Public bug reported:

---Problem Description---
vios vfc unmap (vfcmap -vadapter vfchost0 -fcp) can result in no i/o being 
retried nor device offline.
  
---uname output---
Linux ubuntu16 4.4.0-9136-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 26 05:56:24 UTC 2016 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
 
Machine Type = Power8 LPAR 
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
 Ubuntu 16.10 lpar with two vfc adapters mapped to SAN Storage and configured 
with mulitpath.
In vios do:  vfcmap -vadapter vfchost0 -fcp (where vfchost0 maps to test lpar). 
 multipath -ll and lvm commands hang in linux lpar.  tail /var/log/message 
hangs sometimes. multipath doesn't see failing devices and doesn't mark paths 
down.


Fyi ...
.... the following patch fixes the problem, which is now upstream accepted in 
the scsi tree as
