Christoph Hellwig 21b2f0c803 [SCSI] unify SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND implementations
We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code.  Both of them have drawbacks.

This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:

 - argument checking
 - use scatterlist I/O
 - set number of retries based on the submitted command

This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path.  Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?

Thanks to  Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

Jens Axboe 01840f9c9d [PATCH] blk: Fix SG_IO ioctl failure retry looping
When issuing an SG_IO ioctl through sd that resulted in an unrecoverable
error, a nearly infinite retry loop was discovered. This is due to the
fact that the block layer SG_IO code is not setting up rq->retries. This
patch also fixes up the sg_scsi_ioctl path.

Randy.Dunlap c59ede7b78 [PATCH] move capable() to capability.h
- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h;

- Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used
	(in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/,
	mm/, security/, & sound/;
	many more drivers/ to go)

Arjan van de Ven 64100099ed [BLOCK] mark some block/ variables cons
the patch below marks various read-only variables in block/* as const,
so that gcc can optimize the use of them; eg gcc will replace the use by
the value directly now and will even remove the memory usage of these.

Mike Christie defd94b754 [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectors
- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait
needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests
- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.

Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

Jens Axboe 3a65dfe8c0 [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.
