Normally, the MPI firmware is reset when an MPI dump is collected. If an unsaved MPI dump exists in the driver, though, an alternate mechanism is used. This mechanism, which was not fully correct, is not recommended and instead an MPI dump template walk is suggested to perform the MPI reset. To allow for the MPI dump template walk, extra space is reserved in the MPI dump buffer which gets used only when there is already an MPI dump in place.

Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Instructions for building and installing SCST are available in the INSTALL.md file.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project. The driver in the qla2x00t directory is a very stable driver that supports up to 16 Gb/s adapters. It is very stable, well tested and actively used in many production setups.
There is also a newer driver that supports 32 Gb/s FC in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. That driver has not yet reached the same maturity level as the old qla2x00t driver.
