[SCSI] qla4xxx: Throttle active IOCBs to firmware limits
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Problem:
QLA4xxx firmware may assert if given more IOCBs than it can handle.

Solution:
The driver was updated to throttle the number of active IOCBs based
on the total number of IOCB buffers received from get_firmware_status
mbx_sts[2].
