sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to
system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the
ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In
this case, ->host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in
scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal.It will lead to permanently inequality between ->host_failed and
->host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO
errors after that won't be handled.Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just
remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero ->host_busy after
the strategy handler to fix this race.Fixes: 50824d6c5657 ("[SCSI] libsas: async ata-eh")

Change st driver to allow enabling or disabling debug output
via sysfs file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag.Previously the only way to enable debug output was:
1. loading the driver with the module parameter debug_flag=1
2. an ioctl call (this method was also the only way to dynamically
disable debug output).To use the ioctl you need a second tape drive (if you are
actively testing the first tape drive) since a second process
cannot open the first tape drive if it is in use.The this change is only functional if the value of the macro
DEBUG in st.c is a non-zero value (which it is by default).Signed-off-by: Shane Seymour

This patch implements tape statistics in the st module via
sysfs. Current no statistics are available for tape I/O and there
is no easy way to reuse the block layer statistics for tape
as tape is a character device and does not have perform I/O in
sector sized chunks (the size of the data written to tape
can change). For tapes we also need extra stats related to
things like tape movement (via other I/O).There have been multiple end users requesting statistics
including AT&T (and some HP customers who have not given
permission to be named). It is impossible for them
to investigate any issues related to tape performance
in a non-invasive way.[jejb: eliminate PRId64]

The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal
since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37bed4 ("genirq: Remove
IRQF_DISABLED from core code").According to commit e58aa3d2d0cc ("genirq: Run irq handlers with
interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the
issuing device is still active.This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e.,
SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the
definition and all remaining usages of this flag.There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel
source:- The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely
as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions
(including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged. The
trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to
any driver.- I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since
it has already been removed in linux-next.- All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.

The task_collector mode (or "latency_injector", (C) Dan Willians) is an
optional I/O path in libsas that queues up scsi commands instead of
directly sending it to the hardware. It generall increases latencies
to in the optiomal case slightly reduce mmio traffic to the hardware.Only the obsolete aic94xx driver and the mvsas driver allowed to use
it without recompiling the kernel, and most drivers didn't support it
at all.Remove the giant blob of code to allow better optimizations for scsi-mq
in the future.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
untagged commands in the driver.Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling
->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks
broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type,
and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure
that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Allow a driver to ask for block layer tags by setting .use_blk_tags in the
host template, in which case it will always see a valid value in
request->tag, similar to the behavior when using blk-mq. This means even
SCSI "untagged" commands will now have a tag, which is especially useful
when using a host-wide tag map.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

The documentation has gone out-of-sync, so update it to
the current status.Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley -
After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this
driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and
whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found:"This driver will eventually be phased out entirely"
Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2]
in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases
since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have
people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then
wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to
find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it.A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it.
If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year
old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable
that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.[1] drivers/scsi/aic7xxx_old.c: In function ‘aic7xxx_register’:
