If the driver fails to allocate the contiguous (DMAable) memory for
system reasons, we fail to load the instance, but then we try to free
the <nul> allocation in the cleanup code and we get a panic in
pci_free_consistent(). This is reported against an older kernel, hope
this is relevant for latest/greatest.

The patch is *much* smaller than the description. I am attempting to
answer to those that want to understand an issue that was reported in
May this year.
If a Sunrise Lake based card that requires an alternate reset mechanism
is set up to ignore the commanded IOP_RESET it reports 0x00000010
(IOP_RESET ignored) instead of 0x3803000F (use alternate reset mechanism
to reset all cores), and thus the reset platform function decides to
switch to IOP_RESET_ALWAYS because the reset platform function
parameters indicate that we *need* to reset the card. IOP_RESET_ALWAYS
then responds with the 0x3803000F return code, but alas we treat this as
an error instead of using the alternate reset mechanism (put a 0x03 into
the register offset 0x38). The reset fails, but the fact that the
IOP_RESET_ALWAYS command was issued has put the card in a purposeful
shutdown state in preparation for the alternate hardware reset to be
applied. Yuck.
IOP_RESET is ignored in internal production cards, typically to ensure
that we catch all adapter lockup issues without the driver progressing
further, so this would not appear to be a field issue and thus this
patch was destined to be only in the internal Adaptec source tree.
IOP_RESET_ALWAYS is reserved for
kexec/kdump/FirmwareUpdate/AutomatedTestFrames so we did not function as
expected in any case. Also in the past we have had OEMs specifically
request that cards not be resetable after a BlinkLED/FirmwareAssert for
one reason or another and To head off the possibility that the Sunrise
Lake based cards would suffer a similar fate, we propose the enclosed
fix.
Yinghai Lu of SUN had a pre-production card with IOP_RESET disabled when
he reported an issue to the linux kernel list back in May regarding a
kexec problem resulting from this reset being ignore. His fix was to
update the Firmware to one that did not ignore the IOP_RESET. Previous
kernels did not attempt to reset the adapter and that is why it surfaced
as a regression in his hands.

Customer running an application that issues SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE calls
directly noticed the broad stroke of the current implementation in the
aacraid driver resulting in multiple applications feeding I/O to the
storage causing the issuing application to stall for long periods of
time. By only waiting for the current WRITE commands, rather than all
commands, to complete; and those that are in range of the
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE call that would associate more tightly with the
issuing application before telling the Firmware to flush it's dirty
cache, we managed to reduce the stalling. The Firmware itself still
flushes all the dirty cache associated with the array ignoring the
range, it just does so in a more timely manner.

Report VPD inquiry page 0x80 with an unique array creation serial
number (CUID). When an array is created, the metadata stored on the
physical drives gets an unique serial number. This serial number
remains constant through array morphing or migration to other
controllers. This patch is a forward port and modification to survive
morphing and migration operations, of a similar piece of
(un-attributed author) code added to the SLES10 SP1 aacraid driver.
To test the results of the patch, observe that /dev/disk/by-id/
entries will show up for the arrays resulting from the udev rules.
Also, as per the udev rules, 'scsi_id -g -x -a -s /block/sd? -d
/dev/sd?' will report the ID_SERIAL as constructed from the inquiry
data.
It was reported to me that the 'ADPT' leading the serial number was bad
form, that the inquiry vendor field was enough to differentiate the
storage uniquely. Subsequent search found that another Adaptec AAC based
driver reported the 8 hex serial number only without such adornments, so
dropped ADPT to match. Resubmitting the patch with this alteration.

The Dell PERC2/QC erroneously was listed as having the 31 bit limit
quirk on the interface allocations, removing the reference to repair
this oversight. Also, the 2 quad pci address (family) match catch-all
also retained the 31 bit limit and the 34 SG limit quirks in a paranoid
move. Now, many years later, we find that none of the Adapters that did
trigger with the family match had such quirks; these quirks are all
limited to the 4 quad pci address matches to select legacy adapters
already populated.

Sundry cleanups:
1) Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
2) Make sure probe worked before recalling the SCSI command to finalize
processing.
3) _aac_probe_container2 and _aac_probe_container1 return value goes
unused, change return to void.
4) Use a lower depth pointer reference to pick up the driver instance
variable.
5) Although effectively unused except to fake for scsicmd validity, set
the scsi_done in probe code to aac_probe_container_callback1 instead of
the less valid dummy reference to _aac_probe_container1.
6) SCp.phase is set in aac_valid_context, drop setting up this value in
caller when unnecessary.
7) take container target id at the beginning, rather than referencing
scmd_id() to pick it up.
There should be no side effects or functionality changes.

Moves quiesce, thread and interrupt shutdown into aacraid drivers'
.shutdown handler. This fix to the aac_shutdown handler will remove the
superfluous reset of the adapter during a (clean) kexec.
This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid
broken' but it is unlikely to affect the root cause (issue likely
present in both kexec and kdump). This patch reduces the chance the
problem will occur with a kexec. The fix for root cause is currently
expected to be the minimum value check to the aacraid.startup_timeout
driver variable after an adapter reset within aacraid_commit_reset.patch
submitted on 05/22/2007 and awaiting testing by Yinghai to confirm.

Under some conditions associated with the unclean transition to kdump,
the aacraid adapters will view the array as foreign and not export it to
prevent access and data manipulation. The solution is to submit a commit
configuration to export the devices since this is a expected behavior
when transitioning to a kdump kernel.
This patch adds the aacraid.reset_devices flag and when either this or
the global reset_devices flag is set, ensures that a commit config is
issued and extends the startup_timeout if it is set less than 5 minutes.

Back in the beginning of last year we disabled mode page 8 and mode page
3f requests through device quirk bits instead of enhancing the driver to
respond to these mode pages because there was no apparent added value.
The Firmware that supports the new communication commands supports the
ability to force a write around of the adapter cache on a command by
command basis. In the attached patch we enable mode page 8 and 3f and
spoof the results as needed in order to *convince* the layers above to
submit writes with the FUA (Force Unit Attention) bit set if the file
system or application requires it, if the Firmware supports the write
through, or instead to submit a SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE if the Firmware does
not. The added value here is for file systems that benefit from this
functionality and for clustering or redundancy scenarios.
Caveats: By convince, we are responding with a minimal short 3 byte
content mode page 8, with only the data the SCSI layer needs and that we
can fill confidently. Applications that require the customarily larger
mode page 8 results may be confused by this(?). The FUA, or the
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE only affect the cache on the controller. Our firmware
by default ensure that the underlying physical drives of the array have
their cache turned off so normally this is not a problem.
This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 and was unit tested
on RHEL5. Since this is a feature enhancement, it should not be
considered for any current stabilization efforts.

On digging into it, it turned out that the customer was probing an
aacraid device with an INQUIRY of 8 bytes. The way aacraid works, it
was blindly trying to use aac_internal_transfer to copy the container
name to byte 16 of the inquiry data, resulting in a negative transfer
length. It then copies over the whole of kernel memory before
dropping off the end.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all

storage parameters about the arrays. This simple patch resolves the
problem (and more accurately mimics the logic of the original code
before the patch).

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...

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...
Neither of these values show in sysfs (yet).

Just sweeping the floor clean in one spot. Some of these constants have
never been used in the driver or in the firmware (and thus are
meaningless). Triggered this patch because I discovered one of the
unused constants was actually incorrect and figured it was better to
clean them out than correct and update. There are no side effects at all
regarding this patch, it is purely cosmetic.

Unsigned long is not always the same size as a pointer, namely on 32 bit
systems with 64 bit address space. Ptrdiff_t is the same size as a
pointer in all configurations. By using ptrdiff_t we can mitigate the
warning messages on these configurations. There should be no side
effects of this patch.

There is some residual cleanup of the last series of patches and the
need to bump the revision number to draw the line in the sand.
The cmd->SCp.phase is set in the aac_valid_context routine, then set
again to the same value following it's return. The cmd->scsi_done is set
twice in the aac_queuecommand routine. Free up the scsidev FILO in
aac_probe_container as it is not needed further down the function in any
case. Improve the efficiency of the abort handler kernel print
parameters. Bump revision number of driver to approximate the equivalent
in the Adaptec supplied version.

Captured a panic on an older kernel where an application issuing
commands via sg was sending requests that lacked a request_buffer, thus
the buffer pointer used in aac_internal_transer was NULL. The
application was fixed closing the issue, but felt it was advised to
immunize the driver against the eventuality.

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 raw srb ioctl is supposed to be able to take packets with 32 and 64 bit
virtual address SG elements, it did not handle the frames with 64 bit SG
elements well when communicating with 64 bit DMA capable adapters, and it did
not handle the 32 bit limited DMA adapters at all. The enclosed patch now
handles all four quadrants (32 bit / 64 bit SG elements in SRB requests + 32
bit or 64 bit DMA capable adapters)
This fix is required before Java based management applications in a 64 bit user
space can submit raw srb requests to the array physical components via the
ioctl mechanism, the allocated user memory pool on 64 bit machines under this
environment forced the management software's hands to submit 64 bit user space
virtual address SG elements in via the ioctl.

This little patch removes the ',cid)' container identification argument
from some of the functions. The argument is used in some cases as merely
a debug helper and thus not used, and in others, the value can be
quickly acquired from the scsi command in their single solitary use in
the procedure rather than wasting resources on passing the argument in
from above.

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.

This patch is to resolve a namespace issue that will result from a patch
expected in the future that adds a new interface; rationalized as
correcting a long term issue where hw_fib, instead of hw_fib_va, refers
to the virtual address space and hw_fib_pa refers to the physical
address space. A small fragment of this patch also cleans up an unused
variable that was close to the patch fragments.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
