in kernel-2.6.32-71.4.1.el6
Cannot reproduce this issue with "Emulex LPe12002-M8". It's firmware version is : 1.11A5 (U3D1.11A5), sli-3 Kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 Reboot 5 times, no lpfc kernel panic came out. As comment #1 spot out: >Emulex believes there is exposure to this issue in large SAN environment where >the device discovery process could see delayed responses which result in iocbs >being queued. Do we need a large SAN environment to reproduce this issue?

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, timing issues could cause the FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) FLOGIs to timeout even if there were no problems. This caused the kernel to go into a non-FIP mode even though it should have been in the FIP mode. With this update, the timing issues no longer occur and the kernel no longer switches to the non-FIP mode when logging to the Fibre Channel Switch/Forwarder.
