[ Upstream commit 62fa3ce05d ]
Fix an issue reported when performing a live migration when multipath is
configured with a short fast fail timeout of 5 seconds and also to have
no_path_retry set to fail. In this scenario, all paths would go into the
devloss state while the ibmvfc driver went through discovery to log back
in. On a loaded system, the discovery might take longer than 5 seconds,
which was resulting in all paths being marked failed, which then resulted
in a read only filesystem.
This patch changes the migration code in ibmvfc to avoid deleting rports at
all in this scenario, so we avoid losing all paths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
