Gleb Chesnokov 2e4f2dc5dc qla2x00t-32gbit: Enable/disable IRQD_NO_BALANCING during reset
A dynamic remove/add storage adapter test hits EEH on PowerPC:

  EEH: [c00000000004f77c] __eeh_send_failure_event+0x7c/0x160
  EEH: [c000000000048464] eeh_dev_check_failure.part.0+0x254/0x660

  EEH: [c00000000000bfe8] system_call_vectored_common+0xe8/0x278

The irqbalance daemon kicks in before invoking qla2xxx->slot_reset
during the EEH recovery process.

  irqbalance daemon
  ->irq_set_affinity()
  ->msi_domain_set_affinity()
  ->irq_chip_set_affiinity_parent()
  ->xive_irq_set_affinity()
  ->pseries_msi_compose_ms()
  ->__pci_read_msi_msg()
  ->irq_chip_compose_msi_msg()

In __pci_read_msi_msg(), the first MSI-X vector is set to all F by the
irqbalance daemon.  pci_write_msg_msix: index=0, lo=ffffffff hi=fffffff

IRQ balancing is not required during adapter reset.

Enable "IRQ_NO_BALANCING" bit before starting adapter reset and disable
it calling pci_restore_state(). The irqbalance daemon is disabled for
this short period of time (~2s).

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:

  1. The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
  2. A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
  3. Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
  4. User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
  5. 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.
