commit2190168aaeupstream. On excessive bit errors for the FCP channel ingress fibre path, the channel notifies us. Previously, we only emitted a kernel message and a trace record. Since performance can become suboptimal with I/O timeouts due to bit errors, we now stop using an FCP device by default on channel notification so multipath on top can timely failover to other paths. A new module parameter zfcp.ber_stop can be used to get zfcp old behavior. User explanation of new kernel message: * Description: * The FCP channel reported that its bit error threshold has been exceeded. * These errors might result from a problem with the physical components * of the local fibre link into the FCP channel. * The problem might be damage or malfunction of the cable or * cable connection between the FCP channel and * the adjacent fabric switch port or the point-to-point peer. * Find details about the errors in the HBA trace for the FCP device. * The zfcp device driver closed down the FCP device * to limit the performance impact from possible I/O command timeouts. * User action: * Check for problems on the local fibre link, ensure that fibre optics are * clean and functional, and all cables are properly plugged. * After the repair action, you can manually recover the FCP device by * writing "0" into its "failed" sysfs attribute. * If recovery through sysfs is not possible, set the CHPID of the device * offline and back online on the service element.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
