Li Dongyang 65722e7308 scsi: ses: don't ask for diagnostic pages repeatedly during probe
[ Upstream commit 9c0a50022b ]

We are testing if there is a match with the ses device in a loop by
calling ses_match_to_enclosure(), which will issue scsi receive
diagnostics commands to the ses device for every device on the same
host.  On one of our boxes with 840 disks, it takes a long time to load
the driver:

[root@g1b-oss06 ~]# time modprobe ses

real	40m48.247s
user	0m0.001s
sys	0m0.196s

With the patch:

[root@g1b-oss06 ~]# time modprobe ses

real	0m17.915s
user	0m0.008s
sys	0m0.053s

Note that we still need to refresh page 10 when we see a new disk to
create the link.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
