d327d08232 [SCSI] 3ware 9000: handle use_sg != 0 for emulated commands
The attached patch updates the driver for the 3ware 9000 series to do
the following:

- Correctly handle single sgl's with use_sg = 1.

This is needed with the latest scsi-block-2.6 merge otherwise the 3w-9xxx
driver will not work.  I tested the patch James sent a few weeks back to fix
this, and it had a bug where the request_buffer was accessed in
twa_scsiop_execute_scsi_complete() when it was invalid.  This is a corrected
variation of that patch.

c7ebbbce36 [SCSI] SAS transport class
The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.

In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects:  The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device.  Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.

There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.

This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission.  In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.

I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
of course very welcome.

I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
design.

1c8e71d720 [SCSI] sg: do not set VM_IO flag on mmap-ed pages
Further to the problem discussed in this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112540053711489&w=2

It seems that the sg driver does not need to set the VM_IO flag
on pages that it memory maps to the user space since they are
not from the IO space. Ahmed Teirelbar <ahmed.teirelbar@adic.com>
wants the facility and has tested this patch as I have without
adverse effects.

The oops protection is still important. Some users really did
try and use dio transfers from the sg driver to memory mapped
IO space (on a video capture card if my memory serves) during the
lk 2.4 series. I'm not sure how successful it was but that will
now be politely refused in lk 2.6.13+ .

Changelog:
   - set the page flags for sg's reserved buffer mmap-ed
     to the user space to VM_RESERVED (rather than
     VM_RESERVED | VM_IO )

788ce43aa1 [SCSI] SCSI core: fix leakage of scsi_cmnd's
Actually, just one problem and one cosmetic fix:

1) We need to dequeue for the loop and kill case (it seems easiest
simply to dequeue in the scsi_kill_request() routine)
2) There's no real need to drop the queue lock.  __scsi_done() is lock
agnostic, so since there's no requirement, let's just leave it in to
avoid any locking issues.

e91442b635 [SCSI] SCSI core: fix leakage of scsi_cmnd's
From: 	Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

This patch (as559b) adds a new routine, scsi_unprep_request, which
gets called every place a request is requeued.  (That includes
scsi_queue_insert as well as scsi_requeue_command.)  It also changes
scsi_kill_requests to make it call __scsi_done with result equal to
DID_NO_CONNECT << 16.  (I'm not sure if it's necessary to call
scsi_init_cmd_errh here; maybe you can check on that.)  Finally, the
patch changes the return value from scsi_end_request, to avoid
returning a stale pointer in the case where the request was requeued.
Fortunately the return value is used in only place, and the change
actually simplified it.

286f3e13a1 [SCSI] fix possible deadlock in scsi_lib.c
If a filesystem, while writing out data, decides that it is good
to issue a cache flush on a SCSI drive (or other 'sd' device), it will
call blkdev_issue_flush which calls ->issue_flush_fn which is
scsi_issue_flush_fn.
This calls sd_issue_flush which calls sd_sync_cache, which calls
scsi_execute_request.
This will (as sshdr != NULL) call
    kmalloc(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, GFP_KERNEL)

If memory is tight, the presence of GFP_KERNEL may cause write
requests to be sent to some filesystem to free up memory, however if
that filesystem is waiting for the issue_flush_fn to complete, you
could get a deadlock.

I wonder if it might be more appropriate to use GFP_NOIO as in the
following patch.

I wonder if it might be even more appropriate to cope better with a
kmalloc failure, especially as in this use, sd_sync_cache only will
use the sense information to print out a more informative error
message.

This patch (as543) adds a private entry point to scsi_scan_target, for use

it acquire the scan_mutex, necessary since the routine adds a new

7da7931283 [PATCH] libata: fix pio_mask values (take 2)
ata_get_mode_mask() uses bits 3 and 4 in the pio_mask to represent PIO
modes 3 and 4.  The value read from the drive, which reports support
for PIO3 and PIO4 in bits 0 and 1, is shifted left by 3 bits and OR'd
with 0x7 (which then corresponds to PIO 2-0 in libata).  Thus, the
drivers below need adjustments to comply with the way pio_mask is
used.  I changed the masks from the commented values to all support
PIO4-0, since the spec mandates that PIO0-2 are supported and there's
no reason not to support PIO3 IMO.

3173d8c342 [SCSI] quieten messages on scsi_execute commands
scsi_io_completion() can be a bit noisy about certain conditions.
Previously this wasn't a problem for internally generated commands,
since they never hit it.  However, since we do all SCSI commands via
bios, now they do.  user CD testers like magicdev are now getting not
ready messages every time they touch the CD to see if there's anything
in it.

Fix this by making all scsi_execute commands REQ_QUIET and making
scsi_finish_io() not say anything for REQ_QUIET.

4451e47262 [SCSI] sd: pause in sd_spinup_disk for slow USB devices
This patch adds a delay tailored for USB flash devices that are slow to
initialize their firmware.  The symptom is a repeated Unit Attention with
ASC=0x28 (Not Ready to Ready transition).  The patch will wait for up to 5
seconds for such devices to become ready.  Normal devices won't send the
repeated Unit Attention sense key and hence won't trigger the patch.

This fixes a problem with James Roberts-Thomson's USB device, and I've
seen several reports of other devices exhibiting the same symptoms --
presumably they will be helped as well.

e47373ec1c [SCSI] return success after retries in scsi_eh_tur
The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to
tell whether error recovery has succeeded.  The scsi_eh_tur function
gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more
error recovery is needed.

However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed
when in fact error recovery has succeeded.  A typical example might be
SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready).  The mere
fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate
that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery.

I ran across a case back in January where this happened.  A CD-ROM drive
timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage.
But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning
up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline.
If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would
have worked okay.  It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just
because the error handler had started running.

This was noticed by Doug Bazamic and the fix found by Mark Salyzyn at
Adaptec.

There was an error in the BUG_ON() statement that validated the
calculated fib size which can cause the driver to panic.

deb92b7ee9 [SCSI] sg direct io/mmap oops, st sync
This patch adopts the same solution as proposed by Kai M. in
a post titled: "[PATCH] SCSI tape signed/unsigned fix".
The fix is in a function that the sg driver borrowed from
the st driver so its maintenance is a little easier if
the functions remain the same after the fix.

   - change nr_pages type from unsigned to signed so errors
     from get_user_pages() call are properly handled

07542b8323 This patch fixes in st.c the bug in the signed/unsigned int comparison
reported by Doug Gilbert and fixed by him in sg.c (see [PATCH] sg direct
io/mmap oops). Doug fixed the comparison in sg.c. This fix for st.c does not
touch the comparison but makes both arguments signed to remove the
problem. The new code is adapted from linux/fs/bio.c.
