SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.
This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.
We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

If there's no feature-barrier key in xenstore, then it means its a fairly
old backend which does uncached in-order writes, which means ORDERED_DRAIN
is appropriate.

When barriers are supported, then use QUEUE_ORDERED_TAG to tell the block
subsystem that it doesn't need to do anything else with the barriers.
Previously we used ORDERED_DRAIN which caused the block subsystem to
drain all pending IO before submitting the barrier, which would be
very expensive.

scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file
systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry
requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the
response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want).
We need a workaround such as the commit
77a4229719 to retry BLOCK_PC flush
requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too
since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally.
This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to
transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we
also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the
callers don't.
This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS
requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(),
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before.
Note that basically, this reverts the commit
77a4229719 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS
for flush requests.

Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
(the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting
the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio
nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be
completed partially so we need to modify sd_done.
This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't
retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).

cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards
The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers
-- that fit into one slot. It is possible to reset them independently,
however, they share a battery backed cache module. One of the pair
controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first
one. If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will
not be a happy camper. So we just forbid resetting this conjoined
mess.

cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers. Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.
This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work". Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode. The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work. So the reset needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800). We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted. In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.

According to the comments, this was how it's been done years ago, but
apparently took an xbt pointer from elsewhere back then. The code was
removed because of consistency issues: cancellation wont't roll back
the saved xbdev->state.
Still, unsolicited writes to the state field remain an issue,
especially if device shutdown takes thread synchronization, and subtle
races cause accidental recreation of the device node.
Fixed by reintroducing the transaction. An internal one is sufficient,
so the xbdev->state value remains consistent.
Also fixes the original hack to prevent infinite recursion. Instead of
bailing out on the first attempt to switch to Closing, checks call
depth now.
