2009-07-30[SCSI] zfcp: Fix tracing of request id for abort requestsChristof Schmitt
The trace record for SCSI abort requests has a field for the request id of the request to be aborted. Put the real request id instead of zero.

2009-07-30[SCSI] zfcp: Fix wka port processingSwen Schillig
Under certain conditions it is possible that a WKA port ist not opened within the expected timeframe of half a second. In this situation the WKA port remains in the state OPENING preventing any succeding request to open the port. This led to unrecoverable remote ports. Fixing this by always setting an appropriate WKA port status before leaving the function and removing the timeout value here since it's not needed here because the general timeout processing would deal with it if required.

2009-07-30[SCSI] zfcp: Recover from stalled outbound queueChristof Schmitt
Depending on interruptions on some storage systems, the complete channel can stall which looks like an outbound queue stall to Linux. When trying to acquire a free SBAL for a non-SCSI command, zfcp waits for 5 seconds for a free slot to appear. This is the right place to detect a queue stall: If the wait times out, we assume a stalled queue and try to recover this. The overall strategy should be to trigger the erp from specific events, and not try an overall escalation from one failed port to a full-blown queue recovery. If we manage to send a command, the status codes for this command or a timeout will trigger the right follow-on actions.

2009-07-30[SCSI] zfcp: Fix erp escalation procedureChristof Schmitt
If an action fails, retry it until the erp count exceeds the threshold. If there is something fundamentally wrong, the FSF layer will trigger a more appropriate action depending on the FSF status codes. The followup for successful actions is a different followup than retrying failed actions, so split the code two functions to make this clear.

2009-07-30[SCSI] zfcp: Use unchained mode for small ct and els requestsChristof Schmitt
The ELS ADISC and the GID_PN requests sent from zfcp fit into unchained FSF requests. Change the FSF allocation logic to use unchained requests whenever possible where everything fits in one SBAL. This avoids acquiring more SBALs than necessary, especially during zfcp recovery when things might be stalled.

2009-07-16[SCSI] libsas: reuse the original port when hotplugging phys in wide portsTom Peng
There's a hotplug problem in the way libsas allocates ports: it loops over the available ports first trying to add to an existing for a wide port and otherwise allocating the next free port. This scheme only works if the port array is packed from zero, which fails if a port gets hot unplugged and the array becomes sparse. In that case, a new port is formed even if there's a wide port it should be part of. Fix this by creating two loops over all the ports: the first to see if the phy should be part of a wide port and the second to form a new port in an empty port slot.

The function jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in) too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data to be written into the journal.
