All these are instances of
  #define NAME value;
or
  #define NAME(params_opt) value;

These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
  if(foo $OP NAME)
  while(bar $OP NAME)
and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
  foo = NAME + 1;    /* foo = value; + 1; */
  bar = NAME - 1;    /* bar = value; - 1; */
  baz = NAME &amp; quux; /* baz = value; &amp; quux; */

Reported on comp.lang.c,
Message-ID: &lt;ab0d55fe-25e5-482b-811e-c475aa6065c3@c29g2000yqd.googlegroups.com&gt;
Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.

There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

<title>[SCSI] Add detailed SCSI I/O errors</title>

<id>63583cca745f440167bf27877182dc13e19d4bcf</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of just passing 'EIO' for any I/O error we should be
notifying the upper layers with more details about the cause
of this error.

Update the possible I/O errors to:

- ENOLINK: Link failure between host and target
- EIO: Retryable I/O error
- EREMOTEIO: Non-retryable I/O error
- EBADE: I/O error restricted to the I_T_L nexus

'Retryable' in this context means that an I/O error _might_ be
restricted to the I_T_L nexus (vulgo: path), so retrying on another
nexus / path might succeed.

'Non-retryable' in general refers to a target failure, so this
error will always be generated regardless of the I_T_L nexus
it was send on.

I/O errors restricted to the I_T_L nexus might be retried
on another nexus / path, but they should _not_ be queued
if no paths are available.

<id>e9ccc998b70fbe59626f393bb0328402159c6b5c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a handful of missing CDBs defs that are used by TCM
persistent reservation logic in the SPC-4 defined CDB exclusion table for
registrations and reservations.

This includes a number of missing MI_* and MO_* prefixed service actions defs
for MAINTENANCE_IN and MAINTENANCE_OUT that are mentioned wrt to persistent
registration and reservation status for the SCSI Initiator Port.

Replace sr_media_change() with sr_check_events().  It normally only
uses GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION to check both media change and
eject request.  If @clearing includes DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE, it
issues TUR and compares whether media presence has changed.  The SCSI
specific media change uevent is kept for compatibility.

sr_media_change() was doing both media change check and revalidation.
The revalidation part is split into sr_block_revalidate_disk().

This commit changes storage_common.h, file_storage.c and
f_mass_storage.c to use definitions of SCSI commands from
scsi/scsi.h file instead of redefining the commands in
storage_common.c.

scsi/scsi.h header file was missing READ_FORMAT_CAPACITIES and
READ_HEADER so this commit also add those to the header.

Some controllers have a hardware limit on the number of protection
information scatter-gather list segments they can handle.

Introduce a max_integrity_segments limit in the block layer and provide
a new scsi_host_template setting that allows HBA drivers to provide a
value suitable for the hardware.

Add support for honoring the integrity segment limit when merging both
bios and requests.
