These structures can get embedded in other structures in user-space
and cause all sorts of warnings and problems. So, we better don't take
any chances and keep the zero-length arrays in place for now.
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension
to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length
types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in
C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Update the FC headers for the RDF ELS and populate out the FPIN ELS and the
Link integrity FPIN payload.
RDF is used to register for diagnostic events.
FPIN is how the fabric reports a diagnostic event.
Specifically, this patch:
- Adds the formal definition of TLV descriptors that are now used in a lot
of the FC spec. The simplistic fc_fn_desc structure, basically no more
than the tlv definition, is removed.
- Small tlv helper functions are added as defines.
- The list of known Descriptor tags (identifying the TLV) is expanded and
a name initializer introduced.
- The LSRI descriptor, returned in many new ELS response payloads is
added.
- The RDF ELS code is added, and the RDF request response structures
added.
- The FPIN els definition is corrected.
- A full definition of a Link Integrity Notification descriptor is added,

When CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST=y, exported headers are compile-tested to make
sure they can be included from user-space.
Currently, scsi_bsg_fc.h, scsi_netlink.h, and scsi_netlink_fc.h are
excluded from the test coverage. To make them join the compile-test, we
need to fix the build errors attached below.
For a case like this, we decided to use __u{8,16,32,64} variable types in
this discussion:

We get a warning from 'make headers_check' about a newly introduced usage
of integer types in the scsi/scsi_bsg_ufs.h uapi header:
usr/include/scsi/scsi_bsg_ufs.h:18: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>
Aside from the missing linux/types.h inclusion, I also noticed that it
uses the wrong types: 'u32' is not available at all in user space, and
'uint32_t' depends on the inclusion of a standard header that we should
not include from kernel headers.
Change the all to __u32 and similar types here.
I also note the usage of '__be32' and '__be16' that seems unfortunate for
a user space API. I wonder if it would be better to define the interface
in terms of a CPU-endian structure and convert it in kernel space.

For now, just provide an API to allocate and remove ufs-bsg node. We
will use this framework to manage ufs devices by sending UPIU
transactions.
For the time being, implements an empty bsg_request() - will add some
more functionality in coming patches.
Nonetheless, we reveal here the protocol we are planning to use: UFS
Transport Protocol Transactions. UFS transactions consist of packets
called UFS Protocol Information Units (UPIU).
There are UPIU’s defined for UFS SCSI commands, responses, data in and
data out, task management, utility functions, vendor functions,
transaction synchronization and control, and more.
By using UPIUs, we get access to the most fine-grained internals of this
protocol, and able to communicate with the device in ways, that are
sometimes beyond the capacity of the ufs driver.
Moreover and as a result, our core structure - ufs_bsg_node has a pretty
lean structure: using upiu transactions that contains the outmost
detailed info, so we don't really need complex constructs to support it.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

The SISLite specification outlines a new queuing model to improve
over the MMIO-based IOARRIN model that exists today. This new model
uses a submission queue that exists in host memory and is shared with
the device. Each entry in the queue is an IOARCB that describes a
transfer request. When requests are submitted, IOARCBs ('current'
position tracked in host software) are populated and the submission
queue tail pointer is then updated via MMIO to make the device aware
of the requests.

Caching the adapter file descriptor and performing a close on behalf of
an application is a poor design. This is due to the fact that once a
file descriptor in installed, it is free to be altered without the
knowledge of the cxlflash driver. This can lead to inconsistencies
between the application and kernel. Furthermore, the nature of the
former design is more exploitable and thus should be abandoned.
To support applications performing a close on the adapter file that is
associated with a context, a new flag is introduced to the user API to
indicate to applications that they are responsible for the close
following the cleanup (detach) of a context. The documentation is also
updated to reflect this change in behavior.

Applications which use virtual LUN's that are backed by a physical LUN
over both adapter ports may experience an I/O failure in the event of a
link loss (e.g. cable pull).
Virtual LUNs may be accessed through one or both ports of the adapter.
This access is encoded in the translation entries that comprise the
virtual LUN and used by the AFU for load-balancing I/O and handling
failover scenarios. In a link loss scenario, even though the AFU is able
to maintain connectivity to the LUN, it is up to the application to
retry the failed I/O. When applications are unaware of the virtual LUN's
underlying topology, they are unable to make a sound decision of when to
retry an I/O and therefore are forced to make their reaction to a failed
I/O absolute. The result is either a failure to retry I/O or increased
latency for scenarios where a retry is pointless.
To remedy this scenario, provide feedback back to the application on
virtual LUN creation as to which ports the LUN may be accessed. LUN's
spanning both ports are candidates for a retry in a presence of an I/O
failure.

Add support for physical LUN segmentation (virtual LUNs) to device
driver supporting the IBM CXL Flash adapter. This patch allows user
space applications to virtually segment a physical LUN into N virtual
LUNs, taking advantage of the translation features provided by this
adapter.

Add superpipe supporting infrastructure to device driver for the IBM CXL
Flash adapter. This patch allows userspace applications to take advantage
of the accelerated I/O features that this adapter provides and bypass the
traditional filesystem stack.
