If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 38ec01bdbe4dc6581768c5f268071e0427f6ef3d Author: Quinn Tran <qutran@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 10 01:25:59 2022 -0800 scsi: qla2xxx: Fix laggy FC remote port session recovery [ Upstream commit 713b415726f100f6644971e75ebfe1edbef1a390 ] For session recovery, driver relies on the dpc thread to initiate certain operations. The dpc thread runs exclusively without the Mailbox interface being occupied. A recent code change for heartbeat check via mailbox cmd 0 is preventing the dpc thread from carrying out its operation. This patch allows the higher priority error recovery to run first before running the lower priority heartbeat check.
