Now that we only have a single task per command we can use a direct pointer

Simply transport_generic_new_cmd to only allocate a single task. For normal
unidirection commands nothing changes except that the code is a lot simpler
now. Any BIDI support that used to work will stop now for the next few
patches at least.

Now that we don't split commands the size field in the task is always

due to a BIDI transfer. Just refer the the size in the command instead
of duplicating it in the task.

Now that tasks are always the same size as the command there is no need
to rewrite a CDB in common code. Notw that we keep the separately allocated
CDB in the pscsi and stgt backends for now, to easy reintroducing any
command splitting local to these backends if nessecary.

We can use kcalloc() here instead of kzalloc(). It's better style and
it has overflow checking built in.
Also -ENOMEM is the correct error code for allocation errors. -1 means
-EPERM. None of the callers preserve the error codes so it doesn't
matter except as a cleanup.

We originally changed iscsi to allocate its own buffers just as an
intermediate step to clean up some core buffer allocation mechanisms. Now
we can put it back.
Also had to change allocate_iovecs to use data_length instead of
t_data_nents because iovecs are now allocated before the data buffer, thus
t_data_nents is not yet initialized.

if we can get calls to init_se_cmd, get_sess_cmd, lookup_cmd_lun,

Immediate queue:
Consolidate down to one switch statement by moving send_tx_data and stuff
from second switch into the first switch, or the functions the first switch
calls.
Response queue:
Do not lock istate_lock except directly around i_state modifications.
Put entire ISTATE_SEND_DATAIN path within first switch statement, in prep
for further refactoring.
All other cases set use_misc = 1 and will not be using sendpage, so just
use send_tx_data for these and set use_misc param to 1.
map_sg, sent_status, use_misc, and se_cmd vars no longer needed.
Then put immediate and response handling in separate functions in order
to get iscsi_target_tx_thread down to where it fits on a page.

Now that all fabrics are converted over to using se_cmd->t_data_sg
directly, we can drop the task sg chaining support. With the modern
memory allocation in target core, task sg chaining is needless
overhead -- we would split up the main cmd sglist into pieces, and
then splice those pieces back together instead of just using the
original list directly.

From hch:
The high-performance backends (iblock and rd) support tasks of unlimited
size. With that there is no reason to keep a complex infrastructure for
splitting up commands in place. Stop doing so and only submit a single
task per data direction. Once this is in place we can slowly remove fields
from the task that duplicate things in the command, or move other fields
into the command.
From nab:
The benefit to IBLOCK performance by removing the additional
fast-path allocation overhead + SGL mapping to se_task->task_sg[] is now
greater than transparently supporting an received CDB I/O length that
exceeds what is allowed by backend pSCSI LLD hardware max_sectors, that
was originally supported for all backend export cases.
This change may effect some users of pSCSI users on legacy hardware, but
I think most folks are now using TYPE_DISK struct scsi_device export
with IBLOCK. The only other place where this may can issues that cannot
be resolved with IBLOCK TYPE_DISK is using TYPE_ROM, TYPE_TAPE or other
pSCSI non TYPE_DISK export with an SCSI LLDs using a smaller
max_sectors.

The UASP protocol does not inform the target device upfront how much
data it should expect so we have to learn in from the CDB. So in order
to handle this case, add a TARGET_SCF_UNKNOWN_SIZE to target_submit_cmd()
and perform an explictly assignment for se_cmd->data_length from the
extracted CDB size in transport_generic_cmd_sequencer().

This was used at one time as a hack by FILEIO backend registration to
allow a struct block_device that was claimed with blkdev_get (by a local
filesystem mount for example) to be exported as read-only (SCSI WP=1).
Since FILEIO backend registration will no longer attempt to obtain
exclusive access to an underlying struct block_device here, this flag is
now obsolete.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.
This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a

Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.

The original XenoLinux code has always had things this way, and for
compatibility reasons (in particular with a subsequent pciback
adjustment) upstream Linux should behave the same way (allowing for two
distinct error indications to be returned by the backend).

Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a
positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount
requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an
operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation
results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according
to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux
behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here,
passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.
