Thanks for the note, I'll look into ASAP.
Some questions:
When you mention low-level driver you are speaking of the HCA driver?

Does the CL_ASSERT() fire if the registry entry ioc_poll_interval == 30000?

Is the system which CL_ASSERT()'ed attached to a fabric which has an IB target 
device (IOC/IOU)?

What user-level events occurred before the HCA was disabled? Anything 
interesting? Perhaps a 'devcon rescan'?

If p_ctx is NULL then the port object has been destroyed. The issue, I'm 
guessing at this point, might be a race between PNP and port_destroy()?
A missing lock call perhaps?
Will let you know.

Stan.

Subject: issue with checkin# 3122

Hi Stan,

I adopted your checkin# 3122 - IOC poll on demand.

When disabling the drive an ASSERT is popup. The ASSERT is in  following code 
in port_mgr_pnp_cb function

                                CL_ASSERT( p_ctx );    <== The problematic 
assert
                                if (p_ctx)
                                {
                                                p_bfi = p_ctx->p_bus_filter;
                                                CL_ASSERT( p_bfi );
                                                if 
(p_bfi->p_port_mgr->active_ports > 0)
                                                                cl_atomic_dec( 
&p_bfi->p_port_mgr->active_ports );
                                }
                                port_mgr_port_remove( 
(ib_pnp_port_rec_t*)p_pnp_rec );
                                break;

I noticed that in the port_mgr_port_remove there is a check if the ctx is valid 
or not. So I guess it's a known issue that can happen. For now I removed the 
assert in our code.

Please take a look in the code and see if it's valid fix (if so please change 
ofw code accordingly) or debug the issue. It happens when disable \enable the 
low level driver.
