Subject: [PATCH] FC_Transport: Check portstates before invoking target scan

Hi James (& James, too :-),

scsi_transport_fc.c:fc_user_scan() should check the portstates prior to
calling scsi_scan_target(). Otherwise we might get a nice oops as the
rport might already been disconnected from the host by the time we're
calling scsi_scan_target(). Thus the traversal from the rport to the
scsi_host in scsi_scan_target() will fail, resulting in a nice Oops.
Plus it's quite pointless to scan a target if the portstates already
told us that we can't communicate with it.

Please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes

scsi_transport_fc: Check portstates before invoking target scan

When a target scan is initiated from sysfs, we should check the
portstate prior to invoke scsi_scan_target().
Otherwise scsi_scan_target() might oops as the rport might already
been removed from the scsi host and the traversal from the rport to
the scsi_host in scsi_scan_target() will fail.
Also the portstate already told us that communication with the target
has failed, so it's quite pointless to try.
