From: "Moore, Eric" <Eric.Moore@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:09:28 -0700 > David - The backup and restoring of the MSIX vector capabilities registers across diagnostic reset was only needed for our pre-production cards (A0 parts). It was a workaround for some hardware errata. This is not needed anymore as there was a fix addressed before those controllers when to production, so I finally removed this workaround in the driver during phase 10 in the LSI in-house drivers, which was about 10 months ago. Attached is my commit for the in-house drivers. You should be able to remove the save_msix_table and restore_msix_table routines as I did. I don't care how it is fixed, I only care that a fix makes it's way into -stable. You LSI guys seem to ignore the -stable series and submit _ZERO_ bug fixes for your driver there, leaving it to people like me suffering from the bugs to submit the fixes for you. Therefore it is kind of out of place for you to suggest a specific way you want the bug fixed, because obviously you guys don't care about backporting bug fixes to -stable in the first place. With that in mind, why not leave the decision to people who actually care, have actually tested the fix, and bothered to submit it to -stable? -- 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
