Initiator need to recover session and reconnect to target, after calling stop_conn. And target will rebuild new session info, and mark ASC_POWERON_RESET ua sense for scsi devices belong to the target(device reset). After recovery, first scsi command(scmd) request to target will get ASC_POWERON_RESET(ua sense) + SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION(status) in response.
According to scsi code: "scsi_done --> scsi_complete --> scsi_decide_disposition --> scsi_check_sense", if expecting_cc_ua = 0, scmd response with ASC_POWERON_RESET(ua sense) will ignore "cmd->retries <= cmd->allowed", fail directly. It will cause SCSI return io_error to upper layer without retry.
If we set expecting_cc_ua=1 in fail_scsi_tasks, SISC will retry the scmd which is response with ASC_POWERON_RESET. The scmd second request to target can successful, because target will clear ASC_POWERON_RESET in device pending ua_sense_list after first scmd request.

CC'ing the fibre channel experts because they might have the same issue.

Just want to make sure I understand the problem.

Does the failure only happen with tape or passthrough or if removable is
set?

For commands coming from sd, then scsi_io_completion will end up calling
scsi_io_completion_action and seeing the UNIT_ATTENTION and will retry.
I'm not saying we shouldn't do a fix like you did below. Just want to
make sure I understand the case you describe above.

What does "SISC" stand for?

The failure case can happen with other transports like fibre channel
right? If it's common I think we want this in the core scsi code.

For iscsi, we want to set expecting_cc_ua whenever we call
scsi_block_targets() or whenever we return DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED or
DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST.

FC developers, I'm not sure if that's the case for you. For example if
your driver called fc_remote_port_delete -> scsi_block_targets but then
the issue is resolved quickly, like for a quick cable pull, and you
called fc_remote_port_add, could there be cases where you did not get a
I_T Nexus loss/reset type of issue?

Or is it the case where anytime a fc driver calls fc_remote_port_delete
then you will expect a UA after calling fc_remote_port_add again?

If expecting_cc_ua == 1, scsi_check_sense return NEEDS_RETRY and scsi_complete will retry.


For sd, scsi_decide_disposition will return SUCCESS. scsi_complete will call
scsi_finish_command. In there we call the upper layer done callback, sd_done,
and it will return 0 as there are no good bytes. scsi_io_completion will
initially complete 0 bytes. If there are retries left then we call
scsi_io_completion_action which sees the UA and will retry.
