Description Neil Horman 2011-03-10 20:31:28 UTC

Description of problem:
Need to backport the common vpd commits from these upstream commits:
4067a8541d397e9d6b443dd2ce0ecb78bfd991db
e1d5bdabb94da89bdb3c3f2ee105cf61fca88ec8

a2ce766238f72ff7337606c0bc96803c30c9e05c


They are common to getting tg3 and bnx2 and usefull in reducing duplicated code in their vpd managment.

Test build to validate backports

These bits are necessary for a number of 5.7 network driver updates, flag bz accordingly.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-03-21 16:29:09 UTC

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.

Comment 6 Jarod Wilson 2011-03-25 18:52:24 UTC

Patch(es) available in kernel-2.6.18-251.el5
Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed.

Comment 11 Neil Horman 2011-06-28 13:37:56 UTC

yeah, then everything is fine, it just means that particular card does have vpd that can be read.  This change doesn't 'fix' anything explicitly, it just makes backporting upstream code easier as we move forward.  You should just mark this as SanityOnly or some such.
