Comment 5 for bug 1455871

Note that, differently from what was request in the BUG description, I can't back port newer version to LTS Ubuntu Versions. I have to find commits that were responsible for fixing erratic behaviour and make sure all versions are fixed and, possibly, work together with the core team to upstream version for Willy (Ubuntu development version nowadays).

Could you please provide:

- Server Type
- HBA Type
- Kernel Version

I could NOT reproduce this behaviour in a Proliant server with "mlx4_en: Mellanox ConnectX HCA Ethernet driver v2.2-1 (Feb 2014)". So I'll rely on feedbacks in this case for proposing the SRU.

For now I have back-ported the following upstream commits:

    Stop reading VPD data once VPD-R section has been read
    Mellanox cards were taking too long to read entire VPD

AND Will inform a PPA to be tested soon.

Thank you
