Problem report (against 2.4.x driver) from Jeff Layton
<jlayton@redhat.com>:

An OEM noticed that the U6 qla2200 driver would hang for
around 2 minutes at boot time and then proceed normally. I
found that the delay was occurring when loading the new
firmware into the card, and was due to a
schedule_timeout(10) added to the bottom of the polling
loop.

Some testing showed that the load ram operation on the card
was very quick (on the order of a couple of jiffies), but
the sleep in the polling loop was making each operation take
around 25-30.

The attached patch corrects this by making it skip sleeping
during the load ram operation, since I believe we only do
that when the module is plugged in. It also skips sleeping
if the mbox_int flag got set during the current loop.

This corrected the hang on my test setup, and OEM also
confirmed that it corrected the problem for them.

Transition driver to exclusively use the request_firmware()
interfaces to retrieve firmware-blobs from user-space.  This
will be the default behaviour going forward until the
embedded firmware-binary images are removed from the
upstream kernel.

Upon request, the driver caches the firmware image until the
driver is unloaded.

NOTE: The option is present to allow the user to continue to
use the firmware-loader modules, but, should be considered
deprecated.

A driver must wait 100us before attempting an MMIO operation
to the RISC after a soft-reset has been initiated.  A
similar delay was needed with earlier ISPs.

Note: a PCI config-space read is used to flush the MMIO
write to the ISP, since the ISP's state machines are unable
to respond to any MMIO read during the reset process.

On MMIO relaxed-order platforms, it is possible for the
proper delay during NVRAM access to begin before the request
passes through the PCI bus (via a MMIO write) to the ISP.
Thus, causing a subsequent read to the NVRAM part to fail.
Add a MMIO read, after the MMIO write to insure any posted
writes are flushed.

We recently went back to implement a board reset. When we perform the
reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild
them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were
odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be
torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the
rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the
rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport),
or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find
the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver
forgets).

It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly.
When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then
added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the
temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded).
Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making
the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport
handle the block/unblock.

So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock
functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the
fc_remote_port_add/delete functions.  Updates for the lpfc driver are
included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the
contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are
relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does
not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does
not use the block/unblock functions.

One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is
concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical
disappearance.  However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are
not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an
interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and
xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the
rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it
first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always
been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers
already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple
validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched.
To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready()
was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two
routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result
which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also
creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes
are occuring.

ISP23xx and ISP24xx chips have support for an adaptive
method of posting SCSI command completions for multiple SCSI
commands during a single system interrupt.

SCSI commands are placed on the system response queue
without interrupting the host until 1) a delay timer
expires; or 2) a SCSI command completes with an error.

As long as the host software (qla2xxx) services the response
queue for completions (this polling is done during
queuecommand()) within the 'delay timer' period, the
firmware will not generate system interrupt.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
qla2x00_free_device() to clean up.  But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
yet.  It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
and the kernel hangs up.

Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.
