[PATCH NET-2.6 0/1]qlcnic: bug fix

[Amit Kumar Salecha]

David,
	Apply this fix to net-2.6 tree.
	This patch will give hunk failure while merging to net-next tree.
	Somehow I can't avoid it. Two lines below diff has changed in qlcnic_xmit_frame().

[PATCH NET-2.6 1/1] qlcnic: limit skb frags for non tso packet

[Amit Kumar Salecha]

Machines are getting deadlock in four node cluster environment.
All nodes are accessing (find /gfs2 -depth -print|cpio -ocv > /dev/null)
200 GB storage on a GFS2 filesystem.
This result in memory fragmentation and driver receives 18 frags for
1448 byte packets.
For non tso packet, fw drops the tx request, if it has >14 frags.

Fixing it by pulling extra frags.

Can you PLEASE fix your email.

PLEASE?

Yesterday you spammed us all, and today you've sent three postings
with this subject line.

1) One with the patch, and the proper set of CC:'s (myself, other
   qlogic engineers, netdev, and stable)

2) One with the patch, and a too short CC: list (only netdev and
   stable)

3) And now this email with no actual content and a weird message.

I really can't spend my afternoons sifting through the emails that
spam from qlogic, trying to figure out which ones I should pay
attention to for review, and which ones are spam.

Please resend properly any patches you actually want me to pay
attention to.

If you cannot make sure at this time that the patches will be sent
without incident, sit on them until you can.

Thank you.

Sorry for all this. Yesterday, 1st patch got send to all other than netdev mailing list.
So I resend that to netdev mailing list. I didn't cc all other, as they will receive duplicate email.
In all these header patch got corrupted. Our IT is working on it and soon will resolve all these problem.
I will resend patch with version 2.

I have received this transmission in error.

Please remove this from your footer, otherwise we can not accept any
emails sent from you as actually being allowed to contribute to the
kernel properly :(

Footer will present in my reply to this email. But footer should not be there in patches sent by me.
Can you verify patch version 2 again ? Here http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/90938/ I don't see any footer.
If you see footer with patch version 2, please send me that.

Your footer was not in your patch, correct.  But it was in this email.

And that's the issue, you can't have that footer on emails you send to a
public list where you are going to be collaborating on a public project,
otherwise no one can use anything you say.

Now if you only think that people will just accept your patches, without
being able to have you participate in development and maintance of those
patches (which is required to be done through email), you are mistaken.

So please fix your email issue, otherwise it is not going to work.

Note, other people at qualcomm have fixed this, so you are not alone.

thanks,

greg k-h
