This works around a issue with qnap iscsi targets not handling large IOs
very well.
The target returns:
VPD INQUIRY: Block limits page (SBC)
Maximum compare and write length: 1 blocks
Optimal transfer length granularity: 1 blocks
Maximum transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Optimal transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Maximum prefetch, xdread, xdwrite transfer length: 0 blocks
Maximum unmap LBA count: 8388607
Maximum unmap block descriptor count: 1
Optimal unmap granularity: 16383
Unmap granularity alignment valid: 0
Unmap granularity alignment: 0
Maximum write same length: 0xffffffff blocks
Maximum atomic transfer length: 0
Atomic alignment: 0
Atomic transfer length granularity: 0
and it is *sometimes* able to handle at least one IO of size up to 8 MB. We
have seen in traces where it will sometimes work, but other times it
looks like it fails and it looks like it returns failures if we send
multiple large IOs sometimes. Also it looks like it can return 2 different
errors. It will sometimes send iscsi reject errors indicating out of
resources or it will send invalid cdb illegal requests check conditions.
And then when it sends iscsi rejects it does not seem to handle retries
when there are command sequence holes, so I could not just add code to
try and gracefully handle that error code.
The problem is that we do not have a good contact for the company,
so we are not able to determine under what conditions it returns
which error and why it sometimes works.
So, this patch just adds a new black list flag to set targets like this to
the old max safe sectors of 1024. The max_hw_sectors changes added in 3.19
caused this regression, so I also ccing stable.

Some devices don't like REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES and will
simply timeout causing sd_mod init to take a very very long time.
Introduce BLIST_NO_RSOC scsi scan flag, that stops RSOC from being
issued. Add it to Promise Vtrak E610f entry in scsi scan
blacklist. Fixes bug #79901 reported at

Despite supporting modern SCSI features some storage devices continue to
claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec. This is done for
compatibility with legacy operating systems.
Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that
claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that can be used to
trigger VPD page inquiries on devices that are known to support them.

Sequential scan for more than 256 LUNs is very fragile as
LUNs might not be numbered sequentially after that point.
SAM revisions later than SCSI-3 impose a structure on
LUNs larger than 256, making LUN numbers between 256
and 16384 illegal.
SCSI-3, however allows for plain 64-bit numbers with
no internal structure.
So restrict sequential LUN scan to 256 LUNs and add a
new blacklist flag 'BLIST_SCSI3LUN' to scan up to
max_lun devices.

Not all disks fill out the VPD pages correctly. Add a blacklist flag
that allows us ignore the SBC-3 VPD pages for a given device. The
BLIST_SKIP_VPD_PAGES flag triggers our existing skip_vpd_pages
scsi_device parameter to bypass VPD scanning.
Also blacklist the offending Seagate drive model.

Some devices report a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0; with the original
code, we would still try a REPORT_LUNS scan (if SCSI level is >= 3 or if we
have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 passed in), but NOT any sequential scan.
Also, the device at LUN 0 (which is not connected according to the PQ) is not
registered with the OS.
Unfortunately, SANs exist that are SCSI-2 and do NOT support REPORT_LUNS, but
report a unknown device with PQ 3 on LUN 0. We still need to scan them, and
most probably we even need BLIST_SPARSELUN (and BLIST_LARGELUN). See the bug
reference for an infamous example.
This is patch 3/3:
3. Implement the blacklist flag BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 that makes the scsi
scanning code register PQ3 devices and continues scanning; only sg
will attach thanks to scsi_bus_match().

To support the RA4100 array from Compaq.
This patch now correctly handles SCSI_UNKNOWN types with regard to
BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 (allow it) and cdb[1] LUN inclusion (don't).
It also allows a BLIST_MAX_512 flag to restrict the maximum transfer
length to 512 blocks (apparently this is an RA4100 problem).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
