For tape we need to control the retries. This patch adds a retries
counter on the request for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands originating from
scsi_execute* to use. REQ_BLOCK_PC commands comming from the block
layer SG_IO path continue to use the retires set in the ULD init_command.
(scsi_execute* does not set the gendisk so we do not execute
the init_command in that path).

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

"All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method. In both
cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
(wrongly) was valid from atomic context."

The problem is that scsi_run_queue is called from scsi_next_command()
after doing a scsi_put_command. If the command was the only thing
holding the reference on the scsi_device then the resulting device put
will tear down the block queue. Fix this by taking a reference to the
device and holding it around scsi_run_queue()

When a request is deferred in scsi_init_io because the sg table could not
be allocated, the associated scsi_cmnd is not released and the request is
not marked with REQ_DONTPREP. When the command is retried, if
scsi_prep_fn decides to kill it then the scsi_cmnd will never be released.

OK, my fault. Your fix is almost correct .. I was going to do this
eventually, honest, because there's no need to unprep and reprep a
command that comes in through scsi_queue_insert().
However, I decided to leave it in to exercise the scsi_unprep_request()
path just to make sure it was working. What's happening, I think, is
that we also use this path for retries. Since we kill and reget the
command each time, the retries decrement is never seen, so we're
retrying forever.

Actually, just one problem and one cosmetic fix:
1) We need to dequeue for the loop and kill case (it seems easiest
simply to dequeue in the scsi_kill_request() routine)
2) There's no real need to drop the queue lock. __scsi_done() is lock
agnostic, so since there's no requirement, let's just leave it in to
avoid any locking issues.

This patch (as559b) adds a new routine, scsi_unprep_request, which
gets called every place a request is requeued. (That includes
scsi_queue_insert as well as scsi_requeue_command.) It also changes
scsi_kill_requests to make it call __scsi_done with result equal to
DID_NO_CONNECT << 16. (I'm not sure if it's necessary to call
scsi_init_cmd_errh here; maybe you can check on that.) Finally, the
patch changes the return value from scsi_end_request, to avoid
returning a stale pointer in the case where the request was requeued.
Fortunately the return value is used in only place, and the change
actually simplified it.

If a filesystem, while writing out data, decides that it is good
to issue a cache flush on a SCSI drive (or other 'sd' device), it will
call blkdev_issue_flush which calls ->issue_flush_fn which is
scsi_issue_flush_fn.
This calls sd_issue_flush which calls sd_sync_cache, which calls
scsi_execute_request.
This will (as sshdr != NULL) call
kmalloc(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, GFP_KERNEL)
If memory is tight, the presence of GFP_KERNEL may cause write
requests to be sent to some filesystem to free up memory, however if
that filesystem is waiting for the issue_flush_fn to complete, you
could get a deadlock.
I wonder if it might be more appropriate to use GFP_NOIO as in the
following patch.
I wonder if it might be even more appropriate to cope better with a
kmalloc failure, especially as in this use, sd_sync_cache only will
use the sense information to print out a more informative error
message.

scsi_io_completion() can be a bit noisy about certain conditions.
Previously this wasn't a problem for internally generated commands,
since they never hit it. However, since we do all SCSI commands via
bios, now they do. user CD testers like magicdev are now getting not
ready messages every time they touch the CD to see if there's anything
in it.
Fix this by making all scsi_execute commands REQ_QUIET and making
scsi_finish_io() not say anything for REQ_QUIET.

The new bio code was incorrectly converted from stack allocated to
kmalloc'd buffer handling. There are two places where it incorrectly
uses sizeof(*sense) to get the size of the sense buffer. This
actually produces one, so no sense data was ever getting back, causing
failure in things like disk spin up.

This one removes struct scsi_request entirely from sd. In the process,
I noticed we have no callers of scsi_wait_req who don't immediately
normalise the sense, so I updated the API to make it take a struct
scsi_sense_hdr instead of simply a big sense buffer.
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.

Here's the proof of concept for this one. It converts scsi_wait_req to
do correct REQ_BLOCK_PC submission (and works nicely in my setup).
The final goal should be to eliminate struct scsi_request, but that
can't be done until the character submission paths of sg and st are also
modified.
There's some loss of functionality to this: retries are no longer
controllable (except by setting REQ_FASTFAIL) and the wait_req API needs
to be altered, but it looks very nice.

scsi_queue_insert() used to use blk_insert_request() for requeueing

Note that scsi_queue_insert() now calls scsi_run_queue() itself, and
the prototype of the function is added right above
scsi_queue_insert(). This is temporary, as later requeue path
consolidation patchset removes scsi_queue_insert(). By adding
