Description Chad Dupuis (Cavium) 2010-08-12 13:46:53 UTC
This bz contains three patches:

1. Fix name space conflicts between qla2xxx and qla4xxx.  This has been posted upstream as part of http://marc.info/?l=git-commits-head&m=128096289326765&w=2.  Note that this is only the name space fixes.

2. Add AER support.  This has been pushed upstream already: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128048113322588&w=2.

3. Update the scsi_qla_host struct with callbacks for iSNS support from the QLogic IOCTL module.  The IOCTL module is not inbox so it wouldn't be expected that Red Hat would support it.  However we'd like to get the hooks for it inbox so that we can use the inbox driver on RHEL 5.6 which is the best and preferred solution.

Hi Subhendu,
