<title>SCSI host lock push-down</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

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.

Some of our virtual SCSI hosts don't have a proper bus parent at the
top, which can be a problem for doing DMA on them

This patch makes the host device cache a pointer to the physical bus
device and provides an extra API for setting it (the normal API picks
it up from the parent).  This patch also modifies the qla2xxx and lpfc
vport logic to use the new DMA host setting API.

This patch modifies scsi_host_template-&gt;change_queue_depth so that
it takes an argument indicating why it is being called. This will be
used so that if a LLD needs to do some extra processing when
handling queue fulls or later ramp ups, it can do so.

This is a simple port of the drivers setting a change_queue_depth
callback. In the patch I just have these LLDs adjust the queue depth
if the user was requesting it.

	Also converted pmcraid_change_queue_depth and then verified
all modules compile  using "make allmodconfig" for any new build
warnings on X86_64.

	Updated original description after combing two original
patches from Mike to make this patch git bisectable.]

The advent of DIF Type 2 devices exposed some missing break statements
in the protection mask switch constructs.  However, rewriting the code
to use an index into a small static array seemed like a more elegant
solution.

So far we have only issued DIF commands if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is
enabled.  However, communication between initiator and target should be
independent of protection information DMA.  There are DIF-only host
adapters coming out that will be able to take advantage of this.

Move the relevant DIF bits to sd.c.

Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.

The interface supports the following operations:
  On an fc_host basis:
    Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
    Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
    Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
      wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
      Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
      whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
    Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
      to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
  On an fc_rport basis:
    Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.

The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
  include/scsi/scsi.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
  include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

For further information, refer to the last RFC:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&amp;m=123436574018579&amp;w=2

Note: Documentation is still spotty and will be added later.
