[ewg] crash system when srp targets are loaded

[Tziporet Koren]

But we have backport system using compat module
Can you make SRP backports for RHEL 6.x?

As far as I can see the ib_srp source code in OFED-3.5 is identical to what's present in the upstream Linux kernel 3.2. That means that the current OFED 3.5 ib_srp driver can't work on RHEL 6.x since the RHEL 6.x SCSI LLD API is different from the Linux kernel 3.2 SCSI LLD API.

A quote from the Linux kernel 3.2 include file <scsi/scsi_host.h>:

        int (* queuecommand)(struct Scsi_Host *, struct scsi_cmnd *);

A quote from the RHEL 6.3 include file <scsi/scsi_host.h>:

        /*
         * [ ... ]
         * NOTE: The 'lockless' flag in the scsi_host_template indicates
         * whether the host_lock should be held before calling this
         * routine. Also, the lockless queuecommand, as implemented
         * upstream has a different signature.
         */
        int (* queuecommand)(struct scsi_cmnd *,
                             void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)); [ ... ]
        /*
         * True if we are calling queuecommand without the
         * host_lock held. LLDs may want to do this for
         * performance reasons.
         */
        unsigned lockless:1;
