Enabling list_debug showed the drivers txcmplq was suffering list corruption. The systems will eventually crash because the iocb free list gets crossed linked with the prings txcmplq. Most systems will run for a while after the corruption, but will eventually crash when a scsi eh reset occurs and the txcmplq is attempted to be flushed. The flush gets stuck in an endless loop. The problem is the abort handler does not hold the sli4 ring lock while validating the IO so the IO could complete while the driver is still preping the abort. The erroneously generated abort, when it completes, has pointers to the original IO that has already completed, and the IO manipulation (for the second time) corrupts the list. Correct by taking the ring lock early in the abort handler so the erroneous abort won't be sent if the io has/is completing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
