James Bottomley b21a413851 [SCSI] add global timeout to the scsi mid-layer
There are certain rogue devices (and the aic7xxx driver) that return
BUSY or QUEUE_FULL forever.  This code will apply a global timeout (of
the total number of retries times the per command timer) to a given
command.  If it is exceeded, the command is completed regardless of its
state.

The patch also removes the unused field in the command: timeout and
timeout_total.

This solves the problem of detecting an endless loop in the mid-layer
because of BUSY/QUEUE_FULL bouncing, but will not recover the device.
In the aic7xxx case, the driver can be recovered by sending a bus reset,
so possibly this should be tied into the error handler?

Christoph Hellwig 8d115f845a [SCSI] remove scsi_cmnd->state
We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it
for sending internal commands.  That usage can be fixed easily because
those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily
use a completion there.

Never used for anything but printing it out in debug routines.

Christoph Hellwig a4c8f62851 [SCSI] remove scsi_cmnd.eh_state
it's never set to anything, and just three broken drivers are looking
at it and doing odd things.

c6295cdf65 [PATCH] scsi: remove meaningless scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout field
scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose
anymore.  All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests
are always true in abort callbacks.  Kill the field.  Also, as
->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number
doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments
above ->serial_number accordingly.  Once we remove all uses of
this field from all lldd's, this field should go.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
