Rather than having a separate constant for specifying the timeout on FLUSH
operations, use the basic I/O timeout value that is already configurable
on a per target basis to derive the FLUSH timeout. Looking at the current
definitions of these timeout values, the FLUSH operation is supposed to have
a value that is twice the normal timeout value. This patch preserves this
relationship while leveraging the flexibility of specifying the I/O timeout.

SATA drives located behind a SAS controller would incorrectly receive
WRITE SAME commands. Tweak the heuristics so that:
- If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is provided we will use that to
choose between WRITE SAME(16), WRITE SAME(10) and disabled. This also
fixes an issue with the old code which would issue WRITE SAME(10)
despite the command not being whitelisted in REPORT SUPPORTED
OPERATION CODES.
- If REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES is not provided we will fall back
to WRITE SAME(10) unless the device has an ATA Information VPD page.
The assumption is that a SATL which is smart enough to implement
WRITE SAME would also provide REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES.
To facilitate the new heuristics scsi_report_opcode() has been modified
to so we can distinguish between "operation not supported" and "RSOC not
supported".

Some arrays synchronize their full non volatile cache when the sd driver sends
a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command. Unfortunately, they can have Terrabytes of this
and we send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE for every barrier if an array reports it has a
writeback cache. This leads to massive slowdowns on journalled filesystems.
The fix is to allow userspace to turn off the writeback cache setting as a
temporary measure (i.e. without doing the MODE SELECT to write it back to the
device), so even though the device reported it has a writeback cache, the
user, knowing that the cache is non volatile and all they care about is
filesystem correctness, can turn that bit off in the kernel and avoid the
performance ruinous (and safety irrelevant) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands.
The way you do this is add a 'temporary' prefix when performing the usual
cache setting operations, so
echo temporary write through > /sys/class/scsi_disk/<disk>/cache_type

Implement support for WRITE SAME(10) and WRITE SAME(16) in the SCSI disk
driver.
- We set the default maximum to 0xFFFF because there are several
devices out there that only support two-byte block counts even with
WRITE SAME(16). We only enable transfers bigger than 0xFFFF if the
device explicitly reports MAXIMUM WRITE SAME LENGTH in the BLOCK
LIMITS VPD.
- max_write_same_blocks can be overriden per-device basis in sysfs.
- The UNMAP discovery heuristics remain unchanged but the discard
limits are tweaked to match the "real" WRITE SAME commands.
- In the error handling logic we now distinguish between WRITE SAME
with and without UNMAP set.
The discovery process heuristics are:
- If the device reports a SCSI level of SPC-3 or greater we'll issue
READ SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES to find out whether WRITE SAME(16) is
supported. If that's the case we will use it.
- If the device supports the block limits VPD and reports a MAXIMUM
WRITE SAME LENGTH bigger than 0xFFFF we will use WRITE SAME(16).
- Otherwise we will use WRITE SAME(10) unless the target LBA is beyond
0xFFFFFFFF or the block count exceeds 0xFFFF.
- no_write_same is set for ATA, FireWire and USB.

It does not make sense to translate ref tags with unexpected values.
Instead we simply ignore them and let the upper layers catch the

We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.
The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.
If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.
Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

SBC3r26 contains many changes to the Logical Block Provisioning
interfaces (formerly known as Thin Provisioning ditto). This patch
implements support for both the old and new schemes using the same
heuristic as before (whether the LBP VPD page is present).
The new code also allows the provisioning mode (i.e. choice of command)
to be overridden on a per-device basis via sysfs. Two additional modes
are supported in this version:
- WRITE SAME(10) with the UNMAP bit set
- WRITE SAME(10) without the UNMAP bit set. This allows us to support
devices that predate the TP/LBP enhancements in SBC3 and which work
by way zero-detection
Switching between modes has been consolidated in a helper function that
also updates the block layer topology according to the limitations of
the chosen command.
I experimented with trying WRITE SAME(16) if UNMAP fails, WRITE SAME(10)
if WRITE SAME(16) fails, etc. but found several devices that got
cranky. So for now we'll disable discard if one of the commands
fail. The user still has the option of selecting a different mode in
sysfs.

Replace sd_media_change() with sd_check_events().
* Move media removed logic into set_media_not_present() and
media_not_present() and set sdev->changed iff an existing media is
removed or the device indicates UNIT_ATTENTION.
* Make sd_check_events() sets sdev->changed if previously missing
media becomes present.
* Event is reported only if sdev->changed is set.
This makes media presence event reported if scsi_disk->media_present
actually changed or the device indicated UNIT_ATTENTION. For backward
compatibility, SDEV_EVT_MEDIA_CHANGE is generated each time
sd_check_events() detects media change event.

We have been seeing the flush request timeout with a wide
range of hardware from tgt+iser to FC targets from a major vendor.
After discussions about if the value should be configurable and
what the best value should be, this patch just increases the flush/sync
cache timeout to 1 minute. 2 minutes was determined to be too long, and
making it configurable was troublesome for users.
This patch was made over Linus's tree. It is not made over scsi-misc
or scsi-rc-fixes, because Linus's had block layer changes that my
patch was built over.

Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.
The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.
Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.

This re-introduces commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8,
which was reverted due to the regression it caused by commit
fca082c9f1e11ec07efa8d2f9f13688521253f36.
That regression was not root-caused by the original commit, it was just
uncovered by it, and the real fix was done by Alan Stern in commit
580da34847488b404218d1d7f53b156f245f5555 ("Fix USB storage hang on
command abort").
We can thus re-introduce the change that was confirmed by Alan Jenkins
to be still required by his odd card reader.

would need to be made conditional on the exact reader it fixes in order
to avoid causing regressions.

The last_sector_bug flag was added to work around a bug in certain usb
cardreaders, where they would crash if a multiple sector read included the
last sector. The original implementation avoids this by e.g. splitting an 8
sector read which includes the last sector into a 7 sector read, and a single
sector read for the last sector. The flag is enabled for all USB devices.
This revealed a second bug in other usb cardreaders, which crash when they
get a multiple sector read which stops 1 sector short of the last sector.
Affected hardware includes the Kingston "MobileLite" external USB cardreader
and the internal USB cardreader on the Asus EeePC.
Extend the last_sector_bug workaround to ensure that any access which touches
the last 8 hardware sectors of the device is a single sector long. Requests
are shrunk as necessary to meet this constraint.
This gives us a safety margin against potential unknown or future bugs
affecting multi-sector access to the end of the device. The two known bugs
only affect the last 2 sectors. However, they suggest that these devices
are prone to fencepost errors and that multi-sector access to the end of the
device is not well tested. Popular OS's use multi-sector accesses, but they
rarely read the last few sectors. Linux (with udev & vol_id) automatically
reads sectors from the end of the device on insertion. It is assumed that
single sector accesses are more thoroughly tested during development.

Support for controllers and disks that implement DIF protection
information:
- During command preparation the RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT must be set

- READ(6) and WRITE(6) are not supported when DIF is on.
- The controller must be told how to handle the I/O via the
protection operation field in scsi_cmnd.
- Refactor the I/O completion code that extracts failed LBA from the
returned sense data and handle DIF failures correctly.
- sd_dif.c implements the functions required to prepare and complete
requests with protection information attached.
