Andrew,

Attached is a patch to the qla3xxx driver in your -mm test kernel. This patch makes the following changes:

-Removed potential infinite loop in ql_sem_spinlock().
-Relaxed hardware locking granularity.
-Fixed irq_request() where shared flag was used in MSI environment.
-Removed queue containing TX control blocks. This resource has a one to one correspondence to each entry in the TX queue.
-Removed unnecessary tx_lock.
-Changed version to v2.02.00-k36.

The above changes plus the changes from the k35 patch address Jeff Garzik's concerns from his response. His response can be reviewed at this URL:

This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel.

Send me a patch via private email (for size reasons), include a proper Signed-off-by line per http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html and I will merge this driver straightaway.

        Jeff
