If a SCSI ULD driver sets blk_queue_prep_rq(), it should clean it
up itself on remove(), and not from the bus callbacks. This
removes the need to hook into bus-&gt;remove(), which should not
be used at the same time as driver-&gt;remove().

<title>libfc: Add runtime debugging with debug_logging module parameter</title>

<id>7414705ea4aef9ce438e547f3138a680d2d1096c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the /sys/module/libfc/parameters/debug_logging
file to sysfs as a module parameter. It accepts an integer
bitmask for logging. Currently it supports:

   bit
LSB 0 = general libfc debugging
    1 = lport debugging
    2 = disc debugging
    3 = rport debugging
    4 = fcp debugging
    5 = EM debugging
    6 = exch/seq debugging
    7 = scsi logging (mostly error handling)

the other bits are not used at this time.

The patch converts all of the libfc source files to use
these new macros and removes the old FC_DBG macro.

This patch allows the Adaptec firmware to pass on its values for Packetize and
QAS.  To do this, the settings max_iu and max_qas have been introduced into
the SPI transport class and populated from the adaptec NVram tables.  Domain
validation in the SPI transport class will respect the max settings when
configuring to the highest possible speed for testing.

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.

<title>[SCSI] osduld: use filp_open() when looking up an osd-device</title>

<id>021e2230d6c04d80289fceb2d21c9ce93a615b32</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch was inspired by Al Viro, for simplifying and fixing the
retrieval of osd-devices by in-kernel users, eg: file systems.
In-Kernel users, now, go through the same path user-mode does by
opening a file on the osd char-device and though holding a reference
to both the device and the Module.

A file pointer was added to the osd_dev structure which is now
allocated for each user. The internal osd_dev is no longer exposed
outside of the uld. I wanted to do that for a long time so each
libosd user can have his own defaults on the device.

The API is left the same, so user code need not change.

It is no longer needed to open/close a file handle on the osd
char-device from user-mode, before mounting an exofs on it.
