scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.h uses struct mutex and struct list_head,
so while linux/mutex.h and linux/list.h seem to be pulled in indirectly
by one of the headers it includes, the right thing
is to include linux/mutex.h and linus/list.h directly.

The ULD ->done callback moves into the scsi_driver. By moving the call
to scsi_io_completion() from scsi_blk_pc_done() to scsi_finish_command(),
we can eliminate the latter entirely. By returning 'good_bytes' from
the ->done callback (rather than invoking scsi_io_completion()), we can
stop exporting scsi_io_completion().
Also move the prototypes from sd.h to sd.c as they're all internal anyway.
Rename sd_rw_intr to sd_done and rw_intr to sr_done.

Because scsi_print_sense_hdr prefixes with KERN_INFO, the output from
scsi_io_completion looks like:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Device not ready: <6>: Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
: ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x3
By using scsi_show_sense_hdr, we can get the much more appealing output:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Device not ready: Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Device not ready: ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x3

One of the intents of the block prep function was to allow ULDs to use
it for preprocessing. The original SCSI model was to have a single prep
function and add a pointer indirect filter to build the necessary
commands. This patch reverses that, does away with the init_command
field of the scsi_driver structure and makes ULDs attach directly to the
prep function instead. The value is really that it allows us to begin
to separate the ULDs from the SCSI mid layer (as long as they don't use
any core functions---which is hard at the moment---a ULD doesn't even
need SCSI to bind).

This adds supported_mode and active_mode attributes to
/sys/class/sys_host/hostX/ for specifying the mode that a lld supports
and the currently activated mode. The output format is similar to fc
rport roles:
luce:/sys/class/scsi_host/host0$ cat supported_mode
Initiator
luce:/sys/class/scsi_host/host0$ cat active_mode
Initiator
The mode values uses bitmap since we would support dual-mode llds in
the future like this:
luce:/sys/class/scsi_host/host0$ cat supported_mode
Initiator, Target
The supported_mode attribute looks at a scsi_host_template and the
active_mode attribute looks at a scsi_host. We would add a hook to a
scsi_host_template to change the active_mode attribute
dynamically. But now there is no hook since no lld supports that
feature.

tgt uses scsi_host as I_T nexus. This works for ibmvstgt because it
creates one scsi_host for one initiator. However, other target drivers
don't work like that.
This adds I_T nexus support, which enable one scsi_host to handle
multiple initiators. New scsi_tgt_it_nexus_create/destroy functions
are expected be called transport classes. For example, ibmvstgt
creates an initiator remote port, then the srp transport calls
tgt_it_nexus_create. tgt doesn't manages I_T nexus, instead it tells
tgtd, user-space daemon, to create a new I_T nexus.
On the receiving the response from tgtd, tgt calls
shost->transportt->it_nexus_response. transports should notify a
lld. The srp transport uses it_nexus_response callback in
srp_function_template to do that.

iSCSI must support software iscsi (iscsi_tcp, iser), hardware iscsi (qla4xxx),
and partial offload (broadcom). To be able to allow each stack or driver
or port (virtual or physical) to be able to log into the same target portal
we use the initiator tuple [[HWADDRESS | NETDEVNAME], INITIATOR_NAME] and
the target tuple [TARGETNAME, CONN_ADDRESS, CONN_PORT] to id a session.
This patch adds the netdev name, which is used by software iscsi when
it binds a session to a netdevice using the SO_BINDTODEVICE sock opt.
It cannot use HWADDRESS because if someone did vlans then the same netdevice
will have the same mac and the initiator,target id will not be unique.

The cmdsn allocation and pdu transmit code can race, and we can end
up sending a pdu with cmdsn 10 before a pdu with 5. The target will
then fail the connection/session. This patch fixes the problem by
delaying the cmdsn allocation until we are about to send the pdu.
This also removes the xmitmutex. We were using the connection xmitmutex
during error handling to handle races with mtask and ctask cleanup and
completion. For ctasks we now have nice refcounting and for the mtask,
if we hit the case where the mtask timesout and it is floating
around somewhere in the driver, we end up dropping the session.
And to handle session level cleanup, we use the xmit suspend bit
along with scsi_flush_queue and the session lock to make sure
that the xmit thread is not possibly transmitting a task while
we are trying to kill it.

This patch provides support for FC virtual ports based on NPIV.
For information on the interfaces and design, please read the
Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file enclosed within
the patch.
The RFC was originally posted here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117226959918393&w=2
Changes from the initial RFC:
- Bug fix: needed a transport_class_unregister() for the vport class
- Create a symlink to the vport in the shost device if it is not the
parent of the vport.
- Made symbolic name writable so it can be set after creation
- Made the temporary fc_vport_identifiers struct private to the
transport.
- Deleted the vport_id field from the vport. I couldn't find any good
use for it (and symname is a good replacement).
- Made the vport_state and vport_last_state "private" attributes.
Added the fc_vport_set_state() helper function to manage state
transitions
- Updated vport_create() to allow a vport to be created in a disabled
state.
- Added INITIALIZING and FAILED vport states
- Added VPCERR_xxx defines for errors to be returned from vport_create()
- Created a Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file that describes

The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias
attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc),
based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers
supports.
The modalias format is like this:
scsi:type-0x04
(for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now).
Several comments.
o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants
in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will
not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4).
Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while
both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other,
I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in
include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing
them all to decimal.
o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus. It might be a good
idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there.
o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes.
With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the
user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI
tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias).
It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either.
It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in
modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification
strings, so that modalias becomes something like
scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive
and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device
type. But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large,
and they do contain spaces and whatnot.
So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.
