James Smart 96418b5e2c scsi: lpfc: Fix eh_deadline setting for sli3 adapters.
A previous change unilaterally removed the hba reset entry point
from the sli3 host template. This was done to allow tape devices
being used for back up from being removed. Why was this done ?
When there was non-responding device on the fabric, the error
escalation policy would escalate to the reset handler. When the
reset handler was called, it would reset the adapter, dropping
link, thus logging out and terminating all i/o's - on any target.
If there was a tape device on the same adapter that wasn't in
error, it would kill the tape i/o's, effectively killing the
tape device state.  With the reset point removed, the adapter
reset avoided the fabric logout, allowing the other devices to
continue to operate unaffected. A hack - yes. Hint: we really
need a transport I_T nexus reset callback added to the eh process
(in between the SCSI target reset and hba reset points), so a
fc logout could occur to the one bad target only and stop the error
escalation process.

This patch commonizes the approach so it can be used for sli3 and sli4
adapters, but mandates the admin, via module parameter, specifically
identify which adapters the resets are to be removed for. Additionally,
bus_reset, which sends Target Reset TMFs to all targets, is also removed
from the template as it too has the same effect as the adapter reset.

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.
