commit 3661371701e714f0cea4120f6a365340858fb4e4 upstream.

Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is
CLOSED.  If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the
frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown.

So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

Pull block driver bits from Jens Axboe:

 - A series of fixes for mtip32xx.  Most from Asai at Micron, but also
   one from Greg, getting rid of the dependency on PCIE_HOTPLUG.

 - A few bug fixes for xen-blkfront, and blkback.

 - A virtio-blk fix for Vivek, making resize actually work.

 - Two fixes from Stephen, making larger transfers possible on cciss.
   This is needed for tape drive support.

* 'for-3.4/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: mtip32xx: remove HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE dependancy
  mtip32xx: dump tagmap on failure
  mtip32xx: fix handling of commands in various scenarios
  mtip32xx: Shorten macro names
  mtip32xx: misc changes
  mtip32xx: Add new sysfs entry 'status'
  mtip32xx: make setting comp_time as common
  mtip32xx: Add new bitwise flag 'dd_flag'
  mtip32xx: fix error handling in mtip_init()
  virtio-blk: Call revalidate_disk() upon online disk resize
  xen/blkback: Make optional features be really optional.
  xen/blkback: Squash the discard support for 'file' and 'phy' type.
  mtip32xx: fix incorrect value set for drv_cleanup_done, and re-initialize and start port in mtip_restart_port()
  cciss: Fix scsi tape io with more than 255 scatter gather elements
  cciss: Initialize scsi host max_sectors for tape drive support
  xen-blkfront: make blkif_io_lock spinlock per-device
  xen/blkfront: don't put bdev right after getting it
  xen-blkfront: use bitmap_set() and bitmap_clear()
  xen/blkback: Enable blkback on HVM guests
  xen/blkback: use grant-table.c hypercall wrappers

When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line
reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY).
It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform-pci and
platform-pci isn't initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is
specified.

Fix it by allowing platform-pci to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never,
and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead.

<title>xen-blkfront: make blkif_io_lock spinlock per-device</title>

<id>3467811e26660eb46bc655234573d22d6876d5f9</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the global blkif_io_lock to the per-device structure. The
spinlock seems to exists for two reasons: to disable IRQs when in the interrupt
handlers for blkfront, and to protect the blkfront VBDs when a detachment is
requested.

Having a global blkif_io_lock doesn't make sense given the use case, and it
drastically hinders performance due to contention. All VBDs with pending IOs
have to take the lock in order to get work done, which serializes everything
pretty badly.
