SPC-3 defines SERVICE ACTION IN(12) and SERVICE ACTION IN(16).
So rename SERVICE_ACTION_IN to SERVICE_ACTION_IN_16 to be
consistent with SPC and to allow for better distinction.

Drop the now unused reason argument from the -&gt;change_queue_depth method.
Also add a return value to scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and rename it to
scsi_change_queue_depth now that it can be used as the default
-&gt;change_queue_depth implementation.

<title>scsi: don't set tagging state from scsi_adjust_queue_depth</title>

<content type='text'>
Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
handle the queue depth.  For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
untagged commands in the driver.

Instead we start out with the -&gt;simple_tags flag set before calling
-&gt;slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
-&gt;simple_tags except for one worke anyway.  The one other case looks
broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.

Except for that we only change -&gt;simple_tags from the -&gt;change_queue_type,
and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.

Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
also remove all the trivial instances in -&gt;slave_alloc or -&gt;slave_configure
that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

Add a use_cmd_list flag in struct Scsi_Host to request keeping track of
all outstanding commands per device.

Default behaviour is not to keep track of cmd_list per sdev, as this may
introduce lock contention. (overhead is more on multi-node NUMA.), and
only enable it on the two drivers that need it.

The SCSI standard defines 64-bit values for LUNs, and large arrays
employing large or hierarchical LUN numbers become more and more
common.

So update the linux SCSI stack to use 64-bit LUN numbers.

<title>[SCSI] Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers</title>

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk
directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not
accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device
characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing
commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs
or excessive I/O errors.

This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
access it until user_srbcmd-&gt;sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.

It is not correct to test (fibsize &lt; sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
(instead of test for fibsize == 0).
