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.

v2.6.27 commit cc8c2829 ("[SCSI] zfcp: Automatically attach remote ports") introduced zfcp automatic port scan. Before that, the user had to use the sysfs attribute "port_add" of an FCP device (adapter) to add and open remote (target) ports, even for the remote peer port in point-to-point topology. That code path did a proper port open recovery trigger taking the erp_lock. Since above commit, a new helper function zfcp_erp_open_ptp_port() performed an UNlocked port open recovery trigger. This can race with other parallel recovery triggers. In zfcp_erp_action_enqueue() this could corrupt e.g. adapter->erp_total_count or adapter->erp_ready_head. As already found for fabric topology in v4.17 commit fa89adba ("scsi: zfcp: fix infinite iteration on ERP ready list"), there was an endless loop during tracing of rport (un)block. A subsequent v4.18 commit 9e156c54 ("scsi: zfcp: assert that the ERP lock is held when tracing a recovery trigger") introduced a lockdep assertion for that case. As a side effect, that lockdep assertion now uncovered the unlocked code path for PtP. It is from within an adapter ERP action: zfcp_erp_strategy[1479] intentionally DROPs erp lock around zfcp_erp_strategy_do_action() zfcp_erp_strategy_do_action[1441] NO erp lock zfcp_erp_adapter_strategy[876] NO erp lock zfcp_erp_adapter_strategy_open[855] NO erp lock zfcp_erp_adapter_strategy_open_fsf[806]NO erp lock zfcp_erp_adapter_strat_fsf_xconf[772] erp lock only around zfcp_erp_action_to_running(), BUT *_not_* around zfcp_erp_enqueue_ptp_port() zfcp_erp_enqueue_ptp_port[728] BUG: *_not_* taking erp lock _zfcp_erp_port_reopen[432] assumes to be called with erp lock zfcp_erp_action_enqueue[314] assumes to be called with erp lock zfcp_dbf_rec_trig[288] _checks_ to be called with erp lock: lockdep_assert_held(&adapter->erp_lock); It causes the following lockdep warning: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 775 at drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_dbf.c:288 zfcp_dbf_rec_trig+0x16a/0x188 no locks held by zfcperp0.0.17c0/775. Fix this by using the proper locked recovery trigger helper function.
