Error description
Oversized SCSI requests received by an adapter running Fibre Channel Target Mode will cause Target Mode resources to be leaked. If all the resources leak due to oversized requests, the adapter will fail to process Target Mode messages until it has been unconfigured and reconfigured. Only Fibre Channel adapters configured for Target Mode are susceptible to this problem. That is, only adapters with the 'tme' attribute value set to 'yes'.
Local fix
Problem summary
Oversized SCSI requests received by an adapter running Fibre Channel Target Mode will cause Target Mode resources to be leaked.

Only Fibre Channel adapters configured for Target Mode are susceptible to this problem. That is, only adapters with the 'tme' attribute value set to 'yes'.
Problem conclusion
The Fibre Channel Target Mode device driver is updated to handle the continuation messages generated by the adapter when oversized requests are received.
