This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: lpfc: Fix "Unexpected timeout" error in direct attach topology to the 5.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-lpfc-fix-unexpected-timeout-error-in-direct-att.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4c88cbdc1c67f01cd8bd292e4ac8e40549760dd7 Author: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri May 14 12:55:51 2021 -0700 scsi: lpfc: Fix "Unexpected timeout" error in direct attach topology [ Upstream commit e30d55137edef47434c40d7570276a0846fe922c ] An 'unexpected timeout' message may be seen in a point-2-point topology. The message occurs when a PLOGI is received before the driver is notified of FLOGI completion. The FLOGI completion failure causes discovery to be triggered for a second time. The discovery timer is restarted but no new discovery activity is initiated, thus the timeout message eventually appears. In point-2-point, when discovery has progressed before the FLOGI completion is processed, it is not a failure. Add code to FLOGI completion to detect that discovery has progressed and exit the FLOGI handling (noop'ing it).
