The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and

By default the cciss driver supports all "older" HP Smart Array
controllers and hpsa supports all controllers starting with the G6 family.
There are module parameters that allow a user to override those defaults
and use hpsa for any HP Smart Array controller.
If the user does override the default behavior and uses hpsa for older
controllers it is possible that cciss may try to load in a kdump crash
kernel. This may happen if cciss is loaded first from the kdump initrd
image. If cciss does load rather than hpsa and reset_devices is true we
immediately call cciss_hard_reset_controller. This will result in a
kernel panic and the core file cannot be created. This patch prevents
cciss from trying to load in this scenario.

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:
- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."

drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies

cciss: use check_signature()

drbd: use copy_highpage
drbd: if the replication link breaks during handshake, keep retrying
drbd: check return of kmalloc in receive_uuids
drbd: Broadcast sync progress no more often than once per second
drbd: don't try to clear bits once the disk has failed
...
We weren't filling in the transfer length of the
flush cache command (it transfers 4 bytes of zeroes).
Firmware didn't seem to be bothered by this, but it
should be fixed.

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.

The P600 requires a small delay when changing states. Otherwise we may think
the board did not reset and we bail. This for kdump only and is particular

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.
