Some SAS HBAs don't want to go to the trouble of tracking port numbers,
so they'd simply like to say "add this port and give it a number".
This is especially beneficial from the hotplug point of view, since
tracking ports and the available number space can be a real pain.
The current implementation uses an incrementing number per expander to
add the port on. However, since there can never be more ports than
there are phys, a later implementation will try to be more intelligent
about this.

Reimplement controller-wide PM. ata_host_set_suspend/resume() are
defined to suspend and resume a host_set. While suspended, EHs for
all ports in the host_set are pegged using ATA_FLAG_SUSPENDED and
frozen.
Because SCSI device hotplug is done asynchronously against the rest of
libata EH and the same mutex is used when adding new device, suspend
cannot wait for hotplug to complete. So, if SCSI device hotplug is in
progress, suspend fails with -EBUSY.
In most cases, host_set resume is followed by device resume. As each
resume operation requires a reset, a single host_set-wide resume
operation may result in multiple resets. To avoid this, resume waits
upto 1 second giving PM to request resume for devices.

Reimplement per-dev PM. The original implementation directly put the
device into suspended mode and didn't synchronize w/ EH operations
including hotplug. This patch reimplements ata_scsi_device_suspend()
and ata_scsi_device_resume() such that they request EH to perform the
respective operations. Both functions synchronize with hotplug such
that it doesn't operate on detached devices.
Suspend waits for completion but resume just issues request and
returns. This allows parallel wake up of devices and thus speeds up
system resume.
Due to sdev detach synchronization, it's not feasible to separate out
EH requesting from sdev handling; thus, ata_device_suspend/resume()
are removed and everything is implemented in the respective
libata-scsi functions.

Implement two PM per-dev EH actions - ATA_EH_SUSPEND and
ATA_EH_RESUME. Each action puts the target device into suspended mode
and resumes from it respectively.
Once a device is put to suspended mode, no EH operations other than
RESUME is allowed on the device. The device will stay suspended till
it gets resumed and thus reset and revalidated. To implement this, a
new device state helper - ata_dev_ready() - is implemented and used in
EH action implementations to make them operate only on attached &
running devices.
If all possible devices on a port are suspended, reset is skipped too.
This prevents spurious events including hotplug events from disrupting
suspended devices.

The names of predefined debounce timing parameters didn't exactly
match their usages. Rename to more generic names and implement param
selection helper sata_ehc_deb_timing() which uses EHI_HOTPLUGGED to
select params.
Combined with the previous EHI_RESUME_LINK differentiation, this makes
parameter selection accurate. e.g. user scan resumes link but normal
deb param is used instead of hotplug param.

Implement ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK, which indicates that the link needs to
be resumed. This used to be implied by ATA_EHI_HOTPLUGGED. However,
hotplug isn't the only event which requires link resume and separating
this out allows other places to request link resume. This
differentiation also allows better debounce timing selection.
This patch converts user scan to use ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK.

ap_lock was used because &ap->host_set->lock was too long and used a
lot. Now that &ap->host_set->lock is replaced with ap->lock, there's
no reason to keep ap_lock.
[ed. note: that's not entirely true. ap_lock is a local variable,
caching the results of a de-ref. In theory, if the compiler is smart
enough, this patch is cosmetic. However, since this is not a fast
path (it is the error path), this patch is nonetheless acceptable,
even though it _may_ introduce a performance regression.]

I got a NULL derefrence in cdev_del+1 when called from sg_remove. By looking at
the code of sg_add, sg_alloc and sg_remove (all in drivers/scsi/sg.c) I found
out that sg_add is calling sg_alloc but if it fails afterwards it does not
deallocate the space that was allocated in sg_alloc and the redundant entry has
NULL in cdev. When sg_remove is being called, it tries to perform cdev_del to
this NULL cdev and fails.

So the drivers do not use the channel numbers, but some do
use the target numbers. We were just adding some goofy
variable that just increases for the target nr. This is useless
for software iscsi because it is always zero. And for qla4xxx
the target nr is actually the index of the target/session
in its FW or FLASH tables. We needed to expose this to userspace
so apps could access those numbers so this patch just adds the
target nr to the iscsi session creation functions. This way
when qla4xxx's Hw thinks a session is at target nr 4
in its hw, it is exposed as that number in sysfs.

qla4xxx is initialized in two steps like other HW drivers.
It allocates the host, sets up the HW, then adds the host.
For iscsi part of HW setup is setting up persistent iscsi
sessions. At that time, the interupts are off and the driver
is not completely set up so we just want to allocate them.
We do not want to add them to sysfs and expose them to userspace
because userspace could try to do lots of fun things with them
like scanning and at that time the driver is not ready.
So this patch breakes up the session creation like other
functions that use the driver model in two the alloc
and add parts. When the driver is ready, it can then add
the sessions and userspace can begin using them.
This also fixes a bug in the addition error patch where
we forgot to do a get on the session.

I do not remember what I was thinking when we added the channel
as a argument to the session create function. It was probably
due to too much cut and paste work from the FC transport class.
The channel is meaningless for iscsi drivers so this patch drops
its usage everywhere in the iscsi related code.

iscsi_tcp and iser cannot be rmmod from the kernel when sessions
are running because session removal is driven from userspace. For
those modules we get a module reference when a session is
created then drop it when the session is removed.
For qla4xxx, they can jsut remove the sessions from the pci remove
function like normal HW drivers, so this patch moves the module
reference from the transport class functions shared by all
drivers to the libiscsi functions only used be software iscsi
modules.

This also has the drivers return specifc -EXXX values for different

If a device gets offlined as a result of the Inquiry sent
during scanning, the following oops can occur. After the
disk gets put into the SDEV_OFFLINE state, the error handler
sends back the failed inquiry, which wakes the thread doing
the scan. This starts a race between the scanning thread
freeing the scsi device and the error handler calling
scsi_run_host_queues to restart the host. Since the disk
is in the SDEV_OFFLINE state, scsi_device_get will still
work, which results in __scsi_iterate_devices getting
a reference to the scsi disk when it shouldn't.
The following execution thread causes the oops:
CPU 0 (scan) CPU 1 (eh)
---------------------------------------------------------
scsi_probe_and_add_lun
....
scsi_eh_offline_sdevs
scsi_eh_flush_done_q
scsi_destroy_sdev

scsi_restart_operations
scsi_run_host_queues
__scsi_iterate_devices
get_device
scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext
scsi_run_queue
<---OOPS--->
The patch fixes this by changing the state of the sdev to SDEV_DEL
before doing the final put_device, which should prevent the race
from occurring.
Original oops follows:

This is a resend of a patch I generated in response to an email sent
by Ruben Faelens <parasietje@gmail.com>. His original email to
linux-scsi requested a method in which he could spin down a scsi disk
when not in use and have the kernel automatically spin it back up when
an I/O was generated to the disk. The infrastructure to automatically
spin a disk up has been in the scsi error handler for some time now,
but it is not enabled by default. This patch adds an sd sysfs attribute
which allows userspace to enable this behavior.
