This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: qedf: Change context reset messages to ratelimited to the 5.16-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-qedf-change-context-reset-messages-to-ratelimit.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 78d50e8fc2702869e184175311b7ea3825f902a0 Author: Saurav Kashyap <skashyap@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 17 05:53:11 2022 -0800 scsi: qedf: Change context reset messages to ratelimited [ Upstream commit 64fd4af6274eb0f49d29772c228fffcf6bde1635 ] If FCoE is not configured, libfc/libfcoe keeps on retrying FLOGI and after 3 retries driver does a context reset and tries fipvlan again. This leads to context reset message flooding the logs. Hence ratelimit the message to prevent flooding the logs.
