Created attachment 479162 [details] linux-2.6.18-s390-qeth-chpath-change.patch linux-2.6.18-s390-qeth-chpath-change.patch Description: qeth: allow channel path changes in recovery Symptom: qeth device does not recover successfully Problem: Channel path information is determined only when qeth device is grouped. In order to recognize channel path changes during recovery, channel path information has to be re-determined during online setting. One possible change is the number of OSA-supported TCP/IP stacks determining the number of available outbound queues. Switching them from 480 to 1920 results in failing recovery. Solution: Determine channel path capabilities during online setting of the device and reestablish outbound qdio queues during recovery in case the number of OSA-supported TCP/IP stacks has changed. Server architecture(s): System z Server type: s390x General component: kernel Other components involved: No Does the server have the latest GA firmware? Yes. Has the problem been shown to occur on more than one system? Yes. Is a tested patch available? Yes. If yes to the above, has it been approved upstream? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux- 2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d0ff1f52361d714863c49abb721a8714ea4e76d6 What is the latest official Red Hat build on which this bug has been seen?
