This means changing the allocator to reference count commands.
The reference count is now the authoritative indicator of whether a
command is allocated or not. The h->cmd_pool_bits bitmap is now
only a heuristic hint to speed up the allocation process, it is no
longer the authoritative record of allocated commands.
Since we changed the command allocator to use reference counting
as the authoritative indicator of whether a command is allocated,
fail_all_outstanding_cmds needs to use the reference count not
h->cmd_pool_bits for this purpose.
Fix hpsa_drain_accel_commands to use the reference count as the
authoritative indicator of whether a command is allocated instead of
the h->cmd_pool_bits bitmap.

When using the ioaccel submission methods, requests destined for RAID volumes
are sometimes diverted to physical devices. The OS has no or limited
knowledge of these physical devices, so it is up to the driver to avoid
pushing the device too hard. It is better to honor the physical device queue
limit rather than making the device spew zillions of TASK SET FULL responses.
This is so that hpsa based devices support /sys/block/sdNN/device/queue_type
of simple, which lets the SCSI midlayer automatically adjust the queue_depth
based on TASK SET FULL and GOOD status.
Adjust the queue depth for a new device after it is created based on the
maximum queue depths of the physical devices that constitute the
device. This drops the maximum queue depth from .can_queue of 1024 to
something like 174 for single-drive RAID-0, 348 for two-drive RAID-1, etc.
It also adjusts for the ratio of data to parity drives.

The original reasoning behind doing this was faulty. An error
of some sort would be encountered, accelerated i/o would be
disabled for that logical drive, the command would be kicked
back out to the SCSI midlayer for a retry, and since i/o accelerator
mode was disabled, it would get retried down the RAID path.
However, something needs to turn ioaccellerator mode back on,
and this rescan request was what did that. However, it was racy,
and extremely bad for performance to rescan all devices, so,
don't do that.

By not doing maintaining a list of queued commands, we can eliminate some spin
locking in the main i/o path and gain significant improvement in IOPS. Remove
the queuing code and the code that calls it; remove now-unused interrupt code;
remove DIRECT_LOOKUP_BIT.
Now that the passthru commands share the same command pool as
the main i/o path, and the total size of the pool is less than
or equal to the number of commands that will fit in the hardware
fifo, there is no need to check to see if we are exceeding the

Allow driver to schedule a rescan whenever a request fails on the ioaccel2 path.
This eliminates the possibility of driver getting stuck in non-ioaccel mode.
IOaccel mode (HP SSD Smart Path) is disabled by driver upon error detection.
Driver relied on idea that request would be retried through normal path, and a
subsequent error would occur on that path, and be processed by controller
firmware. As part of that process, controller disables ioaccel mode and later
reinstates it, signalling driver to change modes.
In some error cases, the error will not duplicate on the standard path,
so the driver could get stuck in non-ioaccel mode.
To avoid that, we allow driver to request a rescan during the next run of the
rescan thread.

If a fifo full condition is encountered, i/o requests will stack
up in the h->reqQ queue. The only thing which empties this queue
is start_io, which only gets called when new i/o requests come in.
If none are forthcoming, i/o in h->reqQ will be stalled.
To fix this, whenever fifo full condition is encountered, this
is recorded, and the interrupt handler examines this to see
if a fifo full condition was recently encountered when a
command completes and will call start_io to prevent i/o's in
h->reqQ from getting stuck.

Dial back the aggressiveness of the controller lockup detection thread.
Currently it will declare the controller to be locked up if it goes
for 10 seconds with no interrupts and no change in the heartbeat
register. Dial back this to 30 seconds with no heartbeat change, and
also snoop the ioctl path and if a firmware flash command is detected,
dial it back further to 4 minutes until the firmware flash command
completes. The reason for this is that during the firmware flash
operation, the controller apparently doesn't update the heartbeat
register as frequently as it is supposed to, and we can get a false

We had both h->max_sg_entries and h->maxsgentries in the per controller
structure which is terribly confusing. max_sg_entries was really
just a constant, 32, which defines how big the "block fetch table"
is, which is as large as the max number of SG elements embedded
within a command (excluding SG elements in chain blocks).
MAXSGENTRIES was the constant used to denote the max number of SG
elements embedded within a command, also a poor name.
So renamed MAXSGENTREIS to SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD, and removed
h->max_sg_entries and replaced it with SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD.
h->maxsgentries is unchanged, and is the maximum number of sg
elements the controller will support in a command, including
those in chain blocks, minus 1 for the chain block pointer..
