Hi, Randy & James,

The cxgb3i driver was using the skb->sp for some internal stuff. I have just submitted a patch to remove the usage of it since it is not really related to the secure path.

The patch is submitted to the list (http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123061555414193&w=2) and is also attached here.

Sorry for the late response, I am traveling this week.

Thanks,
Karen

That's correct. config file is now attached.
