inbound completions will not be handled and passed to the TCP/IP stack.


How reproducible:

vconfig add ethx 5
ifconfig ethx.5 192.168.2.30 (or some IP address)

Patch to fix 4032 inbound VLAN bug

This patch will clear bit-8 in the inbound completion opcode so that the packet
will be handled properly.

Comment 2 Andrius Benokraitis 2007-08-22 02:55:11 UTC
Ron, are you planning a larger qla3xxx driver update for RHEL 5.2?

Comment 3 Ron Mercer 2007-08-22 15:27:10 UTC
Andrius,
There are no plans for new features.  Other than this VLAN bug we found on the 
4032 we have nothing outstanding.  That is why I didn't fill out a feature BZ 
before the deadline last week.  Please let me know if I missed something.
Thanks, Ron

Comment 4 Ron Mercer 2007-10-17 16:15:23 UTC
All, Can we drop this in at some point?  It is only relevant to the 4032 chip 
and I don't think there's a lot of them out there, but it's an important fix.  
Also, it's a nop if you're running the 4022 chip.
I am running 2.6.18-53 (from zdickus) and it's not in there yet.
Regards, Ron Mercer

Comment 5 Marcus Barrow 2007-10-17 16:26:58 UTC
Sure, will get it subitted in a day or two. Looks like it
should go into 4.7 as well?

Marcus
