rsxx: Disallow discards from being unmapped.
This patch fixes a bug in which discards were always calling pci_unmap_page. Discards should never call the pci_unmap_page function call because they are never mapped. This caused a race condition on PowerPC systems when issuing discards, writes, and reads all at the same time. The pci_map_page function would eventually map logical address 0 for a read or write. Discards are always assigned a DMA address of 0 because they are never mapped. So if pci_map_page mapped address 0 for a DMA and a discard was "unmapped" then the address would be freed and would cause an EEH event to occur when Hardware accesses the address. This was injected/uncovered in commit: b347f9cf0bc8d42ee95ba1d3837fd93045ab336b The pci_dma_mapping_error function declares -1 a DMA_ERROR not 0 like initially thought So before we would never unmap discards because they were considered NULL. This patch should fall on top of commit id: fc1967bb08a6184ed44ef990e1dd4389901b809c Also, the driver version is being up dated.
