Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

Use the new {max,min}3 macros to save some cycles and bytes on the stack.
This patch substitutes trivial nested macros with their counterpart.

Use the list_first_entry() macro in ib_srp instead of open-coding the equivalent,
which makes the source code slightly more descriptive.  The list_first_entry()
macro itself was introduced in kernel 2.6.22.

<content type='text'>
As proposed by the SRP (draft) standard, ib_srp reserves one ring
element for SRP_TSK_MGMT requests. This patch makes sure that the SCSI
mid-layer never tries to queue more than (SRP request limit) - 1 SCSI
commands to ib_srp. This improves performance for targets whose request
limit is less than or equal to SRP_NORMAL_REQ_SQ_SIZE by reducing the
number of BUSY responses reported by ib_srp to the SCSI mid-layer.

<title>IB/srp: Implement SRP_CRED_REQ and SRP_AER_REQ</title>

<id>bb12588a38e6db85e01dceadff7bc161fc92e7d2</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for SRP_CRED_REQ to avoid a lockup by targets
that use that mechanism to return credits to the initiator. This
prevents a lockup observed in the field where we would never add the
credits from the SRP_CRED_REQ to our current count, and would therefore
never send another command to the target.

Minimal support for SRP_AER_REQ is also added, as these messages can
also be used to convey additional credits to the initiator.

Based upon extensive debugging and code by Bart Van Assche and a bug
report by Chris Worley.
