[ Upstream commit a7043e9529f3c367cc4d82997e00be034cbe57ca ]

My static checker complains about an out of bounds read:

    drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.c:2786 mptctl_hp_targetinfo()
    error: buffer overflow 'hd-&gt;sel_timeout' 255 &lt;= u32max.

It's true that we probably should have a bounds check here.

First generation MPT Fusion controllers can not translate WRITE SAME

commit 28558f5af50d8335cbbc8bc2726e0747553e29f5 upstream.

The seq_mpt_print_ioc_summary function is used for the
/proc/mpt/iocN/summary implementation and never gets called when
CONFIG_PROC_FS is disabled:

drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c:6851:13: warning: 'seq_mpt_print_ioc_summary' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
 static void seq_mpt_print_ioc_summary(MPT_ADAPTER *ioc, struct seq_file *m, int showlan)

This adds an #ifdef to hide the function definition in that case and
avoid the warning.

There is a static checker warning here because "bytes" is controlled by
the user and we cap the upper bound with min() but allow negatives.
Negative bytes will result in some nasty warning messages but are not
super harmful.  Anyway, no one needs negative bytes so let's just check
for it and return NULL.

<content type='text'>
This patch changes the !blk-mq path to the same defaults as the blk-mq
I/O path by always enabling block tagging, and always using host wide
tags.  We've had blk-mq available for a few releases so bugs with
this mode should have been ironed out, and this ensures we get better
coverage of over tagging setup over different configs.

These are signed values the come from the user, we put a cap on the
upper bounds but not on the lower bounds.

We use "karg.dataSgeOffset" to calculate "sz".  We verify "sz" and
proceed as if that means that "karg.dataSgeOffset" is correct but this
fails to consider that the "sz" calculations can have integer overflows.

<title>fusion: remove dead MTRR code</title>

If and when this gets enabled the driver could should split
up IO memory space properly and that is quite a bit of work.
Just remove the uncommented dead MTRR code then.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture specific and on
   x86 its replaced by PAT

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
   _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

A user of scsi_track_queue_full should pass to the function a constant value
untill the queue-depth changes, otherwise the internal logic in
scsi_track_queue_full rejects the change.  Other users of this function use a
'sdev-&gt;queue_depth - 1' as depth parameter, let's do the same.

The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.

The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.

We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.

It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.

Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.
