If sas_notify_lldd_dev_found() fails then this code calls:

	sas_unregister_dev(port, dev);

which removes "dev", our list iterator, from the list.  This could lead to
an endless loop.  We need to use list_for_each_entry_safe().

<title>scsi: libsas: Reset num_scatter if libata marks qc as NODATA</title>

When the cache_type for the SCSI device is changed, the SCSI layer issues a
MODE_SELECT command. The caching mode details are communicated via a
request buffer associated with the SCSI command with data direction set as
DMA_TO_DEVICE (scsi_mode_select()). When this command reaches the libata
layer, as a part of generic initial setup, libata layer sets up the
scatterlist for the command using the SCSI command (ata_scsi_qc_new()).
This command is then translated by the libata layer into
ATA_CMD_SET_FEATURES (ata_scsi_mode_select_xlat()). The libata layer treats
this as a non-data command (ata_mselect_caching()), since it only needs an
ATA taskfile to pass the caching on/off information to the device. It does
not need the scatterlist that has been setup, so it does not perform
dma_map_sg() on the scatterlist (ata_qc_issue()). Unfortunately, when this
command reaches the libsas layer (sas_ata_qc_issue()), libsas layer sees it
as a non-data command with a scatterlist. It cannot extract the correct DMA
length since the scatterlist has not been mapped with dma_map_sg() for a
DMA operation. When this partially constructed SAS task reaches pm80xx
LLDD, it results in the following warning:

"pm80xx_chip_sata_req 6058: The sg list address
start_addr=0x0000000000000000 data_len=0x0end_addr_high=0xffffffff
end_addr_low=0xffffffff has crossed 4G boundary"

Update libsas to handle ATA non-data commands separately so num_scatter and
total_xfer_len remain 0.

libsas event notifiers required an extension where gfp_t flags must be
explicitly passed. For bisectability, a temporary _gfp() variant of such
functions were added. All call sites then got converted use the _gfp()
variants and explicitly pass GFP context. Having no callers left, the
original libsas notifiers were then modified to accept gfp_t flags by
default.

Switch back to the original event notifiers API, while still passing GFP
context.  The _gfp() notifier variants will be removed afterwards.

Use the new libsas event notifiers API, which requires callers to
explicitly pass the gfp_t memory allocation flags.

Context analysis:

  - sas_enable_revalidation(): process, acquires mutex
  - sas_resume_ha(): process, calls wait_event_timeout()

sas_alloc_event() uses in_interrupt() to decide which allocation should be
used.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.

The in_interrupt() check is also only partially correct, because it fails
to choose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are
disabled. For example, as in the following call chain:

  mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_work_queue() [process context]
  spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock, )
    -&gt; libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_phy_event()
      -&gt; sas_alloc_event()
        -&gt; in_interrupt() = false
          -&gt; invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation
    -&gt; libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_port_event()
      -&gt; sas_alloc_event()
        -&gt; in_interrupt() = false
          -&gt; invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation

Introduce sas_alloc_event_gfp(), sas_notify_port_event_gfp(), and
sas_notify_phy_event_gfp(), which all behave like the non _gfp() variants
but use a caller-passed GFP mask for allocations.

For bisectability, all callers will be modified first to pass GFP context,
then the non _gfp() libsas API variants will be modified to take a gfp_t by
default.

sas_alloc_event() uses in_interrupt() to decide which allocation should be
used.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.

The in_interrupt() check is also only partially correct, because it fails
to choose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are
disabled. For example, as in the following call chain:

  mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_work_queue() [process context]
  spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock, )
    -&gt; libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_phy_event()
      -&gt; sas_alloc_event()
        -&gt; in_interrupt() = false
          -&gt; invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation
    -&gt; libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_port_event()
      -&gt; sas_alloc_event()
        -&gt; in_interrupt() = false
          -&gt; invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation

Introduce sas_alloc_event_gfp(), sas_notify_port_event_gfp(), and
sas_notify_phy_event_gfp(), which all behave like the non _gfp() variants
but use a caller-passed GFP mask for allocations.
