2008-08-18p54u: reset skb's data/tail pointer on requeueChristian Lamparter
(Only important for USB V1 Adaptors) If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function the skb will be reused for new frames... But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs. Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue, or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is in the wrong place (urb->transfer_buffer wasn't updated!) and mac80211 has a hard time to recognize it...

2008-08-18p54: move p54_vdcf_init to the right place.Christian Lamparter
priv->tx_hdr_len is set by the driver _after_ it called p54_init_common. While this isn't much a problem for any PCI or ISL3887 cards/sticks, because they don't need any extra header and therefore tx_hdr_len is zero for them...

2008-08-16[SCSI] ibmvfc: Fixup host state during reinitBrian King
If an ELS is received while the virtual fibre channel adapter is going through its discovery, a flag is set which causes discovery to get re-driven. However, the hosts's state does not get set back to IBMVFC_INITIALIZING and scsi_block_requests does not get called again, which can result in queuecommand ops getting sent during discovery. This should not occur and may cause problems. One example is that we may no longer be logged into the target we send the command to, resulting in a failure which should not have occurred.

2008-08-16[SCSI] qla2xxx: Explicitly tear-down vports during PCI remove_one().Andrew Vasquez
During internal testing, we've seen issues (hangs) with the 'deferred' vport tear-down-processing typically accompanied with the fc_remove_host() call. This is due to the current implementation's back-end vport handling being performed by the physical-HA's DPC thread where premature shutdown could lead to latent vport requests without a processor. This should also address a problem reported by Gal Rosen (http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121731664417358&w=2) where the driver would attempt to awaken a previously torn-down DPC thread from interrupt context by implicitly calling wake_up_process() rather than the driver's qla2xxx_wake_dpc() helper. Rather, than reshuffle the remove_one() device-removal code, during unload, depend on the driver's timer to wake-up the DPC process, by limiting wake-ups based on an 'unloading' flag.

2008-08-16[SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct synchronization of software/firmware fcport states.Andrew Vasquez
Greg Wettstein (greg@enjellic.com) noted: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/43409 on a reboot of a previously recognized SCST target, the initiator driver would be unable to re-recognize the device as a target. It turns out that prior to the SCST software reloading and returning it's "target-capable" abilities in the PRLI payload, the HBA would be re-initialized as an initiator-only type port. Since initiators typically classify themselves as an FCP-2 capable device, both software and firmware do not perform an explicit logout during port-loss. Unfortunately, as can be seen by the failure case, when the port (now target-capable) returns, firmware performs an ADISC without a follow-on PRLI, leaving stale 'initiator-only' data in the firmware's port database. Correct the discrepancy by performing the explicit logout during the transport's request to terminate-rport-io, thus synchronizing port states and ensuring a follow-on PRLI is performed.
