Hi Vaois, Can you reply here and provide a breif description for r7435_r7371.patch in the attached tarball? Thanks, Rob
This r7435_r7371.patch essentially addressed a merge/build issue in our 8.2.0.x driver stream, related to the way we merge/propagate our driver updates from the upstream LPFC driver code stream to the 8.2.0.x driver code stream. This patch fixed a build error that was caused by r7363 (merged from the upstream code stream). Basically r7363 changed a structure and the 8.2.0.x had one more usage of the changed field than the upstream code stream. And since, for this RHEL5.5 in-box driver series of submissions, as requested we include a set of patches that correspond to individual checkins to our code stream, this r7435_r7371.patch became visible.
Laurie, Can you update the technical notes for the functionality here. Thanks, Rob
