From: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> To select the appropriate shost template, the driver is issuing a mailbox command to retrieve the wwn. Turns out the sending of the command precedes the reset of the function. On SLI-4 adapters, this is inconsequential as the mailbox command location is specified by dma via the BMBX register. However, on SLI-3 adapters, the location of the mailbox command submission area changes. When the function is first powered on or reset, the cmd is submitted via PCI bar memory. Later the driver changes the function config to use host memory and DMA. The request to start a mailbox command is the same, a simple doorbell write, regardless of submission area. So.. if there has not been a boot driver run against the adapter, the mailbox command works as defaults are ok. But, if the boot driver has configured the card and, and if no platform pci function/slot reset occurs as the os starts, the mailbox command will fail. The SLI-3 device will use the stale boot driver dma location. This can cause PCI eeh errors. Fix is to reset the sli-3 function before sending the mailbox command, thus synchronizing the function/driver on mailbox location.
