kernel log with error logging enabled
I have a problem bringing up a fibrechannel connection when I'm using older
Qlogic controllers. There are two that I tried that have issues, a PCI board
with a SP202 chipset, and a PCI-X board with an ISP2312 chipset. PCI-e boards
with a ISP2432 chipset are okay.
The problem is that the connection will not come up correctly, and that the
kernel logfile is flooded with messages like this as soon as the link is up:

Kernels 4.4.128 and 4.9.6 have no issues. Starting with the 4.14.44 kernel I
see this problem, i'm not sure in which kernel this was introduced. The 4.16.11
kernel behaves a little bit different in that I get the error messages once per
second, so that version does not flood the logfile but still fails.
I created an extended logfile with ql2xextended_error_logging enabled (see
attachment).
The logfile was created on a san with multiple systems and one san storage
controller, the problem however can also be reproduced when only a single
switch is connected to the adapter and nothing else.
