Despite supporting modern SCSI features some storage devices continue to
claim conformance to an older version of the SPC spec. This is done for
compatibility with legacy operating systems.
Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that
claim SPC-2 or older. Introduce a blacklist flag that can be used to
trigger VPD page inquiries on devices that are known to support them.

Current the midlayer fakes up a struct request for the explicit reset
ioctls, and those don't have a tag allocated to them. The fnic driver pokes
into midlayer structures to paper over this design issue, but that won't
work for the blk-mq case.
Either someone who can actually test the hardware will have to come up with
a similar hack for the blk-mq case, or we'll have to bite the bullet and fix
the way the EH ioctls work for real, but until that happens we fail these
explicit requests here.

This patch adds support for an alternate I/O path in the scsi midlayer
which uses the blk-mq infrastructure instead of the legacy request code.
Use of blk-mq is fully transparent to drivers, although for now a host
template field is provided to opt out of blk-mq usage in case any unforseen
incompatibilities arise.
In general replacing the legacy request code with blk-mq is a simple and
mostly mechanical transformation. The biggest exception is the new code
that deals with the fact the I/O submissions in blk-mq must happen from
process context, which slightly complicates the I/O completion handler.
The second biggest differences is that blk-mq is build around the concept
of preallocated requests that also include driver specific data, which
in SCSI context means the scsi_cmnd structure. This completely avoids
dynamic memory allocations for the fast path through I/O submission.
Due the preallocated requests the MQ code path exclusively uses the
host-wide shared tag allocator instead of a per-LUN one. This only
affects drivers actually using the block layer provided tag allocator
instead of their own. Unlike the old path blk-mq always provides a tag,
although drivers don't have to use it.
For now the blk-mq path is disable by defauly and must be enabled using
the "use_blk_mq" module parameter. Once the remaining work in the block
layer to make blk-mq more suitable for slow devices is complete I hope
to make it the default and eventually even remove the old code path.
Based on the earlier scsi-mq prototype by Nicholas Bellinger.
Thanks to Bart Van Assche and Robert Elliot for testing, benchmarking and
various sugestions and code contributions.

Blk-mq drivers usually preallocate their S/G list as part of the request,
but if we want to support the very large S/G lists currently supported by
the SCSI code that would tie up a lot of memory in the preallocated request
pool. Add support to the scatterlist code so that it can initialize a
S/G list that uses a preallocated first chunks and dynamically allocated
additional chunks. That way the scsi-mq code can preallocate a first
page worth of S/G entries as part of the request, and dynamically extend
the S/G list when needed.

Seems like these counters are missing any sort of synchronization for
updates, as a over 10 year old comment from me noted. Fix this by
using atomic counters, and while we're at it also make sure they are
in the same cacheline as the _busy counters and not needlessly stored
to in every I/O completion.
With the new model the _busy counters can temporarily go negative,
so all the readers are updated to check for > 0 values. Longer
term every successful I/O completion will reset the counters to zero,
so the temporarily negative values will not cause any harm.

Avoid taking the queue_lock to check the per-device queue limit. Instead
we do an atomic_inc_return early on to grab our slot in the queue,
and if necessary decrement it after finishing all checks.
Unlike the host and target busy counters this doesn't allow us to avoid the
queue_lock in the request_fn due to the way the interface works, but it'll
allow us to prepare for using the blk-mq code, which doesn't use the
queue_lock at all, and it at least avoids a queue_lock round trip in
scsi_device_unbusy, which is still important given how busy the queue_lock

During IO with fabric faults, one generally sees several "Unhandled error

sd 4:0:6:2: [sdbw] Unhandled error code
sd 4:0:6:2: [sdbw] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
sd 4:0:6:2: [sdbw] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00
end_request: I/O error, dev sdbw, sector 0
This comes from scsi_io_completion (in scsi_lib.c) while handling error
codes other than DID_RESET or not deferred sense keys i.e. this is
actually handled by the SCSI mid layer. But what gets displayed here is
"Unhandled error code" which is quite misleading as it indicates
something that is not addressed by the mid layer.
The description string is based on the sense key and sometimes on the
additional sense code;
since the ACTION_FAIL case always prints the sense key and the
additional sense code, this patch removes the description string
completely because it does not add useful information.

This addresses a problem reported by Vaughan Cao concerning
the correctness of the O_EXCL logic in the sg driver. POSIX
doesn't defined O_EXCL semantics on devices but "allow only
one open file descriptor at a time per sg device" is a rough
definition. The sg driver's semantics have been to wait
on an open() when O_NONBLOCK is not given and there are
O_EXCL headwinds. Nasty things can happen during that wait
such as the device being detached (removed). So multiple
locks are reworked in this patch making it large and hard
to break down into digestible bits.
This patch is against Linus's current git repository which
doesn't include any sg patches sent in the last few weeks.
Hence this patch touches as little as possible that it
doesn't need to and strips out most SCSI_LOG_TIMEOUT()
changes in v3 because Hannes said he was going to rework all
that stuff.
The sg3_utils package has several test programs written to
test this patch. See examples/sg_tst_excl*.cpp .
Not all the locks and flags in sg have been re-worked in
this patch, notably sg_request::done . That can wait for
a follow-up patch if this one meets with approval.
