During link bounce testing in a point-to-point topology, the host may
enter a soft lockup on the lpfc_worker thread:
Call Trace:
lpfc_work_done+0x1f3/0x1390 [lpfc]
lpfc_do_work+0x16f/0x180 [lpfc]
kthread+0xc7/0xe0
ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70
The driver was simultaneously setting a combination of flags that caused
lpfc_do_work()to effectively spin between slow path work and new event
data, causing the lockup.
Ensure in the typical wq completions, that new event data flags are set
if the slow path flag is running. The slow path will eventually
reschedule the wq handling.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
