During RSCN storms, some instances of LIP on SLI-3 adapters lead to a situation where FLOGIs keep failing with firmware indicating an illegal command error code. This situation was preceded by an ADISC completion that was processed while the link was down. This path on SLI-3 performs a CLEAR_LA and attempts to activate a VPI with REG_VPI. Later, as the FLOGI completes, it's no longer in sync with the VPI state. In SLI-3 it is illegal to have an active VPI during FLOGI. Resolve by circumventing the SLI-3 path that performs the CLEAR_LA and REG_VPI. The path will be taken after the FLOGI after the next Link Up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
