Fixes a problem seen where sending a PRLI to a target
resulted in it sending a LOGO. This caused the ibmvfc
driver to go back through discovery again, which caused
another PRLI attempt, which caused another LOGO. Fix this
behavior by ignoring LOGO if we haven't even logged into
the target yet.

The virtual I/O server controlling the NPIV adapter associated with
a virtual fibre channel adapter can send a HALT event to the client.
When this occurs, the client can no longer send commands until a RESUME
is received. By adding support for flush on halt, we will get all of
our outstanding commands flushed back before the Virtual I/O server
enters the halt state, eliminating potential command timeouts for
outstanding commands which might occur if we did not support this feature.

This patch adds support for a new command supported by the Virtual I/O
Server, NPIV Logout. The command will abort all outstanding commands
and log out of the fabric. Currently, the only way to do this is
by breaking the CRQ, which can take a fairly long time when lots of
commands are outstanding. The NPIV Logout commands provides a mechanism
to accomplish virtually the same function, but is much faster.

The ibmvfc driver currently logs errors during discovery for several
transient fabric errors, which generally get retried. If retries
do not work, we see multiple errors in the log. If retries do work,
we see errors in the log which may be confusing since the retry worked.
This patch enhances the discovery time error logging to only log errors
for command failures during discovery if all allowed retries have been
used up. The existing behavior of logging all failures can be restored
by setting the hosts log_level to a value of 3 or greater.

The ibmvfc driver currently breaks the CRQ and essentially
resets the entire virtual FC adapter, killing all outstanding
ops to all attached targets, if an ADISC times out during target
discover/rediscovery. This patch adds some code to cancel the
ADISC if it times out, which prevents a single ADISC timeout from
affecting the other devices attached to the fabric.

This patch fixes a problem of possible dropped interrupts. Currently,
the ibmvfc driver has a race condition where after ibmvfc_interrupt
gets run, the platform code clears the interrupt. This can result in
lost interrupts and, in worst case scenarios, result in command
timeouts. Fix this by implementing a tasklet similar to what the
ibmvscsi driver does so that interrupt processing is no longer done in
the actual interrupt handler, which eliminates the race.

During cancel testing it has been shown that 15 seconds is not
nearly long enough for the VIOS to respond to a cancel under
loaded situations. Increasing this timeout to 60 seconds allows
time for the VIOS to cancel the outstanding commands and prevents
us from escalating to a full host reset, which can take much longer.

While doing various error injection testing, such as cable
pulls and target moves, some issues were observed in handling
these events. This patch improves the way these events are handled
by increasing the delay waiting for the fabric to settle and also
changes the behavior of Link Up to break the CRQ to ensure everything
gets cleaned up properly on the VIOS.

Adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV login. This fixes
a scenario if the backing fibre channel adapter is getting reset
due to an EEH event, NPIV login will fail. Currently, ibmvfc
retries three times very quickly, resets the CRQ and tries one
more time. If the adapter is getting reset due to EEH, this isn't
enough time. This adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV
login and also increments the number of retries.

The CRQs used by the ibmvfc driver are read and written by both
the client and the server. Therefore, we need to mark them volatile
so that we do not cache their contents when handling an interrupt.
This fixes a problem which can surface as occasional command timeouts.
No commands were actually timing out, but due to accessing cached data
for the CRQ in the interrupt handler, the interrupt was not processing
all command completions as it should.

If the ibmvfc driver is in discovery attempting to log into a target
and it encounters an error, the command may get retried one or more
times, depending on the error received. If the retries are
unsuccessful such that the discovery thread gives up on discovery to
that target, the target ends up in a state where, if SCSI core had
previously known about the device, the host will get unblocked but the
host will not be logged into the target, causing any commands sent to
the target to fail. This patch fixes this so that if this occurs, the
target is deleted such that the normal dev_loss processing can occur
instead.

Due to an ambiguity in the VIOS VFC interface specification,
abort/cancel handling is not done correctly and can result in double
completion of commands. In order to cancel all outstanding commands to
a device, a cancel must be sent, followed by an abort task set. After
the responses are received for these commands, there may still be
commands outstanding, in the process of getting flushed back, in which
case, we need to wait for them. This patch removes the assumption that
if the abort and the cancel both complete successfully that the device
queue has been flushed and waits for all the responses to come back.
