[PATCH RFC v2 00/24] scsi: enable reserved commands for LLDDs

This is v2 of original series from Hannes, which I'm hijacking for the
moment:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10967071/

And the background:

Quite some drivers use internal commands for various purposes, most
commonly sending TMFs or querying the HBA status.
While these commands use the same submission mechanism than normal
I/O commands, they will not be counted as outstanding commands,
requiring those drivers to implement their own mechanism to figure
out outstanding commands.
This patchset enables the use of reserved tags for the SCSI midlayer,
enabling LLDDs to rely on the block layer for tracking outstanding
commands.
More importantly, it allows LLDD to request a valid tag from the block
layer without having to implement some tracking mechanism within the
driver. This removes quite some hacks which were required for some
drivers (eg. fnic or snic).

Finally:

As I see, there is no dependency on this series to go into the kernel now.
And we need it for [0].

Note: [0] also depends on [1]

Differences to v1:
- Make scsi_{get, put}_reserved_cmd() for Scsi host
- Previously we separate scsi_{get, put}_reserved_cmd() for sdev
and scsi_host_get_reserved_cmd() for the host
- Fix how Scsi_Host.can_queue is set in the virtio-scsi change
- Drop Scsi_Host.use_reserved_cmd_q
- Drop scsi_is_reserved_cmd()
- It was unused
- But keep blk_mq_rq_is_reserved()
- Add support in libsas and associated HBA drivers
- Allocate reserved command in slow task
- Switch hisi_sas to use reserved Scsi command
- Reorder the series a little
- Some tidying

Hannes Reinecke (22):
scsi: add 'nr_reserved_cmds' field to the SCSI host template
scsi: allocate separate queue for reserved commands
blk-mq: Implement blk_mq_rq_is_reserved()
scsi: Add scsi_{get, put}_reserved_cmd()
csiostor: use reserved command for LUN reset
scsi: add scsi_cmd_from_priv()
virtio_scsi: use reserved commands for TMF
scsi: add host tagset busy iterator
fnic: use reserved commands
fnic: use scsi_host_tagset_busy_iter() to traverse commands
hpsa: move hpsa_hba_inquiry after scsi_add_host()
hpsa: use reserved commands
hpsa: use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to traverse outstanding commands
hpsa: drop refcount field from CommandList
snic: use reserved commands
snic: use tagset iter for traversing commands
aacraid: move scsi_add_host()
aacraid: use private commands
aacraid: replace cmd_list with scsi_host_tagset_busy_iter()
aacraid: use scsi_host_tagset_busy_iter() to traverse outstanding
commands
dpt_i2o: drop cmd_list usage
scsi: drop scsi command list

John Garry (2):
scsi: libsas: aic94xx: hisi_sas: mvsas: pm8001: Allocate Scsi_cmd for
slow task
scsi: hisi_sas: Use libsas slow task SCSI command
