scsi: cciss: Drop obsolete driver

2017-08-25T02:28:57+00:00

The hpsa driver now has support for all boards the cciss driver
used to support, so this patch removes the cciss driver and
make hpsa an alias to cciss.

cciss: initialize struct scsi_req

2017-07-06T18:23:51+00:00

The changes in "block: Make most scsi_req_init() calls implicit" mean
that every driver that supports the generic scsi ioctls needs to
call scsi_req_init on newly allocated requests, but that commit didn't
add the call to the ccіss driver.  Fix that to avoid crashes when
udev issues SG_IO commands.

block: introduce new block status code type

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

block: Introduce queue flag QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH

2017-06-01T19:10:40+00:00

From the context where a SCSI command is submitted it is not always
possible to figure out whether or not the queue the command is
submitted to has struct scsi_request as the first member of its
private data. Hence introduce the flag QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH.

scsi: introduce a result field in struct scsi_request

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

This passes on the scsi_cmnd result field to users of passthrough
requests.  Currently we abuse req->errors for this purpose, but that
field will go away in its current form.

Note that the old IDE code abuses the errors field in very creative
ways and stores all kinds of different values in it.  I didn't dare
to touch this magic, so the abuses are brought forward 1:1.

block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space

2017-01-31T21:00:44+00:00

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

block: introduce blk_rq_is_passthrough

2017-01-31T21:00:34+00:00

This can be used to check for fs vs non-fs requests and basically
removes all knowledge of BLOCK_PC specific from the block layer,
as well as preparing for removing the cmd_type field in struct request.
