When certain PHB HW failure causes phyp to recover PHB, it marks the PE state as temporarily unavailable until recovery is complete. This also triggers an EEH handler in Linux which needs to notify drivers, and perform recovery. But before notifying the driver about the pci error it uses get_adapter_state()->get-sesnor-state() operation of the hotplug_slot to determine if the slot contains a device or not. if the slot is empty, the recovery is skipped entirely.
However on certain PHB failures, the rtas call get-sesnor-state() returns extended busy error (9902) until PHB is recovered by phyp. Once PHB is recovered, the get-sensor-state() returns success with correct presence status. The rtas call interface rtas_get_sensor() loops over the rtas call on extended delay return code (9902) until the return value is either success (0) or error (-1). This causes the EEH handler to get stuck for ~6 seconds before it could notify that the pci error has been detected and stop any active operations. Hence with running I/O traffic, during this 6 seconds, the network driver continues its operation and hits a timeout (netdev watchdog). On timeouts, network driver go into ffdc capture mode and reset path assuming the PCI device is in fatal condition. This sometimes causes EEH recovery to fail. This impacts the ssh connection and leads to the system being inaccessible. ------------ [52732.244731] DEBUG: ibm_read_slot_reset_state2() [52732.244762] DEBUG: ret = 0, rets[0]=5, rets[1]=1, rets[2]=4000, rets[3]=> [52732.244798] DEBUG: in eeh_slot_presence_check [52732.244804] DEBUG: error state check [52732.244807] DEBUG: Is slot hotpluggable [52732.244810] DEBUG: hotpluggable ops ?

Current implementation uses rtas_get_sensor() API which blocks the slot check state until rtas call returns success. Change rpaphp_get_sensor_state() to invoke rtas_call(get-sensor-state) directly and take actions based on rtas return status. This patch now errors out immediately on busy return status from rtas_call. Please note that, only on certain PHB failures, the slot presence check returns BUSY condition. In normal cases it returns immediately with a correct presence state value. Hence this change has no impact on normal pci dlpar operations.
