c3a3b55ae8 [SCSI] ibmvscsi: Handle non SCSI error status
Adds support to the ibmvscsi driver to handle non SCSI error
status. This is needed to support some new VIOS enhancements.

b560665ce5 [SCSI] ibmvstgt: set up scsi_host properly before __scsi_alloc_queue

d3f46f39b7 [SCSI] remove use_sg_chaining
With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
there's no need to have a check in the host template.

Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
to be a power of two.

860784c8a2 [SCSI] ibmvscsi: requeue while CRQ closed
CRQ send errors that return with H_CLOSED should return with
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY until firmware alerts the client of a CRQ
transport event.  The transport event will either reinitialize and
requeue the requests or fail and return IO with DID_ERROR.

To avoid failing the eh_* functions while re-attaching to the server
adapter this will retry for a period of time while ibmvscsi_send_srp_event
returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY.

In ibmvscsi_eh_abort_handler() the loop includes the search of the
event list.  The lock on the hostdata is dropped while waiting to try
again after failing ibmvscsi_send_srp_event.  The event could have been
purged if a login was in progress when the function was called.

In ibmvscsi_eh_device_reset_handler() the loop includes the call to
get_event_struct() because a failing call to ibmvscsi_send_srp_event()
will have freed the event struct.

3c887e8a1a [SCSI] ibmvscsi: Prevent IO during partner login
By setting the request_limit in send_srp_login to 1 we allowed login
requests to be sent to the server adapter.  If this was not an initial
login, but was a login after a disconnect with the server, other I/O
requests could attempt to be processed before the login occured.  These
I/O requests would fail, sometimes resulting in filesystems getting
marked read-only.

To address this we can set the request_limit to 0 while doing the login
and add an exception where login requests, along with task management
events, are always passed to the server.

There is a case where the request_limit had already reached 0 would result
in all events being sent rather than returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY; this
has also been fixed by this patch.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

294ef16a2e [POWERPC] scsi: Constify & voidify get_property()
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc-specific scsi driver changes.

ae0fda0cdf [SCSI] ibmvscsi: handle inactive SCSI target during probe
Without this patch we register an interrupt with request_irq,
but then return a bad return code from the module probe.

cefbda2d6c [SCSI] ibmvscsi: treat busy and error conditions separately
This patch fixes a condition where ibmvscsi treats a transport error as a
"busy" condition, so no errors were returned to the scsi mid-layer.
In a RAID environment this means that I/O hung rather than failing
over.
