Hi Julia, sorry for the long delay until I finally responded. Thanks a lot for your report and patch. I'll queue this and send it for v3.6rcX hopefully soon.

This is most probably a copy & paste oversight in commit a1ca48319a9aa1c5b57ce142f538e76050bb8972 "[SCSI] zfcp: Move ACL/CFDC code to zfcp_cfdc.c" v2.6.37 where the content of static void zfcp_erp_port_access_changed(struct zfcp_port *port, char *id, void *ref) { struct scsi_device *sdev; int status = atomic_read(&port->status); if (!(status & (ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_ACCESS_DENIED | ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_ACCESS_BOXED))) { shost_for_each_device(sdev, port->adapter->scsi_host) ^^^^ was merged into zfcp_cfdc_adapter_access_changed(struct zfcp_adapter *adapter) Since this code is for older hardware and users not using NPIV and this is only executed on dynamic access changes, nobody has noticed this so far I guess. > drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c b/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c > index fab2c25..8ed63aa 100644 > --- a/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c > +++ b/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_cfdc.c > @@ -293,7 +293,7 @@ void zfcp_cfdc_adapter_access_changed(struct zfcp_adapter *adapter) > } > read_unlock_irqrestore(&adapter->port_list_lock, flags); > > - shost_for_each_device(sdev, port->adapter->scsi_host) { > + shost_for_each_device(sdev, adapter->scsi_host) { > zfcp_sdev = sdev_to_zfcp(sdev); > status = atomic_read(&zfcp_sdev->status); > if ((status & ZFCP_STATUS_COMMON_ACCESS_DENIED) || > Steffen Linux on System z Development IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Martina Koederitz Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
