Wu, Gilbert 083d1631be [SCSI] aic94xx: update for v28 firmware
These changes work compatibly with the old V17 firmware

Contribution:

   Ed Chim <ed_chim@adaptec.com>
   Gilbert Wu <gilbert_wu@adaptec.com>

Change Log:

1.    Use dword instead of qword to display the value of Connection
State register for debug purpose.

2.    There are some registers location of AIC94xx chip has been changed
according to the new V28 firmware. The patch has redefined the register
location and provided initialization.

3.    The new sequencer firmware v28 for Aic94xx SAS/SATA Linux open
source device driver can be downloaded from

In asd_initiate_ssp_tmf, the TMF result code is replaced with
TMF_RESP_FUNC_FAILED except when the TMF returns a result code immediately.
However, TMFs can return result codes via an ESCB... yet these codes are
also replaced with "FAILED".  The only values that can fall into that case
are TMF_* codes anyway, so get rid of this code where COMPLETE and SUCCESS
are turned into FAILED.  This also lets us propagate those TMF_* codes up
to the caller.

Darrick J. Wong 8f3b8fa9af [SCSI] aic94xx: Don't eat TMF_QUERY_TASK results
In this driver, TMF_QUERY_TASK translates to QUERY_SSP_TASK.  The
sequencer, it seems, is perfectly happy sending us a SSP response, which
this function promptly "converts" into TMF_RESP_FUNC_FAILED.  This leads to
the SAS EH making bad decisions based on bad data, so we should not perform
the conversion in this case.

Darrick J. Wong b218a0d8e2 [SCSI] libsas: Don't give scsi_cmnds to the EH if they never made it to the SAS LLDD or have already returned
On a system with many SAS targets, it appears possible that a scsi_cmnd
can time out without ever making it to the SAS LLDD or at the same time
that a completion is occurring.  In both of these cases, telling the
LLDD to abort the sas_task makes no sense because the LLDD won't know
about the sas_task; what we really want to do is to increase the timer.
Note that this involves creating another sas_task bit to indicate
whether or not the task has been sent to the LLDD; I could have
implemented this by slightly redefining SAS_TASK_STATE_PENDING, but
this way seems cleaner.

This second version amends the aic94xx portion to set the
TASK_AT_INITIATOR flag for all sas_tasks that were passed to
lldd_execute_task.

Darrick J. Wong 7b4feee973 [PATCH] aic94xx: delete ascb timers when freeing queues
When the aic94xx driver creates ascbs, each ascb is initialized with a
timeout timer.  If there are any ascbs left over when the driver is being
torn down, these timers need to be deleted.  In particular, we seem to
hit this case when ascbs are issued yet never end up on the done list.
Right now there's a sequencer bug that results in this happening every
so often.

CONTROL PHY commands are typically sent when things are really messed
up with the sequencer; however, any other leftover ascb should produce
loud warnings.

This patch implements a REQ_DEVICE_RESET handler for the aic94xx
driver.  Like the earlier REQ_TASK_ABORT patch, this patch defers the
device reset to the Scsi_Host's workqueue, which has the added benefit
of ensuring that the device reset does not happen at the same time
that the abort tmfs are being processed.  After the phy reset, the
busted drive should go away and be re-detected later, which is indeed
what I've seen on both a x260 and a x206m.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

performing values than what's there currently.  It seems that
asd_ha->seq.can_queue reflects the number of requests that can be
queued per controller; so long as there's one scsi_host per
controller, it seems logical that the scsi_host ought to have the same
can_queue value.  To the best of my (still limited) knowledge, this
method provides the correct value.

The effect of leaving this value set to 1 is terrible performance in
the case of either (a) certain Maxtor SAS drives flying solo or (b)
flooding several disks with I/O simultaneously (md-raid).  There may be
more scenarios where we see similar problems that I haven't uncovered.
