If multiple IPA commands are build & sent out concurrently, fill_ipacmd_header() may assign a seqno value to a command that's different from what send_control_data() later assigns to this command's reply. This is due to other commands passing through send_control_data(), and incrementing card->seqno.ipa along the way. So one IPA command has no reply that's waiting for its seqno, while some other IPA command has multiple reply objects waiting for it. Only one of those waiting replies wins, and the other(s) times out and triggers a recovery via send_ipa_cmd(). Fix this by making sure that the same seqno value is assigned to a command and its reply object. Do so immediately before submitting the command & while holding the irq_pending "lock", to produce nicely ascending seqnos. As a side effect, *all* IPA commands now use a reply object that's waiting for its actual seqno. Previously, early IPA commands that were submitted while the card was still DOWN used the "catch-all" IDX seqno. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
