[PATCH v4 4/8] ibmvfc: define asynchronous sub-queue

From: Dave Marquardt via B4 Relay

Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 15:20:41 EST


From: Dave Marquardt <davemarq@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Define data structures for asynchronous sub-queue support required for
full and extended FPIN functionality.

Add ibmvfc_async_subq structure to represent async events received via
the sub-queue, including FPIN status, link state, event type, and WWPN
information.

Update ibmvfc_channel_setup structure to include async_subq_handle field
and reduce IBMVFC_MAX_CHANNELS from 502 to 501 to accommodate the async
sub-queue. Add async_scrq pointer to ibmvfc_channels structure.

Add capability flags IBMVFC_USE_ASYNC_SUBQ and IBMVFC_SUPPORT_ASYNC_SUBQ
for negotiating async sub-queue support with VIOS during login.
