scsi: core: Drop Scsi_Host.default_lock

2026-09-02T02:46:18+00:00

Back in the 2.6.xx days, it was possible to for low-level drivers to set the shost lock pointer. That is why there is a default lock and a pointer to the shost lock. However, support for this has long been removed, so drop Scsi_Host.default_lock and make Scsi_Host.host_lock as the actual lock. Getting the address of embedded host_lock structure just requires adding a fixed offset value to the shost pointer. However, getting the value of the host_lock pointer requires loading from a fixed offset to the shost pointer. The latter should be very slightly slower, which is relevant as this lock is used a lot throughout the core code and drivers.

scsi: leapraid: Standardize NCQ priority sysfs attributes

2026-08-24T01:57:41+00:00

Replace the earlier LeapRAID ncq_cmd_prio_enable attribute with the standard sas_ncq_prio_supported and sas_ncq_prio_enable names documented in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-device, and rename the per-device NCQ priority state to match. The earlier ncq_cmd_prio_enable name has not yet been established as part of a released userspace ABI, so no compatibility alias is needed. For LeapRAID, sas_ncq_prio_enable is backed by the driver's per-device NCQ priority state and controls whether RT-class I/O requests are issued with command priority on supported SATA devices. Update leapraid.rst to describe the standard attribute names and paths, and clean up the surrounding RST text for consistency with kernel documentation style. Also switch the capability check from open-coded VPD page 0x89 parsing to sas_ata_ncq_prio_supported(), use kstrtobool() for the enable path, and expose the NCQ priority attributes only for SATA devices using LeapRAID's target-private SAS device state.

scsi: Change the return type of the .queuecommand() callback

2026-01-24T02:32:34+00:00

In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from 'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.
