Cathy Avery 0c3ae26647 scsi: scsi_transport_fc: Add dummy initiator role to rport
This patch allows scsi drivers that expose virturalized fibre channel
devices but that do not expose rports to successfully rescan the scsi
bus via echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan.  Drivers can
create a pseudo rport and indicate FC_PORT_ROLE_FCP_DUMMY_INITIATOR as
the rport's role in fc_rport_identifiers. This insures that a valid
scsi_target_id is assigned to the newly created rport and it can meet
the requirements of fc_user_scan_tgt calling scsi_scan_target.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
