Created attachment 390599 [details]
Set of patches for LPFC 8.2.0.63.2p to 8.2.0.63.3p

Set of patches to update Emulex lpfc driver to 8.2.0.63.3p (applies on top of
8.2.0.63.2p, see Bug 557792).

This patch-set consists of individual patches, as requested by Red Hat.

This patch-set mainly adds BE3 hardware support to the LPFC driver.

The corresponding patches have been pushed upstream as part of the 8.3.9 LPFC driver submission.

Comment 1 Vaios Papadimitriou 2010-02-12 22:23:03 UTC
This patch-set includes the following changes:

        * Changed version number to 8.2.0.63.3p
        * Fix driver build issues with the new RHEL5.5 kernel sources
        * Relax Event Queue field checking to allow non-zero minor codes
        * Implement the PORT_CAPABITIES mailbox command
        * Add support for new SLI features
        * Add support for PCI BAR region 0 if BAR0 is a 64 bit register

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-02-15 16:18:50 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.

Hi Vaois,

Can you reply here and provide a breif description for r7435_r7371.patch in the attached tarball?

Thanks, Rob

Comment 4 Vaios Papadimitriou 2010-02-16 16:45:34 UTC
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.

Comment 7 Rob Evers 2010-02-16 20:43:04 UTC
Laurie,

Can you update the technical notes for the functionality here.

Thanks, Rob

Bug state changed from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
 Sanity only. The patches are being applied in kernel-2.6.18-190.el5.
 bug 555604 and bug 557792 seems related, should I update it's states too?
