This is an update from the Adaptec driver that adds support for the scsi
synchronize cache command.  It essentially blocks further commands until

   - scsi_get_sense_info_fld() to get the information
     field from fixed or descriptor sense data

Kai Makisara proposed the "find" function. For
example, it will help the st driver find the Filemark,

"stream commands" sense data descriptor.

This converts the three transport classes (SPI, FC and iSCSI) over to
the generic transport class code.

It also converts the internals of the SCSI mid-layer to use generic
transport class trigger points and pulls out some of the duplicated code.
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

Transport classes are a mechanism for providing transport specific
services to drivers that the more generic command processing layers
don't care about.  A good example is the SCSI mid-layer not caring about
parallel transfer characteristics or providing services for domain
validation.  Transport classes usually provide a transport specific API
at one end and a class interface at the other (for the user to
interrogate and set parameters).

Originally, transport classes were SCSI specific.  However, this code is
generic to the device model.  As long as you have a generic device
representing a storage interface (or device) then you can attach a
transport class to it.  The new code also allows an arbitrary number of
transport classes to be attached to a device, unlike SCSI which only
allowed one.  This is going to be important for things like SATA and SAS
which share the PHY layer (and hence should be capable of sharing a PHY
transport class).

The generic transport class is designed to operate identically to the
current SCSI transport classes, except that it uses generic devices
rather than SCSI devices.
 
We have five events:
 
 setup
 add
 -----
 configure
 -----
 remove
 destroy

With callbacks for setup configure and remove.

There's also an anonymous transport class which can only respond to 
configure events (and which has no attributes).

last reference to the scsi_disk (this happens when the device file is
closed after the device has been hot-unplugged) then the call to
scsi_device_put() will take its argument from an area of memory that has

This patch deprecates the use of device_for_each_child() with stargets.
The reasoning behind this is due to issues regarding:
      Semaphores that device_for_each_child() takes
      Implicit assumptions that each child is an sdev device.

The patch adds a new helper function, starget_for_each_device(), and
replaces all previous uses of device_for_each_child().

Er, no it's not. But perhaps it should be...

Ingo presumably didn't notice that ppc64 already had a functional

not if the user/bootloader has specified one. This patch saves the extra
line in dmesg but always notified of the default choice by appending

	io scheduler anticipatory registered
	io scheduler deadline registered

This enables it only for debug kernels, and also makes sure
that if some external module is still broken, we don't leave
the mmap-sem locked after warning about it.

It seems to be general consensus that its safer to require all do_brk() callers
to grab mmap_sem, and have do_brk to warn otherwise. This is what the following
patch does.

Similar version has been changed to in v2.4.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We had all the locking right, but we didn't check whether one of the
threads now no longer needed to expand, so we could incorrectly _shrink_
the stack in the other thread instead (not only causing segfaults, but
since we didn't do a proper unmap, we'd possibly leak pages too).

So re-check the need for expand after getting the lock.
