[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] iSCSI abort task - the saga continuesDear colleagues, Here is a simpler version of the Task Management Request & Response. Abort task is processed only at target but the initiator issues it only on the same connection (as Santosh Rao once proposed) with the added semantic that if the connection is failing it can be issued on a new connection and it means both abort and change allegiance. Here is the proposed text: 1.1 Task Management Function Request Byte / 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0|X|I| x02 |0| Function | Reserved | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 4| Reserved | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 8| Logical Unit Number (LUN) or Reserved | + + 12| | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 16| Initiator Task Tag | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 20| Referenced Task Tag or 0xffffffff | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 24| CmdSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 28| ExpStatSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 32| RefCmdSN or ExpDataSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 36/ Reserved / +/ / +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 48 1.1.1 Function The Task Management functions provide an initiator with a way to explicitly control the execution of one or more Tasks (SCSI and iSCSI tasks). The Task Management functions are (for a more detailed description of SCSI task management see [SAM2]): 1 ABORT TASK - aborts the task identified by the Referenced Task Tag field. 2 ABORT TASK SET - aborts all Tasks issued by this initiator on the Logical Unit. 3 CLEAR ACA - clears the Auto Contingent Allegiance condition. 4 CLEAR TASK SET - Aborts all Tasks (from all initiators) for the Logical Unit. 5 LOGICAL UNIT RESET 6 TARGET WARM RESET 7 TARGET COLD RESET 8 TASK RESUME - restart the task identified by the Referenced Task Tag field on this connection 9 TASK REPLAY - replay the task identified by the Referenced Task Tag field on this connection For all these functions, if executed, the Task Management Function Response MUST be returned using the Initiator Task Tag to identify the operation for which it is responding. All those functions apply to the referenced tasks regardless if they are proper SCSI tasks or tagged iSCSI operations. Task management commands must be executed as if all the commands having a CmdSN lower or equal to the task management CmdSN have been received by the target (i.e., have to be executed as if received for ordered delivery even when marked for immediate delivery). For all the tasks covered by the task management response (i.e., with CmdSN not higher than the task management command CmdSN), additional responses MUST NOT be delivered to the SCSI layer after the task management response. ABORT TAST Task Management Request MUST be issued on the same connection to which the task to be aborted is allegiant at the time the Task Management Request is issued if the connection is still active (it is not undergoing an implicit or explicit logout). If the connection is being implicitly or explicitly logged out and no other request will be issued on the failing connection and no other response will be received on the failing connection then an ABORT TASK Task Management request may be issued on another connection and this Task Management request will both establish a new allegiance for the command to be aborted and will abort it (i.e., a task to be aborted will not have to be reinstated, restarted or replayed and its status if issued but not acknowledged will be reissued). For the ABORT TASK task management request the target MUST NOT deliver additional responses after the task management response. Whether the initiator should deliver or not task responses while a TASK ABORT is executing but before delivering the task management response is a matter of implementation. For the LOGICAL UNIT RESET function, the target MUST behave as dictated by the Logical Unit Reset function in [SAM2]. The TARGET RESET function (WARM and COLD) implementation is OPTIONAL and when implemented should act as described below. Target Reset MAY be also subject to SCSI access controls for the requesting initiator. When not implemented or when authorization fails at target, Target Reset functions should end as if the function was executed successfully and the response qualifier will detail what was executed. For the TARGET WARM RESET and TARGET COLD RESET functions, the target cancels all pending operations and are both equivalent to the Target Reset function specified by [SAM2]. They can both affect many other initiators. In addition, for the TARGET COLD RESET the target then MUST terminate all of its TCP connections to all initiators (all sessions are terminated). For the TASK RESUME and TASK REPLAY the target should resume executing the referenced task respectively replay it completely. TASK REPLAY MUST be received by the target ONLY after the status for the command was issued. TASK RESUME MUST be received by the target ONLY after the connection on which the command was previously executing has been successfully logged-out. TASK RESUME and TASK REPLAY MUST be issued as immediate commands. 1.1.2 LUN This field is required for functions addressing a specific LU (ABORT TASK, CLEAR TASK SET, ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR ACA, LOGICAL UNIT RESET) and is reserved in all others. 1.1.3 Referenced Task Tag Initiator Task Tag of the task to be aborted, restarted or replayed 1.1.4 RefCmdSN or ExpDataSN For ABORT TASK the task CmdSN to enable task removal. If RefCmdSN does not match the CmdSN of the command to be aborted at the target The abort action MUST not be performed and the response MUST be function rejected. If the function is task resume establishing a new connection allegiance for a previously issued command, this field will contain the next consecutive input DataSN number expected by the initiator (no gaps) for the referenced command in a previous execution. 1.2 Task Management Function Response Byte / 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0|1|1| 0x22 |1| Reserved | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 4/ Reserved / / / +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 16| Initiator Task Tag | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 20| Referenced Task Tag or 0xffffffff | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 24| StatSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 28| ExpCmdSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 32| MaxCmdSN | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 36| Response | Qualifier | Reserved | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 40/ Reserved / +/ / +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 48 For the functions ABORT TASK, ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR ACA, CLEAR TASK SET, LOGICAL UNIT RESET, TARGET WARM RESET, the target performs the requested Task Management function and sends a Task Management Response back to the initiator. The target provides a Response, which may take on the following values: 0 - Function Complete 1 - Task specified in the Referenced Task Tag field was not in task set 2 - LUN does not exist 3 - Task running on a connection that was not logged-out 4 - Task failover not supported 5 - Task in progress 6 - Task replay not supported 255 Function Rejected All other values are reserved. The Qualifier field provides additional information about the Response. For a Response of "Function Complete" the valid Qualifiers are: 0 - Function Executed 1 - Not Authorized For the TARGET COLD RESET and TARGET WARM RESET functions, the target cancels all pending operations. For the TARGET COLD RESET function the target MUST then close all of its TCP connections to all initiators (terminates all sessions). The mapping of the response code into a SCSI service response code, if needed, is outside the scope of this document. 1.2.1 Referenced Task Tag Initiator Task Tag of the task not found used in conjunction with responses referring to a specific task. It MUST be set to 0xffffffff in other cases. Comments? Julo
