[PATCH v2] ieee1275: obdisk driver

Add a new disk driver called obdisk for IEEE1275 platforms. Currently
the only platform using this disk driver is SPARC, however other IEEE1275
platforms could start using it if they so choose. While the functionality
within the current IEEE1275 ofdisk driver may be suitable for PPC and x86, it
presented too many problems on SPARC hardware.

Within the old ofdisk, there is not a way to determine the true canonical
name for the disk. Within Open Boot, the same disk can have multiple names
but all reference the same disk. For example the same disk can be referenced
by its SAS WWN, using this form:

/***@302/***@2/***@0/***@17/LSI,***@0/***@w5000cca02f037d6d,0

It can also be referenced by its PHY identifier using this form:

/***@302/***@2/***@0/***@17/LSI,***@0/***@p0

It can also be referenced by its Target identifier using this form:

/***@302/***@2/***@0/***@17/LSI,***@0/***@0

Also, when the LUN=0, it is legal to omit the ,0 from the device name. So with
the disk above, before taking into account the device aliases, there are 6 ways
to reference the same disk.

Then it is possible to have 0 .. n device aliases all representing the same disk.
Within this new driver the true canonical name is determined using the the
IEEE1275 encode-unit and decode-unit commands when address_cells == 4. This
will determine the true single canonical name for the device so multiple ihandles
are not opened for the same device. This is what frequently happens with the old
ofdisk driver. With some devices when they are opened multiple times it causes
the entire system to hang.

Another problem solved with this driver is devices that do not have a device
alias can be booted and used within GRUB. Within the old ofdisk, this was not
possible, unless it was the original boot device. All devices behind a SAS
or SCSI parent can be found. Within the old ofdisk, finding these disks
relied on there being an alias defined. The alias requirement is not
necessary with this new driver. It can also find devices behind a parent
after they have been hot-plugged. This is something that is not possible
with the old ofdisk driver.

The old ofdisk driver also incorrectly assumes that the device pointing to by a
device alias is in its true canonical form. This assumption is never made with
this new driver.

Another issue solved with this driver is that it properly caches the ihandle
for all open devices. The old ofdisk tries to do this by caching the last
opened ihandle. However this does not work properly because the layer above
does not use a consistent device name for the same disk when calling into the
driver. This is because the upper layer uses the bootpath value returned within
/chosen, other times it uses the device alias, and other times it uses the
value within grub.cfg. It does not have a way to figure out that these devices
are the same disk. This is not a problem with this new driver.

Due to the way GRUB repeatedly opens and closes the same disk. Caching the
ihandle is important on SPARC. Without caching, some SAS devices can take
15 - 20 minutes to get to the GRUB menu. This ihandle caching is not possible
without correctly having the canonical disk name.

When available, this driver also tries to use the deblocker #blocks and
a way of determining the disk size.

Finally and probably most importantly, this new driver is also capable of
seeing all partitions on a GPT disk. With the old driver, the GPT
partition table can not be read and only the first partition on the disk
can be seen.

Post by Eric Snowberg
Add a new disk driver called obdisk for IEEE1275 platforms. Currently
the only platform using this disk driver is SPARC, however other IEEE1275
platforms could start using it if they so choose. While the functionality
within the current IEEE1275 ofdisk driver may be suitable for PPC and x86, it
presented too many problems on SPARC hardware.
Within the old ofdisk, there is not a way to determine the true canonical
name for the disk. Within Open Boot, the same disk can have multiple names
but all reference the same disk. For example the same disk can be referenced
Also, when the LUN=0, it is legal to omit the ,0 from the device name. So with
the disk above, before taking into account the device aliases, there are 6 ways
to reference the same disk.
Then it is possible to have 0 .. n device aliases all representing the same disk.
Within this new driver the true canonical name is determined using the the
IEEE1275 encode-unit and decode-unit commands when address_cells == 4. This
will determine the true single canonical name for the device so multiple ihandles
are not opened for the same device. This is what frequently happens with the old
ofdisk driver. With some devices when they are opened multiple times it causes
the entire system to hang.
Another problem solved with this driver is devices that do not have a device
alias can be booted and used within GRUB. Within the old ofdisk, this was not
possible, unless it was the original boot device. All devices behind a SAS
or SCSI parent can be found. Within the old ofdisk, finding these disks
relied on there being an alias defined. The alias requirement is not
necessary with this new driver. It can also find devices behind a parent
after they have been hot-plugged. This is something that is not possible
with the old ofdisk driver.
The old ofdisk driver also incorrectly assumes that the device pointing to by a
device alias is in its true canonical form. This assumption is never made with
this new driver.
Another issue solved with this driver is that it properly caches the ihandle
for all open devices. The old ofdisk tries to do this by caching the last
opened ihandle. However this does not work properly because the layer above
does not use a consistent device name for the same disk when calling into the
driver. This is because the upper layer uses the bootpath value returned within
/chosen, other times it uses the device alias, and other times it uses the
value within grub.cfg. It does not have a way to figure out that these devices
are the same disk. This is not a problem with this new driver.
Due to the way GRUB repeatedly opens and closes the same disk. Caching the
ihandle is important on SPARC. Without caching, some SAS devices can take
15 - 20 minutes to get to the GRUB menu. This ihandle caching is not possible
without correctly having the canonical disk name.
When available, this driver also tries to use the deblocker #blocks and
a way of determining the disk size.
Finally and probably most importantly, this new driver is also capable of
seeing all partitions on a GPT disk. With the old driver, the GPT
partition table can not be read and only the first partition on the disk
can be seen.

I saw that you have decided to use "src == NULL". Great! So, I would
expect that in cases like that you use "sptr != NULL". Could you fix
that here and below. Same applies to 0 comparison.

I am confused by this play with commas. Could explain somewhere
where this commas are needed unescaped, escaped, replaced, etc.
Could not we simplify this somehow?

If all of this functions are really needed I would put them in
that order in the file: escape_commas(), replace_escaped_commas(),
and finally count_commas().

I have a feeling that you assume that grub_ieee1275_get_integer_property()
does not touch address_cells if it fails. I think that it is dangerous. Hence,
I would check for error and if it happens then assign 2 to address_cells.

I would drop all these 0/NULL initializations.
Compiler will do work for you. I asked about
that in earlier comments.
Not sure about that though. I seem to remember that newer gcc versions
were quite nitpicky about that when building with -Werror and I had
to add a NULL initialization to get it to build.

If this is true I am not going to insist. Sadly I have asked about
that in the earlier comments and I have not seen any reply WRT nor
changes to the code. So, that is why I am repeating my question.

Post by Eric Snowberg
Add a new disk driver called obdisk for IEEE1275 platforms. Currently
the only platform using this disk driver is SPARC, however other IEEE1275
platforms could start using it if they so choose. While the functionality
within the current IEEE1275 ofdisk driver may be suitable for PPC and x86, it
presented too many problems on SPARC hardware.
Within the old ofdisk, there is not a way to determine the true canonical
name for the disk. Within Open Boot, the same disk can have multiple names
but all reference the same disk. For example the same disk can be referenced
Also, when the LUN=0, it is legal to omit the ,0 from the device name. So with
the disk above, before taking into account the device aliases, there are 6 ways
to reference the same disk.
Then it is possible to have 0 .. n device aliases all representing the same disk.
Within this new driver the true canonical name is determined using the the
IEEE1275 encode-unit and decode-unit commands when address_cells == 4. This
will determine the true single canonical name for the device so multiple ihandles
are not opened for the same device. This is what frequently happens with the old
ofdisk driver. With some devices when they are opened multiple times it causes
the entire system to hang.
Another problem solved with this driver is devices that do not have a device
alias can be booted and used within GRUB. Within the old ofdisk, this was not
possible, unless it was the original boot device. All devices behind a SAS
or SCSI parent can be found. Within the old ofdisk, finding these disks
relied on there being an alias defined. The alias requirement is not
necessary with this new driver. It can also find devices behind a parent
after they have been hot-plugged. This is something that is not possible
with the old ofdisk driver.
The old ofdisk driver also incorrectly assumes that the device pointing to by a
device alias is in its true canonical form. This assumption is never made with
this new driver.
Another issue solved with this driver is that it properly caches the ihandle
for all open devices. The old ofdisk tries to do this by caching the last
opened ihandle. However this does not work properly because the layer above
does not use a consistent device name for the same disk when calling into the
driver. This is because the upper layer uses the bootpath value returned within
/chosen, other times it uses the device alias, and other times it uses the
value within grub.cfg. It does not have a way to figure out that these devices
are the same disk. This is not a problem with this new driver.
Due to the way GRUB repeatedly opens and closes the same disk. Caching the
ihandle is important on SPARC. Without caching, some SAS devices can take
15 - 20 minutes to get to the GRUB menu. This ihandle caching is not possible
without correctly having the canonical disk name.
When available, this driver also tries to use the deblocker #blocks and
a way of determining the disk size.
Finally and probably most importantly, this new driver is also capable of
seeing all partitions on a GPT disk. With the old driver, the GPT
partition table can not be read and only the first partition on the disk
can be seen.

I am confused by this play with commas. Could explain somewhere
where this commas are needed unescaped, escaped, replaced, etc.
Could not we simplify this somehow?
I’m open for recommendations.

If all of this functions are really needed I would put them in
that order in the file: escape_commas(), replace_escaped_commas(),
and finally count_commas().
Ok, I’ll change the order in the file.

I have a feeling that you assume that grub_ieee1275_get_integer_property()

dev will always be equal to NULL in that case so nothing would happen other than the error being printed. But I supposed it would be better to have a final “else" after the "else if" and set ret = grub_error with GRUB_ERR_BAD_DEVICE.

Why?
Many SPARC disks contain a comma within the name. Code from various layers above this driver handle the comma differently. At times they will strip everything to the right of the comma. The solution I came up with here is self contained and will not impact generic grub2 code. So far it seems to work from all reports I've seen.
Post by Daniel Kiper
In general I am happy with the changes. However, some
my comments for earlier version are still not addressed.
Please take a look at it and incorporate them. If you do
not agree with something just drop me a line.

It really is a close as far as the grub driver is concerned
(grub_disk_dev). If you insist I’ll change it, but naming it clear
doesn't make sense to me.
If similar functions in other drivers do just memset() or so and they
are named *close* then I am not going to insist. If it is not true then
I will ask you to do that change.

Why?
Many SPARC disks contain a comma within the name. Code from various
layers above this driver handle the comma differently. At times they
will strip everything to the right of the comma. The solution I came
up with here is self contained and will not impact generic grub2 code.
So far it seems to work from all reports I've seen.
Great! Though I have feeling that there is still room for some
optimizations. At least we should try to do it...

Under normal circumstances it only takes place once per disk as they are enumerated. All disks are cached within this driver so it should not happen often. That is why I store both versions so I don’t have to go back and forth. Look at the current driver ofdisk. It has a function called compute_dev_path which does this conversion on every single open (grub_ofdisk_open). That does not happen with this new driver. IMHO this is a much more optimized solution than the current driver.

This goes much further than the command line. For example, it is built right into the disk driver. Look at grub-core/kern/disk.c: 544

When the obdisk driver discovers a disk, it must put the disk name in the proper format. Otherwise when grub_disk_open takes place later on, the wrong disk name will eventually get sent back to the obdisk driver.

Including why it is needed. And replace_escaped_commas() should be

OK but this is not clear. So, please add a comment explaining it in

Ok

how often this conversions must be done, why you have chosen that
solution, etc. Then I will try to optimize solution a bit.
Under normal circumstances it only takes place once per disk as they
are enumerated. All disks are cached within this driver so it should
not happen often. That is why I store both versions so I don’t have
to go back and forth. Look at the current driver ofdisk. It has a
function called compute_dev_path which does this conversion on every
single open (grub_ofdisk_open). That does not happen with this new
driver. IMHO this is a much more optimized solution than the current
driver.
Then OK. However, this have to be explained somewhere in the code.
Additionally, I think that proper variable naming would help too,
- s/decode_grub_devname/unescape_grub_devnam/,
- s/encode_grub_devname/escape_grub_devname/,
- extract unscaping code to the unescape_commas() function;
even if it is called once; just for the completeness.

What is replace_escaped_commas()? Why do we need that function?
It is a convenience function for the end-user, so they can access a
disk without having to understand all this escaping when they want to
use one thru the shell.
I think that this will introduce more confusion. I would like that
escaping of drive paths should be properly explained in GRUB docs.
Including why it is needed. And replace_escaped_commas() should be
dropped.
The confusion seems to be around what needs to be escaped and what doesn’t, as can be seen from the discussion within this email. This change makes it convenient for the end-user, since they will not need to understand any of this.

When function grub_obdisk_iterate (defined as .iterate within grub_disk_dev) gets called, it returns the disks the driver controls. As explained within the description of this patch, a single IEEE1275 disk can have over 6 names. When the .iterate function is called, only a single drive can be returned. If the disk that is to be returned contains \\, within the name, they are replaced with __. Then for example, the end-user will see something like this following a ls:

grub> ls
(ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0__0) (ieee1275//***@308/pc
***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0__0,gpt1) (ieee1275//***@306/***@1/***@0
/***@0__0) (ieee1275//***@306/***@1/***@0/***@0__0,gpt3) (ieee1275//pc
***@306/***@1/***@0/***@0__0,gpt2) (ieee1275//***@306/***@1/***@0/
***@0__0,gpt1)

The end-user can now type the disk name exactly as it is returned on the screen. Or they can escape any of the real disk names properly and the driver will understand it is the same disk. Do you really want this removed?

I don’t believe you have escaped the name properly above. Unless you

I think that it is correct. If you use one '\' then after shell
processing you will get

(ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0,0)

or

(ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0,0,gpt1)

And I suppose that this is not what you want. So, you need two '\'.
This way the layer below will get after shell processing

(ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0\,0)

or

(ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0\,0,gpt1)

Then new driver should get

ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0,0

or

ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0\,0

if you really need escaped ',' in the path. However, I do not think so.
It seems to me that OF expects ',' as ','. Hence, I have a feeling that
we can reduce number of escaping/unescaping in the driver.

Am I right?

processing you will get

if you really need escaped ',' in the path.
For obdisk devices that are displayed thru the shell, I didn't want the escaped ‘,’ in the path. But you rejected my change that substituted it with __ instead. Therefore we are left with making this work with code above obdisk without changing it.

However, I do not think so.
It seems to me that OF expects ',' as ','. Hence, I have a feeling that
we can reduce number of escaping/unescaping in the driver.
Am I right?
No.

The driver provides the name of the device which is displayed in the shell. It must be in a format that will allow it to get back to the driver at a later time. If a ‘,’ is in the name, it must be escaped. Otherwise the code above the driver will trim off everything to the right of the ‘,’. Then the driver will be sent a device name that does not exist.

For example with this device:
/***@306/***@1/LSI,***@0/***@0,0,gpt3

If the ‘,’ is not escaped properly, either (obdisk or ofdisk) will be sent an open to device: /***@306/***@1/LSI. The upper level code will think everything to the right of the ‘,’ is the partition. Once the driver receives this open, it will fail, since it isn’t a valid device.

So, AIUI, the driver has to use device paths with escaped ',', e.g.

ieee1275//***@308/***@1/***@0/***@1/***@3/***@0\,0

I am OK with that.

Though we should think how to display such paths. We can show them as is
without additional escaping. And right now I think that it is preferred
form. Even GRUB doc shows paths with ',' that way. I know that then
user cannot just copy-and-paste the device path. However, I think that
we should update the doc in relevant place and say that he/she has to
take care about special characters for GRUB2 shell like '\' because shell
will eat them. So, they have to be properly escaped. This way everything
will be in line with common GRUB2 shell escaping rules and we will not
introduce exceptions which may make confusion in the future.
