The fops owned by the adapter can be corrupted in certain scenarios,
opening a window where certain fops are temporarily NULLed before being
reset to their proper value. This can potentially lead software to make
incorrect decisions, leaving the user with the inability to function as
intended.
An example of this behavior can be observed when there are a number of
users with a high rate of turn around (attach to LUN, perform an I/O,
detach from LUN, repeat). Every so often a user is given a valid
context and adapter file descriptor, but the file associated with the
descriptor lacks the correct read permission bit (FMODE_CAN_READ) and
thus the read system call bails before calling the valid read fop.
Background:
The fops is stored in the adapter structure to provide the ability to
lookup the adapter structure from within the fop handler. CXL services
use the file's private_data and at present, the CXL context does not
have a private section. In an effort to limit areas of the cxlflash
driver with code specific the superpipe function, a design choice was
made to keep the details of the fops situated away from the legacy
portions of the driver. This drove the behavior that the adapter fops
is set at the beginning of the disk attach ioctl handler when there
are no users present.
The corruption that this fix remedies is due to the fact that the fops
is initially defaulted to values found within a static structure. When
the fops is handed down to the CXL services later in the attach path,
certain services are patched. The fops structure remains correct until
the user count drops to 0 and the fops is reset, triggering the process
to repeat again. The user counts are tightly coupled with the creation
and deletion of the user context. If multiple users perform a disk
attach at the same time, when the user count is currently 0, some users
can be in the middle of obtaining a file descriptor and have not yet
reached the context creation code that [in addition to creating the
context] increments the user count. Subsequent users coming in to
perform the attach see that the user count is still 0, and reinitialize
the fops, temporarily removing the patched fops. The users that are in
the middle obtaining their file descriptor may then receive an invalid
descriptor.
The fix simply removes the user count altogether and moves the fops
initialization to probe time such that it is only performed one time
for the life of the adapter. In the future, if the CXL services adopt
a private member for their context, that could be used to store the
adapter structure reference and cxlflash could revert to a model that
does not require an embedded fops.

There are several spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the
driver. Additionally there are a handful of places where there
are extra lines and unnecessary variables/statements. These are
a nuisance and pollute the driver.
Fix spelling and grammar issues. Update some comments for clarity and
consistency. Remove extra lines and a few unneeded variables/statements.

Sparse uncovered several errors with MMIO operations (accessing
directly) and handling endianness. These can cause issues when
running in different environments.
Introduce __iomem and proper endianness tags/swaps where
appropriate to make driver sparse clean.

The AFU version is stored as a non-terminated string of bytes within
a 64-bit little-endian register. Presently the value is read directly
(no MMIO accessor) and is stored in a buffer that is not big enough
to contain a NULL terminator. Additionally the version obtained is not
evaluated against a known value to prevent usage with unsupported AFUs.
All of these deficiencies can lead to a variety of problems.
To remedy, use the correct MMIO accessor to read the version value into
a null-terminated buffer and add a check to prevent an incompatible AFU
from being used with this driver.

Following a link up event, the LUNs available to the host may
have changed. Without rescanning the host, the LUN topology is
unknown to the user. In such a state, the user would be unable
to locate provisioned resources.
To remedy, the host should be rescanned after a link up event.

Borrowing the TMF waitq's spinlock causes a stall condition when
waiting for the TMF to complete. To remedy, introduce our own spin
lock to serialize TMF and use the appropriate wait services.
Also add a timeout while waiting for a TMF completion. When a TMF
times out, report back a failure such that a bigger hammer reset
can occur.

Limbo is not an accurate representation of this state and is
also not consistent with the terminology that other drivers
use to represent this concept. Rename the state and and its
associated waitq to 'reset'.

During an EEH freeze event, certain CXL services should not be
called until after the hardware reset has taken place. Doing so
can result in unnecessary failures and possibly cause other ill
effects by triggering hardware accesses. This translates to a
requirement to quiesce all threads that may potentially use CXL
runtime service during this window. In particular, multiple ioctls
make use of the CXL services when acting on contexts on behalf of
the user. Thus, it is essential to 'drain' running ioctls _before_
proceeding with handling the EEH freeze event.
Create the ability to drain ioctls by wrapping the ioctl handler
call in a read semaphore and then implementing a small routine that
obtains the write semaphore, effectively creating a wait point for
all currently executing ioctls.

Introduce support for enhanced I/O error handling.
A device state is added to track 3 possible states of the device:
Normal - the device is operating normally and is fully operational
Limbo - the device is in a reset/recovery scenario and its operational
status is paused
Failed/terminating - the device has either failed to be reset/recovered
or is being terminated (removed); it is no longer
operational
All operations are allowed when the device is operating normally. When the
device transitions to limbo state, I/O must be paused. To help accomplish
this, a wait queue is introduced where existing and new threads can wait
until the device is no longer in limbo. When coming out of limbo, threads
need to check the state and error out gracefully when encountering the
failed state. When the device transitions to the failed/terminating state,
normal operations are no longer allowed. Only specially designated
operations related to graceful cleanup are permitted.
