- On posting an IO to the firmware, adapter generates an interrupt.
Due to hardware issues, sometimes the adapter fails to generate
the interrupt. This behavior skips updating transmit queue-
counters, which in turn causes the queue full condition. The fix
addresses the queue full condition.
- The fix also reserves a slot in transmit queue for hba reset.
when queue full is observed during IO, there will always be room
to post hba reset command.

Cisco has developed a new PCI HBA interface called sNIC, which stands for
SCSI NIC. This is a new storage feature supported on specialized network
adapter. The new PCI function provides a uniform host interface and abstracts
backend storage.
