This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: lpfc: Revise NPIV ELS unsol rcv cmpl logic to drop ndlp based on nlp_state to the 6.4-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-revise-npiv-els-unsol-rcv-cmpl-logic-to-dr.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c905412862c7704454d5a5b4080b7ae55512f654 Author: Justin Tee <justin.tee@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 23 11:32:01 2023 -0700 scsi: lpfc: Revise NPIV ELS unsol rcv cmpl logic to drop ndlp based on nlp_state [ Upstream commit 9914a3d033d3e1d836a43e93e9738e7dd44a096a ] When NPIV ports are zoned to devices that support both initiator and target mode, a remote device's initiated PRLI results in unintended final kref clean up of the device's ndlp structure. This disrupts NPIV ports' discovery for target devices that support both initiator and target mode. Modify the NPIV lpfc_drop_node clause such that we allow the ndlp to live so long as it was in NLP_STE_PLOGI_ISSUE, NLP_STE_REG_LOGIN_ISSUE, or NLP_STE_PRLI_ISSUE nlp_state. This allows lpfc's issued PRLI completion routine to determine if the final kref clean up should execute rather than a remote device's issued PRLI.
