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.
