18c6c12759 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Workaround D3 power-management issues.
Early ISP2432 parts have a known hardware issue when coming
out of a D3 hot state.  This issue can result in a hung PCIe
link.  Recent firmwares contain a workaround whereby the
stop-firmware mailbox command prevents the ISP from entering
the D3 hot state.

In order to ensure that the workaround succeeded the driver
must verify that the stop-firmware mailbox command completes
successfully.  In the event of a failure, the driver
attempts a shutdown-retry after resetting the ISP and
re-executing firmware.

d7a297baa6 [PATCH] fix qla{2,4} build error
commit 0181944fe6 adds a
'extended_error_logging' global variable to qla2xxx which is defined by
qla4xxx too.

Trying to build both drivers results in the following error:

  LD      drivers/scsi/built-in.o
  drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/built-in.o: In function `qla4xxx_slave_configure':
  drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_os.c:1433: multiple definition of `extended_error_logging'

  first defined here
  make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/built-in.o] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2

The following patch simply adds a qla2_ (qla4_ respectively) prefix to
the variable name.

d8b4521349 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Add iIDMA support.
iIDMA (Intelligent Interleaved Direct Memory Access) allows for
the HBA hardware to send FC frames at the rate at which they can
be received by a target device.  By taking advantage of the
higher link rate, the HBA can maximize bandwidth utilization in a
heterogeneous multi-speed SAN.

Within a fabric topology, port speed detection is done via a Name
Server command (GFPN_ID) followed by a Fabric Management command
(GPSC).  In an FCAL/N2N topology, port speed is based on the HBA
link-rate.

9c06938aa4 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct PLOGI retry logic.
Original code attempts to retry PLOGIs to fcports that are
FCP_TARGETs only.  If the driver never performed a successful
PLOGI/PRLI, the port-type would never be assigned, and the
relogin logic would silently drop the request (and thus the port
would not be recognized and registered).

The fix is relatively straightforward, drop the FCP_TARGET-only
check.

b0328beed0 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Fix to allow to reset devices using sg interface (sg_reset).
Currently it is impossible to reset provided by Qlogic QLA2xxx driver
SCSI devices externally using corresponding sg devices, particularly via
sg_reset utility, because qla2xxx driver in qla2xxx_eh_device_reset()
function checks if the input scsi_cmnd has its private data (CMD_SP())
attached. Then the found pointer isn't used anywhere inside of
qla2xxx_eh_device_reset(). If the RESET request comes from sg device, it
doesn't have such private data.

The attached patch removes check for non-NULL CMD_SP() from
qla2xxx_eh_device_reset(), hence allows to reset QLA2xxx's devices using
corresponding sg devices.

AV: change applies to bus/host reset handlers as well.

If qla2x00_probe_one() fails before calling request_irq() but gets to
qla2x00_free_device() then it will mistakenly try to free an irq it didn't

host->irq is set after request_irq() succeeds so let's use that to decide
to free or not.

This was observed and tested when a silly set of circumstances lead to
firmware loading failing on a 2100.

removal of the device to the default workqueue.  If the

obtain visibility (relogin successful, target re-logged into

19a7b4aebf [SCSI] update fc_transport for removal of block/unblock functions
We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the
reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild
them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were
odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be
torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the
rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the
rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport),
or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find
the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver
forgets).

It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly.
When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then
added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the
temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded).
Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making
the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport
handle the block/unblock.

So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock
functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the
fc_remote_port_add/delete functions.  Updates for the lpfc driver are
included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the
contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are
relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does
not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does
not use the block/unblock functions.

One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is
concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical
disappearance.  However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are
not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an
interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and
xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the
rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it
first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always
been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers
already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple
validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched.
To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready()
was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two
routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result
which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also
creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes
are occuring.

Ok, here's a patch to add such a common API for fc transport users.
Relevant LLD changes (lpfc and qla2xxx) also present.
