+Subject: zfcp: Send ELS ADISC from workqueue
+References: bnc#482818,LTC#51958
+
+Symptom: Remote port status change not handled
+ with high I/O load on other ports.
+Problem: The ELS ADISC command used for checking
+ the remote port status could not be sent
+ because of a full request queue.
+Solution: Move issing the ELS ADISC request to
+ a workqueue that can wait for a slot
+ in the request queue to become free.
+
+Acked-by: John Jolly <jjolly@suse.de>
