Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "Usual driver updates (qla2xxx, mpi3mr, mpt3sas, ufs) plus assorted
  cleanups and fixes.

  The biggest core change is the massive code motion in the sd driver to
  remove forward declarations and the most significant change is to
  enumify the queuecommand return"

<content type='text'>
In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

Uwe Kleine-König &lt;u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com&gt; says:

Hello,

this is v2 of the series to make the scsi subsystem stop using the
callbacks .probe(), .remove() and .shutdown() of struct device_driver.
Instead use their designated alternatives in struct bus_type.

The eventual goal is to drop the callbacks from struct device_driver.

The 2nd patch introduces some legacy handling for drivers still using
the device_driver callbacks. This results in a runtime warning (in
driver_register()). The following patches convert all in-tree drivers
(and thus fix the warnings one after another).
Conceptually this legacy handling could be dropped at the end of the
series, but I think this is a bad idea because this silently breaks
out-of-tree drivers (which also covers drivers that are currently
prepared for mainline submission) and in-tree drivers I might have
missed (though I'm convinced I catched them all). That convinces me that
keeping the legacy handling for at least one development cycle is the
right choice. I'll care for that at the latest when I remove the
callbacks from struct device_driver.

Introduce a bus-specific probe, remove and shutdown function. For now
this only allows to get rid of a cast of the generic device to a SCSI
device in the drivers and changes the remove prototype to return
void---a non-zero return value is ignored anyhow.

The objective is to get rid of users of struct device_driver callbacks
.probe(), .remove() and .shutdown() to eventually remove these. Until
all SCSI drivers are converted, this results in a runtime warning about
the drivers needing an update because there is a bus probe function and
a driver probe function. The in-tree drivers are fixed by the following
commits.

<title>scsi: core: Fix error handler encryption support</title>

Some low-level drivers (LLD) access block layer crypto fields, such as
rq-&gt;crypt_keyslot and rq-&gt;crypt_ctx within `struct request`, to
configure hardware for inline encryption.  However, SCSI Error Handling
(EH) commands (e.g., TEST UNIT READY, START STOP UNIT) should not
involve any encryption setup.

To prevent drivers from erroneously applying crypto settings during EH,
this patch saves the original values of rq-&gt;crypt_keyslot and
rq-&gt;crypt_ctx before an EH command is prepared via scsi_eh_prep_cmnd().
These fields in the 'struct request' are then set to NULL.  The original
values are restored in scsi_eh_restore_cmnd() after the EH command
completes.

This ensures that the block layer crypto context does not leak into EH
command execution.

Multiple functions in the SCSI core accept an 'int reason' argument.
The 'int' type of these arguments doesn't make it clear what values are
acceptable for these arguments. Document which values are supported for
these arguments by introducing the enumeration type scsi_qc_status. 'qc'
in the type name stands for 'queuecommand' since the values passed as
the 'reason' argument are the .queuecommand() return values.

fc_rport and reports information in fc_encryption_info.  This structure

     .queuecommand   = ufshcd_queuecommand,
     .mq_poll        = ufshcd_poll,

The following changes had to be made prior to making these two data
structures adjacent:
* Add support for driver-internal and reserved commands in the SCSI core.
* Instead of making the reserved command slot (hba-&gt;reserved_slot)
  invisible to the SCSI core, let the SCSI core allocate a reserved command.
* Remove all UFS data structure members that are no longer needed
  because struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb are now adjacent
* Call ufshcd_init_lrb() from inside the code for queueing a command instead of
  calling this function before I/O starts. This is necessary because
  ufshcd_memory_alloc() allocates fewer instances than the block layer
  allocates requests. See also the following code in the block layer
  core:

    if (blk_mq_init_request(set, hctx-&gt;fq-&gt;flush_rq, hctx_idx,
                hctx-&gt;numa_node))

  Although the UFS driver could be modified such that ufshcd_init_lrb()
  is called from ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(), realizing this would require
  moving the memory allocations that happen from inside
  ufshcd_memory_alloc() into ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(). That would make
  this patch series even larger. Although ufshcd_init_lrb() is called for each
  command, the benefits of reduced indirection and better cache efficiency
  outweigh the small overhead of per-command lrb initialization.
* ufshcd_add_scsi_host() happens now before any device management
  commands are submitted. This change is necessary because this patch
  makes device management command allocation happen when the SCSI host
  is allocated.
* Allocate as many command slots as the host controller supports. Decrease
  host-&gt;cmds_per_lun if necessary once it is clear whether or not the UFS
  device supports less command slots than the host controller.

Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.

Hi Martin,

This patch series optimizes the hot path of the UFS driver by making
struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb adjacent. Making these two data
structures adjacent is realized as follows:
