nvme over fc

About this tag
The nvme over fc tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC) technology, including related driver issues and security vulnerabilities. Recent content highlights a Linux kernel memory corruption bug (CVE-2025-68741) in the qla2xxx SCSI driver, which supports QLogic/Marvell Fibre Channel adapters. The fix addresses an allocator mismatch that could lead to memory corruption. While the tag focuses on Linux kernel topics, it is relevant to enterprise storage environments where NVMe over FC is used for high-performance storage area networks. Discussions may involve driver updates, performance tuning, and troubleshooting for FC-based NVMe deployments.
