SLI_CTNS_RFF_ID was added last in 2fb9bd8 and moved to the top in 92d7f7b with the comment "Do this first!". Now it's moved back. The libfc code suggests this is correct because it uses the same order. qla2xxx on the other hand uses RFT_ID, RFF_ID, RNN_ID, RSNN_NN, but in any case RFF_ID follows RFT_ID. Sebastian
The order (it's a shall, but hard to dictate after the fact) is given in FC-SCM - kind of. SCM indicates what shall be implemented, lists it as (a), (b), (c), but actually doesn't say it has to be in that order. The only hard requirement, called out in FCP-4, is that you must register your FC-4 Type (via RFT_ID) before registering FC-4 Type Features (via RFF_ID), which makes sense. We obviously violated this above and there were some switches (or newer fw in them) that enforced it. The other rule of thumbs are: register your data with the switch first, then register for SCRs, then do queries about the fabric, with the SCRs telling you of changes post the queries.
