zfcp: auto port scan resiliency
This patch improves the Fibre Channel port scan behaviour of the zfcp lldd.
Without it the zfcp device driver may churn up the storage area network by
excessive scanning and scan bursts, particularly in big virtual server
environments, potentially resulting in interference of virtual servers and
reduced availability of storage connectivity.
The two main issues as to the zfcp device drivers automatic port scan in
virtual server environments are frequency and simultaneity.
On the one hand, there is no point in allowing lots of ports scans
in a row. It makes sense, though, to make sure that a scan is conducted
eventually if there has been any indication for potential SAN changes.
On the other hand, lots of virtual servers receiving the same indication
for a SAN change had better not attempt to conduct a scan instantly,
that is, at the same time.
Hence this patch has a two-fold approach for better port scanning:
the introduction of a rate limit to amend frequency issues, and the
introduction of a short random backoff to amend simultaneity issues.
Both approaches boil down to deferred port scans, with delays
comprising parts for both approaches.
The new port scan behaviour is summarised best by:
NEW: NEW:
no_auto_port_rescan random rate flush
backoff limit =wait
adapter resume/thaw yes yes no yes*
adapter online (user) no yes no yes*
port rescan (user) no no no yes
adapter recovery (user) yes yes yes no
adapter recovery (other) yes yes yes no
incoming ELS yes yes yes no
incoming ELS lost yes yes yes no
Implementation is straight-forward by converting an existing worker to
a delayed worker. But care is needed whenever that worker is going to be
flushed (in order to make sure work has been completed), since a flush
operation cancels the timer set up for deferred execution (see * above).
There is a small race window whenever a port scan work starts
running up to the point in time of storing the time stamp for that port
scan. The impact is negligible. Closing that gap isn't trivial, though, and
would the destroy the beauty of a simple work-to-delayed-work conversion.
