SCSI: qla2xxx: Test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED atomically.
commit
a394aac88506159e047630fc90dc2242568382d8 upstream.
When the qla2xxx driver loses access to multiple, remote ports, there is a race
condition which can occur which will keep the request stuck on a scsi request
queue indefinitely.
This bad state occurred do to a race condition with how the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
bit is set in qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and how it is cleared in
qla2x00_do_dpc(). The problem port has its drport pointer set, but it has never
been processed by the driver to inform the fc transport that the port has been
lost. qla2x00_schedule_rport_del() sets drport, and then sets the
FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit. In qla2x00_do_dpc(), the port lists are walked and
any drport pointer is handled and the fc transport informed of the port loss,
then the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is cleared. This leaves a race where the
dpc thread is processing one port removal, another port removal is marked
with a call to qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and the dpc thread clears the
bit for both removals, even though only the first removal was actually
handled. Until another event occurs to set FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED, the later
port removal is never finished and qla2xxx stays in a bad state which causes
requests to become stuck on request queues.
This patch updates the driver to test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
atomically. This ensures the port state changes are processed and not lost.
