This patch, applicable to 8G/4G/2G adapters, adds a call that resumes transmit operations after a link bounce. Without it, targets that tried to suspend exchanges after a link bounce (such as tape devices using sequence level error recovery) would never resume io operation, causing scan failures, and eventually deadlocks if a device removal request is made. The patches were cut against Christoph's scsi-queue.git, branch "drivers-for-3.18". The driver rev cut against is 10.4.8000.0 -- james s Signed-off-by: James Smart <james.smart@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dick Kennedy <dick.kennedy@xxxxxxxxxx> --- lpfc_els.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff -upNr a/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c b/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c --- a/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c 2014-12-29 12:48:08.000000000 -0500 +++ b/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c 2014-12-30 11:23:04.344426606 -0500 @@ -2225,6 +2225,15 @@ lpfc_adisc_done(struct lpfc_vport *vport if ((phba->sli3_options & LPFC_SLI3_NPIV_ENABLED) && !(vport->fc_flag & FC_RSCN_MODE) && (phba->sli_rev < LPFC_SLI_REV4)) { + /* The ADISCs are complete.
