Bug#828973: Kernel crash with older QLogic Fibre Channel cards
Package: linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64
Version: 4.6.2-2
Kernel crashes as soon as qla2xxx driver is loaded (and using older
QLogic Fibre Channel card without MSI-X support). This was already
reported in Ubuntu [1] and LKML [2]. There is a very simple patch
available on LKML.
The author of the patch was supposed to submit it upstream, but it
still didn't happen. Given that this makes servers with older QLogic
cards unusable since 4.5.0 maybe it can be applied in Debian.
