We have found some issues with Au1550 AC'97 OSS driver in 2.6
(sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c), though it also should concern 2.4 driver
(drivers/sound/au1550_psc.c).
start_dac() grabs a spinlock already held by its caller, au1550_write().
This doesn't show up with the standard UP spinlock impelmentation but when
the different one (mutex based) is in use, a lockup happens.
And the interrupt handlers also didn't grab the spinlock -- that's OK in
the usual kernel but not when the IRQ handlers are threaded. So, they're
grabbing the spinlock now (as every correct interrupt handler should do).

While doing some testing I discovered that if the BIOS on a board does not
properly setup the DMI information it leads to a panic in the IPMI code.
The panic is due to dereferencing a pointer which is not initialized. The
pointer is initialized in port_setup() and/or mem_setup() and used in
init_one_smi() and cleanup_one_si(), however if either port_setup() or
mem_setup() return ENODEV the pointer does not get initialized.

convert st to always send scatterlists and kill scsi_request
usage.
This is the same as last time as it was posted, but with Kai's patches
merged and we now pass the bytes value to scsi_execute_async.
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 handle all queue limits so we can find
out about problems before calling scsi_execute_async.
- move indirect (copy_to/from_user) paths commone 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.

Add kmemcache of scsi io contexts.
In the future when we finalize on where these functions will live
we can add a mempool for it and do a bioset for out REQ_BLOCK_PC
bios. This is needed becuase the dm-multipath handlers will
want to use the scsi_exectute* functions for failover and we cannot
have them and the bio device allocating from the same mempool.

sd does not allow scsi_io_completion to retry commands for
SG_IO requests, and it make sense that it should not happen for st
SG_IO commands too. If for st we hit the bottom of scsi_io_completion
we will probably screw things up pretty bad. This patch returns to the
block layer that the whole command completed and relies on the caller to check
the request errors field. For initialization commands like in sd, this adds
the previous behavior where scsi_io_completion did not process the error.

For tape we need to control the retries. This patch adds a retries
counter on the request for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands originating from
scsi_execute* to use. REQ_BLOCK_PC commands comming from the block
layer SG_IO path continue to use the retires set in the ULD init_command.
(scsi_execute* does not set the gendisk so we do not execute
the init_command in that path).

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

The following patch fixes a bug where if the journal is aborted, it can
leave a transaction open. The result will be a BUG when another code
path attempts to start a transaction and will get a "nesting into
different fs" error, since current->journal_info will be left non-NULL.

This should have been part of the original io error patch, but got
dropped somewhere along the way.
It's extremely important when handling the i/o error in the journal to
not commit the transaction with corrupt data. This patch adds that code
back in.

Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage. Probably
a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent
kernel problem too.
It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through
EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has
been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64,
ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64. So it is really only moderately
experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can
trigger "issues".
