PATCH 1/1 FC_Transport: Check portstates before invoking target scan

Hi James (& James, too :-),

scsi_transport_fc.c:fc_user_scan() should check the portstates prior to calling scsi_scan_target(). Otherwise we might get a nice oops as the rport might already been disconnected from the host by the time we're calling scsi_scan_target(). Thus the traversal from the rport to the scsi_host in scsi_scan_target() will fail, resulting in a nice Oops. Plus it's quite pointless to scan a target if the portstates already told us that we can't communicate with it.

Please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes

scsi_transport_fc: Check portstates before invoking target scan

When a target scan is initiated from sysfs, we should check the portstate prior to invoke scsi_scan_target().
Otherwise scsi_scan_target() might oops as the rport might already been removed from the scsi host and the traversal from the rport to the scsi_host in scsi_scan_target() will fail.
Also the portstate already told us that communication with the target has failed, so it's quite pointless to try.

Sounds reasonable... Only change I'd make is rather than comparing all the different states, simply compare (rport->port_state != FC_PORTSTATE_ONLINE)

As per normal you are oh-so correct.

Updated patch attached.
