scsi: zfcp: Move allocation of the shost object to after xconf- and xport-data
At the moment we allocate and register the Scsi_Host object corresponding to a zfcp adapter (FCP device) very early in the life cycle of the adapter - even before we fully discover and initialize the underlying firmware/hardware. This had the advantage that we could already use the Scsi_Host object, and fill in all its information during said discover and initialize. Due to commit 737eb78e ("block: Delay default elevator initialization") (first released in v5.4), we noticed a regression that would prevent us from using any storage volume if zfcp is configured with support for DIF or DIX (zfcp.dif=1 || zfcp.dix=1). Doing so would result in an illegal memory access as soon as the first request is sent with such an configuration.

Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003ff801fbc36>] scsi_add_cmd_to_list+0x9e/0xa8 [scsi_mod] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops While this issue is exposed by the commit named above, this is only by accident. The real issue exists for longer already - basically since it's possible to use blk-mq via scsi-mq, and blk-mq pre-allocates all requests for a tag-set during initialization of the same. For a given Scsi_Host object this is done when adding the object to the midlayer (`scsi_add_host()` and such). In `scsi_mq_setup_tags()` the midlayer calculates how much memory is required for a single scsi_cmnd, and its additional data, which also might include space for additional protection data - depending on whether the Scsi_Host has any form of protection capabilities (`scsi_host_get_prot()`). The problem is now thus, because zfcp does this step before we actually know whether the firmware/hardware has these capabilities, we don't set any protection capabilities in the Scsi_Host object. And so, no space is allocated for additional protection data for requests in the Scsi_Host tag-set. Once we go through discover and initialize the FCP device firmware/hardware fully (this is done via the firmware commands "Exchange Config Data" and "Exchange Port Data") we find out whether it actually supports DIF and DIX, and we set the corresponding capabilities in the Scsi_Host object (in `zfcp_scsi_set_prot()`). Now the Scsi_Host potentially has protection capabilities, but the already allocated requests in the tag-set don't have any space allocated for that. When we then trigger target scanning or add scsi_devices manually, the midlayer will use requests from that tag-set, and before sending most requests, it will also call `scsi_mq_prep_fn()`. To prepare the scsi_cmnd this function will check again whether the used Scsi_Host has any protection capabilities - and now it potentially has - and if so, it will try to initialize the assumed to be preallocated structures and thus it causes the crash, like shown above. Before delaying the default elevator initialization with the commit named above, we always would also allocate an elevator for any scsi_device before ever sending any requests - in contrast to now, where we do it after device-probing. That elevator in turn would have its own tag-set, and that is initialized after we went through discovery and initialization of the underlying firmware/hardware. So requests from that tag-set can be allocated properly, and if used - unless the user changes/disabled the default elevator - this would hide the underlying issue. To fix this for any configuration - with or without an elevator - we move the allocation and registration of the Scsi_Host object for a given FCP device to after the first complete discovery and initialization of the underlying firmware/hardware. By doing that we can make all basic properties of the Scsi_Host known to the midlayer by the time we call `scsi_add_host()`, including whether we have any protection capabilities. To do that we have to delay all the accesses that we would have done in the past during discovery and initialization, and do them instead once we are finished with it. The previous patches ramp up to this by fencing and factoring out all these accesses, and make it possible to re-do them later on. In addition we make also use of the diagnostic buffers we recently added with commit 92953c6e ("scsi: zfcp: signal incomplete or error for sync exchange config/port data") commit 7e418833 ("scsi: zfcp: diagnostics buffer caching and use for exchange port data") commit 08821023 ("scsi: zfcp: add diagnostics buffer for exchange config data") (first released in v5.5), because these already cache all the information we need for that "re-do operation" - the information cached are always updated during xconf or xport data, so it won't be stale. In addition to the move and re-do, this patch also updates the function-documentation of `zfcp_scsi_adapter_register()` and changes how it reports if a Scsi_Host object already exists. In that case future recovery-operations can skip this step completely and behave much like they would do in the past - zfcp does not release a once allocated Scsi_Host object unless the corresponding FCP device is deconstructed completely.
