Subject: [PATCH 25/27] libfcoe: reorder FCF list to put latest advertiser first
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:20:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101201002007.18369.33898.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101201001756.18369.7107.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Joe Eykholt <jeykholt@cisco.com>

When there are several FCFs to choose from, the one most likely
to accept a FLOGI on certian switches is the one that last
answered a multicast solicit.

So, when receiving an advertisement, move the FCF to the front
of the list so that it gets chosen first among those with the
same priority.

Without this, more FLOGIs need to be sent in a test with
multiple FCFs and a switch in NPV mode, but it still
eventually finds one that accepts the FLOGI.
