[SCSI] fc class: unblock target after calling terminate callback (take 2)
When we block a rport and the driver implements the terminate callback we will fail IO that was running quickly. However IO that was in the scsi_device/block queue sits there until the dev_loss_tmo fires, and this can make it look like IO is lost because new IO will get executed but that IO stuck in the blocked queue sits there for some time longer. With this patch when the fast io fail tmo fires, we will fail the blocked IO and any new IO. This patch also allows all drivers to partially support the fast io fail tmo. If the terminate io callback is not implemented, we will still fail blocked IO and any new IO, so multipath can handle that. This patch also allows the fc and iscsi classes to implement the same behavior. The timers are just unfornately named differently. This patch also fixes the problem where drivers were unblocking the target in their terminate callback, which was needed for rport removal, but for fast io fail timeout it would cause IO to bounce arround the scsi/block layer and the LLD queuecommand. And it for drivers that could have IO stuck but did not have a terminate callback the unblock calls in the class will fix them. v2. - fix up bit setting style to meet JamesS's pref. - Broke out new host byte error changes to make it easier to read. - added JamesS's ack from list. v1 - initial patch Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Acked-by: James Smart <James.Smart@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
