Some host adapters (e.g. Hyper-V storvsc) are known for not respecting
the SPC-2/3/4 requirement for 'INQUIRY data (see table ...) shall
contain at least 36 bytes'. As a result we get tons on 'scsi 0:7:1:1:
scsi scan: INQUIRY result too short (5), using 36' messages on
console. This can be problematic for slow consoles. Introduce
short_inquiry flag in struct Scsi_Host to print the message once per

The SCSI specification requires that the second Command Data Byte
should contain the LUN value in its high-order bits if the recipient
device reports SCSI level 2 or below. Nevertheless, some USB
mass-storage devices use those bits for other purposes in
vendor-specific commands. Currently Linux has no way to send such
commands, because the SCSI stack always overwrites the LUN bits.
Testing shows that Windows 7 and XP do not store the LUN bits in the
CDB when sending commands to a USB device. This doesn't matter if the
device uses the Bulk-Only or UAS transports (which virtually all
modern USB mass-storage devices do), as these have a separate
mechanism for sending the LUN value.
Therefore this patch introduces a flag in the Scsi_Host structure to
inform the SCSI midlayer that a transport does not require the LUN
bits to be stored in the CDB, and it makes usb-storage set this flag
for all devices using the Bulk-Only transport. (UAS is handled by a
separate driver, but it doesn't really matter because no SCSI-2 or
lower device is at all likely to use UAS.)
The patch also cleans up the code responsible for storing the LUN
value by adding a bitflag to the scsi_device structure. The test for
whether to stick the LUN value in the CDB can be made when the device
is probed, and stored for future use rather than being made over and
over in the fast path.

This patch adds support for an alternate I/O path in the scsi midlayer
which uses the blk-mq infrastructure instead of the legacy request code.
Use of blk-mq is fully transparent to drivers, although for now a host
template field is provided to opt out of blk-mq usage in case any unforseen
incompatibilities arise.
In general replacing the legacy request code with blk-mq is a simple and
mostly mechanical transformation. The biggest exception is the new code
that deals with the fact the I/O submissions in blk-mq must happen from
process context, which slightly complicates the I/O completion handler.
The second biggest differences is that blk-mq is build around the concept
of preallocated requests that also include driver specific data, which
in SCSI context means the scsi_cmnd structure. This completely avoids
dynamic memory allocations for the fast path through I/O submission.
Due the preallocated requests the MQ code path exclusively uses the
host-wide shared tag allocator instead of a per-LUN one. This only
affects drivers actually using the block layer provided tag allocator
instead of their own. Unlike the old path blk-mq always provides a tag,
although drivers don't have to use it.
For now the blk-mq path is disable by defauly and must be enabled using
the "use_blk_mq" module parameter. Once the remaining work in the block
layer to make blk-mq more suitable for slow devices is complete I hope
to make it the default and eventually even remove the old code path.
Based on the earlier scsi-mq prototype by Nicholas Bellinger.

various sugestions and code contributions.

Seems like these counters are missing any sort of synchronization for

using atomic counters, and while we're at it also make sure they are
in the same cacheline as the _busy counters and not needlessly stored

With the new model the _busy counters can temporarily go negative,
so all the readers are updated to check for > 0 values. Longer

When a command runs into a timeout we need to send an 'ABORT TASK'
TMF. This is typically done by the 'eh_abort_handler' LLDD callback.
Conceptually, however, this function is a normal SCSI command, so
there is no need to enter the error handler.
This patch implements a new scsi_abort_command() function which
invokes an asynchronous function scsi_eh_abort_handler() to
abort the commands via the usual 'eh_abort_handler'.
If abort succeeds the command is either retried or terminated,
depending on the number of allowed retries. However, 'eh_eflags'
records the abort, so if the retry would fail again the
command is pushed onto the error handler without trying to
abort it (again); it'll be cleared up from SCSI EH.

Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk

accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device

or excessive I/O errors.
This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters
that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME
by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template.

The problem is that if we are doing a scsi scan then the device goes
into recovery then we will wait for the recovery to complete. It waits
because scsi-ml will send inquiries or report luns and the queueing code
will have been blocked due to the host not being ready. However, if we
are in recovery and then a scan is started the scan will silently fail
and some devices will not be added.
It is easy to hit the problem where devices do not show up with
FC where we are doing tests that disrupt the target controllers.
When the controller is disruprted (reboot, or setting firmware, etc),
and we cause the dev loss tmo to fire then devices will be removed
Then when the problem has been fixed, the rport will be scanned and
devices should be added back. But if we cause another disruption before
scanning has started then devices will not get added back. If the problem
is not started until the scan is started then the devices will be added
back.
This patch fixes that problem by not failing scans when the host
is in recovery. We will let scsi-ml send the IO and let the queueing
and scsi error handling deal with it like is done if we went into
recovery while scanning.
For recovery cases where the host is being torn down then with the
patch we will still fail the scan since there is not point in scanning.

Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.
The interface supports the following operations:
On an fc_host basis:
Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
On an fc_rport basis:
Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.
The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
include/scsi/scsi.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h
