The scsi netlink patch set (not fc_transport) that was referenced really needs the associated bugfix for scsi_host_lookup. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121822338501336&w=2 This has been pulled into Bottomley's scsi-misc-2.6 tree. James, Do you have any idea on when James might merge the netlink code into scsi-misc? Nope. Given Q, the original requester/poster sees it as workable, I don't think there's any issue. I'll ping him. Neither of these patches applies properly to RHEL 5.2. Please port them to 5.2 and post them here. Thanks. I've recut the patches for the 5.2 kernel. We're busy testing them now, but as it's late in the day, we may not have results until Tuesday. I can post the un-tested patches if desired. Yes, please post them.

Reworked version of scsi_host_lookup() patch

Reworked version of scsi_netlink patch
Any status on testing of the patches, Emulex? Testing has shown that the patch is working as expected. I was able to get the lpfc driver loaded and communicating across the SCSI netlink socket without any changes to the submitted patch. Both of the patches, corresponding to comments #11 and #12, have been pulled by James Bottomley into the scsi-misc-2.6 git tree. in kernel-2.6.18-111.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 ~~ Snapshot 3 is now available ~~ Snapshot 3 is now available for Partner Testing, which should contain a fix that resolves this bug. ISO's available as usual at ftp://partners.redhat.com. Your testing feedback is vital! Please let us know if you encounter any NEW issues (file a new bug) or if you have VERIFIED the fix is present and functioning as expected (add PartnerVerified Keyword). Ping your Partner Manager with any additional questions. Thanks! ~~ Attention ~~ Snapshot 4 is now available for testing @ partners.redhat.com ~~ Partners, it is vital that we get your testing feedback on this important bug fix / feature request. If you are unable to test, please clearly indicate this in a comment to this bug or directly with your partner manager. If we do not receive your test feedback, this bug is at risk from being dropped from the release. If you have VERIFIED the fix, please add PartnerVerified to the Bugzilla Keywords field, along with a description of the test results. If you encounter a new bug, CLONE this bug and request from your Partner manager to review. We are no longer excepting new bugs into the release, bar critical regressions. Emulex, what is the current status of this bug fix? The fix should be present in the latest RHEL5.3 Snapshot. Please test and send feedback ASAP. Yes, it looks good.
