Steffen Maier 42afc6527d scsi: zfcp: decouple TMFs from scsi_cmnd by using fc_block_rport
Intentionally retrieve the rport by walking SCSI common code objects
rather than zfcp_sdev->port->rport.

The latter is used for pairing the calls to fc_remote_port_add() and
fc_remote_port_delete(). [see v2.6.31 commit 379d6bf657 ("[SCSI] zfcp:
Add port only once to FC transport class")]

zfcp_scsi_rport_register() sets zfcp_port.rport to what
fc_remote_port_add() returned.
zfcp_scsi_rport_block() sets zfcp_port.rport = NULL after having called
fc_remote_port_delete().

Hence, while an rport is blocked (or in any subsequent state due to
scsi_transport_fc timeouts such as fast_io_fail_tmo or dev_loss_tmo),
zfcp_port.rport is NULL and cannot serve as argument to fc_block_rport().

During zfcp recovery, a just recovered zfcp_port can have the UNBLOCKED
status flag, but an async rport unblocking has only started via
zfcp_scsi_schedule_rport_register() in zfcp_erp_try_rport_unblock()
[see v4.10 commit 6f2ce1c6af ("scsi: zfcp: fix rport unblock race with
LUN recovery")] in zfcp_erp_action_cleanup(). Now zfcp_erp_wait() can
return. This would be sufficient to successfully send a TMF.
But the rport can still be blocked and zfcp_port.rport can still be NULL
until zfcp_port.rport_work was scheduled and has actually called
fc_remote_port_add() and assigned its return value to zfcp_port.rport.
We need an unblocked rport for a successful scsi_eh TUR.

Similarly, for a zfcp_port which has just lost its UNBLOCKED status flag,
the return of zfcp_erp_wait() can race with zfcp_port.rport_work queued
by zfcp_scsi_schedule_rport_block(). Therefore we cannot reliably access
zfcp_port.rport. However, we'd like to get fc_rport_block()'s opinion on
when fast_io_fail_tmo triggered. While we might use
flush_work(&port->rport_work) to sync with the work item, we can simply use
the other way to get an rport pointer.

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.
