      Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes. · 6f039790
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

      [SCSI] pm8001: raise host can queue · 99c72ebc
      Mark Salyzyn authored 
      
This is a followup to a patch provided by Jack Wang on September 21 2011.

After increasing the CAN_QUEUE to 510 in pm8001 we discovered some performance
degredation from time to time. We needed to increase the MPI queue to
compensate and ensure we never hit that limit. We also needed to double
the margin to support event and administrivial commands that take from
the pool resulting in an occasional largely unproductive command completion
with soft error to the caller when the command pool is overloaded temporarily.

      [SCSI] pm8001: deficient responses to IO_XFER_ERROR_BREAK and IO_XFER_OPEN_RETRY_TIMEOUT · 5954d738
      Mark Salyzyn authored 
      
IO_XFER_ERROR_BREAK and IO_XFER_OPEN_RETRY_TIMEOUT are deficient of the
required actions as outlined in the programming manual for the pm8001. Due to
the overlapping code requirements of these recovery responses, we found it
necessary to bundle them together into one patch.

When a break is received during the command phase (ssp_completion), this is a
result of a timeout or interruption on the bus. Logic suggests that we should
retry the command.

When a break is received during the data-phase (ssp_event), the task must be
aborted on the target or it will retain a data-phase lock turning the target
reticent to all future media commands yet will successfully respond to TUR,
INQUIRY and ABORT leading eventually to target failure through several
abort-cycle loops.

The open retry interval is exceedingly short resulting in occasional target
drop-off during expander resets or when targets push-back during bad-block
remapping. Increased effective timeout from 130ms to 1.5 seconds for each try
so as to trigger after the administrative inquiry/tur timeout in the scsi
subsystem to keep error-recovery harmonics to a minimum.

When an open retry timeout event is received, the action required by the
targets is to issue an abort for the outstanding command then logic suggests
we retry the command as this state is usually an indication of a credit block
or busy condition on the target.

We hijacked the pm8001_handle_event work queue handler so that it will handle
task as an argument instead of device for the workers in support of the
deferred handling outlined above.

      [SCSI] pm8001: Add FUNC_GET_EVENTS · d95d0001
      Mark Salyzyn authored 
      
Jack noticed I dropped a patch fragment associated with a flags automatic
variable in mpi_set_phys_g3_with_ssc (ooops) and that the pre-emptive locking
that piggy-backed this patch was not in-fact necessary because of underlying
atomic accesses to the hardware. Here is the updated patch fixing these two
issues.

The pm8001 driver is missing the FUNC_GET_EVENTS handler in the phy control
function. Since the pm8001_bar4_shift function was not designed to be called
at runtime, added locking surrounding the adjustment for all accesses.

      [SCSI] pm8001: missing break statements · 6fbc7692
      Mark Salyzyn authored 
      
Code Inspection: found two missing break directives. First one will
result in not retrying an a task that report
IO_OPEN_CNX_ERROR_HW_RESOURCE_BUSY, the second will result in cosmetic
debug printk conflicting statement stutter. Because checkpatch.pl came
up with a warning regarding unnecessary space before a newline on one of
the fragments associated with the diff context, I took the liberty of
fixing all the cases of this issue in the pair of files touched by this
defect. These cosmetic changes hide the break changes :-(

To help focus, break changes are in pm8001_hwi.c fragment line 1649 for
the IO_OPEN_CNX_ERROR_HW_RESOURCE_BUSY case statement and pm8001_sas.c
line 1000 deals with the conflicting debug print stutter.

      [SCSI] pm8001: simplify workqueue usage · 429305e4
      Tejun Heo authored 
      
pm8001 manages its own list of pending works and cancel them on device
free.  It is unnecessarily complex and has a race condition - the
works are canceled but not synced, so the work could still be running
during and after the data structures are freed.

This patch simplifies workqueue usage.

* A driver specific workqueue pm8001_wq is created to serve these
  work items.

* To avoid confusion, the "queue" suffixes are dropped from work items
  and functions.

* Delayed queueing was never used.  pm8001_work now uses work_struct
  instead.

* The driver no longer keeps track of pending works.  All pm8001_works
  are queued to pm8001_wq and the workqueue is flushed as necessary.

flush_scheduled_work() usage is removed during conversion.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo authored 
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking 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.
