Split the header generation from the (normal) memcpy part if a bytestring is copied into the command buffer. This allows in-place generation of the bytestring content.

Every step starts with resetting the cmd buffer as well as the comid and constructs the appropriate OPAL_CALL command. Consequently, those actions may be combined into one generic function. On should take care that the opening and closing tokens for the argument list are already emitted by cmd_start and cmd_finalize respectively and thus must not be additionally added.

The implementation of IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR handled the value opal_mbr_data.enable_disable incorrectly: enable_disable is expected to be one of OPAL_MBR_ENABLE(0) or OPAL_MBR_DISABLE(1). enable_disable was passed directly to set_mbr_done and set_mbr_enable_disable where is was interpreted as either OPAL_TRUE(1) or OPAL_FALSE(0). The end result was that calling IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR with OPAL_MBR_ENABLE actually disabled the shadow MBR and vice versa. This patch adds correct conversion from OPAL_MBR_DISABLE/ENABLE to OPAL_FALSE/TRUE. The change affects existing programs using IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR but this is typically used only once when setting up an Opal drive.

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

TP 8000 says that the use of the SUCCESS flag depends on weather the controller support disabling sq_head pointer updates. Given that we support it by default, makes sense that we go the extra mile to actually use the SUCCESS flag. When we create the C2HData PDU header, we check if sqhd_disabled is set on our queue, if so, we set the SUCCESS flag in the PDU header and skip sending a completion response capsule.

Update the code to use a zero-sized array instead of a pointer in structure nvmet_fc_tgt_queue and use struct_size() in kzalloc(). Notice that one of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(struct boo) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently if many flush requests are submitted to an md device is quick succession, they are serialized and can take a long to process them all. We don't really need to call flush all those times - a single flush call can satisfy all requests submitted before it started. So keep track of when the current flush started and when it finished, allow any pending flush that was requested before the flush started to complete without waiting any more.

This reverts commit 5a409b4f. This patch has two problems. 1/ it make multiple calls to submit_bio() from inside a make_request_fn. The bios thus submitted will be queued on current->bio_list and not submitted immediately. As the bios are allocated from a mempool, this can theoretically result in a deadlock - all the pool of requests could be in various ->bio_list queues and a subsequent mempool_alloc could block waiting for one of them to be released. 2/ It aims to handle a case when there are many concurrent flush requests. It handles this by submitting many requests in parallel - all of which are identical and so most of which do nothing useful. It would be more efficient to just send one lower-level request, but allow that to satisfy multiple upper-level requests.
