Description Marcus Barrow 2008-07-18 17:16:47 UTC
This patch provides information for our management API for Fibre Channel devices. This provides 
functionality that would formerly have been performed by ioctl's. It creates two more entries in sysfs, 
along with our VPD info, SFP info and option rom control. These entries are used to pass thru commands.

Tested at QLogic. I believe it's submitted or queued for upstream. ( person on vacation )

Comment 1 Andrius Benokraitis 2008-07-21 14:36:43 UTC
Marcus, please post the patch ASA it's upstream... thanks!

~~~ Attention Partners! ~~~

Please test this URGENT / HIGH priority bug at your earliest convenience to ensure it makes it into the upcoming RHEL 5.3 release. The fix should be present in the Partner Snapshot #2 (kernel*-122), available NOW at ftp://partners.redhat.com. As we are approaching the end of the RHEL 5.3 test cycle, it is critical that you report back testing results as soon as possible. 

If you have VERIFIED the fix, please add PartnerVerified to the Bugzilla Keywords field to indicate this. If you find that this issue has not been properly fixed, set the bug status to ASSIGNED with a comment describing the issues you encountered.

All NEW issues encountered (not part of this bug fix) should have a new bug created with the proper keywords and flags set to trigger a review for their inclusion in the upcoming RHEL 5.3 or other future release. Post a link in this bugzilla pointing to the new issue to ensure it is not overlooked.

For any additional questions, speak with your Partner Manager.
