The numd field of directive receive command takes number of dwords to
transfer. This fix has the correct calculation for numd.

<title>nvme: fix nvme reset command timeout handling</title>

We need to return an error if a timeout occurs on any NVMe command during
initialization. Without this, the nvme reset work will be stuck. A timeout
will have a negative error code, meaning we need to stop initializing
the controller. All postitive returns mean the controller is still usable.

Currently we create the sysfs entry even if we fail mapping
it. In that case, the unmapping will not remove the sysfs created
file. There is no good reason to create a sysfs entry for a non
working CMB and show his characteristics.

<title>nvmet_fc: add defer_req callback for deferment of cmd buffer return</title>

<content type='text'>
At queue creation, the transport allocates a local job struct
(struct nvmet_fc_fcp_iod) for each possible element of the queue.
When a new CMD is received from the wire, a jobs struct is allocated
from the queue and then used for the duration of the command.
The job struct contains buffer space for the wire command iu. Thus,
upon allocation of the job struct, the cmd iu buffer is copied to
the job struct and the LLDD may immediately free/reuse the CMD IU
buffer passed in the call.

However, in some circumstances, due to the packetized nature of FC
and the api of the FC LLDD which may issue a hw command to send the
wire response, but the LLDD may not get the hw completion for the
command and upcall the nvmet_fc layer before a new command may be
asynchronously received on the wire. In other words, its possible
for the initiator to get the response from the wire, thus believe a
command slot free, and send a new command iu. The new command iu
may be received by the LLDD and passed to the transport before the
LLDD had serviced the hw completion and made the teardown calls for
the original job struct. As such, there is no available job struct
available for the new io. E.g. it appears like the host sent more
queue elements than the queue size. It didn't based on it's
understanding.

Rather than treat this as a hard connection failure queue the new
request until the job struct does free up. As the buffer isn't
copied as there's no job struct, a special return value must be
returned to the LLDD to signify to hold off on recycling the cmd
iu buffer.  And later, when a job struct is allocated and the
buffer copied, a new LLDD callback is introduced to notify the
LLDD and allow it to recycle it's command iu buffer.

Some broken controllers (such as earlier Linux targets) pad model or
serial fields with 0-bytes rather than spaces. The NVMe spec disallows
0 bytes in "ASCII" fields.  Thus strip trailing 0-bytes, too. Also make
sure that we get no underflow for pathological input.

With a misbehaving controller it's possible we'll never
enter the live state and create an admin queue. When we
fail out of reset work it's possible we failed out early
enough without setting up the admin queue. We tear down
queues after a failed reset, but needed to do some more
sanitization.

It's possible the preferred HMB size may not be a multiple of the
chunk_size. This patch moves len to function scope and uses that in
the for loop increment so the last iteration doesn't cause the total
size to exceed the allocated HMB size.

Based on an earlier patch from Keith Busch.

<title>nvme-fc: revise TRADDR parsing</title>

The FC-NVME spec hasn't locked down on the format string for TRADDR.
Currently the spec is lobbying for "nn-&lt;16hexdigits&gt;:pn-&lt;16hexdigits&gt;"
where the wwn's are hex values but not prefixed by 0x.

Most implementations so far expect a string format of
"nn-0x&lt;16hexdigits&gt;:pn-0x&lt;16hexdigits&gt;" to be used. The transport
uses the match_u64 parser which requires a leading 0x prefix to set
the base properly. If it's not there, a match will either fail or return
a base 10 value.

The resolution in T11 is pushing out. Therefore, to fix things now and
to cover any eventuality and any implementations already in the field,
this patch adds support for both formats.

The change consists of replacing the token matching routine with a
routine that validates the fixed string format, and then builds
a local copy of the hex name with a 0x prefix before calling
the system parser.

Note: the same parser routine exists in both the initiator and target
transports. Given this is about the only "shared" item, we chose to
replicate rather than create an interdendency on some shared code.

<title>nvme-fc: address target disconnect race conditions in fcp io submit</title>

There are cases where threads are in the process of submitting new
io when the LLDD calls in to remove the remote port. In some cases,
the next io actually goes to the LLDD, who knows the remoteport isn't
present and rejects it. To properly recovery/restart these i/o's we
don't want to hard fail them, we want to treat them as temporary
resource errors in which a delayed retry will work.

Add a couple more checks on remoteport connectivity and commonize the
busy response handling when it's seen.

<title>nvme: also provide a UUID in the WWID sysfs attribute</title>

The WWID sysfs attribute can provide multiple means of a World Wide ID
for a NVMe device. It can either be a NGUID, a EUI-64 or a concatenation
of VID, Serial Number, Model and the Namespace ID in this order of
preference.

If the target also sends us a UUID use the UUID for identification and
give it the highest priority.

This eases generation of /dev/disk/by-* symlinks.
