From: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch initializes port speed so that firmware does not set lower operating speed. Setting lower speed in firmware impacts WRITE perfomance. Fixes: 726b85487067 ("qla2xxx: Add framework for async fabric discovery") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Singed-off-by: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Himanshu Madhani <himanshu.madhani@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Laurence Oberman <loberman@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Martin, This patch fixes initialization issue for the driver which results into setting lower speed for WRITE transfer. In our latest experiments we have seen improvments of 47% for WRITE data Please apply this patch to 4.20/scsi-fixes for 4.20-rcX inclusion at your earliest convenience.
