Stable backports for qla2xxx target mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg-KH,

This is a follow up on a handful of 'WTF' emails for some of the recent
qla2xxx target patches from v4.2-rc5 CC'ed for v3.18.y stable.

  a6ca8878 qla2xxx: delay plogi/prli ack until existing sessions are deleted
  daddf5cf qla2xxx: Abort stale cmds on qla_tgt_wq when plogi arrive
  df673274 qla2xxx: added sess generations to detect RSCN update races
  d20ed91b qla2xxx: disable scsi_transport_fc registration in target mode
  7359df25 qla2xxx: terminate exchange when command is aborted by LIO
  8b2f5ff3 qla2xxx: cleanup cmd in qla workqueue before processing TMR
  e52a8b45 qla2xxx: drop cmds/tmrs arrived while session is being deleted

These are all bug-fix patches that address real-world correctness issues
reported by a large customer of the qla2xxx target code, and have been
reviewed + tested + signed-off-by the HW LLD maintainer.

Granted these patches are larger in size that I'd normally be
comfortable with CC'ing for stable, but they do address real-world
correctness issues seen in large scale production with qla2xxx target
code.

Please consider adding these to your stable queue, to go along with the
qla2xxx target patches from the same series that have already made it
into v4.1.5.

Thank you,

--nab
