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>

<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
Add the necessary functions in the SRP transport module to allow an
SRP initiator driver to implement transport layer error handling
similar to the functionality already provided by the FC transport
layer. This includes:

- Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before failing I/O.
- Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before removing a remote port.

<title>IB/srp: Keep rport as long as the IB transport layer</title>

Keep the rport data structure around after srp_remove_host() has
finished until cleanup of the IB transport layer has finished
completely. This is necessary because later patches use the rport
pointer inside the queuecommand callback. Without this patch
accessing the rport from inside a queuecommand callback is racy
because srp_remove_host() must be invoked before scsi_remove_host()
and because the queuecommand callback could get invoked after
srp_remove_host() has finished. In other words, without this patch
the queuecommand callback can get invoked after the rport data
structure has been freed.

<title>[SCSI] Add 'eh_deadline' to limit SCSI EH runtime</title>

<content type='text'>
This patchs adds an 'eh_deadline' sysfs attribute to the scsi
host which limits the overall runtime of the SCSI EH.
The 'eh_deadline' value is stored in the now obsolete field
'resetting'.
When a command is failed the start time of the EH is stored
in 'last_reset'. If the overall runtime of the SCSI EH is longer
than last_reset + eh_deadline, the EH is short-circuited and
falls through to issue a host reset only.
