FC HBA Driver for Linux Kernel 2.6.x Release Notes - QLogic

Changes (continued)ChangeDescriptionFrom 3.03.21 to 3.03.22[ER47281] The system now clears the SCSI Status field in Status IOCB when reporting a transport error (03h).[ER47427][ER47736][ER47597][ER50687]Class 2 builds only. Send PRJT instead of ACK for received Class 2 PLOGI with a D_ID error.MID only. Added support for FCP-2.The ISP firmware operating in target mode can now transition to READY state without waiting for authentication (ADISC/PDISC)from the initiators. This change allows certain switches to complete discovery of the ISP.Firmware no longer reports a fatal firmware error (8002h) if it encounters soft memory errors within the ISP23xx chips.From 3.03.20 to 3.03.21[ER45171] Added SCSI Initiator Mode Support indication to the Login Fabric Port (6fh) and Login Loop Port (74h) Mailbox Command.

If the bit is clear, then the remote port does support Initiator mode operation.[ER46830]MID only. The ISP Target Mode firmware now allows an implicit logout of an initiator port.[ER45076] The Login Loop Port Mailbox IOCB command now returns the Node Name at offset 30h-37h and the Port Name at offset 38h-3fh of the completion IOCB.[ER46638]Added support for Get Link Status Mailbox IOCB.From 3.03.19 to 3.03.20NoneFrom 3.03.18 to 3.03.19[ER43794] Firmware initiated login to Fabric Name Server is now retried if there is a timeout.[ER44240]ISP2322 only.

Corrected race condition if the firmware received an FCP_RSP frame while it was still transmitting data to thetarget.Fixed a condition to correctly handle IOCB timeout calculation during repeated FCP-2 error recovery attempts.MID only. Corrected an issue where a frame was sent with the incorrect S_ID.Improved resource exhaustion handling when a large number of targets are present with heavy IO load.Corrected false errors reported during loopback testing.Fixed firmware to correctly handle received RSCNs that have no Port IDs listed in the payload.Corrected firmware errors (8002h) reported when receiving multiple concurrent IP exchanges per port.MID only. Correctly set S_ID field when sending SCSI task management commands.MID only. Corrected firmware hang condition after numerous link fault injections.MID only. Corrected the retry sending FLOGI to fabric when timeout occurs; it now correctly reports topology information.Corrected an undesired frame sent with payload of zero during Link Init.FC HBA Driver for Linux Kernel 2.6.x Release Notes 3 of 7
