[SCSI] mpt2sas : bump driver version to 01.100.02.00
The MPT2SAS_MAJOR_VERSION didn't get bumped from 00 to 01 so
applications will see it incorrectly as 00.100.02.00 driver instead of
01.100.02.00. Fix by making MPT2SAS_MAJOR_VERSION match the major
number in MPT2SAS_DRIVER_VERSION

The same can happen for iscsi when transitioning from logged in

This patch converts iscsi and fc's transitions back to use DID_IMM_RETRY
instead of DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED which has a limited number of retries
that we do not want to use for handling this race.

This is a summery of the wire changes:
* OSDv2_ADDITIONAL_CDB_LENGTH == 192 => 228 (Total CDB is now 236 bytes)
* Attributes List Element Header grew, so attribute values are 8 bytes

In OSD2r04 draft, cryptographic key size changed to 32 bytes from
OSD1's 20 bytes. This causes a couple of on-the-wire structures
to change, including the CDB.

to affected structures, but on-the-wire is still the same. All
on the wire changes will be submitted in one patch for bisect-ability.

In OSD2r05 draft each attribute list element header was changed
so attribute-value would be 8 bytes aligned. In OSD2r01-r04
it was aligned on 2 bytes. (This is because in OSD2r01 the complete
element was 8 bytes padded at end but the header was not adjusted
and caused permanent miss-alignment.)
OSD1 elements are not padded and might be or might not be aligned.
OSD1 is still supported.
In this code we do all the code re-factoring to separate OSD1/OSD2
differences but do not change actual wire format. All wire format
changes will happen in one patch later, for bisect-ability.

Diagnostic buffer support is already there in the driver. This support allows
applications to pull ring buffers from controller firmware for debugging
firmware related issues.
What this patch does is sends reqeust to firmware to release the buffers prior
to host reset. This will allow what ever debug info is there prior to reset
to be dma'd to host memory. With out this fix, some of the debug data would
been lost.

An addtional fix adding sanity check to insure sas_device->starget set to NULL.

The poison sanity check on the reply_post_free register needs to be by 32bit,
not 64bit. The poison check is there because its possible that the driver read
the 1st 32bit before the 2nd 32bit has been written to by firmware. In other
words, this handles race between driver reading the 64 bit register, and it
being dma'd across pci memory from controller firmware as two 32bit pci writes.

Rogue ports are currently not tracked on any list. The only reference
to them is through any outstanding exchanges pending on the rogue ports.
If the module is removed while a retry is set on a rogue port
(say a Plogi retry for instance), this retry is not cancelled because there
is no reference to the rogue port in the discovery rports list. Thus the
local port can clean itself up, delete the exchange pool, and then the
rogue port timeout can fire and try to start up another exchange.
This patch tracks the rogue ports in a new list disc->rogue_rports. Creating
a new list instead of using the disc->rports list keeps remote port code
change to a minimum.
1) Whenever a rogue port is created, it is immediately added to the
disc->rogue_rports list.
2) When the rogues port goes to ready, it is removed from the rogue list
and the real remote port is added to the disc->rports list
3) The removal of the rogue from the disc->rogue_rports list is done in
the context of the fc_rport_work() workQ thread in discovery callback.
4) Real rports are removed from the disc->rports list like before. Lookup
is done only in the real rports list. This avoids making large changes
to the remote port code.
5) In fc_disc_stop_rports, the rogues list is traversed in addition to the
real list to stop the rogue ports and issue logoffs on them. This way, rogue
ports get cleaned up when the local port goes away.
6) rogue remote ports are not removed from the list right away, but
removed late in fc_rport_work() context, multiple threads can find the same
remote port in the list and call rport_logoff(). Rport_logoff() only
continues with the logoff if port is not in NONE state, thus preventing
multiple logoffs and multiple list deletions.
7) Since the rport is removed from the disc list at a later stage
(in the disc callback), incoming frames can find the rport even if
rport_logoff() has been called on the rport. When rport_logoff() is called,
the rport state is set to NONE, and we are trying to cancel all exchanges
and retries on that port. While in this state, if an incoming
Plogi/Prli/Logo or other frames match the rport, we should not reply
because the rport is in the NONE state. Just drop the frame, since the
rport will be deleted soon in the disc callback (fc_rport_work)
8) In fc_disc_single(), remove rport lookup and call to fc_disc_del_target.
fc_disc_single() is called from recv_rscn_req() where rport lookup
and rport_logoff is already done.

For instance, if there is a Plogi pending (remote port is in Plogi state),
and the state changes to say NONE (because the port is being logged off),
then when the Plogi resp times out, do not start a retry.
This patch partially reverts an earlier patch (libfc: check for err when
recv and state is incorrect), by moving the state check back to before
checking for error. However, if the state does not match, then there is
an additional check to see if its an error ptr or a real frame before
jumping to err or out respectively.

So, what's happening here is that the drive is reporting a sense of
2/4/1 ("logical unit is becoming ready") from sr_test_unit_ready(), and
then we ask for the media event notification before checking that result
at all. The check_media_event_descriptor() call isn't getting a check
condition, but it's also reporting that the tray is closed and that
there's no media. In actuality it doesn't yet know if there's media or
not, but there's no way to express that in the media event status field.
My current thought is that if it told us the device isn't yet ready, we
should return that immediately, since there's nothing that'll tell us
any more data than that reliably:

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.
