When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

the scsi layer is using semaphores in a mutex way, this patch converts
these into using mutexes instead

This patch adds suspend patch to libata, and ata_piix in particular. For
most low level drivers, they should just need to add the 4 hooks to
work. As I can only test ata_piix, I didn't enable it for more
though.
Suspend support is the single most important feature on a notebook, and
most new notebooks have sata drives. It's quite embarrassing that we
_still_ do not support this. Right now, it's perfectly possible to
suspend the drive in mid-transfer.

There's an oops that sometimes shows up with SCSI transport classes in
sysfs_hash_and_remove. The problem is that now, because of the class to
device and vice versa symlinks, all classes have to be removed from
visibility *before* the device is removed from visibility.
The transport class trigger points violate this, so bring them back into
conformance.

We fix the oops by enforcing the host state model. There have also
been two extra states added: SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY and
SHOST_DEL_RECOVERY so we can take the model through host removal while
the recovery thread is active.

This patch (as545) fixes the list traversals in __scsi_remove_target and
scsi_forget_host. In each case the existing code list_for_each_entry_safe
in an _unsafe_ manner, because the list was not protected from outside
modification while the iteration was running.
The new scsi_forget_host routine takes the moderately controversial step
of iterating over devices for removal rather than iterating over targets.
This makes more sense to me because the current scheme treats targets as
second-class citizens, created and removed on demand, rather than as
objects corresponding to actual hardware. (Also I couldn't figure out any
safe way to iterate over the target list, since it's not so easy to tell
when a target has already been removed.)

This patch (as544) adds a private entry point to scsi_remove_device, for
use when callers already own the scan_mutex. The appropriate callers are
modified to use the new entry point.

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.

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!
