scsi: zfcp: reduce flood of fcrscn1 trace records on multi-element RSCN
If an incoming ELS of type RSCN contains more than one element, zfcp suboptimally causes repeated erp trigger NOP trace records for each previously failed port. These could be ports that went away. It loops over each RSCN element, and for each of those in an inner loop over all zfcp_ports. The trigger to recover failed ports should be just the reception of some RSCN, no matter how many elements it has. So we can loop over failed ports separately, and only then loop over each RSCN element to handle the non-failed ports. The call chain was: zfcp_fc_incoming_rscn for (i = 1; i < no_entries; i++) _zfcp_fc_incoming_rscn list_for_each_entry(port, &adapter->port_list, list) if (masked port->d_id match) zfcp_fc_test_link if (!port->d_id) zfcp_erp_port_reopen "fcrscn1" <=== In order the reduce the "flooding" of the REC trace area in such cases, we factor out handling the failed ports to be outside of the entries loop: zfcp_fc_incoming_rscn if (no_entries > 1) <=== list_for_each_entry(port, &adapter->port_list, list) <=== if (!port->d_id) zfcp_erp_port_reopen "fcrscn1" <=== for (i = 1; i < no_entries; i++) _zfcp_fc_incoming_rscn list_for_each_entry(port, &adapter->port_list, list) if (masked port->d_id match) zfcp_fc_test_link Abbreviated example trace records before this code change: Tag : fcrscn1 WWPN : 0x500507630310d327 ERP want : 0x02 ERP need : 0x02 Tag : fcrscn1 WWPN : 0x500507630310d327 ERP want : 0x02 ERP need : 0x00 NOP => superfluous trace record The last trace entry repeats if there are more than 2 RSCN elements.
