61bf54b71d USB Storage: indistinguishable devices with broken and unbroken firmware
there's a USB mass storage device which exists in two version. One
reports the correct size and the other does not. Apart from that they
are identical and cannot be told apart. Here's a heuristic based on the
empirical finding that drives have even sizes.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

017f2e37ae [SCSI] sd: udev accessing an uninitialized scsi_disk field results in a crash
sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the
sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode
udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart
attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as
the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the
attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the
sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper,
this results in a crash.
	The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the
necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

631c228cd0 [SCSI] hide EH backup data outside the scsi_cmnd
Currently struct scsi_cmnd has various fields that are used to backup
original data after the corresponding fields have been overridden for
EH commands.  This means drivers can easily get at it and misuse it.
Due to the old_ naming this doesn't happen for most of them, but two
that have different names have been used wrong a lot (see previous
patch).  Another downside is that they unessecarily bloat the scsi_cmnd
size.

This patch moves them onstack in scsi_send_eh_cmnd to fix those two
issues aswell as allowing future EH fixes like moving the EH command
submissions to use SG lists like everything else.

a144c5ae09 [SCSI] scsi: Add allow_restart sysfs class attribute
This is a resend of a patch I generated in response to an email sent
by Ruben Faelens <parasietje@gmail.com>. His original email to
linux-scsi requested a method in which he could spin down a scsi disk
when not in use and have the kernel automatically spin it back up when
an I/O was generated to the disk. The infrastructure to automatically
spin a disk up has been in the scsi error handler for some time now,
but it is not enabled by default. This patch adds an sd sysfs attribute
which allows userspace to enable this behavior.

03aba2f795 [SCSI] sd/scsi_lib simplify sd_rw_intr and scsi_io_completion
This patch simplifies "good_bytes" computation in sd_rw_intr().
sd: "good_bytes" computation is always done in terms of the resolution
of the device's medium, since after that it is the number of good bytes
we pass around and other layers/contexts (as opposed ot sd) can translate
that to their own resolution (block layer:512).  It also makes
scsi_io_completion() processing more straightforward, eliminating the
3rd argument to the function.

It also fixes a couple of bugs like not checking return value,
using "break" instead of "return;", etc.

I've been running with this patch for some time now on a
test (do-it-all) system.

Various scsi drivers use scsi_cmnd.buffer and scsi_cmnd.bufflen in their
queuecommand functions.  Those fields are internal storage for the
midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after
request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH.  Using

a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying

when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be

4451e47262 [SCSI] sd: pause in sd_spinup_disk for slow USB devices

ASC=0x28 (Not Ready to Ready transition).  The patch will wait for up to 5
seconds for such devices to become ready.  Normal devices won't send the
repeated Unit Attention sense key and hence won't trigger the patch.

This fixes a problem with James Roberts-Thomson's USB device, and I've
seen several reports of other devices exhibiting the same symptoms --
presumably they will be helped as well.

I was going over the scsi I/O submit path, when sd_init_command
construct the scsi command, this_count is already checked in the
previous else if clause.  Why does it need to check it again in
the last else block?

Patch to delete the spurious check.

631e8a1398 [SCSI] TYPE_RBC cache fixes (sbp2.c affected)
a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
	b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
	c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
	d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
	e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents.  And screams if
mismatch had happened.  Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one".  For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
	f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.

	Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones.  I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

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!
