[patch 01/11] zfcp: receiving an unsolicted status can lead to I/O stall

[Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: zfcp_status_read_locking_race.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6672 bytes --]

From: Swen Schillig <swen@vnet.ibm.com>

Processing of an unsolicted status request can lead to a locking race
of the request_queue's queue_lock during the recreation of the 
used up status read request while still in interrupt context 
of the response handler.

Detaching the 'refill' of the long running status read requests from
the handler to a scheduled work is solving this issue.

In addition, each refill-run is trying to re-establish the full amount 
of status read requests, which might have failed in earlier runs.
