Currently the discovery layers within the driver use the SCSI midlayer host_lock to access node-specific structures. This can contend with the I/O path and is too coarse of a lock. Rework the driver so that it uses a lock specific to the remote port node structure when accessing the structure contents. A few of the changes brought out spots were some slightly reorganized routines worked better.

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.
