Title:
Vport creation leads to out of memory and server hung on Ubuntu
18.04.3 on Broadcom FC HBAs
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Jeff,
We have analyzed this issue and see that there are 3 missing patches
required to fix this problem. Otherwise vport creation >3 (depending
on the customers configuration) will result in a hang for FC or
NVMe/FC adapters.
Please pull these changes into the next hardware release.
These are the missing commits:
959239d [scsi] scsi: core: avoid pre-allocating big SGL for data
5418f2f [scsi] scsi: core: avoid pre-allocating big SGL for protection
information
250f285 [nvme] scsi: lib/sg_pool.c: improve APIs for allocating sg pool
