This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Hi Vaois, Can you reply here and provide a breif description for r7435_r7371.patch in the attached tarball? Thanks, Rob This r7435_r7371.patch essentially addressed a merge/build issue in our 8.2.0.x driver stream, related to the way we merge/propagate our driver updates from the upstream LPFC driver code stream to the 8.2.0.x driver code stream. This patch fixed a build error that was caused by r7363 (merged from the upstream code stream). Basically r7363 changed a structure and the 8.2.0.x had one more usage of the changed field than the upstream code stream. And since, for this RHEL5.5 in-box driver series of submissions, as requested we include a set of patches that correspond to individual checkins to our code stream, this r7435_r7371.patch became visible. Laurie, Can you update the technical notes for the functionality here. Thanks, Rob in kernel-2.6.18-190.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5 Please update the appropriate value in the Verified field (cf_verified) to indicate this fix has been successfully verified. Include a comment with verification details. Bug state changed from ON_QA to VERIFIED. Sanity only. The patches are being applied in kernel-2.6.18-190.el5. bug 555604 and bug 557792 seems related, should I update it's states too? An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0178.html |
