As promised in a previous thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=113321277408600&w=2
The midlayer today allows for calls to the eh handlers via sg to occur
while i/o continues to be sent to the drive run abated.
This patch ensures that i/o is stopped while an eh handler is being
processed. It adds a new flag, set by the async reset callers, which
augments the host-in-reset checks and stops i/o. The async reset
callers are already synchronized to hold off until the error thread is
no longer running.
There are 2 parts to this patch:
- the patch to the midlayer to stop i/o while resetting
- a patch to the lpfc driver which removes the barrier the driver
had implemented in the past.
