Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is mostly updates of the usual drivers: UFS, esp_scsi, NCR5380,
qla2xxx, lpfc, libsas, hisi_sas.
In addition there's a set of mostly small updates to the target
subsystem a set of conversions to the generic DMA API, which do have
some potential for issues in the older drivers but we'll handle those
as case by case fixes.
A new myrs driver for the DAC960/mylex raid controllers to replace the
block based DAC960 which is also being removed by Jens in this merge
window.
Plus the usual slew of trivial changes"
[ "myrs" stands for "MYlex Raid Scsi". Obviously. Silly of me to even
wonder. There's also a "myrb" driver, where the 'b' stands for
'block'. Truly, somebody has got mad naming skillz. - Linus ]

For now, just provide an API to allocate and remove ufs-bsg node. We
will use this framework to manage ufs devices by sending UPIU
transactions.
For the time being, implements an empty bsg_request() - will add some
more functionality in coming patches.
Nonetheless, we reveal here the protocol we are planning to use: UFS
Transport Protocol Transactions. UFS transactions consist of packets
called UFS Protocol Information Units (UPIU).
There are UPIU’s defined for UFS SCSI commands, responses, data in and
data out, task management, utility functions, vendor functions,
transaction synchronization and control, and more.
By using UPIUs, we get access to the most fine-grained internals of this
protocol, and able to communicate with the device in ways, that are
sometimes beyond the capacity of the ufs driver.
Moreover and as a result, our core structure - ufs_bsg_node has a pretty
lean structure: using upiu transactions that contains the outmost
detailed info, so we don't really need complex constructs to support it.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

If a failed command is retried and fails again we need
to enter SCSI EH, otherwise we will never be able to
recover the command.
To detect this situation we must not clear scmd->eh_eflags
when EH finishes but rather make it persistent throughout
the lifetime of the command.
