      scsi_dh: Use the correct module name when loading device handler · 1378889c
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This fixes a bug in recent kernels which results in failure to boot
on systems that have multipath SCSI disks.  I observed this failure
on a POWER8 server where all the disks are multipath SCSI disks.
The symptoms are several messages like this on the console:

[    3.018700] device-mapper: table: 253:0: multipath: error attaching hardware handler
[    3.018828] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

and the system does not find its disks, and therefore fails to boot.

Bisection revealed that the bug was introduced in commit 566079c8,
"dm-mpath, scsi_dh: request scsi_dh modules in scsi_dh, not dm-mpath".
The specific reason for the failure is that where we previously loaded
the "scsi_dh_alua" module, we are now trying to load the "alua" module,
which doesn't exist.

To fix this, we change the request_module call in scsi_dh_lookup()
to prepend "scsi_dh_" to the name, just like the old code in
drivers/md/dm-mpath.c:parse_hw_handler() used to do.

[jejb: also fixes issue spotted by Sasha Levin that formatting
characters could be passed in via sysfs and cause issues with
request_module()]

      blk: rq_data_dir() should not return a boolean · 10fbd36e
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not
a boolean value.

Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as
zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and
causes gcc to warn about the construct

    switch (rq_data_dir(req)) {
        case READ:
            ...
        case WRITE:
            ...

that we have in a few drivers.

Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the
switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about
_any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly
and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like
this:

  drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’:
  drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool]
     switch (rq_data_dir(req)) {

The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in
commit 5953316d ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is
presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1)
would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too.

But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast
the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'.
