FUJITA Tomonori 97f78759ea [SCSI] scsi tgt: scsi target user and kernel communication interface
The user-space daemon and tgt kernel module need bi-directional
kernel/user high-performance interface, however, mainline provides no
standard interface like that.

This patch adds shared memory interface between kernel and user spaces
like some other drivers do by using own character device. The
user-space daemon and tgt kernel module creates shared memory via mmap
and use it like ring buffer. poll (kernel to user) and write (user to
kernel) system calls are used for notification.

FUJITA Tomonori 5a55c2596f [SCSI] scsi tgt: scsi target lib functionality
The core scsi target lib functions.

TODO:
- mv md/dm-bio-list.h to linux/bio-list.h so md and us do not have to
do that weird include.
- convert scsi_tgt_cmd's work struct to James's execute code. And try
to kill our scsi_tgt_cmd.
- add host state checking. We do refcouting so hotplug is partially
supported, but we need to add state checking to make it easier on
the LLD.

FUJITA Tomonori b58d91547f [SCSI] export scsi-ml functions needed by tgt_scsi_lib and its LLDs
This patch contains the needed changes to the scsi-ml for the target
mode support.

Note, per the last review we moved almost all the fields we added
to the scsi_cmnd to our internal data structure which we are going
to try and kill off when we can replace it with support from other
parts of the kernel.

The one field we left on was the offset variable. This is needed to handle
the case where the target gets request that is so large that it cannot
execute it in one dma operation. So max_secotors or a segment limit may
limit the size of the transfer. In this case our tgt core code will
break up the command into managable transfers and send them to the
LLD one at a time. The offset is then used to tell the LLD where in
the command we are at. Is there another field on the scsi_cmd for
that?

Andrew Vasquez d19044c32b [SCSI] qla2xxx: defer topology discovery to DPC thread during initialization.
Modify intialization semantics:

- perform basic hardware configuration only (as usual)
  - allocate resources
  - load and execute firmware

- defer link (transport) negotiations to the DPC thread
  - again the code in qla2x00_initialize_adapter() to stall probe()
    completion was needed for legacy-style scanning.
  - DPC thread stalls until probe() complete.

- before probe() completes, set DPC flags to perform loop-resync logic
  (similar to what's done during cable-insertion/removal).

Benefits: user does not have to wait 20+ seconds in case the FC cable
is unplugged during driver load, code consolidation (removal of
redundant link negotiation logic during initialize_adaoter()), and
finilly, the driver no longer needs to defer the fc_remote_port_add()
calls to hold off lun-scanning prior to returning from the probe()
function.

Matthew Wilcox 1aa8fab2ac [SCSI] Make scsi_scan_host work for drivers which find their own targets
If a driver can find its own targets, it can now fill in scan_finished and
(optionally) scan_start in the scsi_host_template.  Then, when it calls
scsi_scan_host(), it will be called back (from a thread if asynchronous
discovery is enabled), first to start the scan, and then at intervals to
check if the scan is completed.

Also make scsi_prep_async_scan and scsi_finish_async_scan static.

Mark Haverkamp d18b448fc2 [SCSI] aacraid: Abort management FIBs
Received from Mark Salyzyn:

Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery
is performed. This code is 'clunky' and does not have any real feedback in that
the reset could progress before the user application has gotten it's
notification of command completion. We put a schedule() call to delay just the
right amount for most cases, because we tried a spin and still managed to find
cases where we would spin forever waiting for the management application to
acknowledge the impending doom surrounding the cause of the BlinkLED. Will
cause an oops in the context of the management application if we proceed too
quickly. I view this as the lesser of many evils since currently if there are
outstanding management ioctls during a need to reset/recover the adapter, the
management application just locks up and waits forever. The best practices fix
for this problem not going to be simple or easy (at least the fixes I imagine
today); and we found a balance between the needs of the driver to proceed, and
the applications that locked or confused that would hold back the driver. I
just do not like the idea of a kernel oops in an application to deal with low
priority, sluggish or misbehaving applications.

Darrick J. Wong 7b4feee973 [PATCH] aic94xx: delete ascb timers when freeing queues
When the aic94xx driver creates ascbs, each ascb is initialized with a
timeout timer.  If there are any ascbs left over when the driver is being
torn down, these timers need to be deleted.  In particular, we seem to
hit this case when ascbs are issued yet never end up on the done list.
Right now there's a sequencer bug that results in this happening every
so often.

CONTROL PHY commands are typically sent when things are really messed
up with the sequencer; however, any other leftover ascb should produce
loud warnings.

of ensuring that the device reset does not happen at the same time
that the abort tmfs are being processed.  After the phy reset, the
busted drive should go away and be re-detected later, which is indeed
what I've seen on both a x260 and a x206m.

  lkkbd: Remove my old snail-mail address
2006-11-17 19:55:11 -08:00
Linus Torvalds b976fe19ac Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution"
This reverts commit 37605a6900.

Again.

This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c5, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90.

We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.

Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.

At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

Jan-Benedict Glaw 1d08811d0c lkkbd: Remove my old snail-mail address
I moved to a different town and my old snail-mail address is invalid
now.  Also, there's no need at all to have any address like that in
the sources, so remove it completely.

Linus Torvalds 4be703906c Fix generic fb_ddc i2c edid probe msg
Benh points out that the msgs[0].flags entry never got initialized, and
since it's an automatic stack allocation, it could have any random
value, which is bad.

Rewrite the initializer to explicitly initialize all fields of the small
i2c_msg structure array we generate.  Just to keep it all obvious, let's
handle msgs[1].buf in the same initializer while we're at it, instead of
initializing that one separately later.
