<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Some questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When you mention low-level driver you are speaking of the HCA driver?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Does the CL_ASSERT() fire if the registry entry ioc_poll_interval == 30000?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Is the system which CL_ASSERT()’ed attached to a fabric which has an IB target device (IOC/IOU)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What user-level events occurred before the HCA was disabled? Anything interesting? Perhaps a ‘devcon rescan’?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If p_ctx is NULL then the port object has been destroyed. The issue, I’m guessing at this point, might be a race between PNP and port_destroy()?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A missing lock call perhaps?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Will let you know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">When disabling the drive an ASSERT is popup. The ASSERT is in following code in port_mgr_pnp_cb function</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I noticed that in the port_mgr_port_remove there is a check if the ctx is valid or not. So I guess it’s a known issue that can happen. For now I removed the assert in our code.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Please take a look in the code and see if it’s valid fix (if so please change ofw code accordingly) or debug the issue. It happens when disable \enable the low level driver.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
