Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly updates to the usual drivers: mpt3sas, lpfc, qla2xxx,
  hisi_sas, smartpqi, megaraid_sas, arcmsr.

  In addition, with the continuing absence of Nic we have target updates
  for tcmu and target core (all with reviews and acks).

  The biggest observable change is going to be that we're (again) trying
  to switch to mulitqueue as the default (a user can still override the
  setting on the kernel command line).

  Other major core stuff is the removal of the remaining Microchannel
  drivers, an update of the internal timers and some reworks of

Move all the checking for pkey and other validity to the __ipoib_vlan_add
function. This removes the last difference from the control flow
of the __ipoib_vlan_add to make the overall design simpler to

<title>IB/ipoib: Maintain the child_intfs list from ndo_init/uninit</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes a bug in the netlink path where the vlan_rwsem was not
held around __ipoib_vlan_add causing the child_intfs to be manipulated
unsafely.

In the process this greatly simplifies the vlan_rwsem write side locking
to only cover a single non-sleeping statement.

This also further increases the safety of the removal ordering by holding
the netdev of the parent while the child is active to ensure most bugs
become either an oops on a NULL priv or a deadlock on the netdev refcount.

Switching to priv_destructor and needs_free_netdev created a subtle
ordering problem in ipoib_remove_one.

Now that unregister_netdev frees the netdev and priv we must ensure that
the children are unregistered before trying to unregister the parent,
or child unregister will use after free.

The solution is to unregister the children, then parent, in the same batch
all while holding the rtnl_lock. This closes all the races where a new
child could have been added and ensures proper ordering.

<title>IB/ipoib: Get rid of the sysfs_mutex</title>

<content type='text'>
This mutex was introduced to deal with the deadlock formed by calling
unregister_netdev from within the sysfs callback of a netdev.

Now that we have priv_destructor and needs_free_netdev we can switch
to the more targeted solution of running the unregister from a
work queue. This avoids the deadlock and gets rid of the mutex.

The next patch in the series needs this mutex eliminated to create
atomicity of unregisteration.

Now that the unregister_netdev flow for IPoIB no longer relies on external
code we can now introduce the use of priv_destructor and
needs_free_netdev.

The rdma_netdev flow is switched to use the netdev common priv_destructor
instead of the special free_rdma_netdev and the IPOIB ULP adjusted:
 - priv_destructor needs to switch to point to the ULP's destructor
   which will then call the rdma_ndev's in the right order
 - We need to be careful around the error unwind of register_netdev
   as it sometimes calls priv_destructor on failure
 - ULPs need to use ndo_init/uninit to ensure proper ordering
   of failures around register_netdev

Switching to priv_destructor is a necessary pre-requisite to using
the rtnl new_link mechanism.

The VNIC user for rdma_netdev should also be revised, but that is left for
another patch.

Now that we have a proper ndo_uninit, move code that naturally pairs
with the ndo_uninit into ndo_init. This allows the netdev core to natually
handle ordering.

This fixes the situation where register_netdev can fail before calling
ndo_init, in which case it wouldn't call ndo_uninit either.

Also move a bunch of duplicated init code that is shared between child
and parent for clarity. Now the child and parent register functions look
very similar.

<title>IB/ipoib: Move all uninit code into ndo_uninit</title>

Currently uninit is sometimes done twice in error flows, and is sprinkled
a bit all over the place.

Improve the clarity of the design by moving all uninit only into
ndo_uinit.

Some duplication is removed:
 - Sometimes IPOIB_STOP_NEIGH_GC was done before unregister, but
   this duplicates the process in ipoib_neigh_hash_init
 - Flushing priv-&gt;wq was sometimes done before unregister,
   but that duplicates what has been done in ndo_uninit

Uniniting the IB event queue must remain before unregister_netdev as it
requires the RTNL lock to be dropped, this is moved to a helper to make
that flow really clear and remove some duplication in error flows.

If register_netdev fails (and ndo_init is NULL) then it almost always
calls ndo_uninit, which lets us remove all the extra code from the error
unwinds. The next patch in the series will close the 'almost always' hole
by pairing a proper ndo_init with ndo_uninit.
