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

The adapter queue is divided up equally to all the arrays to prevent
command starvation to any individual array. On the other hand,
physical targets are only granted a queue depth of one each. The code
prior to this patch used to deal with the incremental discovery of
targets, but the driver knows how many arrays are present prior to the
scan so this knowledge is used to generate a better estimate for the
queue depth.
Remove the capability of 'physical=0' from preventing access to the
class of adapters that have the RAID/SCSI mode of operation since none
of the physicals on the SCSI channel are candidates ever for an array.
As always, the user can override this default queue depth policy by
making the appropriate adjustments utilizing sysfs.

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.

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.

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

Moves quiesce, thread and interrupt shutdown into aacraid drivers'

This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid

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

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

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.
