- struct scsi_cmnd had a 16 bytes command buffer of its own.
   This is an unnecessary duplication and copy of request's
   cmd. It is probably left overs from the time that scsi_cmnd
   could function without a request attached. So clean that up.

 - Once above is done, few places, apart from scsi-ml, needed
   adjustments due to changing the data type of scsi_cmnd->cmnd.

 - Lots of drivers still use MAX_COMMAND_SIZE. So I have left
   that #define but equate it to BLK_MAX_CDB. The way I see it
   and is reflected in the patch below is.
   MAX_COMMAND_SIZE - means: The longest fixed-length (*) SCSI CDB
                      as per the SCSI standard and is not related
                      to the implementation.
   BLK_MAX_CDB.     - The allocated space at the request level

 - I have audit all ISA drivers and made sure none use ->cmnd in a DMA
   Operation. Same audit was done by Andi Kleen.

(*)fixed-length here means commands that their size can be determined
   by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
   the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
   true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
   vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
   will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
   So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command
   scsi-ml supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's

    [SCSI] fix SLUB WARN_ON

Fixed another problem in free list handling by moving list allocation
from scsi_host_alloc() to scsi_add_host().  Unfortunately it
introduced a new failure mode in that hosts can pass straight from
alloc to put without going through add, leaving the free list
uninitialised.

Fix by checking shost->cmd_pool on the release path to see if it got
initialised.

Newer Dell CERC firmware (>= 6.62) implement a random deletion handling
compatible with the legacy megaraid driver.  The legacy handling shifted
the target ID by 0x80 only for I/O commands (READ/WRITE/etc), whereas
megaraid_mbox shifts the target ID always if random deletion is supported.
The resulted in megaraid_mbox sending an INQUIRY to the wrong channel, and
not finding any devices, obviously.

So we disable the random deletion support if the offending firmware is
found.

The new FCP adapter statistics provide a variety of information about
the virtual adapter (subchannel). In order to collect this information
the zfcp driver is extended to query this information.

The information provided by the new FCP adapter statistics can be
fetched by reading from the following files in the sysfs filesystem

/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/seconds_active
/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/requests
/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/megabytes
/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/utilization

These are the statistics on a virtual adapter (subchannel) level.

means.  No interpretation or modification of the values is done by the

Way back when, when the fc_user_scan routine was created, it kept some
of its original logic that walked the rport list and kicked off a scan.
Unfortunately, it didn't keep any of the locking around the rport list,
nor did it consider the synchronous nature of the scan invoked. The result,
there are some scan requests where the rport list changes, thus a subsequent
scan is called on a bogus rport structure and the system NMI's.

We're getting a WARN_ON from SLUB indicating that we're trying to free
caches with in-use objects.  The root cause is a new dependency in the
command/sense free on unchecked_isa_dma.  The WARN_ON is caused by
drivers which change this in their setup after the command/sense cache
is allocated.

The fix is to move the allocation of this cache into scsi_add_host()
so things like gdth have an opportunity to modify it between alloc and
add (but *not* after).

The true fix would be to move unchecked_isa_dma into the template and
out of the host, so it because a truly read only variable.
