Quinn Tran bc78c3f944 scsi: qla2xxx: Unable to act on RSCN for port online
commit c3d98b12eef8db436e32f1a8c5478be57dc15621 upstream.

The device does not come online when the target port is online. There were
multiple RSCNs indicating multiple devices were affected. Driver is in the
process of finishing a fabric scan. A new RSCN (device up) arrived at the
tail end of the last fabric scan. Driver mistakenly thinks the new RSCN is
being taken care of by the previous fabric scan, where this notification is
cleared and not acted on. The laser needs to be blinked again to get the
device to show up.

To prevent driver from accidentally clearing the RSCN notification, each
RSCN is given a generation value.  A fabric scan will scan for that
generation(s).  Any new RSCN arrive after the scan start will have a new
generation value. This will trigger another scan to get latest data. The
RSCN notification flag will be cleared when the scan is associate to that
generation.

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.

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.
