<id>urn:sha1:e8b12f0fb8352237525961f14ec933e915848840</id>
<content type='text'>
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

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.

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.

<title>[SCSI] aacraid: fix File System going into read-only mode</title>

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.
