If you have the libsas with ATA support, it needs libata to function.
The problem is that if you compile in libsas, you can't build libata
as a module (however, vice versa you can).

In sas_smp_get_phy_events() we never test if the call to
alloc_smp_req(RPEL_REQ_SIZE) succeeds or fails. That means we run
the risk of dereferencing a NULL pointer if it does fail. Far
better to test if we got NULL back and in that case return -ENOMEM
just as we already do for the other memory allocation in that
function.

This one was noticed by Gilbert Wu of Adaptec:

ATA devices need special handling for sas_task_abort. If the ATA command
came from SCSI, then we merely need to tell SCSI to abort the scsi_cmnd.
However, internal commands require a bit more work--we need to fill the qc

post_internal will issue the actual ABORT TASK.

This patch adds a new field, lldd_task, to ata_queued_cmd so that libata
users such as libsas can associate some data with a qc. The particular
ambition with this patch is to associate a sas_task with a qc; that way,
if libata decides to timeout a command, we can come back (in
sas_ata_post_internal) and abort the sas task.
One question remains: Is it necessary to reset the phy on error, or will
the libata error handler take care of it? (Assuming that one is written,
of course.) This patch, as it is today, works well enough to clean

This patch adds support for SATA over SAS expanders to the previous two
SATA support in libsas patches.
There were a couple of nasty non trivial things to sort out before this
one could be made to work.
Firstly, I'd like to thank Doug Gilbert for diagnosing a problem with
the LSI expanders where the REPORT_SATA_PHY command was returning the
D2H FIS in the wrong order (Although, here, I think I have to blame the
SAS standards which specifies the FIS "shall be returned in little
endian format" and later on "which means resp[24] shall be FIS type"
The latter, of course, implying big endian format). Just to make sure,
I put a check for the D2H FIS type being in the wrong position and
reverse the FIS data if it is.
The second is a problem outlined in Annex G of the SAS standard (again,
a technical point with D2H FIS ... necessitating a phy reset on certain
conditions).
With the patch, I can now see my SATA-1 disk in a cascaded expander
configuration.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

libsas: Don't BUG when connecting two expanders via wide port
When a device is connected to an expander, the discovery process goes through
sas_ex_discover_dev to figure out what's attached to the phy. If it is the
case that the phy being discovered happens to be the second phy of a wide link
to an expander, that discover_dev function will incorrectly call
sas_ex_discover_expander, which creates another sas_port and tries to attach the
other sas_phys to the new port, thus triggering a BUG. The correct thing to do is
to check the other ex_phys of the expander to see if there's a sas_port for this
sas_phy, and attach the sas_phy to the existing sas_port.
This is easily triggered if one enables the phys of a wide port between
expanders one by one.
This second version of the patch fixes a small regression in the case where
all the phys show up at once and we accidentally try to attach to a port
that hasn't been created yet.

This patch moves the code that handles SAS failures out of the main EH
function and into a separate function. It also detects commands that have
no sas_task (i.e. they completed, but with error data) and sends them into
scsi_error for processing. This allows us to handle SCSI errors (and
enables auto-spinup as a side effect) instead of dropping them on the
floor and falling into an infinite loop. It also requires the
implementation of a device reset function, which the SAS failure code has
been modified to employ for REQ_DEVICE_RESET.

sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions,
sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
sas_discover_root_expander.
This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
sas_get_port_device.
This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.

Currently, sas_form_port checks the given asd_sas_phy's sas_phy to see if
there's already a port attached. If so, the SAS addresses of the port and
the phy are compared to determine if we need to detach from the port
because the addresses don't match or if we can stop; the SAS address stored
in the sas_port reflects whatever device _was_ attached to the port/phy, and
the SAS address stored in the sas_port reflects whatever device we just
discovered. As written, the code detaches from the port if the addresses
_do_ match, and prints an error if they do _not_ match. I believe this to
be incorrect, as it seems more logical to keep the port if the addresses
match (i.e. the phy was reset but the device didn't change), and detach it
they do not (i.e. the device changed).

sas_task_abort() should simply abort the upper-level SCSI command and wait

Also rename do_sas_task_abort to __sas_task_abort just in case we really

Every so often, a scsi_cmnd will time out, and the libsas timeout handler
will discover that the scsi_cmnd does not have a sas_task attached to it.
This can happen in two cases: (1) the scsi_cmnd actually made it through
libsas to the HBA and is now going through scsi_done, or (2) the
scsi_cmnd has been held up (host lock, slab alloc, etc) and libsas has
not yet attached a sas_task. In both cases, it is safe to ask SCSI for
more time to process the command via EH_RESET_TIMER; we cannot blindly
return EH_HANDLED because if (2) happens, we could end up calling
scsi_done while another CPU is heading towards sas_queuecommand, which
causes slab corruption when sas_task_done updates the freed scsi_cmnd.
