Hi Hannes,
In past, megaraid_sas driver was link list based for MPT and MFI frame and
very unrealistic error handling was added to prevent or delay some bug.
Ideally req_desc is tied with the message frame, so if message frame is
available there must be a corresponding req_desc available as well.
Now megaraid_sas driver gets tags from block layer and also it has already
reserved certain tags for internal use.
We are not allowing any failure to receive fusion command for internal
processing (termed as DCMD in megaraid).

Driver reserve few commands as below and expect command for internal
operation should be always available.
        instance->max_scsi_cmds = instance->max_fw_cmds -
                (MEGASAS_FUSION_INTERNAL_CMDS +
                MEGASAS_FUSION_IOCTL_CMDS);

In case of error handling,  since there is a check for return of
megasas_get_cmd() we don't really need req_desc level of check.

    cmd = megasas_get_cmd(instance);

    if (!cmd) {
        printk(KERN_DEBUG "megasas (%s): Failed to get cmd\n",
               __FUNCTION__);
        return -ENOMEM;
    }

Sure, I will resend two separate patches for this.
But I am not sure if sending only affected patch is good enough or
complete series.
I will figure out if sending an update on this single patch works.

Martin -
Are you OK if I re-send only above impacted patch or like to see complete
series with v2 tag and updated patch numbers?

Thanks,
Shivasharan
