The original API returned either an ERR_PTR() or a refcounted sdev.
Unfortunately, if it's successful, you need to do a scsi_device_put() on
the sdev otherwise the refcounting is wrong.
Everyone seems to expect that scsi_add_device() should be callable
without doing the ref put, so alter the API so it is (we still have
__scsi_add_device with the original behaviour).
The only actual caller that needs altering is the one in firewire ...
not because it gets this right, but because it acts on the error if one
is returned.

On some platforms the hard-casting of 8 byte node_name and
port_name arrays to an u64 would cause unaligned-access
warnings. Generalize the conversions with a transport
helper function which performs consistent shifting of WWN
bytes.

The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.
In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.
There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.
This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.
I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
of course very welcome.
I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
design.

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.

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.

This patch is necessary if we begin exposing underlying physical disks
(which can attach to the SPI transport class) of the hardware RAID
cards, since we don't want any SPI parameters binding to the RAID
devices.

We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on
the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the
system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which
inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by
the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport.
The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport()
routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer.
Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses:
- If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport,
we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent.
- We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both
the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport
(parent=rport).

There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return
BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever. This code will apply a global timeout (of
the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given
command. If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its
state.
The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and
timeout_total.
This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer
because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device.
In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset,
so possibly this should be tied into the error handler?

This parameter is important only to people who take the time to tune the
margin control settings, otherwise it's completely irrelevant. However,
just in case anyone should want to do this, it's appropriate to include
the parameter.
I don't do anything with it in DV by design, so the parameter will come
up as off by default, so if anyone actually wants to play with the
margin control settings they'll have to enable it under the
spi_transport class first.
I also updated the transfer settings display to report all of the PPR
settings instead of only DT, IU and QAS

One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value
into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device.
Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping,
setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between
how our driver did it and others. I also got very confused as
to why byteswap routines were being used.
Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the
midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity
(note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount
that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally).
This also solves the dilemma of the thread:

A patch for the lpfc driver to use this function will be along
in a few days (batched with other patches).

We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it
for sending internal commands. That usage can be fixed easily because
those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily
use a completion there.
