When removing several devices aic79xx will occasionally Oops
in ahd_handle_nonpkt_busfree during rescan. Looking at the
code I found that we're indeed not checking if the scb in
question is NULL. So check for it before accessing it.

The hardware used with zfcp cannot abort a currently pending CT or ELS
request. Therefore we need the option to postpone the timeout
triggered request abort within the fc layer, since there is nothing
zfcp can do to stop the request at this point.

The driver did not account for non-tape devices needing to employ
proper FCP2 recovery. Driver now checks the FCP2-capable flag
only, rather than using a midlayer-determined flag (TYPE_TAPE).

Because of the terrible structuring of scsi-bidi-commands
it breaks some of the life time rules of a scsi-command.
It is now not allowed to free up the block-request before
cleanup and partial deallocation of the scsi-command. (Which
is not so for none bidi commands)
The right fix to this problem would be to make bidi command
a first citizen by allocating a scsi_sdb pointer at scsi command
just like cmd->prot_sdb. The bidi sdb should be allocated/deallocated
as part of the get/put_command (Again like the prot_sdb) and the
current decoupling of scsi_cmnd and blk-request should be kept.
For now make sure scsi_release_buffers() is called before the
call to blk_end_request_all() which might cause the suicide of
the block requests. At best the leak of bidi buffers, at worse
a crash, as there is a race between the existence of the bidi_request
and the free of the associated bidi_sdb.
The reason this was never hit before is because only OSD has the potential
of doing asynchronous bidi commands. (So does bsg but it is never used)
And OSD clients just happen to do all their bidi commands synchronously, up
until recently.

These particular problems were reported by Cisco and SAP and customers
as well. Cisco reported on RHEL4 U6 and SAP reported on SLES9 SP4 and
SLES10 SP2. We added these fixes on RHEL4 U6 and gave a private build
to IBM and Cisco. Cisco and IBM tested it for more than 15 days and
they reported that they did not see the issue so far. Before the fix,
Cisco used to see the issue within 5 days. We generated a patch for
SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2 and submitted to Novell. Novell applied the
patch and gave a test build to SAP. SAP tested and reported that the
build is working properly.
We also tested in our lab using the tools "dishogsync", which is IO
stress tool and the tool was provided by Cisco.
Issue1: File System going into read-only mode
Root cause: The driver tends to not free the memory (FIB) when the
management request exits prematurely. The accumulation of such
un-freed memory causes the driver to fail to allocate anymore memory
(FIB) and hence return 0x70000 value to the upper layer, which puts
the file system into read only mode.
Fix details: The fix makes sure to free the memory (FIB) even if the
request exits prematurely hence ensuring the driver wouldn't run out
of memory (FIBs).
Issue2: False Raid Alert occurs
When the Physical Drives and Logical drives are reported as deleted or
added, even though there is no change done on the system
Root cause: Driver IOCTLs is signaled with EINTR while waiting on
response from the lower layers. Returning "EINTR" will never initiate
internal retry.
Fix details: The issue was fixed by replacing "EINTR" with
"ERESTARTSYS" for mid-layer retries.

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/megaraid_sas/poll_mode_io defaults to being
world-writable, which seems bad (letting any user affect kernel driver
behavior).
This turns off group and user write permissions, so that on typical
production systems only root can write to it.

During a manual scan, a user can send command to a nonexistent
lun, precisely at the point of max_lun. Normally it's possible
(but not required) that the firmware has the knowledge that it
is an invalid lun. In the particular case when max_lun is 256,
however, the nonexistent lun 256 will be confused with lun 0,
because the lun member in a request message is only u8, and 256
will become 0. So we need to fix the problem, at least, at the
driver level.

For a particular driver error condition, driver was doing double
scsi_dma_unmaps. Driver was calling scsi_dma_unmap in
pmcraid_error_handler and return 0. This pmcraid_error_handler is called
by pmcraid_io_done which will do scsi_dma_unmap again when it has
return 0 from pmcraid_error_handler.

When the hba port gets logged out of the fabric, or other
such transitional state when the physical link is still present,
the driver doesn't receive a loop up asyn event (where the link
data rate currently gets set). Hence send a explicit mailbox command
to get the link rate in such conditions.
