commit bc67f63650fad6b3478d9ddfd5406d45a95987c9 upstream.

The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command
used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold
at most 255 scatter gather elements.  It should have been cast to
a u16.  Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller
since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right
value resulting in an i/o error.

commit 395d287526bb60411ff37b19ad9dd38b58ba8732 upstream.

The default is too small (1024 blocks), use h-&gt;cciss_max_sectors (8192 blocks)
Without this change, if you try to set the block size of a tape drive above
512*1024, via "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk nnn" where nnn is greater than 524288,
it won't work right.

commit ea5f4db8ece896c2ab9eafa0924148a2596c52e4 upstream.

"mem" is type u8.  We need parenthesis here or it screws up the pointer
math probably leading to an oops.

commit 577ebb374c78314ac4617242f509e2f5e7156649 upstream.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.

This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.

We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.

We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
only with one), so nobody cares...

While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.

This doesn't interact with resizing well, since it doesn't set the
size of the device to the size at the snapshot. It's also an expensive
operation to be synchronous. Rollback can still be done with the
userspace rbd tool.

discard_alignment is not relevant to the loop driver since it is
supposed to be set as a workaround for the old sector 63 alignments.
So set it to zero rather than block size.
