We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the
reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild
them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were
odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be
torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the
rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the
rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport),
or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find
the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver
forgets).
It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly.
When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then
added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the
temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded).
Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making
the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport
handle the block/unblock.
So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock
functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the
fc_remote_port_add/delete functions. Updates for the lpfc driver are
included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the
contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are
relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does
not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does
not use the block/unblock functions.
One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is
concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical
disappearance. However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are
not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an
interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and
xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the
rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it
first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always
been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers
already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple
validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched.
To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready()
was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two
routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result
which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also
creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes
are occuring.

New dev_printk wrappers, which allow us to shrink code, and
eliminate direct references to host/channel/id/lun members:
scmd_printk()
Introduce wrappers for highly common idioms, which may also help us
eliminate some ->{channel,id} references in the future:
{scmd,sdev}_id()
{scmd,sdev}_channel()
The scmd_* wrappers are present in scsi/scsi_device.h because they all
employ the dereference chain cmd->device->$member. We would prefer to
use static inline functions rather than macros, but that would have a

Add a flag to mark a PHY as attached to the HBA as opposed to beeing on
an expander. This is needed because various features are only supported
on those. This is a crude hack, the proper fix would be to use
different classes for host-attached vs expander phys. I'm looking into
that.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

Patch from Todd Poynor
Add symbols for PXA2xx PWRMODE register M field that selects low-power
mode, replace unadorned constants. Honor power mode parameter of
pxa_cpu_suspend(mode), no longer force to 3 (sleep). Full Deep Sleep
low-power mode support for PXA27x is pending generic PM interfaces to
select more than 2 suspend-to-RAM-style power modes, but this is
expected soon. This can be hardcoded in the meantime by replacing the
pxa_cpu_suspend() parameter value. From David Burrage and Todd Poynor.
Try #2 removes one of the register copies and moves the code to save the
pxa_cpu_suspend parameter to immediately surround the call that requires
the parameter value be preserved.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.
