Subject: [PATCH 09/12] fcoe: Do not switch context in vport_delete callback
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:18:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120211011841.7668.27533.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120211011754.7668.51489.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

Currently all port deletion is routed though the FCoE
workqueue (fcoe_wq). When fc_remove_host is called on
an N_Port (for example, from fcoe_destroy) the vports
are queued into a FC Transport workqueue. fc_remove_host
flushes that queue and each vport is passed to fcoe's
fcoe_vport_destroy, which simply queues the associated
fcoe_ports for later deletion. This queue cannot be
flushed within the N_Ports destroy path because of
circular locking issues. The result is that the NPIV
ports are destroyed after the N_Port, which is reverse
of how they are created.

This quirk causes fcoe to keep references on the
fcoe_interface shared by each of these ports (N_Port
and NPIV). Changing the ordering such that NPIV ports
are destroyed before the N_Port will allow us to remove
reference counting on the fcoe_interface instances.

This patch simply allows fcoe_vport_destory to destroy
NPIV ports without deferring them to a workqueue context.
This ensures that when fc_remove_host is called the
NPIV ports will be destroyed first before the N_Port and
allows reference counting on the fcoe's fcoe_interface
to be remove in a later patch.
