Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:

 - one driver patch (qla2xxx) which fixes a problem caused by an
   existing regression fix (FCP discovery is failing)

 - one generic fix to a longstanding bug in libsas that causes I/O
   eventually to hang to the device in the face of ATA error recovery.

When ata device doing EH, some commands still attached with tasks are
not passed to libata when abort failed or recover failed, so libata did
not handle these commands. After these commands done, sas task is freed,
but ata qc is not freed. This will cause ata qc leak and trigger a
warning like below:

If ata qc leaked too many, ata tag allocation will fail and io blocked
for ever.

As suggested by Dan Williams, defer ata device commands to libata and
merge sas_eh_finish_cmd() with sas_eh_defer_cmd(). libata will handle
ata qcs correctly after this.

There are two places queuing the disco event DISCE_REVALIDATE_DOMAIN.
One is in sas_porte_broadcast_rcvd() and uses sas_chain_event() to queue
the event. The other is in sas_enable_revalidation() and uses
sas_queue_event() to queue the event. We have diffrent work queues for
event and discovery now, so the DISCE_REVALIDATE_DOMAIN event may be
processed in both event queue and discovery queue.

Now since we do synchronous event handling, we cannot do it in discovery
queue, so have to trigger a fake broadcast event to re-trigger the
revalidation from event queue.

<title>scsi: libsas: direct call probe and destruct</title>

<id>0558f33c06bb910e2879e355192227a8e8f0219d</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 87c8331fcf72 ("[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery
competing with ata error handling") introduced disco mutex to prevent
rediscovery competing with ata error handling and put the whole
revalidation in the mutex. But the rphy add/remove needs to wait for the
error handling which also grabs the disco mutex. This may leads to dead
lock.So the probe and destruct event were introduce to do the rphy
add/remove asynchronously and out of the lock.

The asynchronously processed workers makes the whole discovery process
not atomic, the other events may interrupt the process. For example,
if a loss of signal event inserted before the probe event, the
sas_deform_port() is called and the port will be deleted.

And sas_port_delete() may run before the destruct event, but the
port-x:x is the top parent of end device or expander. This leads to
a kernel WARNING such as:

Make probe and destruct a direct call in the disco and revalidate function,
but put them outside the lock. The whole discovery or revalidate won't
be interrupted by other events. And the DISCE_PROBE and DISCE_DESTRUCT
event are deleted as a result of the direct call.

Introduce a new list to destruct the sas_port and put the port delete after
the destruct. This makes sure the right order of destroying the sysfs
kobject and fix the warning above.

In sas_ex_revalidate_domain() have a loop to find all broadcasted
device, and sometimes we have a chance to find the same expander twice.
Because the sas_port will be deleted at the end of the whole revalidate
process, sas_port with the same name cannot be added before this.
Otherwise the sysfs will complain of creating duplicate filename. Since
the LLDD will send broadcast for every device change, we can only
process one expander's revalidation.

Make probe and destruct a direct call in the disco and revalidate function,
but put them outside the lock. The whole discovery or revalidate won't
be interrupted by other events. And the DISCE_PROBE and DISCE_DESTRUCT
event are deleted as a result of the direct call.

Introduce a new list to destruct the sas_port and put the port delete after
the destruct. This makes sure the right order of destroying the sysfs
kobject and fix the warning above.

In sas_ex_revalidate_domain() have a loop to find all broadcasted
device, and sometimes we have a chance to find the same expander twice.
Because the sas_port will be deleted at the end of the whole revalidate
process, sas_port with the same name cannot be added before this.
Otherwise the sysfs will complain of creating duplicate filename. Since
the LLDD will send broadcast for every device change, we can only
process one expander's revalidation.

<title>scsi: libsas: Disable asynchronous aborts for SATA devices</title>

Handling CD-ROM devices from libsas is decidedly odd, as libata relies
on SCSI EH to be started to figure out that no medium is present.  So we
cannot do asynchronous aborts for SATA devices.

<title>scsi: libsas: use flush_workqueue to process disco events synchronously</title>

Now we are processing sas event and discover event in different
workqueues.  It's safe to wait the discover event done in the sas event
work. Use flush_workqueue() to insure the disco and revalidate events
processed synchronously so that the whole discover and revalidate
process will not be interrupted by other events.

<id>93bdbd06b1644ac15aa152e91faefed86cc04937</id>
<content type='text'>
Now all libsas works are queued to scsi host workqueue, include sas
event work post by LLDD and sas discovery work, and a sas hotplug flow
may be divided into several works, e.g libsas receive a
PORTE_BYTES_DMAED event, currently we process it as following steps:

sas_form_port  --- run in work in shost workq
	sas_discover_domain  --- run in another work in shost workq
		...
		sas_probe_devices  --- run in new work in shost workq
We found during hot-add a device, libsas may need run several
works in same workqueue to add device in system, the process is
not atomic, it may interrupt by other sas event works, like
PHYE_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL.

This patch is preparation of execute libsas sas event in sync. We need
to use different workqueue to run sas event and disco event. Otherwise
the work will be blocked for waiting another chained work in the same
workqueue.

Add a sysfs attr that LLDD can configure it for every host. We made an
example in hisi_sas. Other LLDDs using libsas can implement it if they
want.
