The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.1-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to <[email protected]> and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] qla2xxx: added sess generations to detect RSCN update races

RSCN processing in qla2xxx driver can run in parallel with ELS/IO processing. As such the decision to remove disappeared fc port's session could be stale, because a new login sequence has occurred since and created a brand new session.

Previous mechanism of dealing with this by delaying deletion request was prone to erroneous deletions if the event that was supposed to cancel the deletion never arrived or has been delayed in processing.

New mechanism relies on a time-like generation counter to serialize RSCN updates relative to ELS/IO updates.
