Douglas Gilbert 26cf591e6d scsi: add SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE flag to SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl
Further to a January 2013 thread titled: "[PATCH] SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl
should only perform requested operation" by Jeremy Linton a patch (v3)
is presented that expands the existing ioctl to include "no_escalate"
versions to the existing resets. This requires no changes to SCSI low
level drivers (LLDs); it adds several more finely tuned reset options
to the user space. For example:

   /* This call remains the same, with the same escalating semantics
    * if the device (LU) reset fail. That is: on failure to try a
    * target reset and if that fails, try a bus reset, and if that fails
    * try a host (i.e. LLD) reset. */
   val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE;
   res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val);

   /* What follows is a new option introduced by this patch series. Only
    * a device reset is attempted. If that fails then an appropriate
    * error code is provided. N.B. There is no reset escalation. */
   val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE | SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE;
   res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val);

Linus Torvalds d429a3639c Merge branch 'for-3.17/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing out of the ordinary here, this pull request contains:

   - A big round of fixes for bcache from Kent Overstreet, Slava Pestov,
     and Surbhi Palande.  No new features, just a lot of fixes.

   - The usual round of drbd updates from Andreas Gruenbacher, Lars
     Ellenberg, and Philipp Reisner.

   - virtio_blk was converted to blk-mq back in 3.13, but now Ming Lei
     has taken it one step further and added support for actually using
     more than one queue.

   - Addition of an explicit SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD for block/bsg, to
     compliment the the default behavior of adding to the tail of the
     queue.  From Douglas Gilbert"

Douglas Gilbert 16070cc189 sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag
When the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and
later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged.

One difference is the way injected commands are queued through
the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA
NCQ). Summarizing:
   - SG_IO in the block layer: blk_exec*(at_head=false)
   - sg SG_IO: at_head=true
   - bsg SG_IO: at_head=true

Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called
BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default.
This patch does the equivalent for the sg driver.

ChangeLog:
     Introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag to cause commands
     to be injected into the block layer with
     at_head=false.

Douglas Gilbert 65c26a0f39 sg: relax 16 byte cdb restriction
- remove the 16 byte CDB (SCSI command) length limit from the sg driver
   by handling longer CDBs the same way as the bsg driver. Remove comment
   from sg.h public interface about the cmd_len field being limited to 16
   bytes.
 - remove some dead code caused by this change
 - cleanup comment block at the top of sg.h, fix urls

Douglas Gilbert d15156138d block SG_IO: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD flag
After the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and
later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged.

One difference is the way injected commands are queued through
the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA
NCQ). Summarizing:
  - SG_IO on block layer device: blk_exec*(at_head=false)
  - sg device SG_IO: at_head=true
  - bsg device SG_IO: at_head=true

Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called
BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. A
recent patch titled: "sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag"
allowed the sg driver default to be overridden. This patch
allows a SG_IO ioctl sent to a block layer device to have
its default overridden.

ChangeLog:
    - introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD flag in sg.h to cause
      commands that are injected via a block layer
      device SG_IO ioctl to set at_head=true
    - make comments clearer about queueing in sg.h since the
      header is used both by the sg device and block layer
      device implementations of the SG_IO ioctl.
    - introduce BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD in bsg.h for compatibility
      (it does nothing) and update comments.

Dave Young 15485a4682 sysctl extern cleanup: sg
Extern declarations in sysctl.c should be moved to their own header file,
and then include them in relavant .c files.

Move sg_big_buff extern declaration to scsi/sg.h

Douglas Gilbert 6460e75a10 [SCSI] sg: fixes for large page_size
This sg driver patch addresses the problem with larger
page sizes reported by Brian King in this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115867718623631&w=2
Some other related matters are also addressed. Some of these
prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are
set to inappropriate values.

The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should
make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB
less one block, achievable with a relatively small number
of elements in the scatter gather list.

ChangeLog:
    - add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module
      parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ
    - the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the
      max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE)
      It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power
      of two
    - clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements
      that are no longer valid
    - make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
