cat smartpqi_6.6_cover_letter
These patches are based on Martin Petersen's 6.6/scsi-queue tree
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkp/scsi.git
  6.6/scsi-queue

The biggest functional change to smartpqi is the addition of an abort
handler. Some customers were complaining about I/O stalls to all devices
when only one device is reset. Adding an abort handler helps to prevent
I/O stalls to all devices.

All of the reset of the patches are small changes to logging messages,
MACRO and variable name changes, and one minor change for LUN assignments.

This set of changes consists of:
* smartpqi-add-abort-handler
  When a device reset occurs, the SML pauses I/O to all devices presented
  by a controller instance causing some performance issues.
  To only affect device with a problematic request, we added an abort handler.
  The abort handler is implemented by using a device reset, but I/O to the
  other devices is no longer affected.
* smartpqi-refactor-rename-MACRO-to-clarify-purpose
  The MACRO SOP_RC_INCORRECT_LOGICAL_UNIT was used to check for a condition 
  where a TMF was sent an incorrect LUN. We renamed this MACRO to
  SOP_TMF_INCORRECT_LOGICAL_UNIT for clarity.
* smartpqi-refactor-rename-pciinfo-to-pci_info
  Change the pciinfo variable to pci_info to make more readable code.
  No functional changes.
* smartpqi-simplify-lun_number-assignment
  We simplified the conditional expression used to populate LUN numbers
  for requests.
* smartpqi-enhance-shutdown-notification
  Clarify controller cache flush errors. We added in more precise information
  to the cache flush informational message.
  No functional changes.
* smartpqi-enhance-controller-offline-notification
  The driver can offline a controller for multiple reasons. We added
  a description of why these rare offline actions are taken. And a function
  to provide the specific details of the shutdown.
* smartpqi-enhance-error-messages
  We added host:bus:target:lun to messages emitted in our reset/abort handlers.
  No functional changes.
* smartpqi-change-driver-version-to-2.1.24-046
