commit dcaf9aed995c2b2a49fb86bbbcfa2f92c797ab5d upstream.

Bfa driver crash is observed while pushing the firmware on to chinook
quad port card due to uninitialized bfi_image_ct2 access which gets
initialized only for CT2 ASIC based cards after request_firmware().
For quard port chinook (CT2 ASIC based), bfi_image_ct2 is not getting
initialized as there is no check for chinook PCI device ID before
request_firmware and instead bfi_image_cb is initialized as it is the
default case for card type check.

This patch includes changes to read the right firmware for quad port chinook.

<title>SCSI: hpsa: return 0 from driver probe function on success, not 1</title>

commit 88bf6d62db4393fa03a58bada9d746312d5b496f upstream.

A return value of 1 is interpreted as an error.  See pci_driver.
in local_pci_probe().  If you're wondering how this ever could
have worked, it's because it used to be the case that only return
values less than zero were interpreted as failure.  But even in
the current kernel if the driver registers its various entry
points with the kernel, and then returns a value which is
interpreted as failure, those registrations aren't undone, so
the driver still mostly works.  However, the driver's remove
function wouldn't be called on rmmod, and pci power management
functions wouldn't work.  In the case of Smart Array, since it
has a battery backed cache (or else no cache) even if the driver
is not shut down properly as long as there is no outstanding
i/o, nothing too bad happens, which is why it took so long to
notice.

Requesting backport to stable because the change to pci-driver.c
which requires driver probe functions to return 0 occurred between
2.6.35 and 2.6.36 (the pci power management breakage) and again
between 3.7 and 3.8 (pci_dev-&gt;driver getting set to NULL in
local_pci_probe() preventing driver remove function from being
called on rmmod.)

commit 2e311fbabdc23b7eaec77313dc3b9a151a5407b5 upstream.

We inadvertantly discarded the scsi status for aborted commands.
For some commands (e.g. reads from tape drives) these can't be retried,
and if we discarded the scsi status, the scsi mid layer couldn't notice
anything was wrong and the error was not reported.

commit ae5fbae0ccd982dfca0ce363036ed92f5b13f150 upstream.

Since commit 110dd8f19df5 "[SCSI] libsas: fix scr_read/write users and
update the libata documentation" we have been passing pmp=1 and is_cmd=0
to ata_tf_to_fis().  Praveen reports that eSATA attached drives do not
discover correctly.  His investigation found that the BIOS was passing
pmp=0 while Linux was passing pmp=1 and failing to discover the drives.
Update libsas to follow the libata example of pulling the pmp setting
from the ata_link and correct is_cmd to be 1 since all tf's submitted
through -&gt;qc_issue are commands.  Presumably libsas lldds do not care
about is_cmd as they have sideband mechanisms to perform link
management.

commit b4789b8e6be3151a955ade74872822f30e8cd914 upstream.

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).

[ Upstream commit 21af8107f27878813d0364733c0b08813c2c192a ]

Meelis Roos reports a crash in esp_free_lun_tag() in the presense
of a disk which has died.

The issue is that when we issue an autosense command, we do so by
hijacking the original command that caused the check-condition.

When we do so we clear out the ent-&gt;tag[] array when we issue it via
find_and_prep_issuable_command().  This is so that the autosense
command is forced to be issued non-tagged.

That is problematic, because it is the value of ent-&gt;tag[] which
determines whether we issued the original scsi command as tagged
vs. non-tagged (see esp_alloc_lun_tag()).

And that, in turn, is what trips up the sanity checks in
esp_free_lun_tag().  That function needs the original -&gt;tag[] values
in order to free up the tag slot properly.

Fix this by remembering the original command's tag values, and
having esp_alloc_lun_tag() and esp_free_lun_tag() use them.

This patch fixes an out-of-bounds error in sd_read_cache_type(), found
by Google's AddressSanitizer tool.  When the loop ends, we know that
"offset" lies beyond the end of the data in the buffer, so no Caching
mode page was found.  In theory it may be present, but the buffer size
is limited to 512 bytes.

commit 6431f5d7c6025f8b007af06ea090de308f7e6881 upstream.

Problem: When Hardware IOMMU is on, megaraid_sas driver initialization fails
in kdump kernel with LSI MegaRAID controller(device id-0x73).

Actually this issue needs fix in firmware, but for firmware running in field,
this driver fix is proposed to resolve the issue.  At firmware initialization
time, if firmware does not come to ready state, driver will reset the adapter
and retry for firmware transition to ready state unconditionally(not only
executed for kdump kernel).
