Subject: [PATCH 1/5] scsi: elx: efct: check the HW state before allocating an HIO
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 19:23:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806192345.328621-2-ali@iusegentoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806192345.328621-1-ali@iusegentoo.com>
efct_els_hw_srrs_send() takes an HIO from the pool and only then looks at
hw->state, returning without giving it back when the HW is not active:
hio = efct_hw_io_alloc(hw);
if (!hio) {
pr_err("HIO alloc failed\n");
return -EIO;
}
if (hw->state != EFCT_HW_STATE_ACTIVE) {
efc_log_debug(hw->os,
"cannot send SRRS, HW state=%d\n", hw->state);
return -EIO;
}
_efct_hw_io_alloc() moves the entry from hw->io_free to hw->io_inuse and
initialises its reference, and the only thing that puts it back is the
completion of a submitted WQE. Nothing is submitted here, so the entry
stays on hw->io_inuse for the lifetime of the adapter. The memory is
reclaimed in efct_hw_teardown(), which frees hw->io[] as a whole, but the
pool loses one usable entry for every ELS or CT send that takes this
path. Once it is empty efct_hw_io_alloc() starts failing and no further
ELS or CT traffic can be sent.
Check the state first, the way efct_hw_bls_send() already does.
Fixes: dd53d333aadb ("scsi: elx: efct: Hardware I/O submission routines")
