FIP VLAN discovery discovers the FCoE VLAN that will be used by all other FIP
protocols as well as by the FCoE encapsulation for Fibre Channel payloads on
the established virtual link. One of the goals of FC-BB-5 was to be as
nonintrusive as possible on initiators and targets, and therefore FIP VLAN
discovery occurs in the native VLAN used by the initiator or target to
exchange Ethernet traffic. The FIP VLAN discovery protocol is the only FIP
protocol running on the native VLAN; all other FIP protocols run on the
discovered FCoE VLANs.
If an administrator has manually configured FCoE VLANs on ENodes and FCFs,
there is no need to use this protocol. FIP and FCoE will run over the
configured VLANs.
An ENode without FCoE VLANs configuration would use this automated discovery
protocol to discover over which VLANs FCoE is running.
The ENode sends a FIP VLAN discovery request to a multicast MAC address called
All-FCF-MACs, which is a multicast MAC address to which all FCFs listen.
All FCFs that can be reached in the native VLAN of the ENode are expected to
respond on the same VLAN with a response that lists one or more FCoE VLANs
that are available for the ENode's VN_Port login. This protocol has the sole
purpose of allowing the ENode to discover all the available FCoE VLANs.
Now the ENode may enable a subset of these VLANs for FCoE Running the FIP
protocol in these VLANs on a per VLAN basis. And FCoE data transactions also
would occur on this VLAN. Hence, Except for FIP VLAN discovery, all other FIP
and FCoE traffic runs on the selected FCoE VLAN. Its only the FIP VLAN
Discovery protocol that is permitted to run on the Default native VLAN of the
system.
[**** NOTE ****]
We are working on moving this feature definitions and functionality to libfcoe
module. We need this patch to be approved, as Suse is looking forward to merge
this feature in SLES 11 SP3 release. Once this patch is approved, we will
submit patch which should move vlan discovery feature to libfoce.

Fnic Trace utility is a tracing functionality built directly into fnic driver
to trace events. The benefit that trace buffer brings to fnic driver is the
ability to see what it happening inside the fnic driver. It also provides the
capability to trace every IO event inside fnic driver to debug panics, hangs
and potentially IO corruption issues. This feature makes it easy to find
problems in fnic driver and it also helps in tracking down strange bugs in a
more manageable way. Trace buffer is shared across all fnic instances for
this implementation.

The issue was observed when LUN Reset is issued through IOCTL or sg_reset
utility.
fnic driver issues LUN RESET to firmware. On successful completion of device
reset, driver cleans up all the pending IOs that were issued prior to device
reset. These pending IOs are expected to be in ABTS_PENDING state. This works
fine, when the device reset operation resulted from midlayer, but not when
device reset was triggered from IOCTL path as the pending IOs were not in
ABTS_PENDING state. execution path hits panic if the pending IO is not in
ABTS_PENDING state.
Changes:
The fix replaces BUG_ON check in fnic_clean_pending_aborts() with marking
pending IOs as ABTS_PENDING if they were not in ABTS_PENDING state and skips
if they were already in ABTS_PENDING state. An extra check is added to validate
the abort status of the commands after a delay of 2 * E_D_TOV using a
helper function. The helper function returns 1 if it finds any pending IO in
ABTS_PENDING state, belong to the LUN on which device reset was issued else 0.
With this, device reset operation returns success only if the helper funciton
returns 0, otherwise it returns failure.
Other changes:
- Removed code in fnic_clean_pending_aborts() that returns failure if it finds
io_req NULL, instead of returning failure added code to continue with next io
- Added device reset flags for debugging in fnic_terminate_rport_io,
fnic_rport_exch_reset, and fnic_clean_pending_aborts

1. Handling overlapped firmware resets
This fix serialize multiple firmware resets to avoid situation where fnic
device fails to come up for link up event, when firmware resets are issued
back to back. If there are overlapped firmware resets are issued,
the firmware reset operation checks whether there is any firmware reset in
progress, if so it polls for its completion in a loop with 100ms delay.
2. Handling device reset timeout
fnic_device_reset code has been modified to handle Device reset timeout:
- Issue terminate on device reset timeout.
- Introduced flags field (one of the scratch fields in scsi_cmnd).
With this, device reset request would have DEVICE_RESET flag set for other
routines to determine the type of the request.
Also modified fnic_terminate_rport_io, fnic_rport_exch_rset, completion
routines to handle SCSI commands with DEVICE_RESET flag.
3. LUN/Device Reset hangs when issued through IOCTL using utilities like
sg_reset.
Each SCSI command is associated with a valid tag, fnic uses this tag to
retrieve associated scsi command on completion. the LUN/Device Reset issued
through IOCTL resulting into a SCSI command that is not associated with a
valid tag. So fnic fails to retrieve associated scsi command on completion,
which causes hang. This fix allocates tag, associates it with the
scsi command and frees the tag, when the operation completed.
4. Preventing IOs during firmware reset.
Current fnic implementation allows IO submissions during firmware reset.
This fix synchronizes IO submissions and firmware reset operations.
It ensures that IOs issued to fnic prior to reset will be issued to the
firmware before firmware reset.

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

No reason to restrict CDB size to 12 bytes in fcoe, so
increased to 16 so that 16 bytes SCSI CDB doesn't fail.
Uses common define to set max_cmd_len for fcoe and fnic,
fnic is already setting max_cmd_len to 16.

Use libfcoe as a common FIP implementation with fcoe.
FIP or non-FIP mode is fully automatic if the firmware
supports and enables it.
Even if FIP is not supported, this uses libfcoe for the non-FIP
handling of FLOGI and its response.
Use the new lport_set_port_id() notification to capture
successful FLOGI responses and port_id resets.
While transitioning between Ethernet and FC mode, all rx and
tx FC frames are queued. In Ethernet mode, all frames are
passed to the exchange manager to capture FLOGI responses.
Change to set data_src_addr to the ctl_src_addr whenever it
would have previously been zero because we're not logged in.
This seems safer so we'll never send a frame with a 0 source MAC.
This also eliminates a special case for sending FLOGI frames.
