This patch modifies lpfc to register for Link Integrity events via the use of an RDF ELS and to perform Link Integrity FPIN logging. Specifically, the driver was modified to: - Format and issue the RDF ELS immediately following SCR registration. This registers the ability of the driver to receive FPIN ELS. - Adds decoding of the FPIN els into the received descriptors, with logging of the Link Integrity event information. After decoding, the ELS is delivered to the scsi fc transport to be delivered to any user-space applications. - To aid in logging, simple helpers were added to create enum to name string lookup functions that utilize the initialization helpers from the fc_els.h header. - Note: base header definitions for the ELS's don't populate the descriptor payloads. As such, lpfc creates it's own version of the structures, using the base definitions (mostly headers) and additionally declaring the descriptors that will complete the population of the ELS.

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.
