Commit16ae9dd35d("scsi: aacraid: Fix for excessive prints on EEH") introduced checks about the state of device before any PCI operations in the driver. Basically, this prevents it to perform PCI accesses when device is in the process of recover from a PCI error. In PowerPC, such mechanism is called EEH, and the aforementioned commit introduced checks that are based on EEH-specific primitives for that. The potential problems with this approach are three: first, these checks are "locked" to powerpc only - another archs could have error recovery methods too, like AER in Intel. Also, the powerpc primitives perform expensive FW accesses to validate the precise PCI state of a device. Finally, code becomes more complicated and needs ifdef validation based on arch config being set. So, this patch makes use of generic PCI state checks, which are lightweight and non-dependent of arch configs - also, it makes the code cleaner.

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.
