In configs with a large number of initiators in the same zone (>250), RSCN timeouts are seen when creating or deleting vports: lpfc 0000:07:00.1: 5:(0):0231 RSCN timeout Data: x0 x3 During RSCN processing driver issues GID_FT command to nameserver. A counter for number of simultaneous GID_FT commands is maintained (an unsigned value). The counter is incremented when the GID_FT is issued. If the GID_FT command fails for some reason the driver retries the GID_FT from the completion call back. But the counter was decremented before the retry was issued. When the second GID_FT completes, the callback again tries to decrement the counter, possibly wrapping to a very large non-zero value, which causes the RSCN cleanup code to not execute. Thus the RSCN timeout failure. Do not decrement the counter on a retry. Also add defensive checks to ensure the counter is not decremented if already zero.

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.
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.
