rsxx: Disallow discards from being unmapped.
This patch fixes a bug in which discards were always
calling pci_unmap_page. Discards should never call the
pci_unmap_page function call because they are never mapped.
This caused a race condition on PowerPC systems when issuing
discards, writes, and reads all at the same time. The
pci_map_page function would eventually map logical address
0 for a read or write. Discards are always assigned a DMA
address of 0 because they are never mapped. So if
pci_map_page mapped address 0 for a DMA and a discard was
"unmapped" then the address would be freed and would cause
an EEH event to occur when Hardware accesses the address.
This was injected/uncovered in commit:
b347f9cf0bc8d42ee95ba1d3837fd93045ab336b
The pci_dma_mapping_error function declares -1 a DMA_ERROR
not 0 like initially thought So before we would never unmap
discards because they were considered NULL.
This patch should fall on top of commit id:
fc1967bb08a6184ed44ef990e1dd4389901b809c
Also, the driver version is being up dated.
