[SCSI] aacraid: Series 7 Async. (performance) mode support

2012-07-20T07:59:04Z

- Series 7 Async. (performance) mode support added - New scatter/gather list format for Series 7 - Driver converts s/g list to a firmware suitable list for best performance on Series 7, this can be disabled with driver parameter "aac_convert_sgl" for testing purposes - New container read/write command structure for Series 7 - Fast response support for the SCSI pass-through path added - Async. status response buffer changes Signed-off-by: Mahesh Rajashekhara Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] aacraid: Use resource_size_t for IO mem pointers and offsets

2012-07-20T07:58:43Z

This also stops using the "legacy crap" in Scsi_Host (shost->base is an unsigned long). This affected 32-bit systems that have 64-bit resource sizes, causing the IO address to be truncated. Signed-off-by: Ben Collins Acked-by: Achim Leubner Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] aacraid: Added Sync.mode to support series 7/8/9 controllers

2012-02-19T14:09:01Z

Added Sync. mode to support Series 7/8/9 controller families: This is a compatibility mode for all these controller families. The Async. (Performance) mode can be changed in the future. First Async. mode version added for Series 7; Controller parameter aac_sync_mode added Signed-off-by: Mahesh Rajashekhara Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] aacraid: Add new code for PMC-Sierra's SRC based controller family

2011-03-23T16:36:58Z

Added new hardware device 0x28b interface for PMC-Sierra's SRC based controller family. - new src.c file for 0x28b specific functions - new XPORT header required - sync. command interface: doorbell bits shifted (SRC_ODR_SHIFT, SRC_IDR_SHIFT) - async. Interface: different inbound queue handling, no outbound I2O queue available, using doorbell ("PmDoorBellResponseSent") and response buffer on the host ("host_rrq") for status - changed AIF (adapter initiated FIBs) interface: "DoorBellAifPending" bit to inform about pending AIF, "AifRequest" command to read AIF, "NoMoreAifDataAvailable" to mark the end of the AIFs Signed-off-by: Mahesh Rajashekhara Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] aacraid: add an ifdef'd device delete case instead of taking the device offline

2010-05-17T02:58:27Z

Problem description: -------------------- The problem reported by one of the customer was when a logical array is deleted(from the SDK, from the GUI, from arcconf) then the corresponding physical device (/dev/sdb, for example) is not removed from the Linux namespace. So you end up with a "dead" device entry. And some of the linux tools go slightly wonky. Solution: --------- Based on the notification from FW, the driver calls "scsi_remove_device" for the DELETED drive. This call not only informs the scsi device status to the SCSI mid layer and also it will remove corresponding scsi device entries from the Linux sysfs.

[SCSI] aacraid: respond automatically to volumes added by config tool

2010-05-17T02:28:04Z

Problem description: -------------------- When the JBOD is created from the OS using Adaptec Storage Manager utility device is not available under FDISK until a system restart is done. Solution: --------- AIF handling: If there is a JBOD drive added to the system, identify the old one with scsi_device_lookup() and remove it to enable a fresh scsi_add_device(); else the new JBOD is not available until reboot.

[SCSI] aacraid: fix File System going into read-only mode

2010-01-17T18:16:17Z

These particular problems were reported by Cisco and SAP and customers as well. Cisco reported on RHEL4 U6 and SAP reported on SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2. We added these fixes on RHEL4 U6 and gave a private build to IBM and Cisco. Cisco and IBM tested it for more than 15 days and they reported that they did not see the issue so far. Before the fix, Cisco used to see the issue within 5 days. We generated a patch for SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2 and submitted to Novell. Novell applied the patch and gave a test build to SAP. SAP tested and reported that the build is working properly. We also tested in our lab using the tools "dishogsync", which is IO stress tool and the tool was provided by Cisco. Issue1: File System going into read-only mode Root cause: The driver tends to not free the memory (FIB) when the management request exits prematurely. The accumulation of such un-freed memory causes the driver to fail to allocate anymore memory (FIB) and hence return 0x70000 value to the upper layer, which puts the file system into read only mode. Fix details: The fix makes sure to free the memory (FIB) even if the request exits prematurely hence ensuring the driver wouldn't run out of memory (FIBs). Issue2: False Raid Alert occurs When the Physical Drives and Logical drives are reported as deleted or added, even though there is no change done on the system Root cause: Driver IOCTLs is signaled with EINTR while waiting on response from the lower layers. Returning "EINTR" will never initiate internal retry. Fix details: The issue was fixed by replacing "EINTR" with "ERESTARTSYS" for mid-layer retries.
