Description Marcus Barrow 2007-12-20 02:43:00 UTC
A fix was introduced in September to prevent infinite login retries.
As no good deed goes unpunished this fix introduced a bug where the
HBA's loop address could be cleared when the re-login was successful.

The fix checks to make sure that the loop address is only cleared when
the re-login fails.

This patch is tested at QLogic and is in queue to be submitted upstream.
