Correct a SOP READ and WRITE DMA flags for some requests.
This update corrects DMA direction issues with SCSI commands removed from
the controller's internal lookup table.
Currently, SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS (0x5) was removed from the controller
lookup table and exposed a DMA direction flag issue.
SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS was recently removed from our controller lookup
table so the controller uses the respective IU flag field to set the DMA
data direction. Since the DMA direction is incorrect the FW never completes
the request causing a hang.
Some SCSI commands which use SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS
* sg_map
* mt -f /dev/stX status
After updating controller firmware, users may notice their tape units
failing. This patch resolves the issue.
Also, the AIO path DMA direction is correct.
The DMA direction flag is a day-one bug with no reported BZ.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
