This is the PATCH v2. Sorry for the wrong subject line.

Applied to 4.11/scsi-fixes, thanks!

On a dual controller setup with multipath enabled, some MEDIUM ERRORs caused both paths to be failed, thus I/O got queued/blocked since the 'queue_if_no_path' feature is enabled by default on IPR controllers. This example disabled 'queue_if_no_path' so the I/O failure is seen at the sg_dd program. Notice that after the sg_dd test-case, both paths are in 'failed' state, and both path/priority groups are in 'enabled' state (not 'active') -- which would block I/O with 'queue_if_no_path'. # sg_dd if=/dev/dm-2 bs=4096 count=1 dio=1 verbose=4 blk_sgio=0 <...> read(unix): count=4096, res=-1 sg_dd: reading, skip=0 : Input/output error <...> # dmesg [...] sd 2:2:16:0: [sds] FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [...] sd 2:2:16:0: [sds] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [...] sd 2:2:16:0: [sds] Add.

The dm-multipath explicitly checks for the MEDIUM ERROR case (and a few others) so not to fail the path (e.g., I/O to other sectors could potentially happen without problems). See dm-mpath.c :: do_end_io_bio() -> noretry_error() !->! fail_path(). The problem trace is: 1) ipr_scsi_done() // SENSE KEY/CHECK CONDITION detected, go to.. 2) ipr_erp_start() // ipr_is_gscsi() and masked_ioasc OK, go to.. 3) ipr_gen_sense() // masked_ioasc is IPR_IOASC_MED_DO_NOT_REALLOC, // so set DID_PASSTHROUGH. 4) scsi_decide_disposition() // check for DID_PASSTHROUGH and return // early on, faking a DID_OK.. *instead* // of reaching scsi_check_sense(). // Had it reached the latter, that would // set host_byte to DID_MEDIUM_ERROR. 5) scsi_finish_command() 6) scsi_io_completion() 7) __scsi_error_from_host_byte() // That would be converted to -ENODATA <...> 8) dm_softirq_done() 9) multipath_end_io() 10) do_end_io() 11) noretry_error() // And that is checked in dm-mpath :: noretry_error() // which would cause fail_path() not to be called. With this patch applied, the I/O is failed but the paths are not. This multipath device continues accepting more I/O requests without blocking. (and notice the different host byte/driver byte handling per SCSI layer). # dmesg [...] sd 2:2:7:0: [sdaf] Done: SUCCESS Result: hostbyte=0x13 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [...] sd 2:2:7:0: [sdaf] CDB: Read(10) 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 [...] sd 2:2:7:0: [sdaf] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [...] sd 2:2:7:0: [sdaf] Add.
