Hello Mike, hello Martin,

here is v4 of my attempt to add retry logic to SG_IO on dm-multipath devices.

Regards
Martin

Changes v3->v4 (thanks to Mike Snitzer):

 - Added an additional helper function sg_io_to_blk_status() to
   scsi_ioctl.c, in order to avoid open-coding handling of the SCSI result
   code in device-mapper.

 - Added a new method dm_sg_io_ioctl_fn() in struct target_type, define
   only by the multipath target. This allows moving the bulk of the new
   code to dm-mpath.c, and avoids the wrong limitation of the code to
   request-based multipath.

Changes v2->v3:

 - un-inlined scsi_result_to_blk_status again, and move the helper
   __scsi_result_to_blk_status to block/scsi_ioctl.c instead
   (Bart v. Assche)
 - open-coded the status/msg/host/driver-byte -> result conversion
   where the standard SCSI helpers aren't usable (Bart v. Assche)
    
Changes v1->v2:

 - applied modifications from Mike Snitzer
 - moved SG_IO dependent code to a separate file, no scsi includes in
   dm.c any more
 - made the new code depend on a configuration option 
 - separated out scsi changes, made scsi_result_to_blk_status()
   inline to avoid dependency of dm_mod from scsi_mod (Paolo Bonzini)

Martin Wilck (3):
  scsi: scsi_ioctl: export __scsi_result_to_blk_status()
  scsi: scsi_ioctl: add sg_io_to_blk_status()
  dm mpath: add CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_SG_IO - failover for SG_IO
