Common status flags that all main objects - adapter, port, and unit - support are propagated to sub-objects when set or cleared. For instance, when setting the status ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_ERP_INUSE for an adapter object, we will propagate this to all its child ports and units - same for when clearing a common status flag. Units of an adapter object are enumerated via __shost_for_each_device() over the scsi host object of the corresponding adapter. Once we move the scsi host object allocation and registration to after the first exchange config and exchange port data, this won't be possible for cases where we set or clear common statuses during the very first adapter recovery. But since we won't have any port or unit objects yet at that point of time, we can just fence the status propagation for cases where the scsi host object is not yet set in the adapter object. It won't change any effective status propagations, but will prevent us from dereferencing invalid pointers. For any later point in the work flow the scsi host object will be set and thus nothing is changed then.

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.
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.
