blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary
allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken -
tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the
end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.
As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the
whole thing.

blk_queue_start_tag() hand-coded searching for the first zero bit in the tag
map. Replace it with find_first_zero_bit(). With this patch,
blk_queue_star_tag() doesn't need to fill remains of tag map with 1, thus
allowing it to work properly with the next remove_real_max_depth patch.

Change the blk_rq_map_user() and blk_rq_map_kern() interface to require

for multiple iterations of mapping data to the same request, and it is also

Add blk_rq_map_kern which takes a kernel buffer and maps it into
a request and bio. This can be used by the dm hw_handlers, old
sg_scsi_ioctl, and one day scsi special requests so all requests
comming into scsi will have bios. All requests having bios
should allow scsi to use scatter lists for all IO and allow it
to use block layer functions.

__cfq_get_queue(). __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it. If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.
On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time. Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.
Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a
second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the
device was not correctly set up for writing. If you then tried to write
data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors.
This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with
-EBUSY.

I found a bug in the packet writing driver that could cause data
corruption. The problem arised if the driver got a write request for a
sector in a "zone" it was already working on. In that case it was supposed
to queue the write request until it was done processing earlier requests
for the same zone, and instead work on some other zone in the mean time.
However, if there was no other zone to work on, the driver would initiate
two packet_data objects for the same zone, causing unpredictable things to
happen.

ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel. If the "arg" argument
refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl
function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev). This works on i386 because
even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with
put_user/get_user. That is not true for s390. In short the ioctl
implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.

[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through
Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to. Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().
ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.
This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning. The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem. Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail. I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)
The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems. It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM. I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).
Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.
No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.
Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI. It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio. It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.
So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.
