In ql4_init.c in qla4xxx_build_ddb_list() the firmware ddb entry's state needs to be updated by calling qla4xxx_get_fwddb_entry() after qla4xxx_set_ddb_entry(). > 8. remove dead code in ql4_dbg.c and ql4_mbx.c > 9. Since qla4xxx is a multifunction device having one iSCSI and one Ethernet function per physical port, when one of the functions resets the HBA all others need to acknowledge it and wait till the reset is complete and each of them need to re-initialize. A bug in qla4xxx_free_adapter() was resulting in where the resources pertaining to a function were getting released due to module unload, when the function was recovering from reset issued by one of the other functions. > 10. In qla4xxx_free_adapter() memory resources needed to be freed after free_irq() is invoked. > Thanks > David Somayajulu > QLogic Corporation > Looks ok, but it is best to send updates with one change per patch and each patch having some change info. It makes it nice for when searching git logs for problems later. Maybe James wants you to resubmit a proper patchset though. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
