Hi Tony,

Thanks for reporting the issue. We are trying to recreate this issue in 
house. I will reach out to you for logs, if we cannot repro. Typically, we 
get sufficient context to the issue when the problem is reproduced with 
module parameter "ql2xextended_error_logging=1".

Anyway, I will let you know the status.

Regards,
-Arun
