Stephen M. Cameron 957c2ec558 cciss: export resettable host attribute
This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
and actually reset the controller.  For kdump to work properly it
is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored.  This
attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

Stephen M. Cameron 0fc13c8995 cciss: fix cciss_revalidate panic
If you delete a logical drive, and then run BLKRRPART (e.g. via fdisk)
on a logical drive which is "after" the deleted logical drive in the h->drv[]
array, then cciss_revalidate panics because it will access the null pointer
h->drv[x] when x hits the deleted drive.

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel

were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

Dan Carpenter b0722cb1ac cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path
The "h->scatter_list" is allocated inside a for loop.  If any of those
allocations fail, then the rest of the list is uninitialized data.  When
we free it we should start from the top and free backwards so that we
don't call kfree() on uninitialized pointers.

Also if the allocation for "h->scatter_list" fails then we would get an
Oops here.  I should have noticed this when I send: 4ee69851c "cciss:
handle allocation failure."  but I didn't.  Sorry about that.

Stephen M. Cameron 75230ff275 cciss: disable doorbell reset on reset_devices
The doorbell reset initially appears to work correctly,
the controller resets, comes up, some i/o can even be
done, but on at least some Smart Arrays in some servers,
it eventually causes a subsequent controller lockup due
to some kind of PCIe error, and kdump can end up leaving
the root filesystem in an unbootable state.  For this
reason, until the problem is fixed, or at least isolated
to certain hardware enough to be avoided, the doorbell
reset should not be used at all.

This parameter is always known at compile time, so this would

Stephen M. Cameron 058a0f9f31 cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards
cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards
The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers
-- that fit into one slot.  It is possible to reset them independently,
however, they share a battery backed cache module.  One of the pair
controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first
one.  If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will
not be a happy camper.  So we just forbid resetting this conjoined
mess.

cciss: sanitize max commands
Some controllers might try to tell us they support 0 commands
in performant mode.  This is a lie told by buggy firmware.
We have to be wary of this lest we try to allocate a negative
number of command blocks, which will be treated as unsigned,
and get an out of memory condition.

Stephen M. Cameron a6528d0172 cciss: fix hard reset code.
cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers.  Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.

This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work".  Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode.  The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work.  So the reset needs to be fixed.

Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800).  We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted.  In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.
