While trying to convert the SPI transport class to attribute groups, I
discovered that we don't actually have any transport configure points
for either the target or the host. This patch adds these missing
transport class triggers. The host one is simply done after the add,
the target one tries to be more clever and add it after devices may have
been placed on the target (so the device configure will have set up the
target parameters).

This patch is the beginning of moving the attribute_containers to use
attribute groups exclusively. The attr element is now deprecated and
will eventually be removed (along with all the hand rolled code for
doing exactly what attribute groups do) when all the consumers are
converted to attribute groups.

Hugh Dickens noticed that SMART commands issued from user space can
end up corupting memory. The problem occurs if the buffer used to
read data spans two pages. The reason is that the PIO sector routines
in libata are expecting physically contiguous pages when they do
sector operations, so the left overs on the second page go into the
next physically adjacent page rather than the next page in the sg
mapping.
Fix this by enforcing strict 512 byte alignment on all buffers from
userspace.

This patch relaxes the default SCSI DMA alignment from 512 bytes to 4
bytes. I remember from previous discussions that usb and firewire have
sector size alignment requirements, so I upped their alignments in the
respective slave allocs.
The reason for doing this is so that we don't get such a huge amount of
copy overhead in bio_copy_user() for udev. (basically all inquiries it
issues can now be directly mapped).

Based on an original patch from: David Martin <tasio@tasio.net>
When trying to get the drive status via ioctl CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, with
no disk it gives CDS_TRAY_OPEN even if the tray is closed.
ioctl works as expected with ide-cd driver.

This is bad for two reasons:
1. If they're returned to outside applications, no-one knows what
they mean.
2. Eventually they'll clash with the ever expanding standard error
codes.
The problem error code in question is ETASK. I've replaced this by
ECOMM (communications error on send) a network error code that seems to
most closely relay what ETASK meant.

Currently in BSG, errors returned in req->errors aren't passed back to
the calling programme (either via SG_IO or via read/write). Fix this,
while preserving the SCSI convention of returning status in
req->errors.
Now update libsas to return errors correctly instead of to ignore
them.

All SMP tasks sent through bsg generate messages like:
sas: smp_execute_task: task to dev 500605b000001450 response: 0x0 status 0x81
Three times (because the task gets retried). Firstly, don't retry
either overrun or underrun (the data buffer isn't going to change size)
and secondly, just report the underrun but don't set an error for it.
This is necessary so bsg can report back the residual.

zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq() checks if it is safe to access the
fsf_req associated with the erp_action that gets passed. To test if
it is safe it accesses the fsf_req in order to get its index into
the hash list. This is broken since the fsf_req might be freed already
and the read index has no meaning. It could lead to memory corruption.
Fix this by introducing a new zfcp_reqlist_find_safe() method which
just checks if addresses are equal. This is slower, but only gets
called in case of error recovery.

A target should never send us a itt that does not match a running
task. If it does we do not really know what is coming down after the header,
unless we evaluate the hdr and do some guessing sometimes. However,
even if we know what is coming we probably do not have buffers for it or we
cannot respond (if it is a r2t for example), so just drop the session.

We were using the device delete sysfs file to remove each device
then logout. Now in 2.6.21 this will not work because
the sysfs delete file returns immediately and does not wait for
the device removal to complete. This causes a hang if a cache sync
is needed during shutdown. Before .21, that approach had other
problems, so this patch fixes the shutdown code so that we remove the target
and unbind the session before logging out and shut down the session

I thought we may not need the eh mutex during host reset, but that is wrong
with the new shutdown code. When start_session_recovery sets the state to
terminate then drops the session lock. The scsi eh thread could then grab the
session lock see that we are terminating and then return failed to scsi-ml.
scsi-ml's eh then owns the command and will do whatever it wants
with it. But then the iscsi eh thread could grab the session lock
and want to complete the scsi commands that we in the LLD, but
it no longer owns them and kaboom.

iscsi_pool_init simplified
iscsi_pool_init currently has a lot of duplicate kfree() calls it does
when some allocation fails. This patch simplifies the code a little by
using iscsi_pool_free to tear down the pool in case of an error.
iscsi_pool_init also returns a copy of the item array to the caller.
Not all callers use this array, so we make it optional.
Instead of allocating a second array and return that, allocate just one
array, of twice the size.
Update users of iscsi_pool_{init,free}
This patch drops the (now useless) second argument to
iscsi_pool_free, and updates all callers.
It also removes the ctask->r2ts array, which was never
used anyway. Since the items argument to iscsi_pool_init
is now optional, we can pass NULL instead.

- The default initialization of hdr_max is the minimum -
sizeof(struct iscsi_cmd) - Once this patch goes into iser the default
initialization at libiscsi can be removed.
- This is not yet full support for AHSs at iser end. But it should be easy.
Just allocate more space at iser_desc right after iscsi_hdr. Than
at transmission time use ctask->hdr_len to retrieve the total
size of all iscsi pdu headers. See previous patch at iscsi_tcp.[ch]

at libiscsi generic code
- currently code assumes a storage space of pdu header is allocated
at llds ctask and is pointed to by iscsi_cmd_task->hdr. Here I add
a hdr_max field pertaining to that storage, and an hdr_len that
accumulates the current use of the pdu-header.
- Add an iscsi_next_hdr() inline which returns the next free space
to write new Header at. Also iscsi_next_hdr() is used to retrieve
the address at which to write the header-digest.
- Add iscsi_add_hdr(length). What the user do is calls iscsi_next_hdr()
for address of the new header, than calls iscsi_add_hdr(length) with
the size of the new header. iscsi_add_hdr() will check if space is
available and update to the new size. length must be padded according
to standard.
- Add 2 padding inline helpers thanks to Olaf. Current patch does not
use them but Following patches will.
Also moved definition of ISCSI_PAD_LEN to iscsi_proto.h which had
PAD_WORD_LEN that was never used anywhere.
- Let iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu() signal an Error return since now it is
possible that it will fail.
- I was tired of yet again writing a "this is a digest" comment next to
sizeof(__u32) so I defined a new ISCSI_DIGEST_SIZE. Now I don't need
any comments. Changed all places that used sizeof(__u32) or "4" in
connection to a digest.
iscsi_tcp specific code
- At struct iscsi_tcp_cmd_task allocate maximum space allowed in
standard for all headers following the iscsi_cmd header. and mark
it so in iscsi_tcp_session_create()
- At iscsi_send_cmd_hdr() retrieve the correct headers size and
write header digest at iscsi_next_hdr().

Controller 3/Di
As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D9133 it was
discovered that the PERC line of controllers lacked a key 64 bit
ScatterGather capable SCSI pass-through function. The adapters are still
capable of 64 bit ScatterGather I/O commands, but these two can not be
mixed. This problem was exacerbated by the introduction of the SCSI
Generic access to the DASD physical devices.
The fix for users before this patch is applied is aacraid.dacmode=3D0 on
the kernel command line to disable 64 bit I/O.
The enclosed patch introduces a new adapter quirk and tries to limp
along by enabling pass-through in situations where memory is 32 bit
addressable on 64 bit machines, or disable the pass-through functions
altogether. I expect that the check for 32 bit addressable memory to be
controversial in that it can be incorrect in non-Dell non-Intel systems
that PERC would never be installed under, the alternative is to disable
pass-through in all cases which could be reported as another regression.
Pass-through is used for SCSI Generic access to the physical devices, or
for the management applications to properly function.
In systems where this patch has disabled pass-through because it is
unsupportable in combination with I/O performance, the user can choose
to enable pass-through by turning off dacmode (aacraid.dacmode=3D0) or
limiting the discovered kernel memory (mem=3D4G) with an associated loss
in runtime performance. If we chose instead to turn off 64 bit dacmode
for the adapters with this quirk, then this would be reported as another
regression.
