This patch set updates the lpfc driver to revision 8.1.7, which includes the following changes: - Use mod_timer instead of add_timer in lpfc_els_timeout_handler - Standardize the driver on a single define for the maximum supported targets - Fix memory leak and cleanup code related to per ring lookup array. - Fixed infinite retry of REG_LOGIN mailbox failed due to MBXERR_RPI_FULL - Issue DOWN_LINK prior to INIT_LINK to work around link failure issue - Fix txcmplq related panics on heavy IO while downloading firmware - Correct bogus nodev_tmo message on NPort that changes its NPort Id - Consolidate dma buf cleanup into a separate function - Fix panic in lpfc_sli_validate_fcp_iocb due to access of scsi_cmnd after returning it to the midlayer - Adding new issue_reset sysfs attribute - Remove depricated sysfs attribute board_online, as it's replaced by the new issue_reset attribute - Correct the wait in attachment that delays for topology discovery - Add lpfc_sli_flush_mbox_queue() function and use it in lpfc_offline() call to avoid deadlock on thread block. - Misc Fixes: - Fix some sparse warnings - casts of address space - Fix handling of the adapter registration string. Each invocation was byteswapping, so every other adapter init attempt failed. - Correct comments and default value for the lpfc_max_luns parameter - Change version number to 8.1.7 -- james s - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
