commit 5d7c20b7fa5c6ca19e871b4050e321c99d32bd43 upstream.

During kdump testing I noticed timeouts when initialising each IPR
adapter. While the driver has logic to detect an adapter in an
indeterminate state, it wasn't triggering and each adapter went
through a 5 minute timeout before finally going operational.

Some analysis showed the needs_hard_reset flag wasn't getting set.
We can check the reset_devices kernel parameter which is set by
kdump and force a full reset. This fixes the problem.

<title>[SCSI] ipr: fix possible false positive detection of stuck interrupt</title>

If the driver is getting flooded with interrupts, there's a possibility
that the interrupt service routine could falsely detect a stuck interrupt
condition and reset the adapter.

This patch changes the logic such that the routine will loop back into
the command processing code one more time after detecting the stuck
interrupt signature.  If there are no commands to process after that pass,
and the interrupt is still not cleared, then the driver will print the
"Error clearing HRRQ" message and reset the adapter.

I noticed a stream of errors from the IPR driver while doing
IOMMU fault injection. Rate limit the errors so we don't clog
up the console and logfiles.

<title>[SCSI] ipr: increase the dump size for 64 bit adapters</title>

Currently the size of the dump generated by the driver is limited
in 4MB, which is insufficient to gather much useful data from the
new 64 bit adapters.

This patch makes the needed changes to increase the dump limit
for the 64 bit adapters to 32MB, or even to a bigger value in the
future, but keeping the current limitations for the legacy 32 bit
adapters.

<title>[SCSI] ipr: improve interrupt service routine performance</title>

During performance testing on P7 machines it was observed that the interrupt
service routine was doing unnecessary MMIO operations.

This patch rearranges the logic of the routine and moves some of the code out
of the main routine.  The result is that there are now fewer MMIO operations in
the performance path of the code.

As a result of the above change, an existing condition was exposed where the
driver could get an "unexpected" hrrq interrupt.  The original code would flag
the interrupt as unexpected and then reset the adapter.  After further analysis
it was confirmed that this condition can occasionally occur and that the
interrupt can safely be ignored.  Additional code in this patch detects this
condition, clears the interrupt and allows the driver to continue without
resetting the adapter.

In testing it was noticed that Extended Delay after Reset flag was being set
for gscsi and volume set devices.  This had a negative effect on performance
for volume sets.  The fix is to only set the flag for gscsi devices.
