Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told
explicitly how to handle the I/O. The controller has no knowledge of
the protection capabilities of the target device so this information
must be passed in the scsi_cmnd.
- The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or
verify protection information.
- The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
formatted with. This is necessary because the controller must be
able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
order to verify it.
- When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in
progress.
- prot_op and prot_type are placed in an existing hole in scsi_cmnd
and don't cause the structure to grow.

Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),
do need some special handling for
1. Activating the passive path of the storage access.
2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.
As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.
Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.

- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
could function without a request attached. So clean that up.
- Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.
- Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
and is reflected in the patch below is.
MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
as per the SCSI standard and is not related
to the implementation.
BLK_MAX_CDB. - The allocated space at the request level
- I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.
(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

The problem is that serveral drivers are sending a target reset from the
device reset handler, and if we have multiple devices a target reset gets
sent for each device when only one would be sufficient. And if we do a target
reset it affects all the commands on the target so the device reset handler
code only cleaning up one devices's commands makes programming the driver a
little more difficult than it should be.
This patch adds a target reset handler, which drivers can use to send
a target reset. If successful it cleans up the commands for a devices
accessed through that starget.

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

This reverts commit ac40532ef0, which gets
us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283.
It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was
apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the
testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it.
The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund:
"pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd
device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is
nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a
CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".)
The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode
when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is
run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device,
blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because
bdev->bd_openers is non-zero."
In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit
6f5391c283 is applied or not):
" 1. Start with an empty drive.
2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0
3. Insert a CD containing an isofs filesystem.
4. mount /dev/pktcdvd/0 /mnt/tmp
5. umount /mnt/tmp
6. Press the eject button.
7. Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem.
8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp
9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null
10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you
get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of
"attempt to access beyond end of device" errors."
which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't
cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds
the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have
other people holding the device open).
The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like
bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9;
in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the
original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also
change the block size of the device).

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use
alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not
updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total
grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got.
Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up
in the sense buffer.
Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can
end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If
the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued
by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will
spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers
are on sparc64:
default:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name);
__scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd);
scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr);
err = -EIO;

shost->host_eh_scheduled to implement such behavior.
Currently the only user of this feature is libata and no general
interface is defined. This patch simply adds handling for
host_eh_scheduled where needed and exports scsi_eh_wakeup() to
modules. The rest is upto libata. This is the result of the
following discussion.

In short, SCSI host is not supposed to know about exceptions unrelated
to specific device or command. Such exceptions should be handled by
transport layer proper. However, the distinction is not essential to
ATA and libata is planning to depart from SCSI, so, for the time
being, libata will be using SCSI EH to handle such exceptions.

Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.
Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.
