2009-03-06[SCSI] libfc: rport retry on LS_RJT from certain ELSChris Leech
This allows any rport ELS to retry on LS_RJT. The rport error handling would only retry on resource allocation failures and exchange timeouts. I have a target that will occasionally reject PLOGI when we do a quick LOGO/PLOGI. When a critical ELS was rejected, libfc would fail silently leaving the rport in a dead state. The retry count and delay are managed by fc_rport_error_retry. If the retry count is exceeded fc_rport_error will be called. When retrying is not the correct course of action, fc_rport_error can be called directly.

2009-03-06[SCSI] libfc: when rport goes away (re-plogi), clean up exchanges to/from rportAbhijeet Joglekar
When a rport goes away, libFC does a plogi which will reset exchanges at the rport. Clean exchanges at our end, both in transport and libFC. If transport hooks into exch_mgr_reset, it will call back into fc_exch_mgr_reset() to clean up libFC exchanges.

2009-03-06[SCSI] libfc: Pass lport in exch_mgr_resetAbhijeet Joglekar
fc_exch_mgr structure is private to fc_exch.c. To export exch_mgr_reset to transport, transport needs access to the exch manager. Change exch_mgr_reset to use lport param which is the shared structure between libFC and transport. Alternatively, fc_exch_mgr definition can be moved to libfc.h so that lport can be accessed from mp*.

2008-12-29[SCSI] libfc: A modular Fibre Channel libraryRobert Love
libFC is composed of 4 blocks supported by an exchange manager and a framing library. The upper 4 layers are fc_lport, fc_disc, fc_rport and fc_fcp. A LLD that uses libfc could choose to either use libfc's block, or using the transport template defined in libfc.h, override one or more blocks with its own implementation. The EM (Exchange Manager) manages exhcanges/sequences for all commands- ELS, CT and FCP. The framing library frames ELS and CT commands. The fc_lport block manages the library's representation of the host's FC enabled ports. The fc_disc block manages discovery of targets as well as handling changes that occur in the FC fabric (via. RSCN events). The fc_rport block manages the library's representation of other entities in the FC fabric. Currently the library uses this block for targets, its peer when in point-to-point mode and the directory server, but can be extended for other entities if needed. The fc_fcp block interacts with the scsi-ml and handles all I/O.
