SCSI_VU_ERRMSG(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers SCSI_VU_ERRMSG(9F)


NAME


scsi_vu_errmsg - display a SCSI request sense message

SYNOPSIS


#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>


void scsi_vu_errmsg(struct scsi_pkt *pktp, char *drv_name, int severity,
int err_blkno, struct scsi_key_strings *cmdlist,
struct scsi_extended_sense *sensep,
struct scsi_asq_key_strings *asc_list,
char **decode_fru struct scsi_device*, char *, int, char);


INTERFACE LEVEL


illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS


The following parameters are supported:

devp
Pointer to the scsi_device(9S) structure.


pktp
Pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.


drv_name
String used by scsi_log(9F).


severity
Error severity level, maps to severity strings below.


blkno
Requested block number.


err_blkno
Error block number.


cmdlist
An array of SCSI command description strings.


sensep
A pointer to a scsi_extended_sense(9S) structure.


asc_list
A pointer to a array of asc and ascq message list.The list
must be terminated with -1 asc value.


decode_fru
This is a function pointer that will be called after the
entire sense information has been decoded. The parameters
will be the scsi_device structure to identify the device.
Second argument will be a pointer to a buffer of length
specified by third argument. The fourth argument will be
the FRU byte. decode_fru might be NULL if no special
decoding is required. decode_fru is expected to return
pointer to a char string if decoding possible and NULL if
no decoding is possible.


DESCRIPTION


This function is very similar to scsi_errmsg(9F) but allows decoding of
vendor-unique ASC/ASCQ and FRU information.


The scsi_vu_errmsg() function interprets the request sense information in
the sensep pointer and generates a standard message that is displayed
using scsi_log(9F). It first searches the list array for a matching
vendor unique code if supplied. If it does not find one in the list then
the standard list is searched. The first line of the message is always a
CE_WARN, with the continuation lines being CE_CONT. sensep may be NULL,
in which case no sense key or vendor information is displayed.


The driver should make the determination as to when to call this function
based on the severity of the failure and the severity level that the
driver wants to report.


The scsi_device(9S) structure denoted by devp supplies the identification
of the device that requested the display. severity selects which string
is used in the Error Level: reporting, according to the table below:

Severity Value: String:
SCSI_ERR_ALL All
SCSI_ERR_UNKNOWN Unknown
SCSI_ERR_INFO Information
SCSI_ERR_RECOVERED Recovered
SCSI_ERR_RETRYABLE Retryable
SCSI_ERR_FATAL Fatal


blkno is the block number of the original request that generated the
error. err_blkno is the block number where the error occurred. cmdlist
is a mapping table for translating the SCSI command code in pktp to the
actual command string.


The cmdlist is described in the structure below:

struct scsi_key_strings {
int key;
char *message;
};


For a basic SCSI disk, the following list is appropriate:

static struct scsi_key_strings scsi_cmds[] = {
0x00, "test unit ready",
0x01, "rezero/rewind",
0x03, "request sense",
0x04, "format",
0x07, "reassign",
0x08, "read",
0x0a, "write",
0x0b, "seek",
0x12, "inquiry",
0x15, "mode select",
0x16, "reserve",
0x17, "release",
0x18, "copy",
0x1a, "mode sense",
0x1b, "start/stop",
0x1e, "door lock",
0x28, "read(10)",
0x2a, "write(10)",
0x2f, "verify",
0x37, "read defect data",
0x3b, "write buffer",
-1, NULL
};


CONTEXT


The scsi_vu_errmsg() function may be called from user, interrupt, or
kernel context.

EXAMPLES


Example 1: Using scsi_vu_errmsg()



struct scsi_asq_key_strings cd_slist[] = {
0x81, 0, "Logical Unit is inaccessible",
-1, 0, NULL,
};


scsi_vu_errmsg(devp, pkt, "sd",
SCSI_ERR_INFO, bp->b_blkno, err_blkno,
sd_cmds, rqsense, cd_list,
my_decode_fru);


This generates the following console warning:


WARNING: /sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,800000/sd@1,0 (sd1):
Error for Command: read Error Level: Informational
Requested Block: 23936 Error Block: 23936
Vendor: XYZ Serial Number: 123456
Sense Key: Unit Attention
ASC: 0x81 (Logical Unit is inaccessible), ASCQ: 0x0
FRU: 0x11 (replace LUN 1, located in slot 1)
