Commit 166a2967b45ede2e2e56f3ede3cd32053dc17812 "libata: tell scsi layer
device supports runtime power off" introduced the can_power_off flag for
scsi_device and is used to support ZPODD implementation in SCSI layer.
Since ZPODD is now implemented in ATA layer, that flag is no longer
needed, so remove it.

<title>[libata] scsi: no poll when ODD is powered off</title>

<content type='text'>
When the ODD is powered off, any action the user did to the ODD that
would generate a media event will trigger an ACPI interrupt, so the
poll for media event is no longer necessary. And the poll will also
cause a runtime status change, which will stop the ODD from staying in
powered off state, so the poll should better be stopped.

But since we don't have access to the gendisk structure in LLDs, here
comes the disk_events_disable_depth for scsi device. This field is a
hint set by LLDs to convey information to upper layer drivers. A value
of 0 means media poll is necessary for the device, while values above 0
means media poll is not needed and should better be skipped. So we can
increase its value when we are to power off the ODD in ATA layer and
decrease its value when the ODD is powered on, effectively silence the
media events poll.

<title>[SCSI] sd: Implement support for WRITE SAME</title>

Implement support for WRITE SAME(10) and WRITE SAME(16) in the SCSI disk
driver.

 - We set the default maximum to 0xFFFF because there are several
   devices out there that only support two-byte block counts even with
   WRITE SAME(16). We only enable transfers bigger than 0xFFFF if the
   device explicitly reports MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH in the BLOCK
   LIMITS VPD.

 - max_write_same_blocks can be overriden per-device basis in sysfs.

 - The UNMAP discovery heuristics remain unchanged but the discard
   limits are tweaked to match the "real" WRITE SAME commands.

 - In the error handling logic we now distinguish between WRITE SAME
   with and without UNMAP set.

The discovery process heuristics are:

 - If the device reports a SCSI level of SPC-3 or greater we'll issue
   READ SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES to find out whether WRITE SAME(16) is
   supported. If that's the case we will use it.

 - If the device supports the block limits VPD and reports a MAXIMUM
   WRITE SAME LENGTH bigger than 0xFFFF we will use WRITE SAME(16).

 - Otherwise we will use WRITE SAME(10) unless the target LBA is beyond
   0xFFFFFFFF or the block count exceeds 0xFFFF.

 - no_write_same is set for ATA, FireWire and USB.

The REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES command can be used to query
whether a given opcode is supported by a device. Add a helper function
that allows us to look up commands.

We only issue RSOC if the device reports compliance with SPC-3 or
later. But to err on the side of caution we disable the command for ATA,
FireWire and USB.

This has scsi_internal_device_unblock/scsi_target_unblock take
the new state to set the devices as an argument instead of
always setting to running. The patch also converts users of these
functions.

This allows the FC and iSCSI class to transition devices from blocked
to transport-offline, so that when fast_io_fail/replacement_timeout
has fired we do not set the devices back to running. Instead, we
set them to SDEV_TRANSPORT_OFFLINE.

<id>1b8d26206134458044b0689f48194af00c96d406</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new state SDEV_TRANSPORT_OFFLINE. It will
be used by transport classes to offline devices for cases like
when the fast_io_fail/recovery_tmo fires. In those cases we
want all IO to fail, and we have not yet escalated to dev_loss_tmo
behavior where we are removing the devices.

Currently to handle this state, transport classes are setting
the scsi_device's state to running, setting their internal
session/port structs state to something that indicates failed,
and then failing IO from some transport check in the queuecommand.

The reason for the new value is so that users can distinguish
between a device failure that is a result of a transport problem
vs the wide range of errors that devices get offlined for
when a scsi command times out and we offline the devices there.
It also fixes the confusion as to why the transport class is
failing IO, but has set the device state from blocked to running.
