[PATCH v2 0/4] qla2xxx: A couple crash fixes

[Daniel Wagner]

changes since v1:

 - added dummy warn function to patch#1
 - added log entry to patch#4

as suggested by Martin



Initial cover letter:

The first crash we observed is due memory corruption in the srb memory
pool. Unforuntatly, I couldn't find the source of the problem but the
workaround by resetting the cleanup callbacks 'fixes' this problem
(patch #1). I think as intermeditate step this should be merged until
the real cause can be identified.

The second crash is due a race condition(?) in the firmware. The sts
entries are not updated in time which leads to this crash pattern
which several customers have reported:

 #0 [c00000ffffd1bb80] scsi_dma_unmap at d00000001e4904d4 [scsi_mod]
 #1 [c00000ffffd1bbe0] qla2x00_sp_compl at d0000000204803cc [qla2xxx]

 #9 [c00000ffffd1bf60] __do_irq at c000000000018784
 #10 [c00000ffffd1bf90] call_do_irq at c00000000002caa4
 #11 [c00000ecca417a00] do_IRQ at c000000000018970
 #12 [c00000ecca417a50] restore_check_irq_replay at c00000000000de98

>From analyzing the crash dump it was clear that
qla24xx_mbx_iocb_entry() calls sp->done (qla2x00_sp_compl) which
crashes because the response is not a mailbox entry, it is a status
entry. Patch #4 changes the process logic for mailbox commands so that
the sp is parsed before calling the correct proccess function.

Thanks,
Daniel
