Summary of Change

	IMPORTANT: IssueID: SR 8606488089 Fixed a critical issue which occurs when using the fclp driver to perform I/O to sequential blocks of one LUN from multiple virtual memory address spaces, such as I/O to a swap device. The issue caused incorrect data to be swapped in and out which may result in application core dumps or kernel panics. The issue is present in `FibrChanl-02` software (fclp driver) versions B.11.23.0706 and B.11.23.0709; version B.11.23.0712 or later incorporates the fix. HP strongly recommends all users of fibre channel HBAs claimed by the fclp driver (AD299A or AD355A) should upgrade to version B.11.23.0712 or later.
