From: Robert Love Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:18:41 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [SCSI] fcoe: Do not switch context in vport_delete callback X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ccefd23ed2d683ad3c0282280e6e6d0b163ad041;p=linux-beck.git [SCSI] fcoe: Do not switch context in vport_delete callback Currently all port deletion is routed though the FCoE workqueue (fcoe_wq). When fc_remove_host is called on an N_Port (for example, from fcoe_destroy) the vports are queued into a FC Transport workqueue. fc_remove_host flushes that queue and each vport is passed to fcoe's fcoe_vport_destroy, which simply queues the associated fcoe_ports for later deletion. This queue cannot be flushed within the N_Ports destroy path because of circular locking issues. The result is that the NPIV ports are destroyed after the N_Port, which is reverse of how they are created. This quirk causes fcoe to keep references on the fcoe_interface shared by each of these ports (N_Port and NPIV). Changing the ordering such that NPIV ports are destroyed before the N_Port will allow us to remove reference counting on the fcoe_interface instances. This patch simply allows fcoe_vport_destory to destroy NPIV ports without deferring them to a workqueue context. This ensures that when fc_remove_host is called the NPIV ports will be destroyed first before the N_Port and allows reference counting on the fcoe's fcoe_interface to be remove in a later patch.
