[PATCH 6.6.y v2 0/2] scsi: lpfc: Backport SFP mailbox timeout handling

[Artem Dinaburg]

Hi Sasha and lpfc maintainers,

Thanks for catching the SLI3 overflow in v1.

This v2 takes the ext_buf portion of upstream commit 115d137aa918 first.
That leaves the SLI3 response in the existing 1,024-byte DMA buffer while
ctx_buf continues to point to the descriptor used by cleanup. Patch 2 then
backports the original CVE-2024-46842 fix from ede596b1434b.

Could you please queue these two patches for 6.6.y?

Changes in v2:
- replace the unsafe ctx_buf restoration with the ext_buf prerequisite;
- send the prerequisite and CVE fix as a two-patch series;
- keep the generic upstream ownership race out of this backport; and
- rebase and rebuild after the current 6.6 stable queue.

Thanks,
