mptfusion: Fix Incorrect return value in mptscsih_dev_reset

2011-03-02T14:46:33Z

commit bcfe42e98047f1935c5571c8ea77beb2d43ec19d upstream. There's a branch at the end of this function that is supposed to normalize the return value with what the mid-layer expects. In this one case, we get it wrong. Also increase the verbosity of the INFO level printk at the end of mptscsih_abort to include the actual return value and the scmd->serial_number. The reason being success or failure is actually determined by the state of the internal tag list when a TMF is issued, and not the return value of the TMF cmd. The serial_number is also used in this decision, thus it's useful to know for debugging purposes. Reported-by: Peter M.

mptfusion: mptctl_release is required in mptctl.c

2011-03-02T14:46:33Z

commit 84857c8bf83e8aa87afc57d2956ba01f11d82386 upstream. Added missing release callback for file_operations mptctl_fops. Without release callback there will be never freed. It remains on mptctl's eent list even after the file is closed and released.

SCSI: mptsas: fix hangs caused by ATA pass-through

2010-09-27T00:21:28Z

commit 2a1b7e575b80ceb19ea50bfa86ce0053ea57181d upstream. I may have an explanation for the LSI 1068 HBA hangs provoked by ATA pass-through commands, in particular by smartctl. First, my version of the symptoms. On an LSI SAS1068E B3 HBA running 01.29.00.00 firmware, with SATA disks, and with smartd running, I'm seeing occasional task, bus, and host resets, some of which lead to hard faults of the HBA requiring a reboot. Abusively looping the smartctl command, # while true; do smartctl -a /dev/sdb > /dev/null; done dramatically increases the frequency of these failures to nearly one per minute. A high IO load through the HBA while looping smartctl seems to improve the chance of a full scsi host reset or a non-recoverable hang. I reduced what smartctl was doing down to a simple test case which causes the hang with a single IO when pointed at the sd interface. See the code at the bottom of this e-mail. It uses an SG_IO ioctl to issue a single pass-through ATA identify device command. If the buffer userspace gives for the read data has certain alignments, the task is issued to the HBA but the HBA fails to respond. If run against the sg interface, neither the test code nor smartctl causes a hang. sd and sg handle the SG_IO ioctl slightly differently. Unless you specifically set a flag to do direct IO, sg passes a buffer of its own, which is page-aligned, to the block layer and later copies the result into the userspace buffer regardless of its alignment. sd, on the other hand, always does direct IO unless the userspace buffer fails an alignment test at block/blk-map.c line 57, in which case a page-aligned buffer is created and used for the transfer. The alignment test currently checks for word-alignment, the default setup by scsi_lib.c; therefore, userspace buffers of almost any alignment are given directly to the HBA as DMA targets. The LSI 1068 hardware doesn't seem to like at least a couple of the alignments which cross a page boundary (see the test code below). Curiously, many page-boundary-crossing alignments do work just fine. So, either the hardware has an bug handling certain alignments or the hardware has a stricter alignment requirement than the driver is advertising. If stricter alignment is required, then in no case should misaligned buffers from userspace be allowed through without being bounced or at least causing an error to be returned. It seems the mptsas driver could use blk_queue_dma_alignment() to advertise a stricter alignment requirement. If it does, sd does the right thing and bounces misaligned buffers (see block/blk-map.c line 57). The following patch to 2.6.34-rc5 makes my symptoms go away. I'm sure this is the wrong place for this code, but it gets my idea across. Acked-by: Kashyap Desai Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mptspi: Fix for incorrect data underrun errata

2010-04-26T14:41:36Z

commit 9b53b39243cf23a0b68eaa16c37ce16eada69a46 upstream. Errata: Certain conditions on the scsi bus may casue the 53C1030 to incorrectly signal a SCSI_DATA_UNDERRUN to the host. Workaround 1: For an Errata on LSI53C1030 When the length of request data and transfer data are different with result of command (READ or VERIFY), DID_SOFT_ERROR is set. Workaround 2: For potential trouble on LSI53C1030. It is checked whether the length of request data is equal to the length of transfer and residual. MEDIUM_ERROR is set by incorrect data.

SCSI: mptfusion : mptscsih_abort return value should be SUCCESS instead of value 0.

commit 9858ae38011d699d4c2fa7f3493a47accf43a0f5 upstream. retval should be SUCCESS/FAILED which is defined at scsi.h retval = 0 is directing wrong return value. It must be retval = SUCCESS. Signed-off-by: Kashyap Desai Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mptsas: Fix issue with chain pools allocation on katmai

2010-02-09T12:50:41Z

commit f1053a7ca9ce095d95bcc1cf41684c5e4f3e7751 upstream. Since commit 9d2e9d66a3f032667934144cd61c396ba49f090d mptsas driver fails to allocate memory for the MPT chain buffers for second LSI adapter on PPC440SPe Katmai platform: ... ioc1: LSISAS1068E B3: Capabilities={Initiator} mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - Unable to allocate Reply, Request, Chain Buffers! mptbase: ioc1: ERROR - didn't initialize properly! (-3) mptsas: probe of 0002:31:00.0 failed with error -3 This commit increased MPT_FC_CAN_QUEUE value but initChainBuffers() doesn't differentiate between SAS and FC causing increased allocation for SAS case, too. Later pci_alloc_consistent() fails to allocate increased chain buffer pool size for SAS case. Provide a fix by looking at the bus type and using appropriate MPT_SAS_CAN_QUEUE value while calculation of the number of chain buffers.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan
