We need ata_scsi_dma_need_drain for all drivers wired up to drive ATAPI
devices through libata.  That also includes the SAS HBA drivers in addition
to native libata HBA drivers.

  some other minor updates.

Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the actual
output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given buffer limit.
Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().

As a part of the scan process Linux will allocate and configure a
scsi_device for each target to be scanned. If the device is not present,
then the scsi_device is torn down. As a part of scsi_device teardown a
workqueue item will be scheduled and the lockups we see are because there
are 250k workqueue items to be processed.  Accoding to the specification of
SIS-64 sas controller, max_channel should be decreased on SIS-64 adapters
to 4.

The patch fixes softlockup issue.

Thanks for Oliver Halloran's help with debugging and explanation!

As a part of the scan process Linux will allocate and configure a
scsi_device for each target to be scanned. If the device is not present,
then the scsi_device is torn down. As a part of scsi_device teardown a
workqueue item will be scheduled and the lockups we see are because there
are 250k workqueue items to be processed.  Accoding to the specification of
SIS-64 sas controller, max_channel should be decreased on SIS-64 adapters
to 4.

The patch fixes softlockup issue.

Thanks for Oliver Halloran's help with debugging and explanation!

<title>compat_ioctl: scsi: handle HDIO commands from drivers</title>

<content type='text'>
The ata_sas_scsi_ioctl() function implements a number of HDIO_* commands
for SCSI devices, it is used by all libata drivers as well as a few
drivers that support SAS attached SATA drives.

The only command that is not safe for compat ioctls here is
HDIO_GET_32BIT. Change the implementation to check for in_compat_syscall()
in order to do both cases correctly, and change all callers to use it
as both native and compat callback pointers, including the indirect
callers through sas_ioctl and ata_scsi_ioctl.

Pull SCSI scatter-gather list updates from James Bottomley:
 "This topic branch covers a fundamental change in how our sg lists are
  allocated to make mq more efficient by reducing the size of the
  preallocated sg list.

  This necessitates a large number of driver changes because the
  previous guarantee that if a driver specified SG_ALL as the size of
  its scatter list, it would get a non-chained list and didn't need to
  bother with scatterlist iterators is now broken and every driver
  *must* use scatterlist iterators.

  This was broken out as a separate topic because we need to convert all
  the drivers before pulling the trigger and unconverted drivers kept
  being found, necessitating a rebase"

Unlike the legacy I/O path, scsi-mq preallocates a large array to hold
the scatterlist for each request. This static allocation can consume
substantial amounts of memory on modern controllers which support a
large number of concurrently outstanding requests.

To facilitate a switch to a smaller static allocation combined with a
dynamic allocation for requests that need it, we need to make sure all
SCSI drivers handle chained scatterlists correctly.

Convert remaining drivers that directly dereference the scatterlist
array to using the iterator functions.
