commit ac61c46f4f7665ab4548e90430c37b2529e16cff upstream.

If the compiled object doesn't include linux/scatterlist.h before
scsi/scsi.h, it will get an incorrect definition of
SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_SEGMENTS.

<title>scsi: use __uX types for headers exported to user space</title>

Commit 9e4f5e29 ("FC Pass Thru support") exported a number of header files
in include/scsi to user space, but didn't change the uX types to the
userspace-compatible __uX types.  Without that you'll get compile errors
when including them - E.G.:

include/scsi/scsi.h:145: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before `u8'

<title>[SCSI] implement runtime Power Management</title>

<id>bc4f24014de58f045f169742701a6598884d93db</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as1398b) adds runtime PM support to the SCSI layer.  Only
the machanism is provided; use of it is up to the various high-level
drivers, and the patch doesn't change any of them.  Except for sg --
the patch expicitly prevents a device from being runtime-suspended
while its sg device file is open.

The implementation is simplistic.  In general, hosts and targets are
automatically suspended when all their children are asleep, but for
them the runtime-suspend code doesn't actually do anything.  (A host's
runtime PM status is propagated up the device tree, though, so a
runtime-PM-aware lower-level driver could power down the host adapter
hardware at the appropriate times.)  There are comments indicating
where a transport class might be notified or some other hooks added.

LUNs are runtime-suspended by calling the drivers' existing suspend
handlers (and likewise for runtime-resume).  Somewhat arbitrarily, the
implementation delays for 100 ms before suspending an eligible LUN.
This is because there typically are occasions during bootup when the
same device file is opened and closed several times in quick
succession.

The way this all works is that the SCSI core increments a device's
PM-usage count when it is registered.  If a high-level driver does
nothing then the device will not be eligible for runtime-suspend
because of the elevated usage count.  If a high-level driver wants to
use runtime PM then it can call scsi_autopm_put_device() in its probe
routine to decrement the usage count and scsi_autopm_get_device() in
its remove routine to restore the original count.

Hosts, targets, and LUNs are not suspended while they are being probed
or removed, or while the error handler is running.  In fact, a fairly
large part of the patch consists of code to make sure that things
aren't suspended at such times.

We have two separate definitions for identical constants with nearly the
same name.  One comes from the generic headers in scsi.h; the other is
an enum in libsas.h ... it's causing confusion about which one is
correct (fortunately they both are).

Incoming requests shouldn't require a local exchange if we're
just going to reply with one or two frames and don't expect
anything further.  Don't allocate exchanges for such requests
until requested by the upper-layer protocol.

The sequence is always NULL for new requests, so remove
that as an argument to request handlers.

Also change the first argument to lport-&gt;tt.seq_els_rsp_send
from the sequence pointer to the received frame pointer, to
supply the exchange IDs and destination ID info.

To pave the way for eliminating exchanges from incoming requests,
add simple inline fc_frame_sid() and fc_frame_did() functions
which get the FC_IDs from the frame header.  This can be almost
as efficient as getting them from the sequence/exchange.

Move ntohll, htonll, ntoh24 and hton24 to &lt;scsi/fc_frame.h&gt;

The LOGO state hasn't been used in a while, except in a brief
transition to DELETE state while holding the rport mutex.
All port LOGO responses have been ignored as well as any timeout
if we don't get a response.

So this patch just removes LOGO state and simplifies the response handler.
