d19044c32b [SCSI] qla2xxx: defer topology discovery to DPC thread during initialization.
Modify intialization semantics:

- perform basic hardware configuration only (as usual)
  - allocate resources
  - load and execute firmware

- defer link (transport) negotiations to the DPC thread
  - again the code in qla2x00_initialize_adapter() to stall probe()
    completion was needed for legacy-style scanning.
  - DPC thread stalls until probe() complete.

- before probe() completes, set DPC flags to perform loop-resync logic
  (similar to what's done during cable-insertion/removal).

Benefits: user does not have to wait 20+ seconds in case the FC cable
is unplugged during driver load, code consolidation (removal of
redundant link negotiation logic during initialize_adaoter()), and
finilly, the driver no longer needs to defer the fc_remote_port_add()
calls to hold off lun-scanning prior to returning from the probe()
function.

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
  make: *** [drivers] 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.

The driver can typically detect port-loss during an
interrupt context (i.e. via interrogation of a status IOCB's
completion status [CS_PORT_LOGGED_OUT].  Due to the calling
requirements of the fc_rport APIs, the driver would defer
removal of the device to the default workqueue.  If the
work-item was preceded by an event which caused the port to
obtain visibility (relogin successful, target re-logged into
the topology), deferred removal could inadvertently drop the
rport.  The code also no longer defers removal via the
default workqueue, instead opting for use of the driver's
own DPC thread.

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.
