qla2xxx: kill sessions/log out initiator on RSCN and port down events
To fix some issues talking to ESX, this patch modifies the qla2xxx driver so that it never logs into remote ports. This has the side effect of getting rid of the "rports" entirely, which means we never log out of initiators and never tear down sessions when an initiator goes away. This is mostly OK, except that we can run into trouble if we have initiator A assigned FC address X:Y:Z by the fabric talking to us, and then initiator A goes away. Some time (could be a long time) later, initiator B comes along and also gets FC address X:Y:Z (which is available again, because initiator A is gone). If initiator B starts talking to us, then we'll still have the session for initiator A, and since we look up incoming IO based on the FC address X:Y:Z, initiator B will end up using ACLs for initiator A. Fix this by: 1. Handling RSCN events somewhat differently; instead of completely skipping the processing of fcports, we look through the list, and if an fcport disappears, we tell the target code the tear down the session and tell the HBA FW to release the N_Port handle. 2. Handling "port down" events by flushing all of our sessions. The firmware was already releasing the N_Port handle but we want the target code to drop all the sessions too.
