This patch (as1224) changes the default timeout for INQUIRY commands
from 3 seconds to 20 seconds, which is the value used by Windows for
USB Mass-Storage devices. Some of these devices, like the Corsair
Flash Voyager (see Bugzilla #12188) really do need a long timeout.

This patch initializes the max_target_blocked field of a scsi target
structure so that a queuecommand return value of
SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY will actually result in having the
scsi_queue_insert blocking the device queue before requeuing the
command and running the queue. Otherwise, can and does cause livelock

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

We were running i/o and performing a bunch of hba resets in a loop.
This forces a lot of target removes and then rescans. Since the
resets are occuring during scan it's causing the scan i/o to timeout,
invoking error recovery, etc. We end up getting some nasty crashing
in scsi_scan.c due to references to old sdevs that are failing
but had some lingering references that kept them around.
Fix by setting device state to SDEV_DEL if the LLD's slave_alloc

This patch changes scsi_probe_lun() to retry INQUIRY if the device has
not actually sent back any INQUIRY data,
This enables the Thecus N2050 storage device to work better. The
firmware on that device starts up strangely; it sends no data in
response to the initial INQUIRY, and it sends the INQUIRY information
in response to the followup REQUEST SENSE. But after that it works
better, so retrying the INQUIRY is enough to get it going.

SCSI-ml manages the queueing limits for the device and host, but
does not do so at the target level. However something something similar
can come in userful when a driver is transitioning a transport object to
the the blocked state, becuase at that time we do not want to queue
io and we do not want the queuecommand to be called again.
The patch adds code similar to the exisiting SCSI_ML_*BUSY handlers.
You can now return SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY when we hit
a transport level queueing issue like the hw cannot allocate some
resource at the iscsi session/connection level, or the target has temporarily
closed or shrunk the queueing window, or if we are transitioning
to the blocked state.
bnx2i, when they rework their firmware according to netdev
developers requests, will also need to be able to limit queueing at this
level. bnx2i will hook into libiscsi, but will allocate a scsi host per
netdevice/hba, so unlike pure software iscsi/iser which is allocating
a host per session, it cannot set the scsi_host->can_queue and return
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY to reflect queueing limits on the transport.
The iscsi class/driver can also set a scsi_target->can_queue value which
reflects the max commands the driver/class can support. For iscsi this
reflects the number of commands we can support for each session due to
session/connection hw limits, driver limits, and to also reflect the
session/targets's queueing window.
Changes:
v1 - initial patch.
v2 - Fix scsi_run_queue handling of multiple blocked targets.
Previously we would break from the main loop if a device was added back on
the starved list. We now run over the list and check if any target is
blocked.
v3 - Rediff for scsi-misc.

The current target allocation code registeres each possible target
with sysfs; it will be deleted again if no useable LUN on this target
was found. This results in a string of 'target add/target remove' uevents.
Based on a patch by Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> this patch reworks
the target allocation code so that only uevents for existing targets
are sent. The sysfs registration is split off from the existing
scsi_target_alloc() into a in a new scsi_add_target() function, which
should be called whenever an existing target is found. Only then a
uevent is sent, so we'll be generating events for existing targets
only.

Some SCSI tape medium changers that need the BLIST_SINGLELUN flag have
the medium changer at one LUN and the tape drive at a different LUN.
The inquiry string of the tape drive may be different from that of the
medium changer. In order for single_lun to be effective, every
scsi_device under a given scsi_target must have it set. This means that
there needs to be a blacklist entry for BOTH the medium changer AND the
tape drive, which is impractical because some medium changers may be
paired with a variety of different tape drive models. It makes more
sense to put the single_lun flag in scsi_target instead of scsi_device,
which causes every device at a given target ID to inherit the single_lun
flag from one LUN. This makes it possible to blacklist just the medium
changer and not the tape drive.

Stress-testing and some thought has revealed some places where
asynchronous scanning needs some more attention to locking.
- Since async_scan is a bit, we need to hold the host_lock while
modifying it to prevent races against other CPUs modifying the word
that bit is in. This is probably a theoretical race for the moment,
but other patches may change that.
- The async_scan bit means not only that this host is being scanned
asynchronously, but that all the devices attached to this host are not
yet added to sysfs. So we must ensure that this bit is always in sync.
I've chosen to do this with the scan_mutex since it's already acquired
in most of the right places.
- If the host changes state to deleted while we're in the middle of
a scan, we'll end up with some devices on the host's list which must
be deleted. Add a check to scsi_sysfs_add_devices() to ensure the
host is still running.
- To avoid the async_scan bit being protected by three locks, the
async_scan_lock now only protects the scanning_list.

Apparently no ATAPI CD/DVD actually supports REPORT LUNS (in spite of
claiming scsi-3 compliance, where it's mandatory) and worse, some
crash or flake out on being sent the command. This may actually be
due to a conflict between SPC and MMC with MMC not listing REPORT LUNS
as mandatory. The same standards conflict exists for RBC as well.
Fix all of this by reversing the blacklists for CDROM and RBC devices
(i.e. now they have to have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 flag set even if the
inquiry data returns scsi-3 compliance).

If either scsi_complete_async_scans() is called a second time
before the first call has finished, or a host scan is started while
scsi_complete_async_scans() is still sleeping, it would fail to wake up
the other task, which would sleep forever.
I've changed the kernel-doc to make it clear that
scsi_complete_async_scans() only guarantees that scans which started
before it was called are guaranteed to have finished when it returns.
I considered making it wait until all scans are completed, but it can't
guarantee that no more scans will start before it returns anyway, and it
runs the risk of confusing other callers of scsi_complete_async_scans()
for hosts actually scanning.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

This patch (as810c) copies a minimum of 36 bytes of INQUIRY data, even if
the device claims that not all of them are valid. Often badly behaved
devices put plausible data in the Vendor, Product, and Revision strings but
set the Additional Length byte to a small value. Using potentially valid
data is certainly better than allocating a short buffer and then reading
beyond the end of it, which is what we do now.
