In the days when SCSI-2 was emerging, some drives did claim SCSI-2 but did
not correctly implement it. The st driver first tries MODE SELECT with the
page format bit set to set the block descriptor. If not successful, the
non-page format is tried.
The test only tests the sense code and this triggers also from illegal
parameter in the parameter list. The test is limited to "old" devices and
made more strict to remove false alarms.

Compare the stored values of por_ctr and new_media_ctr against the values
in the device struct. In case of mismatch, the Unit Attention corresponding
to the counter has happened. This is a safeguard against another ULD
catching the Unit Attention sense data.
Macros scsi_get_ua_new_media_ctr and scsi_get_ua_por_ctr are added to read
the current values of the counters.

Some of the allowed operations put the tape into a known position to
continue operation assuming only the tape position has changed. But reset
sets partition, density and block size to drive default values. These
should be restored to the values before reset.
Normally the current block size and density are stored by the drive. If
the settings have been changed, the changed values have to be saved by the
driver across reset.

Commit 9604eea5bd ("scsi: st: Add third party poweron reset handling") in
v6.6 added new code to handle the Power On/Reset Unit Attention (POR UA)
sense data. This was in addition to the existing method. When this Unit
Attention is received, the driver blocks attempts to read, write and some
other operations because the reset may have rewinded the tape. Because of
the added code, also the initial POR UA resulted in blocking operations,
including those that are used to set the driver options after the device is
recognized. Also, reading and writing are refused, whereas they succeeded
before this commit.
Add code to not set pos_unknown to block operations if the POR UA is
received from the first test_ready() call after the st device has been
created. This restores the behavior before v6.6.

A previous change was introduced to prevent data loss during a power-on
reset when a tape is present inside the drive. This commit set the
"pos_unknown" flag to true to avoid operations that could compromise data
by performing actions from an untracked position. The relevant change is
commit 9604eea5bd ("scsi: st: Add third party poweron reset handling")
As a consequence of this change, a new issue has surfaced: the driver now
returns an "Input/output error" even for empty drives when the drive, host,
or bus is reset. This issue stems from the "flush_buffer" function, which
first checks whether the "pos_unknown" flag is set. If the flag is set, the
user will encounter an "Input/output error" until the tape position is
known again. This behavior differs from the previous implementation, where
empty drives were not affected at system start up time, allowing tape
software to send commands to the driver to retrieve the drive's status and
other information.
The current behavior prioritizes the "pos_unknown" flag over the
"ST_NO_TAPE" status, leading to issues for software that detects drives
during system startup. This software will receive an "Input/output error"
until a tape is loaded and its position is known.
To resolve this, the "ST_NO_TAPE" status should take priority when the
drive is empty, allowing communication with the drive following a power-on
reset. At the same time, the change should continue to protect data by
maintaining the "pos_unknown" flag when the drive contains a tape and its
position is unknown.

Many tape devices will automatically rewind following a poweron/reset.
This can result in data loss as other operations in the driver can write to
the tape when the position is unknown. E.g. MTEOM can write a filemark at
the beginning of the tape. This patch adds code to detect poweron/reset
unit attentions and prevents the driver from writing to the tape when the
position could be unknown.
Customer reported problem description:
We have experienced an issue with the SCSI tape driver (st) which has led
to data loss for us on two separate occasions in production, as well as in
a third case in which we were able to reproduce the failure in our test
environment.
The tape device involved is an Amazon Tape Gateway, a virtual tape library
(VTL) appliance which presents as a series of iSCSI targets (multiple tape
drives and a changer) and is backed by storage in Amazon S3. The problem is
a general one and not limited to any particular SCSI transport or tape
device, though the nature of both iSCSI and the VTL make data loss somewhat
more likely with this combination than with a physical tape drive.
The observed behavior occurs when an error causes the VTL tape gateway
process (on the appliance) to crash and restart. This interrupts the iSCSI
TCP connections and, when it occurs during a write, causes the write to
fail with EIO. However, we then find that the virtual tape in question is
now completely blank. We raised this issue with AWS support, thinking this
must be a bug in the VTL appliance, but that turns out not to be the case.
Per AWS support, when the gateway crashes in this manner, its notion of the
current tape position is reset to the beginning of the tape. It also sets a
unit attention condition, such that the next request results in a CHECK
CONDITION status with sense key UNIT ATTENTION and asc/ascq indicating a
device reset. According to their logs the next command being sent is WRITE
FILEMARK, which results in writing an FM at the beginning of the tape,
effectively discarding its contents.
In fact, once the write fails with EIO, our software attempts to recover by
rewinding and repositioning the tape, then resuming operation. If this
fails, it attempts to rewind and reposition again, write a marker at the
end of the tape, and then unmount. It does not under any circumstances
write either data or filemarks without having successfully positioned the
tape to a known point.
What actually happens is that, since the last operation was a write, the
kernel executes an implied MTWEOF operation (which translate to a Write
Filemarks command) before the rewind that was actually requested. This
seems not entirely unreasonable, provided the tape position is known.
However, once this request fails (due to the unit attention condition), our
next rewind attempt also triggers an implied MTWEOF, which does _not_ fail
(the unit attention condition persists only until the initiator has been
notified); this is the command that unexpectedly erases the tape.
Our analysis is that the st driver is in fact completely ignoring the UNIT
ATTENTION and associated reset notification from the device. This is not a
condition that can be detected in the transport or mid-layer, as it occurs
entirely within the target and is reported only via the UNIT ATTENTION
sense key. The upper driver (i.e. st) needs to detect this indication and
reset its internal model of the device to an unknown state.

Now that each scsi_request is backed by a scsi_cmnd, there is no need to
indirect the CDB storage. Change all submitters of SCSI passthrough
requests to store the CDB information directly in the scsi_cmnd, and while
doing so allocate the full 32 bytes that cover all Linux supported SCSI
hosts instead of requiring dynamic allocation for > 16 byte CDBs. On
64-bit systems this does not change the size of the scsi_cmnd at all, while
on 32-bit systems it slightly increases it for now, but that increase will
be made up by the removal of the remaining scsi_request fields.

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 1" scenario (Direct IO),
using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's time to convert the
get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to pin_user_pages*() +
unpin_user_pages() calls.
There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part of
fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file systems'
use of those pages.
Note that this effectively changes the code's behavior as well: it now
ultimately calls set_page_dirty_lock(), instead of SetPageDirty().This is
probably more accurate.
As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are
dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it
hangs off." [3]
Also, this deletes one of the two FIXME comments (about refcounting),
because there is nothing wrong with the refcounting at this point.
