scsi: Add optional host_lock less scsi_dispatch_cmd()

From: Nicholas Bellinger <[email protected]>

Greetings all,

This is the forth RFC for allowing an optional struct Scsi_Host->host_lock less bit for high performance LLDs who where originaly dropping and reaquiring host_lock from within their own SHT->queuecommand() callers in order to increase performance. This series includes the wholesale conversion of existing libraries and all other SCSI LLD ->queuecommand() callers that use the now extinct host_lock optimization of:

        unlock() ; do_some_lld_work() ; lock() -> return from ->mylld_queuecommand()

This series includes patches to drop this historical optimization (and prevent a sure-fire deadlock w/ host_lock here) in libiscsi, libsas, libfc, libata and in lpfc, qla4xxx, qla2xxx, fnic, and buslogic SCSI LLDs.

This patch also converts the scsi_cmd_get_serial() call to a counting by 2 odd counter that is no longer used directly and by default for LLDs in scsi_dispatch_cmd(), but is still required for mpt-fusion, mpt2sas, and a handful of old LLDs.

For this case we add explict scsi_cmd_get_serial() calls into SHT->queuecommand() callers for mpt2sas, mpt/fusion, dpt_i2o, eata and u14-34f. There are other SCSI LLDs that use struct scsi_cmnd->serial_number informationally, but no other ones (AFAICT) actually depend on having ->serial_number set to function properly.

So if anyone else knows if any SCSI LLDs that either:

        *) drop and request struct Scsi_Host->host_lock in their SHT->queuecommand()
           to prevent dead-lock

        *) or depend upon struct scsi_cmnd->serial_number for some reason to prevent
           any other old/obsecure LLDs from having problems with a zero ->serial_number.

please let me know and I will queue a follow up patches to address any other issues.

Please note that this patch has a bug wrt to scsi_error.c usage mentioned by Mike Anderson, and will be addressed in a RFC v5 series.

Changes from RFC v3 -> v4 include:

*) Use scsi_dispatch_cmd_locked() by default when LLD is not registering
it's struct scsi_host_template with SHT->unlocked_qcmd=1
*) Update aic94xx, mvsas, pm8001 and other LLDs included in RFCv3 to use
new SHT->unlocked_qcmd=1 who where already using the ->queuecommand() 'optimization' discussed above.

Many thanks go out to the linux.intel.com team (Vasu Dev, Tim Chen, Andi Kleen, Matthew Wilcox) Joe Eykholt (Cisco), Mike Christie (RHAT), James Bottomley (Suse.de), Mike Anderson + Brian King (linux.vnet.ibm.com) and Christof Schmitt (de.ibm.com) for their invaluable input towards the whole-sale conversion of drivers/scsi to an optional host_lock less SHT->queuecommand() dispatcher!

Thank you!
