Re: [PATCH 1/3] scsi: lpfc: Fix race conditions in ELS retry handling

[Paul Ely]

Hello Daniel,

I have been testing Patch 1 of 3 for a while now but no reproduction.  I reviewed Patch 1 of 3 yesterday with Justin and we think it needs some minor rework.  The hbalock is not required around the bitops functions but generally, yes, it does seem to 

close a hole with ELS Delay retry.  I wanted to review the logs again today to see what is necessary to get this race in the first place because Broadcom stresses this path a lot during our testing and we just don't see this.  Our reproduction of this issue

on x86 and P10 with the Avocado framework did not produce the same crash either; the crashes were very different.

Is a bug opened at SUSE for the crash?  I would like to see what testing SUSE is doing to produce this.

Paul

Any updates here? We just started to see crashes in our QA which
show the same backtrace. I am going to ship these patches to our QA to
see if it addresses the issue we are seeing. But it would be great to
get this reviewed too.

Thanks,
Daniel
