commit aad560b7f63b495f48a7232fd086c5913a676e6f upstream.

At IO preparation we calculate the max pages at each device and
allocate a BIO per device of that size. The calculation was wrong
on some unaligned corner cases offset/length combination and would
make prepare return with -ENOMEM. This would be bad for pnfs-objects
that would in that case IO through MDS. And fatal for exofs were it
would fail writes with EIO.

Fix it by doing the proper math, that will work in all cases. (I
ran a test with all possible offset/length combinations this time
round).

Also when reading we do not need to allocate for the parity units
since we jump over them.

Also lower the max_io_length to take into account the parity pages
so not to allocate BIOs bigger than PAGE_SIZE

<title>SCSI: Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers</title>

commit 54b2b50c20a61b51199bedb6e5d2f8ec2568fb43 upstream.

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk
directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not
accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device
characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing
commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs
or excessive I/O errors.

This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

<title>[SCSI] iscsi class, qla4xxx: fix sess/conn refcounting when find fns are used</title>

This fixes a bug where the iscsi class/driver did not do a put_device
when a sess/conn device was found. This also simplifies the interface
by not having to pass in some arguments that were duplicated and did
not need to be exported.

<title>[SCSI] sas: unify the pointlessly separated enums sas_dev_type and sas_device_type</title>

<id>aa9f8328fc51460e15da129caf622b6560fa8c99</id>
<content type='text'>
These enums have been separate since the dawn of SAS, mainly because the
latter is a procotol only enum and the former includes additional state
for libsas.  The dichotomy causes endless confusion about which one you
should use where and leads to pointless warnings like this:

drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c: In function 'mvs_update_phyinfo':
drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c:1162:34: warning: comparison between 'enum sas_device_type' and 'enum sas_dev_type' [-Wenum-compare]

Fix by eliminating one of them.  The one kept is effectively the sas.h
one, but call it sas_device_type and make sure the enums are all
properly namespaced with the SAS_ prefix.

With the introduction of REQ_PM, modify sd's runtime suspend operation
functions to use that flag so that the operations to put the device into
runtime suspended state(i.e. sync cache and stop device) will not affect
its runtime PM status.
