This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme-fc: update hardware queues before using them to the 5.14-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: nvme-fc-update-hardware-queues-before-using-them.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1299bcb5549f1fdf002a3a642c04bdccfefd438c Author: Daniel Wagner <dwagner@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 14 11:20:06 2021 +0200 nvme-fc: update hardware queues before using them [ Upstream commit 555f66d0f8a38537456acc77043d0e4469fcbe8e ] In case the number of hardware queues changes, we need to update the tagset and the mapping of ctx to hctx first. If we try to create and connect the I/O queues first, this operation will fail (target will reject the connect call due to the wrong number of queues) and hence we bail out of the recreate function. Then we will to try the very same operation again, thus we don't make any progress.
