- make the hostdata setup act consistently when the lookup fails

- set up the queue depth consistently across these scenarios
- if the block layer mq support is not available, explicitly enable and
activate the SCSI layer tcq support (and do this at allocation-time so

Don't return from the abort request until the target command is complete.
Mark outstanding commands which have a pending abort, and do not send them
to the host if we can avoid it.
If the current command has been aborted, do not call the SCSI command
completion routine from the I/O path: when the abort returns successfully,
the SCSI mid-layer will handle the completion implicitly.
The following race was possible in theory.
1. LLD is requested to abort a scsi command
2. scsi command completes
3. The struct CommandList associated with 2 is made available.
4. new io request to LLD to another LUN re-uses struct CommandList
5. abort handler follows scsi_cmnd->host_scribble and
finds struct CommandList and tries to aborts it.
Now we have aborted the wrong command.
Fix by resetting the scsi_cmd field of struct CommandList
upon completion and making the abort handler check that
the scsi_cmd pointer in the CommadList struct matches the
scsi_cmnd that it has been asked to abort.

Do not send aborts to logical devices that do not support aborts
Instead of relying on what the Smart Array claims for supporting logical
drives, simply try an abort and see how it responds at device discovery
time. This way devices that do support aborts (e.g. MSA2000) can work
and we do not waste time trying to send aborts to logical drives that do
not support them (important for high IOPS devices.)
While rescanning devices only test whether devices support aborts
the first time we encounter a device rather than every time.
Some Smart Arrays required aborts to be sent with tags in
the wrong endian byte order. To avoid having to know about
this, we would send two aborts with tags with each endian order.
On high IOPS devices, this turns out to be not such a hot idea.
So we now have a list of the devices that got the tag backwards,
and we only send it one way.
If all available commands are outstanding and the abort handler
is invoked, the abort handler may not be able to allocate a command
and may busy-wait excessivly. Reserve a small number of commands
for the abort handler and limit the number of concurrent abort
requests to the number of reserved commands.

When using the ioaccel submission methods, requests destined for RAID volumes
are sometimes diverted to physical devices. The OS has no or limited
knowledge of these physical devices, so it is up to the driver to avoid
pushing the device too hard. It is better to honor the physical device queue
limit rather than making the device spew zillions of TASK SET FULL responses.
This is so that hpsa based devices support /sys/block/sdNN/device/queue_type
of simple, which lets the SCSI midlayer automatically adjust the queue_depth
based on TASK SET FULL and GOOD status.
Adjust the queue depth for a new device after it is created based on the
maximum queue depths of the physical devices that constitute the
device. This drops the maximum queue depth from .can_queue of 1024 to
something like 174 for single-drive RAID-0, 348 for two-drive RAID-1, etc.
It also adjusts for the ratio of data to parity drives.

The original reasoning behind doing this was faulty. An error

disabled for that logical drive, the command would be kicked
back out to the SCSI midlayer for a retry, and since i/o accelerator

However, something needs to turn ioaccellerator mode back on,
and this rescan request was what did that. However, it was racy,
and extremely bad for performance to rescan all devices, so,
don't do that.

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

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
