as promised here is now the second part of my ALUA device handler update.
This contains a major rework of the ALUA device handler as execution is
moved onto a workqueue. This has the advantage that we avoid having to
do multiple calls to the same LUN (as happens frequently when failing
over a LUN with several paths) and finally retries are handled correctly.
As some arrays are only capable of handling one STPG at a time I've added
a blacklist flag which then uses a singlethreaded workqueue, thereby
effectively synchronize STPG handling.
Thanks to Bart for this suggestion.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

Changes to v4:
- use kfree_rcu() as suggested by hch
- Use 'IS_ERR' instead of 'PTR_ERR' when checking for validity
  of a pointer
- Simplify pg assignment as suggested by hch
- Use separate WARN_ON statements a suggested by hch
- Fixes to avoid I/O stall on failover

Changes to v3:
- Use scsi_device flag for blacklisting as suggested by hch
- Add Arrays for synchronous ALUA handling
- Move synchronize_rcu() into release_port_group()
- Add remaining reviewed tags

Changes to v2:
- Use a SCSI blacklist flag instead of a hardware handler parameter
  for switching to synchronous ALUA handling
- Move scsi_get_device_flags{,_keyed} to scsi_devinfo.h
- Move flush_delayed_work() into release_port_group()
- Rename alua_lookup_pg() into alua_find_get_pg()
- Add __rcu annotations to keep sparse happy

Changes to v1:
- Include reviews from hch
- Switch to hardware handler parameter instead of module option

* [PATCHv4 00/23] asynchronous ALUA device handler

Hi all,

here is an update to the ALUA device handler. The main
features are:

- Topology discovery: the device handler creates a separate
  port_group structure, which is used to update all paths to
  the same port group. With that we achieve a significant
  reduction of the number of RTPGs.
- Asynchronous state update: The ALUA state is now updated
  from a workqueue item, so all concurrent RTPG calls are
  coaleasced. The ALUA state update is also triggered by
  sense codes indicating an ALUA state change.
- Use the existing vpd page 0x83 to detect device IDs

The patchset is relative to the V4 version of the scsi_dh update.
The entire tree can be found at

kernel/hare/scsi-devel branch alua.v4

on git.kernel.org

As usual, reviews and comments are welcome.

Changes to v1:
  - Split off rtpg workqueue into separate items
  - User per-port workqueues
  - Incorporate review from Bart
  - Incorporate review from hch
Changes to v2:
  - Fixup patch descriptions
  - Split off 'Improve error handling' patch
Changes to v3:
  - Implement generic 'scsi_vpd_lun_id()' function to parse vpd page 0x83

Hannes Reinecke (23):
  scsi_dh_alua: Disable ALUA handling for non-disk devices
  scsi_dh_alua: Use vpd_pg83 information
  scsi_dh_alua: improved logging
  scsi_dh_alua: use standard logging functions
  scsi_dh_alua: return standard SCSI return codes in submit_rtpg
  scsi_dh_alua: fixup description of stpg_endio()
  scsi: remove scsi_show_sense_hdr()
  scsi_dh_alua: use flag for RTPG extended header

  scsi_dh_alua: Recheck state on unit attention
  scsi_dh_alua: update all port states
