libsas ata error handling is already async but this does not help the
scan case.  Move initial link recovery out from under host-&gt;scan_mutex,
and delay synchronization with eh until after all port probe/recovery
work has been queued.

Device ordering is maintained with scan order by still calling
sas_rphy_add() in order of domain discovery.

Since we now scan the domain list when invoking libata-eh we need to be
careful to check for fully initialized ata ports.

<title>[SCSI] libsas: execute transport link resets with libata-eh via host workqueue</title>

Link resets leave ata affiliations intact, so arrange for libsas to make
an effort to avoid dropping the device due to a slow-to-recover link.
Towards this end carry out reset in the host workqueue so that it can
check for ata devices and kick the reset request to libata.  Hard
resets, in contrast, bypass libata since they are meant for associating
an ata device with another initiator in the domain (tears down
affiliations).

Need to add a new transport_sas_phy_reset() since the current
sas_phy_reset() is a utility function to libsas lldds.  They are not
prepared for it to loop back into eh.

The function ata_sas_port_init() has always really done its own thing.
However, as a precursor to moving to the libata new eh, it has to be
properly using the standard libata scan paths.  This means separating
the current libata scan paths into pieces which can be shared with
libsas and pieces which cant (really just the async call and the host
scan).

<title>libata: implement cross-port EH exclusion</title>

<id>c0c362b60e259e3480a36ef70280d545818844f0</id>
<content type='text'>
In libata, the non-EH code paths should always take and release
ap-&gt;lock explicitly when accessing hardware or shared data structures.
However, once EH is active, it's assumed that the port is owned by EH
and EH methods don't explicitly take ap-&gt;lock unless race from irq
handler or other code paths are expected.  However, libata EH didn't
guarantee exclusion among EHs for ports of the same host.  IOW,
multiple EHs may execute in parallel on multiple ports of the same
controller.

In many cases, especially in SATA, the ports are completely
independent of each other and this doesn't cause problems; however,
there are cases where different ports share the same resource, which
lead to obscure timing related bugs such as the one fixed by commit
213373cf (ata_piix: fix locking around SIDPR access).

This patch implements exclusion among EHs of the same host.  When EH
begins, it acquires per-host EH ownership by calling ata_eh_acquire().
When EH finishes, the ownership is released by calling
ata_eh_release().  EH ownership is also released whenever the EH
thread goes to sleep from ata_msleep() or explicitly and reacquired
after waking up.

This ensures that while EH is actively accessing the hardware, it has
exclusive access to it while allowing EHs to interleave and progress
in parallel as they hit waiting stages, which dominate the time spent
in EH.  This achieves cross-port EH exclusion without pervasive and
fragile changes while still allowing parallel EH for the most part.

This was first reported by yuanding02@gmail.com more than three years
ago in the following bugzilla.  :-)
