RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Venkata Siva Vijayendra Bhamidipati 2010-05-23 22:45:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently, if a target sends multiple back-to-back LOGO's, we try to process all of them irrespective of the status of processing of prior LOGOs, which results in an oops in fc_rport_work() in libfc -

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:38:35 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 10 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-07-15 17:56:24 UTC 
This is the first I've seen/heard of this. Cisco states this is a blocker since these patches fix crashes. Just received this info.

Actually, I am not sure if it is snap 8. The bugzilla is here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603263
The kernel it got merged in is kernel-2.6.32-42.el6
Comment 13 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-07-15 21:48:05 UTC 
I'm going to dupe this to bug 603263 and request access to that.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 603263 ***
Comment 14 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-07-15 22:01:35 UTC 
Bug 603263 should now be accessible by Cisco. Add yourselves as you see fit.
