Dick Kennedy 66d7ce93a0 scsi: lpfc: Fix MRQ > 1 context list handling
Various oops including cpu LOCKUPs were seen.

For asynchronously received ius where the driver must assign exchange
resources, the resources were on a single get (free) list and put list
(finished, waiting to be put on get list). As all cpus are sharing the
lists, an interrupt for a receive frame may have to wait for all the
other cpus to place their done work onto the put list before it can
acquire the lock to pull from the list.

Fix by breaking the resource lists into per-cpu lists or at least more
than 1 list with cpu's sharing the lists). A cpu would allocate from the
free list for its own cpu, and put its done work on the its own put list
- avoiding the contention. As cpu load may vary, when empty, a cpu may
grab from another cpu, thereby changing resource distribution.  But
searching for a resource only occurs on 1 or a few cpus until a single
resource can be allocated. if the condition reoccurs, it starts looking
at a different cpu.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
