We have two separate definitions for identical constants with nearly the
same name. One comes from the generic headers in scsi.h; the other is
an enum in libsas.h ... it's causing confusion about which one is
correct (fortunately they both are).Fix this by eliminating the libsas.h duplicate

ATA_FLAG_DISABLED is only used by drivers which don't use
->error_handler framework and is largely broken. Its only meaningful
function is to make irq handlers skip processing if the flag is set,
which is largely useless and even harmful as it makes those ports more
likely to cause IRQ storms.Kill ATA_FLAG_DISABLED and makes the callers disable attached devices
instead. ata_port_probe() and ata_port_disable() which manipulate the
flag are also killed.This simplifies condition check in IRQ handlers. While updating IRQ
handlers, remove ap NULL check as libata guarantees consecutive port
allocation (unoccupied ports are initialized with dummies) and
long-obsolete ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE check (checked by ata_qc_from_tag()).Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

This patch modifies scsi_host_template->change_queue_depth so that
it takes an argument indicating why it is being called. This will be
used so that if a LLD needs to do some extra processing when
handling queue fulls or later ramp ups, it can do so.This is a simple port of the drivers setting a change_queue_depth
callback. In the patch I just have these LLDs adjust the queue depth
if the user was requesting it.Signed-off-by: Mike Christie

There's a hotplug problem in the way libsas allocates ports: it loops over the
available ports first trying to add to an existing for a wide port and
otherwise allocating the next free port. This scheme only works if the port
array is packed from zero, which fails if a port gets hot unplugged and the
array becomes sparse. In that case, a new port is formed even if there's a
wide port it should be part of. Fix this by creating two loops over all the
ports: the first to see if the phy should be part of a wide port and the
second to form a new port in an empty port slot.Signed-off-by: Tom Peng

In commit c3a4d78c580de4edc9ef0f7c59812fb02ceb037f, while introducing
rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
full count to zero. The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined. However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
in affected drivers. While at it, take advantage of the fact that
rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable.* ide-cd: rq->resid_len cleared on pc success
* mptsas: req->resid_len cleared on success
* sas_expander: rsp/req->resid_len cleared on success

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.Boaz : spotted missing conversion in osd
Sergei : spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape[ Impact: cleanup residual count handling, report 0 resid by default ]

Now that all SFF stuff is separated out of core layer, core layer
doesn't call ops->tf_read directly. It gets called only via
ops->qc_fill_rtf() for non-SFF drivers. This patch directly
implements private ops->qc_fill_rtf() for non-SFF controllers and kill
ops->tf_read().This is much cleaner for non-SFF controllers as some of them have to
cache SFF register values in private data structure and report the
cached values via ops->tf_read(). Also, ops->tf_read() gets nasty for
controllers which don't have clear notion of TF registers when
operation is not in progress.As this change makes default ops->qc_fill_rtf unnecessary, move
ata_sff_qc_fill_rtf() form ata_base_port_ops to ata_sff_port_ops where
it belongs.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

On command completion, ata_qc_complete() directly called ops->tf_read
to fill qc->result_tf. This patch adds ops->qc_fill_rtf to replace
hardcoded ops->tf_read usage.ata_sff_qc_fill_rtf() which uses ops->tf_read to fill result_tf is
implemented and set in ata_base_port_ops and other ops tables which
don't inherit from ata_base_port_ops, so this patch doesn't introduce
any behavior change.ops->qc_fill_rtf() is similar to ops->sff_tf_read() but can only be
called when a command finishes. As some non-SFF controllers don't
have TF registers defined unless they're associated with in-flight
commands, this limited operation makes life easier for those drivers
and help lifting SFF assumptions from libata core layer.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Once the phy reset is plumbed in properly, SATA error handling fails
nastily because we change the port attached_sas_address using the WWN
field of the IDENTIFY message. This is a nice thing to do in theory,
but it really destroys hotplug because any event on the port causes an
automatic mismatch between the sas_address the phy just picked up and
the one we propagate into the port. However ugly they are, we have to
stick with the sas addresses made up by the phys and expanders.Also does a few cosmetic changes to the way port printing is done to

The libsas error handler has two fairly fatal bugs
1. scsi_sas_task_done calls scsi_eh_finish_cmd() too early. This
happens if the task completes after it has been aborted but before
the error handler starts up. Because scsi_eh_finish_cmd()
decrements host_failed and adds the task to the done list, the
error handler start check (host_failed == host_busy) never passes
and the eh never starts.2. The multiple task completion paths sas_scsi_clear_queue_... all
simply delete the task from the error queue. This causes it to
disappear into the ether, since a command must be placed on the
done queue to be finished off by the error handler. This behaviour
causes the HBA to hang on pending commands.Fix 1. by moving the SAS_TASK_STATE_ABORTED check to an exit clause at
the top of the routine and calling ->scsi_done() unconditionally (it
is a nop if the timer has fired). This keeps the task in the error
handling queue until the eh starts.Fix 2. by making sure every task goes through task complete followed
by scsi_eh_finish_cmd().Tested this by firing resets across a disk running a hammer test (now
it actually survives without hanging the system)Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

that provided by the block layer
ATA requires that all DMA transfers begin and end on word boundaries.
Because of this, a large amount of machinery grew up in ide to adjust
scatterlists on this basis. However, as of 2.5, the block layer has a
dma_alignment variable which ensures both the beginning and length of a
DMA transfer are aligned on the dma_alignment boundary. Although the
block layer does adjust the beginning of the transfer to ensure this
happens, it doesn't actually adjust the length, it merely makes sure
that space is allocated for transfers beyond the declared length. The
upshot of this is that scatterlists may be padded to any size between
the actual length and the length adjusted to the dma_alignment safely
knowing that memory is allocated in this region.Right at the moment, SCSI takes the default dma_aligment which is on a
512 byte boundary. Note that this aligment only applies to transfers
coming in from user space. However, since all kernel allocations are
automatically aligned on a minimum of 32 byte boundaries, it is safe to
adjust them in this manner as well.tj: * Adjusting sg after padding is done in block layer. Make libata
set queue alignment correctly for ATAPI devices and drop broken
sg mangling from ata_sg_setup().
