sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so
the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
free the page.
Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This
fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a
constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

The patch also removes the scsi_disk devfs_name field as it's no longer

When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.

Convert sg to always send scatterlists, and kill scsi_request usage.
TODO:
- move DIO code to common place or make block layers usable for ULDs.
- move buffer allocation code to common place for all ULDs to use. And
make buffer allocation code obey all queue limits so we can find
out about problems before calling scsi_execute_async. Currently, sg.c
could allocate a buffer that is too large, and send the request
to scsi_execute_async. scsi_execute_async will then check it against
all the queue limits and return a failure in this case. It would nicer
to know about the queue limit violation right away.
- move indirect (copy_to/from_user) paths commone place or make block

2.6.15-rc1 made sg's st_unmap_user_pages and st's sgl_unmap_user_pages
BUG on a PageReserved page. But that's wrong: they could be unmapping
the ZERO_PAGE, which is marked PG_reserved; and perhaps others (while
get_user_pages is still permitted on VM_PFNMAP areas - that may change).
More change is needed here: sg claims to dirty even pages written from,
and st claims not to dirty even pages read into; and SetPageDirty is not
adequate for this nowadays. Fixes to those follow in a later patch: for

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

Further to the problem discussed in this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112540053711489&w=2
It seems that the sg driver does not need to set the VM_IO flag
on pages that it memory maps to the user space since they are
not from the IO space. Ahmed Teirelbar <ahmed.teirelbar@adic.com>
wants the facility and has tested this patch as I have without
adverse effects.
The oops protection is still important. Some users really did
try and use dio transfers from the sg driver to memory mapped
IO space (on a video capture card if my memory serves) during the
lk 2.4 series. I'm not sure how successful it was but that will
now be politely refused in lk 2.6.13+ .

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.

A problem exists todayin the sg driver that if an SG_IO request is
outstanding to a device when it is removed from the system. The
system may oops if that command completes later in time.
1. sg_remove gets called
2. sg_remove calls sg_finish_req_req on all pending requests
This removes the Sg_request's from the headrp list in the Sg_fd
3. The sleeping SG_IO ioctl is woken. It does nothing and returns.
4. The caller closes the fd, which invokes sg_release
5. sg_release calls sg_remove_sfp. It finds no outstanding commands
since the headrp list is empty, so it calls __sg_remove_sfp,
which frees the sfp.
6. Now when sg_cmd_done gets called, sg uses upper_private_data in
the Scsi_Request, which should point to the srp, which has been
freed, so it points to freed memory.
7. sg then dereferences the srp pointer to get the sfp, and we oops.
The fix is to NULL out the upper_private_data field in this path,
which sg_cmd_done already checks for, which will prevent the oops
from occurring.
