsi_scan_target() for BLIST_FORCELUN ATAPI devices only. Single-LUN devices are completely unaffected.
6/7: scsi_devinfo: add the COMPAQ-branded variant of the PD-1 to the device info table with BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SINGLELUN | BLIST_NO_LUN_1F.
7/7: scsi_devinfo: extend BLIST_NO_LUN_1F to the MATSHITA and NEC PD-1 variants. Untested on those OEM units (the author only has the COMPAQ-branded drive), but all three appear to use the same Panasonic LF-1095/LF-1195 mechanism and firmware family, so the quirk is expected to apply equally. Kept separate so it can be dropped independently if confirmation on MATSHITA or NEC hardware is preferred.
Tested on a Panasonic LF-1195C PD/CD (Compaq branded) attached to an ata_piix host on i686, kernel 7.0.0-rc7+, with libata.atapi_max_lun=7. Both LUNs enumerate correctly: the CD-ROM as sr0 and the PD as sda. Reads from each device succeed against the appropriate media. Non-responding LUNs are silently skipped (no spurious "No Device" entries in dmesg). An iHAS124 DVD writer on the same machine (single-LUN, no BLIST_FORCELUN entry) is unaffected: only LUN 0 is scanned.
Two known limitations around media-change detection on multi-LUN ATAPI devices with a shared physical media slot (e.g. PD/CD combos flagged BLIST_SINGLELUN):
1. The block layer disables in-kernel polling by default (block.events_dfl_poll_msecs defaults to 0). Without polling, sd_check_events never runs and media insertion on the PD LUN is not detected automatically. sr_mod is unaffected because it re-reads the TOC on every open.
Workaround -- either globally via kernel boot parameter:
block.events_dfl_poll_msecs=2000
or per-device via udev rule:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", \ ATTRS{vendor}=="COMPAQ ", ATTRS{model}=="PD-1*", \ ATTR{events_poll_msecs}="2000"
Even with polling enabled the sd path does not always pick up fresh media on this firmware; `blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdX` reliably forces a revalidate and proves the libata routing itself is correct.
2. Media-change sense is not propagated across sibling LUNs. When one LUN reports UNIT ATTENTION (ASC 0x28 or 0x3A), the other LUNs are not notified. With polling enabled, sd_check_events detects the change independently on each LUN via TUR, so this is mainly a latency issue rather than a functional one. A follow-up to propagate media-change events to sibling LUNs in atapi_qc_complete is straightforward but deferred to keep this series focused on the LUN-scanning core.
Suspend/resume with multi-LUN ATAPI attached has not yet been tested; this is on the list. ata_scsi_dev_rescan iterates all populated LUN slots, and the SCSI layer's host-level suspend tracking already serialises port quiesce, so no additional per-LUN suspend counting is needed in libata.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
