I'm waiting for your feedback using the target-pending/4.4-stable
branch as previously discussed.  Have you been able to test..?

Beyond that, the QLogic folks are currently testing the patch series to
address the root cause, and I expect it to be merged upstream next week
and it will make it into older stable kernels the following weeks.

Note the bug your hitting is not specific to ESX versions, FC, or to
VAAI.

But note as previously mentioned, if your still seeing constant
ABORT_TASKS from ESX + FC then your backend is unable to keep up.
You'll seriously want to consider looking into the ESX tunables
mentioned in the previous email.
