This makes vio_register_driver() get the module owner & name at compile
time like PCI drivers do, and adds a name pointer directly in struct
vio_driver to avoid having to explicitly initialize the embedded
struct device.

This patch fixes an issue seen where an event occurs
which causes the ibmvscsi driver to reset its CRQ. Upon
re-registering its CRQ, it receives H_CLOSED, indicating
the Virtual I/O Server is not yet ready to receive commands.
This resulted in the ibmvscsi driver essentially offlining
the adapter and not recovering. The fix is to re-enable
our interrupt so that when the Virtual I/O server is ready
and sends a CRQ init, we will be able to receive it and
resume initialization of the VSCSI adapter.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

If a Virtual I/O server is rebooted, the client fibre channel sees a
transport event on its CRQ, which causes it to attempt to reconnect
to the CRQ. For a period of time during the VIOS reboot, the client's
attempts to register the CRQ will return H_CLOSED, indicating the server
side is not currently registered. The ibmvfc driver was not handling
this well and was taking the virtual adapter offline. Fix this by
re-enabling our interrupt and waiting for the event on our CRQ
indicating the server is back, at which point we can reconnect.

This removes the driver's get_host_def_dev_loss_tmo
callback and just has the driver set the dev loss
using the fc class fc_host_dev_loss_tmo macro like is
done for other fc params.
This patch also removes the module dev loss param.
To override the value the fc host sysfs value being

By default, ibmvfc does not log any async events in order
to avoid flooding the log with them. Improve on this by
logging by default events that are not likely to flood the
log, such as link up/down. Having these events in the log
will improve the ability to debug issues with ibmvfc.

The ibmvfc driver was incorrectly obtaining a scsi_target pointer
from an fc_rport. The way it is coded ensures that ibmvfc's

Commit 43c8da907ccc656935d1085701f4db83385d8a59 introduced a race
condition which can occur when adding/deleting rports. There are
two possible threads now that can be deleting rports in the ibmvfc
driver, which can result in list_del being called twice, resulting
in an oops. This patch adds a new state to the ibmvfc_target struct
to indicate the target has been removed from the list and is in
the process of being deleted.

Commands which are completed by the VIOS are placed on a CRQ
in kernel memory for the ibmvfc driver to process. Each CRQ
entry is 16 bytes. The ibmvfc driver reads the first 8 bytes
to check if the entry is valid, then reads the next 8 bytes to get
the handle, which is a pointer the completed command. This fixes
an issue seen on Power 7 where the processor reordered the
loads from memory, resulting in processing command completion
with a stale handle. This could result in command timeouts,
and also early completion of commands.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When processing the response to either a LUN reset,

treat as success receiving a response with a non-zero
status in the response IU along with a general transport
error with the FCP response code being zero. The VIOS
currently guarantees this cannot happen, but a future version
of VIOS may allow this to be returned, so ensure we handle
this response combination correctly for TMFs, as we already

Add support to ibmvscsi for the capabilities MAD. This command gets sent
to the Virtual I/O server prior to login in order to communicate client
capabilities. Additionally it returns information regarding capabilities
that the server supports. The two main capabilities communicated in this
MAD are related to partition migration and client reserve. Client reserve
allows for SCSI-2 reservations to be sent to virtual disks which are backed
by physical LUNs and will result in the reservation being sent to the
physical LUN.

A new mode of error reporting, fast fail, has been added to the VIOS
which allows failover to happen more quickly.
If this new fast fail mode is enabled on the VIOS and the vSCSI client
supports the mode, the VIOS will not return MEDIUM error on path failures,
but rather return VIOSRP_ADAPTER_FAIL in the crq response, which
ibmvscsi will translate to DID_ERROR.
This new mode can be enabled for single path configurations as well,
so it is the new default error reporting mode. A module parameter is
provided to disable this new behavior on the off chance it causes a
problem on some old VIOS version.
