[ Upstream commit 665e0224a3d76f36da40bd9012270fa629aa42ed ] After a loss of transport due to an adapter migration or crash/disconnect from the host partner there is a tiny window where we can race adjusting the request_limit of the adapter. The request limit is atomically increased/decreased to track the number of inflight requests against the allowed limit of our VIOS partner. After a transport loss we set the request_limit to zero to reflect this state. However, there is a window where the adapter may attempt to queue a command because the transport loss event hasn't been fully processed yet and request_limit is still greater than zero. The hypercall to send the event will fail and the error path will increment the request_limit as a result. If the adapter processes the transport event prior to this increment the request_limit becomes out of sync with the adapter state and can result in SCSI commands being submitted on the now reset connection prior to an SRP Login resulting in a protocol violation. Fix this race by protecting request_limit with the host lock when changing the value via atomic_set() to indicate no transport.

Linux kernel
============
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.
