      [SCSI] libata: fix eh locking · 4451ef63
      James Bottomley authored
      The SCSI host eh_cmd_q should be protected by the host lock (not the
      port lock).  This probably doesn't matter that much at the moment,
      since we try to serialise the add and eh pieces, but it might matter
      in future for more convenient error handling.  Plus this switches
      libata to the standard eh pattern where you lock, remove from the cmd
      queue to a local list and unlock and then operate on the local list.

      [SCSI] libata: fix locking for sas paths · b8784f77
      James Bottomley authored
      For historical reasons, libsas uses the scsi host lock as the ata port
      lock, and libata always uses the ata host.  For the old eh, this was
      largely irrelevant since the two locks were never mixed inside the
      code.  However, the new eh has a case where it nests acquisition of
      the host lock inside the port lock (this does look rather deadlock
      prone).  Obviously this would be an instant deadlock if the port lock
      were the host lock, so switch the libsas paths to use the ata host
      lock as well.

      [SCSI] libata: plumb sas port scan into standard libata paths · 1f723867
      James Bottomley authored
      The function ata_sas_port_init() has always really done its own thing.
      However, as a precursor to moving to the libata new eh, it has to be
      properly using the standard libata scan paths.  This means separating
      the current libata scan paths into pieces which can be shared with
      libsas and pieces which cant (really just the async call and the host
      scan).
