https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199887 Bug ID: 199887 Summary: Fibre login failure on older adapters Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.14.44 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: QLOGIC QLA2XXX Assignee: scsi_drivers-qla2xxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jur@xxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 276269 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=276269&action=edit kernel log with error logging enabled I have a problem bringing up a fibrechannel connection when I'm using older Qlogic controllers. There are two that I tried that have issues, a PCI board with a SP202 chipset, and a PCI-X board with an ISP2312 chipset. PCI-e boards with a ISP2432 chipset are okay. The problem is that the connection will not come up correctly, and that the kernel logfile is flooded with messages like this as soon as the link is up: May 24 14:16:02 venus kernel: [ 474.647874] qla2xxx [0000:08:03.0]-500a:7: LOOP UP detected (2 Gbps).

Kernels 4.4.128 and 4.9.6 have no issues. Starting with the 4.14.44 kernel I see this problem, i'm not sure in which kernel this was introduced. The 4.16.11 kernel behaves a little bit different in that I get the error messages once per second, so that version does not flood the logfile but still fails. I created an extended logfile with ql2xextended_error_logging enabled (see attachment). The logfile was created on a san with multiple systems and one san storage controller, the problem however can also be reproduced when only a single switch is connected to the adapter and nothing else.
