If the mapping of FCP device bus ID and corresponding subchannel
is modified while the Linux image is suspended, the resume of FCP
devices can fail. During resume, zfcp gets callbacks from cio regarding
the modified subchannels but they can be arbitrarily mixed with the
restore/resume callback. Since the cio callbacks would trigger
adapter recovery, zfcp could wakeup before the resume callback.
Therefore, ignore the cio callbacks regarding subchannels while
being suspended. We can safely do so, since zfcp does not deal itself
with subchannels. For problem determination purposes, we still trace the
ignored callback events.
The following kernel messages could be seen on resume:
kernel: <WWPN>: parent <FCP device bus ID> should not be sleeping
As part of adapter reopen recovery, zfcp performs auto port scanning
which can erroneously try to register new remote ports with
scsi_transport_fc and the device core code complains about the parent
(adapter) still sleeping.
kernel: zfcp.3dff9c: <FCP device bus ID>:\
Setting up the QDIO connection to the FCP adapter failed
<last kernel message repeated 3 more times>
kernel: zfcp.574d43: <FCP device bus ID>:\
ERP cannot recover an error on the FCP device
In such cases, the adapter gave up recovery and remained blocked along
with its child objects: remote ports and LUNs/scsi devices. Even the
adapter shutdown as part of giving up recovery failed because the ccw
device state remained disconnected. Later, the corresponding remote
ports ran into dev_loss_tmo. As a result, the LUNs were erroneously
not available again after resume.
Even a manually triggered adapter recovery (e.g. sysfs attribute
failed, or device offline/online via sysfs) could not recover the
adapter due to the remaining disconnected state of the corresponding
ccw device.
