[ Upstream commit ffedeae1fa545a1d07e6827180c3923bf67af59f ]
Issue:
During online Firmware upgrade operations it is possible that MaxDevHandles
filled in IOCFacts may change with new FW. With this we may observe kernel
panics when driver try to access the pd_handles or blocking_handles buffers
at offset greater than the old firmware's MaxDevHandle value.
Fix:
_base_check_ioc_facts_changes() looks for increase/decrease in IOCFacts
attributes during online firmware upgrade and increases the pd_handles,
blocking_handles, etc buffer sizes to new firmware's MaxDevHandle value if
this new firmware's MaxDevHandle value is greater than the old firmware's
MaxDevHandle value.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
