1. Set LIO_SC_MAX_TMO_MS as the maximum timeout value for a soft command (sc). All sc's use this value as a hard timeout value. Add expiry_time in struct octeon_soft_command to keep the hard timeout value. The field wait_time and timeout in struct octeon_soft_command will be obsoleted in the last patch of this patch series. 2. Add processing a synchronous sc in sc response thread lio_process_ordered_list. The memory allocated for a synchronous sc will be freed by lio_process_ordered_list() to the sc pool. 3. Add two response lists for lio_process_ordered_list to process the storage allocated for sc's: OCTEON_DONE_SC_LIST response list keeps all sc's which will be freed to the pool after their requestors have finished processing the responses. OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list keeps all sc's which have got LIO_SC_MAX_TMO_MS timeout. When an sc gets a hard timeout, lio_process_order_list() will recheck its status 1 ms later. If the status has not updated by the firmware at that time, the sc will be removed from OCTEON_DONE_SC_LIST response list to OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list. The sc's in the OCTEON_ZOMBIE_SC_LIST response list will be freed when the driver is unloaded.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
