2007-04-17[SCSI] aacraid: fix aacraid not finding deviceSalyzyn, Mark
Thanks for the help from Steve Fox and Duane Cox investigating this issue, I'd like to report that we found the problem. The issue is with the patch Steve Fox isolated below, by not accommodating older adapters properly and issuing a command they do not support when retrieving storage parameters about the arrays. This simple patch resolves the problem (and more accurately mimics the logic of the original code before the patch).

2007-04-17[SCSI] scsi_error.c: Add EH Start Unit retryBrian King
Currently, the scsi error handler will issue a START_UNIT command if the drive indicates it needs its motor started and the allow_restart flag is set in the scsi_device. If, after the scsi error handler invokes a host adapter reset due to error recovery, a device is in a unit attention state AND also needs a START_UNIT, that device will be placed offline. The disk array devices on an ipr RAID adapter will do exactly this when in a dual initiator configuration. This patch adds a single retry to the EH initiated START_UNIT.

2007-04-01[SCSI] aacraid: [Fastboot] Panics for AACRAID driver during 'insmod' for ↵Salyzyn, Mark
kexec test. Attached is the patch I feel will address this issue. As an added 'perk' I have also added the code to detect if the controller was previously initialized for interrupted operations by ANY operating system should the reset_devices kernel parameter not be set and we are dealing with a naïve kexec without the addition of this kernel parameter. The reset handler is also improved. Related to reset operations, but not pertinent specifically to this issue, I have also altered the handling somewhat so that we reset the adapter if we feel it is taking too long (three minutes) to start up. We have not unit tested the reset_devices flag propagation to this driver code, nor have we unit tested the check for the interrupted operations under the conditions of a naively issued kexec. We are submitting this modified driver to our Q/A department for integration testing in our current programs. I would appreciate an ACK to this patch should it resolve the issue described in this thread...

2007-04-01[SCSI] ipr: Fix for oops following SATA request senseBrian King
This patch fixes a problem discovered on a system with some bad SATA devices attached. If a command to a SATAPI device times out and the device gets reset as part of error recovery, its possible that ipr will set err_mask to indicate a device error has occurred. If this happens, a request sense will get issued by libata. Since scsi core thinks this scsi command is now completed, because the device reset handler completed successfully, scsi core will free the associated scsi command, which may cause an oops when that request sense is completed later by ipr. This patch ensures that any commands that get aborted as a result of a device reset set err_mask appropriately so that the request sense does not get sent.

2007-04-01[SCSI] aacraid: fix print of Firmware Build Date and add TSIDSalyzyn, Mark
The Adapter build date that is to be printed on instantiation was not displayed as a result of the supplemental adapter information structure not being in sync with the Firmware; the driver took an early test cycle version that had a miss-sized padded region at the head and the structure was not re-checked at the end of qualification. The Build Date was not a priority and is merely a cosmetic enhancement, and the wrong location for the start of the structure member would not induce any side-effect problems. We updated the structure to match the actual format, and added the TSID (Tech Support Identification) value print, should it be present, to the adapter instantiation announcements during driver load. This later enhancement should improve the relationship between Service folk & Tech Support if the printed value of the TSID found it's way into the circular file labeled G...

2007-04-01[SCSI] lpfc: fix oops when parsing dodgy VPDAnton Blanchard
We have seen two cases where VPD on an emulex card has been incorrect and we end up walking off the end of memory. It looks like someone made an update (increased the length of a string) without increasing the Length field. Then we do: Length -= (3+i); And since Length is unsigned it becomes very large and we loop forever in the encapsulating: while (Length > 0) { If we make Length signed then we fall out of the loop and proceed on. Its important to note we have only seen this in the lab and it may be the only two cases of this in existence, but since the rest of the code has been written to be resilient against bad VPD we may as well fix this too.

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.

Received from Mark Salyzyn, The aac_probe_container call blocks. This is an issue because it is called on occasion in the context of the queuecommand handler. Once in a blue moon this has resulted in a kernel panic sleeping during interrupt; or problems with some embedded system versions of the kernel that depend on queuecommand to not block. This ugly patch rewrites the aac_probe_container call into a new routine _aac_probe_container that is an asynchronous state machine to complete the series of operations. The legacy blocking aac_probe_container call used in other areas of the driver (during initialization scanning for all targets and in the separate hot-add/remove [aacraid] thread) merely issues _aac_probe_container and then simple spins calling schedule() waiting for completion.
