2010-01-17[SCSI] aacraid: fix File System going into read-only modePenchala Narasimha Reddy Chilakala, ERS-HCLTech
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.

2008-05-02[SCSI] aacraid: Fix jbod operations scan issuesMark Salyzyn
As JBOD devices (really just Simple Single Drive Volumes exported to the SCSI channel) are managed, they fail to update correctly when the driver triggers a SCSI scan. In addition, the ability to change multiple arrays or JBODs at the same time was resulting in dropped scans, set up a mechanism to issue a list of single target scans on a single configuration change notification from the Firmware. Performed some additional sundry cosmetic code style cleanups. Signed-off-by: Mark Salyzyn <aacraid@adaptec.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2008-01-23[SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.Salyzyn, Mark
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access. We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage the controller.

2008-01-23[SCSI] aacraid: OS panic after Adapter panic (hardening).Salyzyn, Mark
In experiments in the lab we managed to trigger an Adapter firmware panic (BlinkLED) coincidentally while several pass-through ioctl command from the management software were outstanding on a bug only present on a class of RAID Adapters that require a hardware reset rather than a commanded reset. The net result was an attempt to time out the management software command as if it came from the SCSI layer resulting in an OS panic. Adapters that use commanded reset, management commands are returned failed by the Adapter correctly. The adapter firmware panic that resulted in this condition was also resolved, and there were no adapters in the field with this specific firmware bug so we do not expect any field reports. This is a rare or unlikely corner condition, and no reports have ever been forwarded from the field.

2008-01-23[SCSI] aacraid: fix big endian issuesSalyzyn, Mark
Big endian systems issues discovered in the aacraid driver. Somewhat reverses a patch from November 7th of last year that removed swap operations because they formerly were being assigned to an u8 array when they should have been assigned to an le32 array. This patch is largely inert for any little endian processor architecture. It resolves a bug in delivering the BlinkLED AIF event to registered applications when the adapter or associated hardware was reset due to ill health. A rare corner case occurrence, also largely unnoticed by any as it was a new (untested!) feature.

2008-01-11[SCSI] aacraid: fix driver failure with Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID ↵Salyzyn, Mark
Controller 3/Di As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D9133 it was discovered that the PERC line of controllers lacked a key 64 bit ScatterGather capable SCSI pass-through function. The adapters are still capable of 64 bit ScatterGather I/O commands, but these two can not be mixed. This problem was exacerbated by the introduction of the SCSI Generic access to the DASD physical devices. The fix for users before this patch is applied is aacraid.dacmode=3D0 on the kernel command line to disable 64 bit I/O. The enclosed patch introduces a new adapter quirk and tries to limp along by enabling pass-through in situations where memory is 32 bit addressable on 64 bit machines, or disable the pass-through functions altogether. I expect that the check for 32 bit addressable memory to be controversial in that it can be incorrect in non-Dell non-Intel systems that PERC would never be installed under, the alternative is to disable pass-through in all cases which could be reported as another regression. Pass-through is used for SCSI Generic access to the physical devices, or for the management applications to properly function. In systems where this patch has disabled pass-through because it is unsupportable in combination with I/O performance, the user can choose to enable pass-through by turning off dacmode (aacraid.dacmode=3D0) or limiting the discovered kernel memory (mem=3D4G) with an associated loss in runtime performance. If we chose instead to turn off 64 bit dacmode for the adapters with this quirk, then this would be reported as another regression.

2008-01-11[SCSI] aacraid: forced reset overrideSalyzyn, Mark
Some of our vendors have requested that our adapters ignore the hardware reset attempts during recovery and have enforced this with changes in Adapter Firmware. Some of our customers have requested the option to be able to reset the adapter under adverse adapter failure, we even had a few defects reported here considering it a regression that the Adapter could not be reset. This patch addresses this dichotomy. The user can force the adapter to be reset if it supports the IOP_RESET_ALWAYS command, in cases where the adapter has been programmed to ignore the reset, by setting the aacraid.check_reset parameter to a value of -1. The driver will not reset an Adapter that does not support the reset command(s). This patch also fixes and cleans up some of the logic associated with resetting the adapter.

2007-03-20[SCSI] aacraid: Improved error handlingMark Haverkamp
Received from Mark Salyzyn, This set of fixes improve error handling stability of the driver. A popular manifestation of the problems is an NULL pointer reference in the interrupt handler when referencing portions of the scsi command context, or in the scsi_done handling when an offlined device is referenced. The aacraid driver currently does not get notification of orphaned command completions due to devices going offline. The driver also fails to handle the commands that are finished by the error handler, and thus can complete again later at the hands of the adapter causing situations of completion of an invalid scsi command context. Test Unit Ready calls abort assuming that the abort was successful, but are not, and thus when the interrupt from the adapter occurs, they reference invalid command contexts. We add in a TIMED_OUT flag to inform the aacraid FIB context that the interrupt service should merely release the driver resources and not complete the command up. We take advantage of this with the abort handler as well for select abortable commands. And we detect and react if a command that can not be aborted is currently still outstanding to the controller when reissued by the retry mechanism.

2006-11-22[SCSI] aacraid: Abort management FIBsMark Haverkamp
Received from Mark Salyzyn: Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery is performed. This code is 'clunky' and does not have any real feedback in that the reset could progress before the user application has gotten it's notification of command completion. We put a schedule() call to delay just the right amount for most cases, because we tried a spin and still managed to find cases where we would spin forever waiting for the management application to acknowledge the impending doom surrounding the cause of the BlinkLED. Will cause an oops in the context of the management application if we proceed too quickly. I view this as the lesser of many evils since currently if there are outstanding management ioctls during a need to reset/recover the adapter, the management application just locks up and waits forever. The best practices fix for this problem not going to be simple or easy (at least the fixes I imagine today); and we found a balance between the needs of the driver to proceed, and the applications that locked or confused that would hold back the driver. I just do not like the idea of a kernel oops in an application to deal with low priority, sluggish or misbehaving applications.

Startup_timeout can be increased past the default 3 minute timeout to drop an adapter initialization for systems that have a very large number of targets, or slow to spin-up targets, or a complicated set of array configurations that extend the time for the firmware to declare that it is operational.
