User experience slow recovery when target device went through a stop/start
of the authentication application (app_stop/app_start).
Between the period of app_stop and app_start on the target device, target
device choose to send ELS Reject for any receive AUTH ELS command. At this
time, authentication application does not do ELS reject if it encounters
error.
Therefore, AUTH ELS reject signify authentication application is not
running. If driver passes up the AUTH ELS Reject to the authentication
application, then it would result in authentication application
retrying/resending the same AUTH ELS command again + delay.
As a work around, driver should trigger a session tear down where it tells
the local authentication application to also tear down. At the next
relogin, both sides are then synchronized.

The scenario is this: User loaded driver but has not started authentication
app. All sessions to secure device will exhaust all login attempts, fail,
and in stay in deleted state. Then some time later the app is started. The
driver will replenish the login retry count, trigger delete to prepare for
secure login. After deletion, relogin is triggered.
For the session that is already deleted, the delete trigger is a no-op. If
none of the sessions trigger a relogin, no progress is made.
Add a relogin trigger.

After initiator has burned up all login retries, target authentication
application begins to run. This triggers a link bounce on target side.
Initiator will attempt another login. Due to N2N, the PRLI [nvme | fcp] can
fail because of the mode mismatch with target. This patch add a few more
login retries to revive the connection.

before authentication application started. When authentication application

Recently driver has implemented a new doorbell mechanism via bsg. The new
doorbell tells driver the exact buffer size application has where driver
can fill it up with events. The old doorbell guestimated application buffer
size is 256.
Remove duplicate functionality, the application has moved on to the new
doorbell interface.

Add bsg interface for app to read doorbell events. This interface lets
driver know how much app can read based on return buffer size. When the
next event(s) occur, driver will return the bsg_job with the event(s) in
the return buffer.
If there is no event to read, driver will hold on to the bsg_job up to few
seconds as a way to control the polling interval.

Aborting commands that have already been sent to the firmware can
cause BUG in qlt_free_cmd(): BUG_ON(cmd->sg_mapped)
For instance:
- Command passes rdx_to_xfer state, maps sgl, sends to the firmware
- Reset occurs, qla2xxx performs ISP error recovery, aborts the command
- Target stack calls qlt_abort_cmd() and then qlt_free_cmd()
- BUG_ON(cmd->sg_mapped) in qlt_free_cmd() occurs because sgl was not
unmapped
Thus, unmap sgl in qlt_abort_cmd() for commands with the aborted flag set.

For session recovery, driver relies on the dpc thread to initiate certain
operations. The dpc thread runs exclusively without the Mailbox interface
being occupied. A recent code change for heartbeat check via mailbox cmd 0
is preventing the dpc thread from carrying out its operation. This patch
allows the higher priority error recovery to run first before running the
lower priority heartbeat check.

User experienced device lost. The log shows Get port data base command was
queued up, failed, and requeued again. Every time it is requeued, it set
the FCF_ASYNC_ACTIVE. This prevents any recovery code from occurring
because driver thinks a recovery is in progress for this session. In
essence, this session is hung. The reason it gets into this place is the
session deletion got in front of this call due to link perturbation.
Break the requeue cycle and exit. The session deletion code will trigger a
session relogin.
