Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 01/35] scsi: core: alua: I/O errors for ALUA state transitions

From: Martin Wilck <martin.wilck@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 10157b1fc1a762293381e9145041253420dfc6ad ]

When a host is configured with a few LUNs and I/O is running, injecting FC
faults repeatedly leads to path recovery problems.  The LUNs have 4 paths
each and 3 of them come back active after say an FC fault which makes 2 of
the paths go down, instead of all 4. This happens after several iterations
of continuous FC faults.

Reason here is that we're returning an I/O error whenever we're
encountering sense code 06/04/0a (LOGICAL UNIT NOT ACCESSIBLE, ASYMMETRIC
ACCESS STATE TRANSITION) instead of retrying.

[mwilck: The original patch was developed by Rajashekhar M A and Hannes
Reinecke. I moved the code to alua_check_sense() as suggested by Mike
Christie [1]. Evan Milne had raised the question whether pg->state should
be set to transitioning in the UA case [2]. I believe that doing this is
correct. SCSI_ACCESS_STATE_TRANSITIONING by itself doesn't cause I/O
errors. Our handler schedules an RTPG, which will only result in an I/O
error condition if the transitioning timeout expires.]
