d3f46f39b7 [SCSI] remove use_sg_chaining
With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
there's no need to have a check in the host template.

Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
to be a power of two.

7ffc49a6ee [ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().
print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by
net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated.

format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
driver.

Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs,
qla4xxx and others in the future.  Both print_mac() and
sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.

Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with
net_device struct's dev_addr.  Added buffer length overrun checking
as suggested by Joe Perches.

2697478903 [SCSI] libiscsi: fix shutdown
We were using the device delete sysfs file to remove each device
then logout. Now in 2.6.21 this will not work because
the sysfs delete file returns immediately and does not wait for
the device removal to complete. This causes a hang if a cache sync
is needed during shutdown. Before .21, that approach had other
problems, so this patch fixes the shutdown code so that we remove the target
and unbind the session before logging out and shut down the session

1c3f0b8e07 Change struct marker users
Prior to use struct marker in the linux kernel markers, we need to clean
two drivers which use this structure name.

Change bonding driver types :
- struct marker to struct bond_marker.
- marker_t to bond_marker_t.
- marker_header to bond_marker_header.
- marker_header_t to bond_marker_header_t.

Change qla4xxx struct marker_entry usage :
- Change struct marker_entry for struct qla4_marker_entry.

20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

d8196ed218 [SCSI] iscsi class, iscsi_tcp, iser, qla4xxx: add netdevname sysfs attr
iSCSI must support software iscsi (iscsi_tcp, iser), hardware iscsi (qla4xxx),
and partial offload (broadcom). To be able to allow each stack or driver
or port (virtual or physical) to be able to log into the same target portal
we use the initiator tuple [[HWADDRESS | NETDEVNAME], INITIATOR_NAME] and
the target tuple [TARGETNAME, CONN_ADDRESS, CONN_PORT] to id a session.
This patch adds the netdev name, which is used by software iscsi when
it binds a session to a netdevice using the SO_BINDTODEVICE sock opt.
It cannot use HWADDRESS because if someone did vlans then the same netdevice
will have the same mac and the initiator,target id will not be unique.

1. qla3xxx/qla4xxx co-existence issue which can result in a lockup
when qla3xxx driver is unloaded, or when ifdown; ifup is performed on
one of the interfaces correponding to qla3xxx. This is because qla4xxx
HBA supports one ethernet and iscsi interfaces per port. Both iscsi
and ethernet interfaces share the same state machine. The problem has
to do with synchronizing access to the state machine in the event of a
reset

2. mutex_lock() is sometimes not followed by mutex_unlock() prior to
invoking a msleep() in qla4xxx_mailbox_command()

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.
