[ Upstream commit 9efcdaac36e1643a1b7f5337e6143ce142d381b1 ]
When a PCI error is encountered 6th time in an hour we
set the channel state to perm_failure and notify the
driver about the permanent failure.
However, after upstream commit 38ddc011478e ("powerpc/eeh:
Make permanently failed devices non-actionable"), EEH handler
stops calling any routine once the device is marked as
permanent failure. This issue can lead to fatal consequences
like kernel hang with certain PCI devices.
Following log is observed with lpfc driver, with and without
this change, Without this change kernel hangs, If PCI error
is encountered 6 times for a device in an hour.
Without the change
EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
PCI 0132:60:00.0#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
PCI 0132:60:00.1#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'
With the change
EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
EEH: Invoking lpfc->error_detected(permanent failure)
EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
EEH: Invoking lpfc->error_detected(permanent failure)
EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'
To fix the issue, set channel state to permanent failure after
notifying the drivers.

============
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.
