This is what enables large commands. If we need to allocate an
sgtable that doesn't fit in a single page, allocate several
SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS sized tables and chain them together.
SCSI defaults to large chained sg tables, if the arch supports it.

The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias
attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc),
based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers
supports.
The modalias format is like this:
scsi:type-0x04
(for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now).
Several comments.
o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants
in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will
not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4).
Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while
both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other,
I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in
include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing
them all to decimal.
o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus. It might be a good
idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there.
o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes.
With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the
user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI
tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias).
It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either.
It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in
modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification
strings, so that modalias becomes something like
scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive
and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device
type. But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large,
and they do contain spaces and whatnot.
So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.

This patch adds support for REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS. This is used
eg for the multipathing priority callout to determine the path
priority.
With this patch multipath-tools can use the existing mpath_prio_alua
callout to exercise the path priority grouping.

- Replace scsi_device_types array API with scsi_device_type function API.
Gets rid of a lot of common code, as well as being easier to use.
- Add the new device types in SPC4 r05a, and rename some of the older ones.
- Reformat the printing of inquiry data; now fits on one line and
includes PQ.
I think I've addressed all the feedback from the previous versions. My
current test box prints:
scsi 2:0:1:0: Direct access HP 18.2G ATLAS10K3_18_SCA HP05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

In order to use the new execute_in_process_context() API, you have to
provide it with the work storage, which I do in SCSI in scsi_device and
scsi_target, but which also means that we can no longer queue up the
target reaps, so instead I moved the target to a state model which
allows target_alloc to detect if we've received a dying target and wait
for it to be gone. Hopefully, this should also solve the target
namespace race.

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.
This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it. Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously. The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if
mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.
Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

We have a DID_IMM_RETRY to require a retry at once, but we could do with
a DID_REQUEUE to instruct the mid-layer to treat this command in the
same manner as QUEUE_FULL or BUSY (i.e. halt the submission until
another command returns ... or the queue pressure builds if there are no
outstanding commands).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
