SubjectRe: [4.5-rc4 Regression] qla2xxx: Add irq affinity notification
Date
Joe,

How do I get access to this specific Ubuntu kernel where the bug is found? Is there stack trace/bug report that you could share? Any data would be helpful. Thanks.

In the mean time, I will download 4.5 rc4 to re-verify.

Regards,
Quinn Tran
