After a Fatal Error has been reported by a device and has been recovered
through a Secondary Bus Reset, AER updates the device's error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal before invoking its driver's ->resume() callback.
By contrast, EEH updates the error_state earlier, namely after resetting
the device and before invoking its driver's ->slot_reset() callback.
Commit c58dc575f3c8 ("powerpc/pseries: Set error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal in eeh_report_reset()") explains in great detail
that the earlier invocation is necessitated by various drivers checking
accessibility of the device with pci_channel_offline() and avoiding
accesses if it returns true. It returns true for any other error_state
than pci_channel_io_normal.
The device should be accessible already after reset, hence the reasoning
is that it's safe to update the error_state immediately afterwards.
This deviation between AER and EEH seems problematic because drivers
behave differently depending on which error recovery mechanism the
platform uses. Three drivers have gone so far as to update the
error_state themselves, presumably to work around AER's behavior.
For consistency, amend AER to update the error_state at the same recovery
steps as EEH. Drop the now unnecessary workaround from the three drivers.
Keep updating the error_state before ->resume() in case ->error_detected()
or ->mmio_enabled() return PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED, which causes
->slot_reset() to be skipped. There are drivers doing this even for Fatal
Errors, e.g. mhi_pci_error_detected().

[commit 45bc82563d55 upstream]
Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Instructions for building and installing SCST are available in the INSTALL.md file.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.
The default driver is located in qla2x00t-32gbit directory and it supports up to 32 Gb/s FC. It is the newer one.
May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to
16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the
older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
