    scsi: lpfc: Fix RQ buffer leakage when no IOCBs available · 39c4f1a9
    James Smart authored
    The driver is occasionally seeing the following SLI Port error, requiring
    reset and reinit:
    
     Port Status Event: ... error 1=0x52004a01, error 2=0x218
    
    The failure means an RQ timeout. That is, the adapter had received
    asynchronous receive frames, ran out of buffer slots to place the frames,
    and the driver did not replenish the buffer slots before a timeout
    occurred. The driver should not be so slow in replenishing buffers that a
    timeout can occur.
    
    When the driver received all the frames of a sequence, it allocates an IOCB
    to put the frames in. In a situation where there was no IOCB available for
    the frame of a sequence, the RQ buffer corresponding to the first frame of
    the sequence was not returned to the FW. Eventually, with enough traffic
    encountering the situation, the timeout occurred.
    
    Fix by releasing the buffer back to firmware whenever there is no IOCB for
    the first frame.
