Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

file=$1
name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then
            sed -i '/include.*&lt;linux\/smp_lock.h&gt;/d' ${file}
    else
            sed -i 's/include.*&lt;linux\/smp_lock.h&gt;.*$/include &lt;linux\/mutex.h&gt;/g' ${file}
    fi

                     /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex);

} }"  \

The check to test that "bus_no" was valid came after we had already used
it as an array offset.  This patch moves it forward.

<title>[SCSI] dpt_i2o: Use GFP_ATOMIC when a lock is held</title>

The function adpt_i2o_post_wait is called from several places, in some of
which, such as adpt_abort, a lock may be held.

The functions adpt_i2o_reparse_lct and adpt_i2o_lct_get are called from
several places, including adpt_rescan where a lock may be held.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@gfp exists@
identifier fn;
position p;
@@

fn(...) {
 ... when != spin_unlock_irqrestore
     when any
 GFP_KERNEL@p
 ... when any
}

@locked@
identifier gfp.fn;
@@

spin_lock_irqsave(...)
...  when != spin_unlock_irqrestore
fn(...)

@depends on locked@
position gfp.p;
@@

- GFP_KERNEL@p
+ GFP_ATOMIC
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

adpt_i2o_delete_hba() calls kfree() so we have to save "pHba-&gt;next"
before calling it.  Also inside adpt_i2o_delete_hba() itself, there
was another use after free bug which I fixed by moving the kfree()
down a line.
