A previous change unilaterally removed the hba reset entry point from the sli3 host template. This was done to allow tape devices being used for back up from being removed. Why was this done ? When there was non-responding device on the fabric, the error escalation policy would escalate to the reset handler. When the reset handler was called, it would reset the adapter, dropping link, thus logging out and terminating all i/o's - on any target. If there was a tape device on the same adapter that wasn't in error, it would kill the tape i/o's, effectively killing the tape device state. With the reset point removed, the adapter reset avoided the fabric logout, allowing the other devices to continue to operate unaffected. A hack - yes. Hint: we really need a transport I_T nexus reset callback added to the eh process (in between the SCSI target reset and hba reset points), so a fc logout could occur to the one bad target only and stop the error escalation process. This patch commonizes the approach so it can be used for sli3 and sli4 adapters, but mandates the admin, via module parameter, specifically identify which adapters the resets are to be removed for. Additionally, bus_reset, which sends Target Reset TMFs to all targets, is also removed from the template as it too has the same effect as the adapter reset.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
