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

A problem exists todayin the sg driver that if an SG_IO request is
outstanding to a device when it is removed from the system. The
system may oops if that command completes later in time.
1. sg_remove gets called
2. sg_remove calls sg_finish_req_req on all pending requests
This removes the Sg_request's from the headrp list in the Sg_fd
3. The sleeping SG_IO ioctl is woken. It does nothing and returns.
4. The caller closes the fd, which invokes sg_release
5. sg_release calls sg_remove_sfp. It finds no outstanding commands
since the headrp list is empty, so it calls __sg_remove_sfp,
which frees the sfp.
6. Now when sg_cmd_done gets called, sg uses upper_private_data in
the Scsi_Request, which should point to the srp, which has been
freed, so it points to freed memory.
7. sg then dereferences the srp pointer to get the sfp, and we oops.
The fix is to NULL out the upper_private_data field in this path,
which sg_cmd_done already checks for, which will prevent the oops
from occurring.

these have been wrappers for the generic dma direction bits since 2.5.x.
This patch converts the few remaining drivers and removes the macros.

The attachment combines the most recent patch from
Yum Rayan <yum.rayan@gmail.com> (to reduce sg stack
usage), Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> (to fix check
after use) and me (fix elapsed time calculation
(duration) on ia64 machines).
I have modified the patch from Yum Rayan so kmalloc()
in sg_read() is only called for the (rare) code paths
that need them.
Changelog:
- reduce stack usage in sg_ioctl() and sg_read()
- fix check after use in sg_mmap()
- hold duration internally in milliseconds and
check current time later than held time

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
