Hi James and Dick, thanks for this patch. We were investigating a pretty
similar issue, and we raised a patch that looks like yours.
Since you sent this one, we reviewed and seems it's missing a hunk to
prevent the issue we are dealing here, in PCI error recovery.
Please see the attached patch. Basically, lpfc is dereferencing a NULL
pointer on PCI error recovery path in lpfc_els_flush_cmd(). Feel free to
take this hunk on your patch, or if you prefer we can send a complete patch.
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
