Chad,

Please comment on whether the 2nd patch in set should be removed for now, or updated with an expected but currently TBD update from upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] qla2xxx: Return DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED on reset completion status.

The equivalent patch was backed out of rhel6.

The second patch shouldn't be applied for now, e.g. qla2xxx: Return DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED on reset completion status.  I traced the RHEL 5 SCSI layer return code and it has almost the same behavior as upstream (2.6.35).  The big difference is that we still have scsi_error_handler() in the 2.6.18 kernel so the retries could be slowed slightly but it's probably not worth the risk.
