From b59e64d0ddb756af57ea032383bfd393a286a8e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Reinecke Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 22:02:06 +0200 Subject: cciss: Ignore stale commands after reboot When doing an unexpected shutdown like kexec the cciss firmware might still have some commands in flight, which it is trying to complete. The driver is doing it's best on resetting the HBA, but sadly there's a firmware issue causing the firmware _not_ to abort or drop old commands. So the firmware will send us commands which we haven't accounted for, causing the driver to panic. With this patch we're just ignoring these commands as there is nothing we could be doing with them anyway.
