RE: [PATCH v4 2/4] fusion: remove iopriority handling

RE: [PATCH] mpt3sas: fix possible NULL dereference

We need to do some more changes in this. The concept is first pool alloc and then memory alloc in the pool, so the memory has to be freed if the memory is allocated in the pool and irrespective of memory allocated or not the pool has to be destroyed if it is created. We will work internally and p

RE: [PATCH] mpt3sas: Do scsi_remove_host() before deleting SAS PHY objects

Our understanding is the relationship between the SCSI host and SAS end devices is a parent-child and before ripping of SCSI host we need to rip of all the children. Why the enclosure ends up trying to re-parent the SCSI device from the enclosure to the SAS PHY even after we remove the SAS Phy?. Do
