Did you want to use krefs for the refcounting?

We will add it to our to do list and submit a patch later on.
For right now we will like to stick to it as kref will require
additional testing.

And why is this so funky (got_ref arg and refcount peak) compared to the
qla2xxx one?

I don't think qla2xxx is doing any reference counting in eh_abort() path.
Basically its trying to differentiate for case where it takes an
additional
reference when the cmd is with the F/W. In that case if its the last guy,
then it can go ahead and complete the command.


got_ref is always 0 isn't it (at least in the patch it is)? It seems
like you can just get rid of all that and just copy qla2xxx's code.

Hey, since it is always 0, then

if (got_ref && (atomic_read(&rp->ref_count) == 1)) {

will never be true, right? I think you can just drop that chunk or let me know if it is used in another patch I missed or something.
