- Moved FCS initialization, which internally does the im_port creation
as well as the scsi_host creation before bfa_init.
Once the bfa_init is complete & successful:
- Reset the FCS base port cfg params such as pwwn/nwwn and setup fc host
params - based on the values learned during the ioc getattr request.
- Change needed to support BSG commands even on bfa init failure.
- Model description fixes for Brocade adapters.

Bug Fixes:
- Removed check for ignoring plogi from initiator in switched fabric mode.
- The ABTS for PLOGI is going out few millisecs earlier due to FW
timer calibration (around 300 miilisecs earlier). So there is a
window if an accept comes during this time HBA would have initiated
an ABORT.

The failure is as follows:
1. Userspace gets forcewake lock, lock count >=1
2. GPU hang/reset occurs (forcewake bit is reset)
3. count is now incorrect
The failure can only occur when using the forcewake userspace lock.
This has the unfortunate consequence of messing up the driver as well as
userspace, unless userspace closes the debugfs file, the kernel will
never end up waking the GT since the refcount will be > 1.
The solution is to try to recover the correct forcewake state based on
the refcount. There is a period of time where userspace reads/writes may
occur after the reset, before the GT has been forcewaked. The interface
was never designed to be a perfect solution for userspace reads/writes,
and the kernel portion is fixed by this patch.

If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.
We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any
kernel since then.

Commit d149e3b25d ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct
reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit
is called as
try_to_free_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages()
shrink_zones()
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()
Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now.
But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker.
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages()
shrink_zones()
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()
This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit.
This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when
scanning_global_lru(sc) == true.
And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit
scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and
update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s
scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this
change makes sense.
TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.

Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.
Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.
The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.
One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.
