This patch makes the rebuild_lun_table smart enough to not rip a logical
volume out from under the OS. Without this fix if a customer is running
hpacucli to monitor their storage the driver will blindly remove and re-add
the disks whenever the utility calls the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl. Unfortunately,
both hpacucli and ACUXE call the ioctl repeatedly. Customers have reported
IO coming to a standstill. Calling the ioctl is the problem, this patch is
the fix.

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.

When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.

These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus.  These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock.  On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices.  If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c.  Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.

All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions.  Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though).  For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel.  Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there.  Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).

There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying.  Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate).  See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch

I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons.  It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go".  nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

The wodim says:

This happened because we ignored the supplied timeout and used 5s.

this is simple and works.
