If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6d9cc6fd79903960e667dc3e1c68bd4bc39f9ed6 Author: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 18 14:18:20 2019 -0700 scsi: lpfc: Fix SLI3 hba in loop mode not discovering devices [ Upstream commit feff8b3d84d3d9570f893b4d83e5eab6693d6a52 ] When operating in private loop mode, PLOGI exchanges are racing and the driver tries to abort it's PLOGI. But the PLOGI abort ends up terminating the login with the other end causing the other end to abort its PLOGI as well. Discovery never fully completes. Fix by disabling the PLOGI abort when private loop and letting the state machine play out.
