commit fa89adba1941e4f3b213399b81732a5c12fd9131 upstream.
zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() schedules blocking of all of the adapter's
rports via zfcp_scsi_schedule_rports_block() and enqueues a reopen
adapter ERP action via zfcp_erp_action_enqueue(). Both are separately
processed asynchronously and concurrently.
Blocking of rports is done in a kworker by zfcp_scsi_rport_work(). It
calls zfcp_scsi_rport_block(), which then traces a DBF REC "scpdely" via
zfcp_dbf_rec_trig(). zfcp_dbf_rec_trig() acquires the DBF REC spin lock
and then iterates with list_for_each() over the adapter's ERP ready list
without holding the ERP lock. This opens a race window in which the
current list entry can be moved to another list, causing list_for_each()
to iterate forever on the wrong list, as the erp_ready_head is never
encountered as terminal condition.
Meanwhile the ERP action can be processed in the ERP thread by
zfcp_erp_thread(). It calls zfcp_erp_strategy(), which acquires the ERP
lock and then calls zfcp_erp_action_to_running() to move the ERP action
from the ready to the running list. zfcp_erp_action_to_running() can
move the ERP action using list_move() just during the aforementioned
race window. It then traces a REC RUN "erator1" via zfcp_dbf_rec_run().
zfcp_dbf_rec_run() tries to acquire the DBF REC spin lock. If this is
held by the infinitely looping kworker, it effectively spins forever.

Any adapter recovery can trigger this, such as setting the device offline
or reboot.
V4.9 commit 4eeaa4f3f1d6 ("zfcp: close window with unblocked rport
during rport gone") introduced additional tracing of (un)blocking of
rports. It missed that the adapter->erp_lock must be held when calling
zfcp_dbf_rec_trig().
This fix uses the approach formerly introduced by commit aa0fec6239
("[SCSI] zfcp: Fix sparse warning by providing new entry in dbf") that got
later removed by commit ae0904f60f ("[SCSI] zfcp: Redesign of the debug
tracing for recovery actions.").
Introduce zfcp_dbf_rec_trig_lock(), a wrapper for zfcp_dbf_rec_trig() that
acquires and releases the adapter->erp_lock for read.
