6460e75a10 [SCSI] sg: fixes for large page_size
This sg driver patch addresses the problem with larger
page sizes reported by Brian King in this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115867718623631&w=2
Some other related matters are also addressed. Some of these
prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are
set to inappropriate values.

The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should
make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB
less one block, achievable with a relatively small number
of elements in the scatter gather list.

ChangeLog:
    - add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module
      parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ
    - the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the
      max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE)
      It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power
      of two
    - clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements
      that are no longer valid
    - make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable

1a68d41a33 [SCSI] eata_pio cleanup and PCI fix
This started as a PCI reference fixup but to do that I need to build it,
to build it I need to fix it and its full of 32bitisms and uglies.

It has been resurrected, I'm not sure if this is a thank you for the
work on the license stuff or punishment for some unknown misdeed however
8). I've also fixed a memory scribble in the init code.

One oddity - the changes from HZ * to constants are deliberate. Whoever
originally wrote the code (or cleaned it up) used HZ for a cycle timing
loop even though is not HZ related. I've put it back to the counts used
in the old days when the driver was most used.

ac5826ca91 [SCSI] aacraid: remove scsi_remove_device
Received from Mark Salyzyn:

Until the system is stabilized, I am suggesting the enclosed
modification to prevent the driver from tickling the panic. Once sysfs
and friends are stabilized, the patch may be backed out. We have yet to
evaluate if we really want to relinquish existing Scsi Devices in any
case, holding on to them as configuration of arrays comes and goes makes
some sense as well. As a result, we have opted to pull the lines rather
than comment them in legacy.

76a7f8fdc0 [SCSI] aacraid: merge rx and rkt code
Received from Mark Salyzyn:

The only real difference between the rkt and rx platform modules is the
offset of the message registers. This patch recognizes this similarity
and simplifies the driver to reduce it's code footprint and to improve
maintainability by reducing the code duplication.

Visibly, the 'rkt.c' portion of this patch looks more complicated than
it really is. View it as retaining the rkt-only specifics of the
interface.

653ba58d55 [SCSI] aacraid: expose physical devices
Received from Mark Salyzyn:

I am placing this functionality into an insmod parameter. Normally the physical
components are exported to sg, and are blocked from showing up in sd.

Note that the pass-through I/O path via the driver through the Firmware to the
physical disks is not an optimized path, the card is designed for Hardware
RAID, elevator sorting and caching. This should not be used as a means for
utilizing the aacraid based controllers as a generic scsi/SATA/SAS controller,
performance should suck by a few percentage points, any RAID meta-data on the
drives will confuse the controller about who owns the drives and there is a
high risk of destroying content in both directions. Unreliable and for
experimentation or strange controlled circumstances only.

0f29b966d6 [SCSI] FC transport: Add dev_loss_tmo callbacks, and new fast_io_fail_tmo w/ callback
This patch adds the following functionality to the FC transport:

- dev_loss_tmo LLDD callback :
  Called to essentially confirm the deletion of an rport. Thus, it is
  called whenever the dev_loss_tmo fires, or when the rport is deleted
  due to other circumstances (module unload, etc).  It is expected that
  the callback will initiate the termination of any outstanding i/o on
  the rport.

- fast_io_fail_tmo and LLD callback:
  There are some cases where it may take a long while to truly determine
  device loss, but the system is in a multipathing configuration that if
  the i/o was failed quickly (faster than dev_loss_tmo), it could be
  redirected to a different path and completed sooner.

Many thanks to Mike Reed who cleaned up the initial RFC in support
of this post.

84314fd474 [SCSI] SCSI and FC Transport: add netlink support for posting of transport events
This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
It is a followup to the original RFC at:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
and the initial posting at:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2

The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
in the initial posting.

Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
which can then be used by all transports.

This patch:
- Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
  single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
  base SCSI subsystem intialization.
  Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
  transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
- Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
  messages
- Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
   fc_get_event_number() -  to get a FC event #
   fc_host_post_event()  -  to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
   fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
                                 arbitrary amounts of data.

   Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
     event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.

Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2

   Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual
   patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely
   together.
