e863d68e48 [SCSI] hpsa: rescan devices on ioaccel2 error
Allow driver to schedule a rescan whenever a request fails on the ioaccel2 path.
This eliminates the possibility of driver getting stuck in non-ioaccel mode.

IOaccel mode (HP SSD Smart Path) is disabled by driver upon error detection.
Driver relied on idea that request would be retried through normal path, and a
subsequent error would occur on that path, and be processed by controller
firmware.  As part of that process, controller disables ioaccel mode and later
reinstates it, signalling driver to change modes.

In some error cases, the error will not duplicate on the standard path,
so the driver could get stuck in non-ioaccel mode.
To avoid that, we allow driver to request a rescan during the next run of the
rescan thread.

76438d087f [SCSI] hpsa: poll controller to detect device change event
For shared SAS configurations, hosts need to poll Smart Arrays
periodically in order to be able to detect configuration changes
such as logical drives being added or removed from remote hosts.
A register on the controller indicates when such events have
occurred, and the driver polls the register via a workqueue
and kicks off a rescan of devices if such an event is detected.
Additionally, changes to logical drive raid offload eligibility
are autodetected in this way.

396883e292 [SCSI] hpsa: prevent stalled i/o
If a fifo full condition is encountered, i/o requests will stack
up in the h->reqQ queue.  The only thing which empties this queue
is start_io, which only gets called when new i/o requests come in.
If none are forthcoming, i/o in h->reqQ will be stalled.

To fix this, whenever fifo full condition is encountered, this
is recorded, and the interrupt handler examines this to see
if a fifo full condition was recently encountered when a
command completes and will call start_io to prevent i/o's in
h->reqQ from getting stuck.

I've only ever seen this problem occur when running specialized
test programs that pound on the the CCISS_PASSTHRU ioctl.

This is to prevent a userland program from exhausting all of
pci_alloc_consistent memory.  I've only seen this problem when
running a special test program designed to provoke it.  20
concurrent commands via the passthru ioctls (not counting SG_IO)
should be more than enough.

e85c597469 [SCSI] hpsa: dial down lockup detection during firmware flash
Dial back the aggressiveness of the controller lockup detection thread.
Currently it will declare the controller to be locked up if it goes
for 10 seconds with no interrupts and no change in the heartbeat
register.  Dial back this to 30 seconds with no heartbeat change, and
also snoop the ioctl path and if a firmware flash command is detected,
dial it back further to 4 minutes until the firmware flash command
completes.  The reason for this is that during the firmware flash
operation, the controller apparently doesn't update the heartbeat
register as frequently as it is supposed to, and we can get a false
positive.

d66ae08bad [SCSI] hpsa: removed unneeded structure member max_sg_entries and fix badly named constant MAXSGENTRIES
We had both h->max_sg_entries and h->maxsgentries in the per controller
structure which is terribly confusing.  max_sg_entries was really
just a constant, 32, which defines how big the "block fetch table"
is, which is as large as the max number of SG elements embedded
within a command (excluding SG elements in chain blocks).

MAXSGENTRIES was the constant used to denote the max number of SG
elements embedded within a command, also a poor name.

So renamed MAXSGENTREIS to SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD, and removed
h->max_sg_entries and replaced it with SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD.

h->maxsgentries is unchanged, and is the maximum number of sg
elements the controller will support in a command, including
those in chain blocks, minus 1 for the chain block pointer..

We increased the size of the currentsd array to 1024 + 1024 + 32 + 1
elements to reflect a reasonable maximum possible number of devices
which might be encountered.  We also don't just walk off the end
of the array if the array controller reports more devices than we
are prepared to handle, we just ignore the excessive devices.

33a2ffce51 [SCSI] hpsa: Increase the number of scatter gather elements supported.
This uses the scatter-gather chaining feature of Smart Array
controllers.  32 scatter-gather elements are embedded in the
"command list", and the last element in the list may be marked
as a "chain pointer", and point to an additional block of
scatter gather elements.  The precise number of scatter gather
elements supported is dependent on the particular kind of
Smart Array, and is determined at runtime by querying the
hardware.

31468401cc [SCSI] hpsa: remove scan thread
The intent of the scan thread was to allow a UNIT ATTENTION/LUN
DATA CHANGED condition encountered in the interrupt handler
to trigger a rescan of devices, which can't be done in interrupt
context.  However, we weren't able to get this to work, due to
multiple such UNIT ATTENTION conditions arriving during the rescan,
during updating of the SCSI mid layer, etc.  There's no way to tell
the devices, "stand still while I scan you!"  Since it doesn't work,
there's no point in having the thread, as the rescan triggered via
ioctl or sysfs can be done without such a thread.
