If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device:  In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called.  In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond
correctly to MSI.  The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be
onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so
default both these cases to disabled.  Enable by setting the module
parameter mpt_msi_enable=1.

For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by
setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.

Currently, ipr does not support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY to SATA devices.
An oops occurs if userspace attempts to send the command. Since hald
issues the command, ensure we fail the ioctl in ipr. This is a
temporary solution to the oops. Once the ipr libata EH conversion
is upstream, ipr will fully support HDIO_GET_IDENTITY.

The problem here is that if the ioc faults too early in the bring up
sequence (as it usually does for an irq routing problem), ioc_reset gets
called before the scsi host is even allocated.  This causes an oops when
it later schedules a renegotiation.  Fix this by checking ioc->sh before
trying to renegotiate.

the patch clears the invalid portion of the buffer.

- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:

[   60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[   60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[   60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[   60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2

Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware.  Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works.  This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR).  In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands.  In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.

We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller.  We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages.  So we made the driver a
little smarter.  We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value.  The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

Please consider this for inclusion.

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active".  I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry.  The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus.  This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.

The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size.  This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.
