Vlun resize request could fail with cxlflash driver

[bugproxy]

== Comment: #0 - UMA KRISHNAN - 2017-08-28 12:14:12 ==

---Problem Description---

Recently a regression in cxlflash driver was identified and a fix has been upstreamed to kernel.org. We would like to get that included in Xenial 16.04.3 SRU (HWE v4.10 kernel). Even though regression patch is the very last one, I have also listed the missing patches in-between, that are minor and will be easier for further cxlflash updates to Xenial.

---Steps to Reproduce---

 Vlun resize request could fail after updating to a kernel that includes Commit 565180723294 ("scsi: cxlflash: SISlite updates to support 4 ports")

I built a Zesty test kernel with commit 07a191f762a7b8 from linux-next. The test kernel can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1713575/

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

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-zesty' to 'verification-done-zesty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-failed-zesty'.

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!
