James Smart e8869f5b0a scsi: lpfc: Fix mailbox hang on adapter init
The adapter initialization sequence enables interrupts, initializes the
adapter link_state to LINK_DOWN, then issues commands to initialize the
adapter. The interrupt handler on the adapter validates the link_state (has
to be at least LINK_DOWN) and if invalid, will discard the interrupting
event.

In most cases, there is not a command completion, thus an interrupt until
the initialization commands have been sent which is post the setting of
state to LINK_DOWN.  However, in cases of firmware reset, the reset will
modify the link_state to an invalid value (indicating a reset of the
adapter) and there occasionally are cases where the adapter will generate
an asynchronous event which shares the eq/cq used for mailbox commands. In
the failure case, an interrupt is generated immediately after enabling them
due to the async event.  As link_state is invalid, the eq is list and the
CQ not serviced.  At this point link_state is initialized and the mailbox
command sent.  As the CQ has not been serviced, it is not armed, so no
interrupt event is generated when the mailbox command completes.

Modify the initialization sequence so that interrupts are enabled after
link_state is properly initialized, which avoids the race condition with
the async event.

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.
