Patch 1 sends a link reset for port1 following a login timeout error. This same fix was delivered previously for port0.

Patch 2 provides feedback to applications so that they may know when it is acceptable to perform an I/O retry for a virtual LUN.

== Comment: #5 - Matthew R. Ochs <email address hidden> - 2015-11-04 16:25:54 ==
These patches are not yet upstreamed but will be as part of the 4.4 'rc' phase.

While comparing the pre-merge cxlflash SAUCE patches in Wily to upstream in Xenial (current as of Linus bd4f203e433387d39be404b67ad02acf6f76b7bc), I noticed that 'UBUNTU: SAUCE: (noup) cxlflash: a couple off by one bugs' did not make it upstream. I've applied to it Xenial for now, but perhaps this oversight needs some attention ? I don't see it staged in linux-next either.

That patch originated from someone in the community and thus was not something my team directly submitted. It's not a critical patch at the moment but something we'd like to have. I'll reach out to the maintainer to see why he didn't pick it up.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-wily' to 'verification-done-wily'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

FYI that this patch is upstream now:
