Fix up an off by one error in calculating retries for scsi
commands. This bug was discovered when an SG_IO request
was sent to scsi core with retries = 0, causing the overall
timeout check to go off in scsi_softirq_done.

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.

This merge is pretty extensive. The conflict is over the new
req->retries parameter, so I had to change the prototype to
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd() and the usage in sd, sr and st.

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

The eh_action semaphore in scsi_eh_send_command is cleared after a
command timeout. The command is subsequently aborted and the abort
will try to call scsi_done() on it. Unfortunately, the scsi_eh_done()
routine unconditinally completes the semaphore (which is now null).
Fix this race by makiong the scsi_eh_done() routine check that the
semaphore is non null before completing it (mirroring the ordinary
command done/timeout logic).

scsi_send_eh_cmnd currently uses a semaphore and an overload of eh_timer
to either get a completion for a command for a timeout.
Switch to using a completion and wait_for_completion_timeout to simply
the code and not having to deal with the races ourselves.

Wrap a highly common idiom. Makes the code easier to read, helps pave
the way for sdev->{id,channel} removal, and adds a token that can easily

There are a couple sdev_id() and scmd_printk() updates thrown in as well.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code. The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

We fix the oops by enforcing the host state model. There have also
been two extra states added: SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY and
SHOST_DEL_RECOVERY so we can take the model through host removal while
the recovery thread is active.

The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to
tell whether error recovery has succeeded. The scsi_eh_tur function
gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more
error recovery is needed.
However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed
when in fact error recovery has succeeded. A typical example might be
SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready). The mere
fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate
that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery.
I ran across a case back in January where this happened. A CD-ROM drive
timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage.
But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning
up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline.
If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would
have worked okay. It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just
because the error handler had started running.

This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.

We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it
for sending internal commands. That usage can be fixed easily because
those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily
use a completion there.

Save and restore the scmd->result, so that timed out commands do not
return the result of the TEST UNIT READY or the start/stop commands. Code
is already in place to save and restore the result for the request sense
case.
The previous version of this patch erroneously removed the "if" check,
instead add a comment as to why the "if" is needed.

We have a DID_IMM_RETRY to require a retry at once, but we could do with
a DID_REQUEUE to instruct the mid-layer to treat this command in the
same manner as QUEUE_FULL or BUSY (i.e. halt the submission until
another command returns ... or the queue pressure builds if there are no
outstanding commands).

scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose
anymore. All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests
are always true in abort callbacks. Kill the field. Also, as
->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number
doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments
above ->serial_number accordingly. Once we remove all uses of
this field from all lldd's, this field should go.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
