[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wakeup while suspended
If the mapping of FCP device bus ID and corresponding subchannel is modified while the Linux image is suspended, the resume of FCP devices can fail. During resume, zfcp gets callbacks from cio regarding the modified subchannels but they can be arbitrarily mixed with the restore/resume callback. Since the cio callbacks would trigger adapter recovery, zfcp could wakeup before the resume callback. Therefore, ignore the cio callbacks regarding subchannels while being suspended. We can safely do so, since zfcp does not deal itself with subchannels. For problem determination purposes, we still trace the ignored callback events. The following kernel messages could be seen on resume: kernel: <WWPN>: parent <FCP device bus ID> should not be sleeping As part of adapter reopen recovery, zfcp performs auto port scanning which can erroneously try to register new remote ports with scsi_transport_fc and the device core code complains about the parent (adapter) still sleeping. kernel: zfcp.3dff9c: <FCP device bus ID>:\ Setting up the QDIO connection to the FCP adapter failed <last kernel message repeated 3 more times> kernel: zfcp.574d43: <FCP device bus ID>:\ ERP cannot recover an error on the FCP device In such cases, the adapter gave up recovery and remained blocked along with its child objects: remote ports and LUNs/scsi devices. Even the adapter shutdown as part of giving up recovery failed because the ccw device state remained disconnected. Later, the corresponding remote ports ran into dev_loss_tmo. As a result, the LUNs were erroneously not available again after resume. Even a manually triggered adapter recovery (e.g. sysfs attribute failed, or device offline/online via sysfs) could not recover the adapter due to the remaining disconnected state of the corresponding ccw device.
