This patch contains the needed changes to the scsi-ml for the target
mode support.
Note, per the last review we moved almost all the fields we added
to the scsi_cmnd to our internal data structure which we are going
to try and kill off when we can replace it with support from other
parts of the kernel.
The one field we left on was the offset variable. This is needed to handle
the case where the target gets request that is so large that it cannot
execute it in one dma operation. So max_secotors or a segment limit may
limit the size of the transfer. In this case our tgt core code will
break up the command into managable transfers and send them to the
LLD one at a time. The offset is then used to tell the LLD where in
the command we are at. Is there another field on the scsi_cmd for
that?

I wanted to add some BUG checks to scsi_prep_fn to make sure no one
sends us a non-sg command, but this function is a horrible mess.
So I decided to detangle the function and document what the valid
cases are. While doing that I found that REQ_TYPE_SPECIAL commands
aren't used by the SCSI layer anymore and we can get rid of the code
handling them.
The new structure of scsi_prep_fn is:
(1) check if we're allowed to send this command
(2) big switch on cmd_type. For the two valid types call into
a function to set the command up, else error
(3) code to handle error cases
Because FS and BLOCK_PC commands are handled entirely separate after
the patch this introduces a tiny amount of code duplication. This
improves readabiulity though and will help to avoid the bidi command
overhead for FS commands so it's a good thing.
I've tested this on both sata and mptsas.

Currently struct scsi_cmnd has various fields that are used to backup
original data after the corresponding fields have been overridden for
EH commands. This means drivers can easily get at it and misuse it.
Due to the old_ naming this doesn't happen for most of them, but two
that have different names have been used wrong a lot (see previous
patch). Another downside is that they unessecarily bloat the scsi_cmnd
size.
This patch moves them onstack in scsi_send_eh_cmnd to fix those two

If a device gets offlined as a result of the Inquiry sent
during scanning, the following oops can occur. After the
disk gets put into the SDEV_OFFLINE state, the error handler
sends back the failed inquiry, which wakes the thread doing
the scan. This starts a race between the scanning thread
freeing the scsi device and the error handler calling
scsi_run_host_queues to restart the host. Since the disk
is in the SDEV_OFFLINE state, scsi_device_get will still
work, which results in __scsi_iterate_devices getting
a reference to the scsi disk when it shouldn't.
The following execution thread causes the oops:
CPU 0 (scan) CPU 1 (eh)
---------------------------------------------------------
scsi_probe_and_add_lun

scsi_eh_offline_sdevs

scsi_run_host_queues
__scsi_iterate_devices
get_device
scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext

The patch fixes this by changing the state of the sdev to SDEV_DEL
before doing the final put_device, which should prevent the race
from occurring.

This patch simplifies "good_bytes" computation in sd_rw_intr().
sd: "good_bytes" computation is always done in terms of the resolution
of the device's medium, since after that it is the number of good bytes
we pass around and other layers/contexts (as opposed ot sd) can translate
that to their own resolution (block layer:512). It also makes
scsi_io_completion() processing more straightforward, eliminating the
3rd argument to the function.
It also fixes a couple of bugs like not checking return value,
using "break" instead of "return;", etc.

In short, SCSI host is not supposed to know about exceptions unrelated
to specific device or command. Such exceptions should be handled by

The current dc395x driver uses PIO to transfer up to 4 bytes which do not
get transferred by DMA (under unclear circumstances). For this the driver
uses page_address() which is broken on highmem. Apart from this the
actual calculation of the virtual address is wrong (even without highmem).
So, e.g., for reading it reads bytes from the driver to a wrong address
and returns wrong data, I guess, for writing it would just output random
data to the device.
The proper fix, as suggested by many, is to dynamically map data using
kmap_atomic(page, KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ) / kunmap_atomic(virt). The reason why it
has not been done until now, although I've done some preliminary patches
more than a year ago was that nobody interested in fixing this problem was
able to reliably reproduce it. Now it changed - with the help from
Sebastian Frei (CC'ed) I was able to trigger the PIO path. Thus, I was
also able to test and debug it.
There are 4 cases when PIO is used in dc395x - data-in / -out with and
without scatter-gather. I was able to reproduce and test only data-in with
and without SG. So, the data-out path is still untested, but it is also
somewhat simpler than the data-in. Fredrik Roubert (also CC'ed) also had
PIO triggering on his system, and in his case it was data-out without SG.
It would be great if he could test the attached patch on his system, but
even if he cannot, I would still request to apply the patch and just wait
if anybody cries...
Implementation: I put 2 new functions in scsi_lib.c and their declarations
in scsi_cmnd.h. I exported them without _GPL, although, I don't feel
strongly about that - not many drivers are likely to use them. But there
is at least one more - I want to use them in tmscsim.c. Whether these are
the right files for the functions and their declarations - not sure
either. Actually, they are not scsi-specific, so, might go somewhere
around other scattergather magic? They are not platform specific either,
and most SG functions are defined under arch/*/... As these issues were
discussed previously there were some more routines suggested to manipulate
scattergather buffers, I think, some of them were needed around
crypto code... So, might be a common place reasonable, like
lib/scattergather.c? I am open here.

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.
This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it. Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously. The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through

guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len

for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the
same uptodate argument used in the last call to
end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also
help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait
needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests
- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.
Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

Add kmemcache of scsi io contexts.
In the future when we finalize on where these functions will live
we can add a mempool for it and do a bioset for out REQ_BLOCK_PC
bios. This is needed becuase the dm-multipath handlers will
want to use the scsi_exectute* functions for failover and we cannot
have them and the bio device allocating from the same mempool.

sd does not allow scsi_io_completion to retry commands for
SG_IO requests, and it make sense that it should not happen for st
SG_IO commands too. If for st we hit the bottom of scsi_io_completion
we will probably screw things up pretty bad. This patch returns to the
block layer that the whole command completed and relies on the caller to check
the request errors field. For initialization commands like in sd, this adds
the previous behavior where scsi_io_completion did not process the error.

For tape we need to control the retries. This patch adds a retries
counter on the request for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands originating from
scsi_execute* to use. REQ_BLOCK_PC commands comming from the block
layer SG_IO path continue to use the retires set in the ULD init_command.
(scsi_execute* does not set the gendisk so we do not execute
the init_command in that path).

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

This follows on from Jens' patch and consolidates all of the ULD
separate handlers for REQ_BLOCK_PC into a single call which has his
fix for our direction bug.

This reverts commit 1b0997f561, which in
turn reverted 34ea80ec6a (which is thus
re-instated).
Quoth James Bottomley:
"All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method. In both
cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
(wrongly) was valid from atomic context."
who also promised to fix scsi_reap_target().

The scsi_library routines don't correctly set DMA_NONE when
req->data_len is zero (instead they check the command type first, so
if it's write, we end up with req->data_len == 0 and direction as
DMA_TO_DEVICE which confuses some drivers)

This reverts commit 34ea80ec6a.
It does a put_device() from softirq context, which is bad since it gets
a semaphore for reading.
