    tcm_fc: Invalidation of DDP context for FCoE target in error conditions · 079587b4
    Kiran Patil authored
    Problem: HW DDP context wasn;t invalidated in case of ABORTS, etc...
    This leads to the problem where memory pages which are used for DDP
    as user descriptor could get reused for some other purpose (such as to
    satisfy new memory allocation request either by kernel or user mode threads)
    and since HW DDP context was not invalidated, HW continue to write to
    those pages, hence causing memory corruption.
    
    Fix: Either on incoming ABORTS or due to exchange time out, allowed the
    target to cleanup HW DDP context if it was setup for respective ft_cmd.
    Added new function to perform this cleanup, furthur it can be enhanced
    for other cleanup activity.
    
    Additinal Notes: To avoid calling ddp_done from multiple places, composed
    the functionality in helper function "ft_invl_hw_context" and it is being
    called from multiple places. Cleaned up code in function "ft_recv_write_data"
    w.r.t DDP.
