<id>0520fb16465a12dda986d51fc7be3eca6e82603b</id>
<content type='text'>
patch 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in mainline.

For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list!  The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.

So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.

This is fixed with commit 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in
Linus' tree.

Andrew thinks I should be nice and allow outside code to at least just
compile, so add the request_queue_t typedef back and mark it deprecated.
It'll warn people that this type is going away soonish.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.

<title>CONFIG_BOUNCE to avoid useless inclusion of bounce buffer logic</title>

The bounce buffer logic is included on systems that do not need it.  If a
system does not have zones like ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM that can lead to
the use of bounce buffers then there is no need to reserve memory pools etc
etc.  This is true f.e.  for SGI Altix.

Also nicifies the Makefile and gets rid of the tricky "and" there.

This adds a struct request pointer to the request structure for the
second data phase (bidi for now). A request queue supporting bidi
requests sets QUEUE_FLAG_BIDI. This prevents sending bidi requests to
a non-bidi queue.

<title>bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()</title>

bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().
