When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

New dev_printk wrappers, which allow us to shrink code, and
eliminate direct references to host/channel/id/lun members:
scmd_printk()
Introduce wrappers for highly common idioms, which may also help us
eliminate some ->{channel,id} references in the future:
{scmd,sdev}_id()
{scmd,sdev}_channel()
The scmd_* wrappers are present in scsi/scsi_device.h because they all
employ the dereference chain cmd->device->$member. We would prefer to
use static inline functions rather than macros, but that would have a

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

Currently we just ignore the device, which means there are a few
arrays out there that we don't find.
This patch updates the scsi_report_lun_scan() to take a target instead
of a device so it can be called on a return of
SCSI_SCAN_TARGET_PRESENT, which is what a PQ 3 device returns.

The original API returned either an ERR_PTR() or a refcounted sdev.
Unfortunately, if it's successful, you need to do a scsi_device_put() on
the sdev otherwise the refcounting is wrong.
Everyone seems to expect that scsi_add_device() should be callable
without doing the ref put, so alter the API so it is (we still have
__scsi_add_device with the original behaviour).
The only actual caller that needs altering is the one in firewire ...
not because it gets this right, but because it acts on the error if one
is returned.

This one removes struct scsi_request entirely from sd. In the process,
I noticed we have no callers of scsi_wait_req who don't immediately
normalise the sense, so I updated the API to make it take a struct
scsi_sense_hdr instead of simply a big sense buffer.

This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.

One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value
into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device.
Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping,
setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between
how our driver did it and others. I also got very confused as
to why byteswap routines were being used.
Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the
midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity
(note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount
that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally).
This also solves the dilemma of the thread:

This gives the HBA driver notice when a target is created and

This patch removes volatile qualifier from scsi_device->device_busy,
Scsi_Host->host_busy and ->host_failed as the volatile qualifiers
don't serve any purpose now. While at it, convert those fields from

- add a comment to the device structure that the device_busy field
is now protected by the request_queue->queue_lock
- null out sdev->request_queue after the queue is released to trap
any (and there shouldn't be any) use after the queue is freed.

The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.
The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

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!
