James Smart a97ec51b37 nvmet_fc: Rework target side abort handling
target transport:
----------------------
There are cases when there is a need to abort in-progress target
operations (writedata) so that controller termination or errors can
clean up. That can't happen currently as the abort is another target
op type, so it can't be used till the running one finishes (and it may
not).  Solve by removing the abort op type and creating a separate
downcall from the transport to the lldd to request an io to be aborted.

The transport will abort ios on queue teardown or io errors. In general
the transport tries to call the lldd abort only when the io state is
idle. Meaning: ops that transmit data (readdata or rsp) will always
finish their transmit (or the lldd will see a state on the
link or initiator port that fails the transmit) and the done call for
the operation will occur. The transport will wait for the op done
upcall before calling the abort function, and as the io is idle, the
io can be cleaned up immediately after the abort call; Similarly, ios
that are not waiting for data or transmitting data must be in the nvmet
layer being processed. The transport will wait for the nvmet layer
completion before calling the abort function, and as the io is idle,
the io can be cleaned up immediately after the abort call; As for ops
that are waiting for data (writedata), they may be outstanding
indefinitely if the lldd doesn't see a condition where the initiatior
port or link is bad. In those cases, the transport will call the abort
function and wait for the lldd's op done upcall for the operation, where
it will then clean up the io.

Additionally, if a lldd receives an ABTS and matches it to an outstanding
request in the transport, A new new transport upcall was created to abort
the outstanding request in the transport. The transport expects any
outstanding op call (readdata or writedata) will completed by the lldd and
the operation upcall made. The transport doesn't act on the reported
abort (e.g. clean up the io) until an op done upcall occurs, a new op is
attempted, or the nvmet layer completes the io processing.

fcloop:
----------------------
Updated to support the new target apis.
On fcp io aborts from the initiator, the loopback context is updated to
NULL out the half that has completed. The initiator side is immediately
called after the abort request with an io completion (abort status).
On fcp io aborts from the target, the io is stopped and the initiator side
sees it as an aborted io. Target side ops, perhaps in progress while the
initiator side is done, continue but noop the data movement as there's no
structure on the initiator side to reference.

patch also contains:
----------------------
Revised lpfc to support the new abort api

commonized rsp buffer syncing and nulling of private data based on
calling paths.

errors in op done calls don't take action on the fod. They're bad
operations which implies the fod may be bad.

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.
