    scsi: zfcp: fix misleading REC trigger trace where erp_action setup failed · 9ffe2bc9

    commit 512857a7 upstream.
    
    If a SCSI device is deleted during scsi_eh host reset, we cannot get a
    reference to the SCSI device anymore since scsi_device_get returns !=0 by
    design. Assuming the recovery of adapter and port(s) was successful,
    zfcp_erp_strategy_followup_success() attempts to trigger a LUN reset for the
    half-gone SCSI device. Unfortunately, it causes the following confusing
    trace record which states that zfcp will do a LUN recovery as "ERP need" is
    ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_LUN == 1 and equals "ERP want".
    
    Old example trace record formatted with zfcpdbf from s390-tools:
    
    Tag:           : ersfs_3 ERP, trigger, unit reopen, port reopen succeeded
    LUN            : 0x<FCP_LUN>
    WWPN           : 0x<WWPN>
    D_ID           : 0x<N_Port-ID>
    Adapter status : 0x5400050b
    Port status    : 0x54000001
    LUN status     : 0x40000000     ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_RUNNING
                                    but not ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_UNBLOCKED as it
                                    was closed on close part of adapter reopen
    ERP want       : 0x01
    ERP need       : 0x01           misleading
    
    However, zfcp_erp_setup_act() returns NULL as it cannot get the reference.
    Hence, zfcp_erp_action_enqueue() takes an early goto out and _NO_ recovery
    actually happens.
    
    We always do want the recovery trigger trace record even if no erp_action
    could be enqueued as in this case. For other cases where we did not enqueue
    an erp_action, 'need' has always been zero to indicate this. In order to
    indicate above goto out, introduce an eyecatcher "flag" to mark the "ERP
    need" as 'not needed' but still keep the information which erp_action type,
    that zfcp_erp_required_act() had decided upon, is needed.  0xc_ is chosen to
    be visibly different from 0x0_ in "ERP want".
    
    New example trace record formatted with zfcpdbf from s390-tools:
    
    Tag:           : ersfs_3 ERP, trigger, unit reopen, port reopen succeeded
    LUN            : 0x<FCP_LUN>
    WWPN           : 0x<WWPN>
    D_ID           : 0x<N_Port-ID>
    Adapter status : 0x5400050b
    Port status    : 0x54000001
    LUN status     : 0x40000000
    ERP want       : 0x01
    ERP need       : 0xc1           would need LUN ERP, but no action set up
                       ^
    
    Before v2.6.38 commit ae0904f6 ("[SCSI] zfcp: Redesign of the debug
    tracing for recovery actions.") we could detect this case because the
    "erp_action" field in the trace was NULL. The rework removed erp_action as
    argument and field from the trace.
    
    This patch here is for tracing. A fix to allow LUN recovery in the case at
    hand is a topic for a separate patch.
    
    See also commit fdbd1c5e ("[SCSI] zfcp: Allow running unit/LUN shutdown
    without acquiring reference") for a similar case and background info.
