mdr@sgi.com 6dd727da92 [SCSI] mptfc: race between mptfc_register_dev and mptfc_target_alloc A race condition exists in mptfc between the thread registering a device with the fc transport and the scan work generated by the transport. This race existed prior to the application of the mptfc bug fix patch. mptfc_register_dev() calls fc_remote_port_add() with the FC_RPORT_ROLE_TARGET bit set in the rport ids passed to the function. Having this bit set causes fc_remote_port_add() to schedule a scan of the device. This scan can execute before mptfc_register_dev() can fill in the dd_data in the rport structure. When this happens, mptfc_target_alloc() will fail because dd_data is null. Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. The patch changes the rport ids passed to fc_remote_port_add() to not have the TARGET bit set. This prevents the scan from being scheduled. After mptfc_register_dev() fills in the rport dd_data field, fc_remote_port_rolechg() is called, changing the role of the rport to TARGET. Thus, the scan is scheduled after dd_data is filled in which prevents the failure in mptfc_target_alloc().
