If a command is aborted in the kernel but not in the adapter, it might be considered complete and its DMA memory released, but it is still alive in the adapter, which will trigger an invalid DMA access upon its completion (in the DMA operations to deliver the command response to the driver). On powerpc platforms with IOMMU/EEH capabilities, the problem is observed during PCI device removal with ongoing IO requests -- which might trigger an EEH event very often, pointing to a 'TCE Request Page Access Error'. In that path, which is qla2x00_remove_one(), the commands are aborted in qla2x00_abort_all_cmds(), which does not perform an abort in the adapter as is done in qla2xxx_eh_abort() for example. So, this patch changes qla2x00_abort_all_cmds() to abort commands in the adapter too, with a call to qla2xxx_eh_abort(), which already implements all the logic to submit abort requests and handle responses.
