You need a more detailed description of your changes here for the commit log body.
You will also need a signed off tag from yourself for this to even be merged.

This appears to be called by ibmvfc_handle_async() with runs in atomic context
and cannot therefore sleep. This allocation needs to be GFP_ATOMIC. Although
there is another issue below that might make this moot.

What is with this /*XXX*/? I can't find it once I apply the patchset so I assume
its removed in a later patch, but it should be removed here.

This call to fc_host_fpin_rcv() appears to be problematic as it assumes no locks
are held, but ibmvfc_handle_async() is called with the scsi host lock held. We
already do a lot more work than we probaly should in our interrupt handler. I
think we maybe need to pass the FPIN work off to a workqueue instead to be
handled in process context instead.
