Handle up to 8 block layer requests per HW request. These requests
can be processed in parallel on the device leading to better
throughput (and less interrupts). The overhead for additional
requests is small since we don't blindly allocate new aidaws but
try to use what's left of the previous one.

AOBs (the structure describing the HW request) need to be 4K
aligned but very little of that page is actually used. With
this patch we place aidaws at the end of the AOB page and only
allocate a separate page for aidaws when we have to (lists of
aidaws must not cross page boundaries).

During device activation all paths could be lost and since the device
is not active it has no indication of this fact - hence the CQR will
time-out. The following cancelation might fail with -EINVAL because
CIO took over control and started path verification. In this case mark
the CQR as being CLEARED since it could not be running any more.

All drivers use the implementation for ramping the queue up and down, so
instead of overloading the change_queue_depth method call the
implementation diretly if the driver opts into it by setting the
track_queue_depth flag in the host template.
Note that a few drivers validated the new queue depth in their
change_queue_depth method, but as we never go over the queue depth
set during slave_configure or the sysfs file this isn't nessecary
and can safely be removed.

This patch improves the Fibre Channel port scan behaviour of the zfcp lldd.
Without it the zfcp device driver may churn up the storage area network by
excessive scanning and scan bursts, particularly in big virtual server
environments, potentially resulting in interference of virtual servers and
reduced availability of storage connectivity.
The two main issues as to the zfcp device drivers automatic port scan in
virtual server environments are frequency and simultaneity.
On the one hand, there is no point in allowing lots of ports scans
in a row. It makes sense, though, to make sure that a scan is conducted
eventually if there has been any indication for potential SAN changes.
On the other hand, lots of virtual servers receiving the same indication
for a SAN change had better not attempt to conduct a scan instantly,
that is, at the same time.
Hence this patch has a two-fold approach for better port scanning:
the introduction of a rate limit to amend frequency issues, and the
introduction of a short random backoff to amend simultaneity issues.
Both approaches boil down to deferred port scans, with delays
comprising parts for both approaches.
The new port scan behaviour is summarised best by:
NEW: NEW:
no_auto_port_rescan random rate flush
backoff limit =wait
adapter resume/thaw yes yes no yes*
adapter online (user) no yes no yes*
port rescan (user) no no no yes
adapter recovery (user) yes yes yes no
adapter recovery (other) yes yes yes no
incoming ELS yes yes yes no
incoming ELS lost yes yes yes no
Implementation is straight-forward by converting an existing worker to
a delayed worker. But care is needed whenever that worker is going to be
flushed (in order to make sure work has been completed), since a flush
operation cancels the timer set up for deferred execution (see * above).
There is a small race window whenever a port scan work starts
running up to the point in time of storing the time stamp for that port
scan. The impact is negligible. Closing that gap isn't trivial, though, and
would the destroy the beauty of a simple work-to-delayed-work conversion.

Through sysfs attributes, zfcp unit objects
provide a trigger for manual LUN recovery
and export information for problem determination.
With commit
f8210e34887e1feb977a9b6b8caa086855af40c9
"[SCSI] zfcp: Allow midlayer to scan for LUNs when running in NPIV mode"
and when attaching SCSI devices through this new optional method,
no more zfcp unit objects are allocated for such SCSI devices.
Hence, the above-mentioned trigger and information were missing.
The information and context is located in SCSI transport device data since
b62a8d9b45b971a67a0f8413338c230e3117dff5
"[SCSI] zfcp: Use SCSI device data zfcp_scsi_dev instead of zfcp_unit"
57c237731b92fadc7d44824276313ec330b1989b
"[SCSI] zfcp: Add zfcp private struct as SCSI device driver data"
Hence, introduce the trigger and the information unconditionally
for all SCSI devices attached through zfcp.
We prefix the attribute names with 'zfcp_' to prevent collisions and
to avoid mix-ups such as with the common 'state' attribute.
Since some of the new attribute views do not need zfcp_port
in the ZFCP_DEFINE_SCSI_ATTR helper macro, remove zfcp_port
to avoid compiler warnings on unused variable.
It's easy to open code the conversion from zfcp_scsi_dev to zfcp_port
for the two already existing attributes hba_id and wwpn.

Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
untagged commands in the driver.
Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling
->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks
broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.
Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type,
and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.
Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure
that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.
To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"The big thing in this pile is Eric's unmount-on-rmdir series; we
finally have everything we need for that. The final piece of prereqs
is delayed mntput() - now filesystem shutdown always happens on
shallow stack.
Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt
Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to
->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c
cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which
gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long
and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the
place.
This is just the first pile; there's a lot of stuff from various
people that ought to go in this window. Starting with
unionmount/overlayfs mess... ;-/"

With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the
prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and
REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel.
The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector
registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register
ELF note. The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31.
The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of
machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore
at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for
kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract
the registers of the production system.
The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional
status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored
with the VSTM instruction.
With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

Error recovery requests may not be cleaned up correctly so that other

This would lead to an infinite loop trying to build erp requests.

The only way we can get to that function is from misc_open(), after
the latter has set file->f_op to exactly the same value we are
(re)assigning there.

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.
