powerpc/eeh: Set channel state after notifying the drivers
When a PCI error is encountered 6th time in an hour we
set the channel state to perm_failure and notify the
driver about the permanent failure.
However, after upstream commit 38ddc01 ("powerpc/eeh:
Make permanently failed devices non-actionable"), EEH handler
stops calling any routine once the device is marked as
permanent failure. This issue can lead to fatal consequences
like kernel hang with certain PCI devices.
Following log is observed with lpfc driver, with and without
this change, Without this change kernel hangs, If PCI error
is encountered 6 times for a device in an hour.
Without the change
EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
PCI 0132:60:00.0#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
PCI 0132:60:00.1#600000: EEH: not actionable (1,1,1)
EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'
With the change
EEH: Beginning: 'error_detected(permanent failure)'
EEH: Invoking lpfc->error_detected(permanent failure)
EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
EEH: Invoking lpfc->error_detected(permanent failure)
EEH: lpfc driver reports: 'disconnect'
EEH: Finished:'error_detected(permanent failure)'
To fix the issue, set channel state to permanent failure after
notifying the drivers.
