If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this
information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped
on the floor. Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug
only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss
driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a
cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain
why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command
used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold
at most 255 scatter gather elements. It should have been cast to
a u16. Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller
since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right
value resulting in an i/o error.

The default is too small (1024 blocks), use h->cciss_max_sectors (8192 blocks)
Without this change, if you try to set the block size of a tape drive above
512*1024, via "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk nnn" where nnn is greater than 524288,
it won't work right.

A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than
one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer. This meant
that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid
layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a
userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was
therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer.
This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid
layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight
away. This means that users will see their tape drives and medium
changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that
does this:
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss*
do
echo "engage scsi" > $x
done
However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid
layer will not be engaged. If a tape drive or medium change is later
hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script
or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible.

This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives
and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel
parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range
of 2 - 16 inclusive. Previously, the driver limited the number of
commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver
to only 2. This is to fix the problem that if you had more than
two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all
at the same time.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

cciss: separate cmd_alloc() and cmd_special_alloc()
cmd_alloc() took a parameter which caused it to either allocate
from a pre-allocated pool, or allocate using pci_alloc_consistent.
This parameter is always known at compile time, so this would
be better handled by breaking the function into two functions
and differentiating the cases by function names. Same goes
for cmd_free().

cciss: Set the performant mode bit in the scsi half of the driver
In a couple of places, the performant mode bit wasn't being set in
the scsi half of the driver, causing commands to seem to hang. Use
enqueue_cmd_and_start_io() where appropriate. This fixes a bug that
echo engage scsi > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
would hang.

Add a mode of controller operation called Performant Mode. Even though
cciss has been deprecated in favor of hpsa there are new controllers due
out next year that HP must support in older vendor distros. Vendors
require all fixes/features be upstream. These new controllers support
only 16 commands in simple mode but support up to 1024 in performant mode.
This requires us to add this support at this late date.
The performant mode transport minimizes host PCI accesses by performinf
many completions per read. PCI writes are posted so the host can write
then immediately get off the bus not waiting for the writwe to complete to
the target. In the context of performant mode the host read out to a
controller pulls all posted writes into host memory ensuring the reply
queue is coherent.

cciss: Fix problem with scatter gather elements in the scsi half of the driver
When support for more than 31 scatter gather elements was added to the block
half of the driver, the SCSI half of the driver was not addressed, and the bump
from 31 to 32 scatter gather elements in the command block itself (not chained)
actually broke the SCSI half of the driver, so that any transfer requiring 32
scatter gather elements wouldn't work. This fix also increases the max transfer
size and size of the scatter gather table to the limit supported by the controller
