Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley: "This is primarily another round of driver updates (lpfc, bfa, fcoe, ipr) plus a new ufshcd driver. There shouldn't be anything controversial in here (The final deletion of scsi proc_ops which caused some build breakage has been held over until the next merge window to give us more time to stabilise it). I'm afraid, with me moving continents at exactly the wrong time, anything submitted after the merge window opened has been held over to the next merge window." * tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-misc-2.6: (63 commits) [SCSI] ipr: Driver version 2.5.3 [SCSI] ipr: Increase alignment boundary of command blocks [SCSI] ipr: Increase max concurrent oustanding commands [SCSI] ipr: Remove unnecessary memory barriers [SCSI] ipr: Remove unnecessary interrupt clearing on new adapters [SCSI] ipr: Fix target id allocation re-use problem [SCSI] atp870u, mpt2sas, qla4xxx use pci_dev->revision [SCSI] fcoe: Drop the rtnl_mutex before calling fcoe_ctlr_link_up [SCSI] bfa: Update the driver version to 3.0.23.0 [SCSI] bfa: BSG and User interface fixes.

Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf

2012-03-30T23:03:15Z

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the context. There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4 kernels that are being removed.

[SCSI] st: expand ability to write immediate filemarks

2012-03-27T07:26:34Z

The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives. Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl, this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only applies to writing EOFs. This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag. Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options" attribute. The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well as the problems that can occur from using it. Signed-off-by: Lee Duncan Acked-by: Kai Makisara Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] ufshcd: UFS Host controller driver

2012-03-27T07:26:28Z

This patch adds support for Universal Flash Storage(UFS) host controllers. The UFS host controller driver includes host controller initialization method. The Initialization process involves following steps: - Initiate UFS Host Controller initialization process by writing to Host controller enable register - Configure UFS Host controller registers with host memory space datastructure offsets. - Unipro link startup procedure - Check for connected device - Configure UFS host controller to process requests - Enable required interrupts - Configure interrupt aggregation [jejb: fix warnings in 32 bit compile] Signed-off-by: Santosh Yaraganavi Signed-off-by: Vinayak Holikatti Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Reviewed-by: Vishak G Reviewed-by: Girish K S Reviewed-by: Namjae Jeon Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] libsas: fix domain_device leak

Arrange for the deallocation of a struct domain_device object when it no longer has: 1/ any children 2/ references by any scsi_targets 3/ references by a lldd The comment about domain_device lifetime in Documentation/scsi/libsas.txt is stale as it appears mainline never had a version of a struct domain_device that was registered as a kobject.
