We get a warning for the fas216 driver when it is compiled as a loadable
module, as the __setup() functions are never called then:

scsi/arm/fas216.c:101:19: warning: 'fas216_log_setup' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 static int __init fas216_log_setup(char *str)

This adds an #ifndef MODULE around the definition to shut up the warning
and clarify for the reader when it is used or not.

The calc_sync_xfer function is only used if CONFIG_SCSI_ACORNSCSI_SYNC
is set, otherwise we get a compiler warning:

scsi/arm/acornscsi.c:680:15: warning: 'calc_sync_xfer' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 unsigned char calc_sync_xfer(unsigned int period, unsigned int offset)

This marks the function as __maybe_unused to shut up the warning and
silently drop the function in the object code when there is no caller.

<title>ncr5380: Fix soft lockups</title>

<content type='text'>
Because of the rudimentary design of the chip, it is necessary to poll the
SCSI bus signals during PIO and this tends to hog the CPU. The driver will
accept new commands while others execute, and this causes a soft lockup
because the workqueue item will not terminate until the issue queue is
emptied.

When exercising dmx3191d using sequential IO from dd, the driver is sent
512 KiB WRITE commands and 128 KiB READs. For a PIO transfer, the rate is
is only about 300 KiB/s, so these are long-running commands. And although
PDMA may run at several MiB/s, interrupts are disabled for the duration
of the transfer.

Fix the unresponsiveness and soft lockup issues by calling cond_resched()
after each command is completed and by limiting max_sectors for drivers
that don't implement real DMA.

<title>ncr5380: Use standard list data structure</title>

The NCR5380 drivers have a home-spun linked list implementation for
scsi_cmnd structs that uses cmd-&gt;host_scribble as a 'next' pointer. Adopt
the standard list_head data structure and list operations instead. Remove
the eh_abort_handler rather than convert it. Doing the conversion would
only be churn because the existing EH handlers don't work and get replaced
in a subsequent patch.

Some NCR5380 hosts offer a .show_info method to access the contents of
the various command list data structures from a procfs file. When NDEBUG
is set, the same information is sent to the console during EH.

The two core drivers, atari_NCR5380.c and NCR5380.c differ here. Because
it is just for debugging, the easiest way to fix the discrepancy is
simply remove this code.

The only remaining users of NCR5380_show_info() and NCR5380_write_info()
are drivers that define PSEUDO_DMA. The others have no use for the
.show_info method, so don't initialize it.

Follow the example of the atari_NCR5380.c core driver and adopt the
NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() hook. Implement NCR5380_dma_xfer_len() for dtc.c
and g_NCR5380.c to take care of the limitations of these cards. Keep the
default for drivers using PSEUDO_DMA.

Eliminate the unused macro LIMIT_TRANSFERSIZE.

<id>urn:sha1:b6488f97d3b5b602a066956e58a1ba282456d79b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch splits the NCR5380_init() function into two parts, similar
to the scheme used with atari_NCR5380.c. This avoids two problems.

Firstly, NCR5380_init() may perform a bus reset, which would cause the
chip to assert IRQ. The chip is unable to mask its bus reset interrupt.
Drivers can't call request_irq() before calling NCR5380_init(), because
initialization must happen before the interrupt handler executes. If
driver initialization causes an interrupt it may be problematic on some
platforms. To avoid that, first move the bus reset code into
NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus().

Secondly, NCR5380_init() contains some board-specific interrupt setup code
for the NCR53C400 that does not belong in the core driver. In moving this
code, better not re-order interrupt initialization and bus reset. Again,
the solution is to move the bus reset code into NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus().
