We will be mapping the RAID volumes in mptsas to a reserved
channel that
is one larger than the anticapated number of ports on the direct
attached host
adapter.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

We need to iterate over all children when removing and expander, else
stale objects will be around after host removal. This fixes the oops
Eric Moore saw when removing and reloading mptsas.
Also don't try the scsi_remove_target call unless operating on an end
device. The current unconditional call is harmless but confusing.

We need to clear the backpointer on rphy removal, else we'll run into
problems with host removal after a device has been hot unplugged.

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

Add a flag to mark a PHY as attached to the HBA as opposed to beeing on
an expander. This is needed because various features are only supported
on those. This is a crude hack, the proper fix would be to use
different classes for host-attached vs expander phys. I'm looking into
that.

For now supporting the ->get_linkerrors method is mandatory. I'll
probably be beaten to implement the .show_foo variables and different
types of attributes soon..

Brown paperbag bug: sas_rphy_delete was ordered completely
wrong. Fix it up to be the same order as sas_phy_delete or
fc_rport_terminate and fix rphy objects that leaked after module
removal.

The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.
In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.
There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.
This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.
I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
of course very welcome.
I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
design.
