One of the customer had reported that the set of raid logical arrays will
become unavailable (I/O offline) after a long hours of IO stress test. The OS
wouldn`t be accessible afterwards and require a hard reset.
This driver patch has a fix for race condition between the doorbell and the
circular buffer. The driver is modified to do an extra read after clearing the
doorbell in case there had been a completion posted during the small timing
window.
With this fix, we ran IO stress for ~13 days. There were no IO failures.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Aacraid controller can hang on some nodes if kernel uses non-default
(powersave) ASPM policy. Controller hangs shortly after successful load and
hardware detection. Scsi error handler detects this hang and tries to restart
hardware but it does not help.
Initially it was noticed on RHEL6-based openVZ kernel after backporting
aacraid driver from mainline (RHEL6 kernel with original driver works well)
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2043
This issue happens because default ASPM policy was changed in Red Hat
kernels. Therefore guys from Red Hat have noticed this problem long time ago:
on Fedora 12
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540478
on Fedora 14
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679385
In RHEL6 kernel this issue was fixed, ASPM was disabled in aacraid driver. In
kernel changelog I've found that seems it was done by Matthew Garrett: -
[scsi] aacraid: Disable ASPM by default (Matthew Garrett) [599735]
However seems this patch was not submitted to mainline. I've reproduced this
issue on vanilla 3.1.0 kernel booted with "pcie_aspm.policy=powersave" option,
So I believe it makes sense to do it now.

- sync. command interface: doorbell bits shifted (SRC_ODR_SHIFT, SRC_IDR_SHIFT)
- async. Interface: different inbound queue handling, no outbound I2O
queue available, using doorbell ("PmDoorBellResponseSent") and
response buffer on the host ("host_rrq") for status
- changed AIF (adapter initiated FIBs) interface: "DoorBellAifPending"
bit to inform about pending AIF, "AifRequest" command to read AIF,

Needed to update to apply fixes for which the old branch was too
outdated.
Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.
The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.
Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)
Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.
Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

* 'llseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl:
vfs: make no_llseek the default
vfs: don't use BKL in default_llseek
llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
libfs: use generic_file_llseek for simple_attr
mac80211: disallow seeks in minstrel debug code

arm/omap: use generic_file_llseek in iommu_debug
lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
drm: use noop_llseek
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

is deleted(from the SDK, from the GUI, from arcconf) then the
corresponding physical device (/dev/sdb, for example) is not removed
from the Linux namespace. So you end up with a "dead" device
entry. And some of the linux tools go slightly wonky.
Solution:
---------
Based on the notification from FW, the driver calls
"scsi_remove_device" for the DELETED drive. This call not only informs
the scsi device status to the SCSI mid layer and also it will remove
corresponding scsi device entries from the Linux sysfs.

Problem description:
--------------------
The issue reported by one of the customer was able to read LBA beyond
the array reported size with "sg_read" utility. If N is the last block
address reported, then should not be able to read past N,
i.e. N+1. But in their case, reported last LBA=143134719. So should
not have been able to read with LBA=143134720, but it is read without
failure, which means reported size to the OS is not correct and is
less than the actual last block address.
Solution:
---------
Firmware layer exposes lesser container capacity than the actual
one. It exposes [Actual size - Spitfire space(10MB)] to the OS, IO's
to the 10MB should be prohibited from the Linux driver. Driver checks
LBA boundary, if its greater than the array reported size then sets
sensekey to HARDWARE_ERROR and sends the notification to the MID
layer.

There are two conditions for ATA pass thru command that falls into
'SRB_STATUS_ERROR' condition.
1. When the "CC" bit is set by the host in ATA pass-through CDB
- Even for the successful completion, SCSI target shall generate
check condition.
- Driver returns a result code of SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, with a
driver byte of DID_OK to the mid layer.
Below is the snippet of existing code which fills a result code
of SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION:
***********************************
if (le32_to_cpu(srbreply->scsi_status) == SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION) {
int len;
scsicmd->result |= SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION;
..........
************************************
2. When the "CC" bit is reset by the host and if SCSI target generates
a check condition when an error occurs.
- Driver returns a result code of SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION, with a
driver byte of DID_ERROR to the mid layer.

The default driver setting is "expose_physicals=0", which means raw
physical drives are not exposed to OS. If the user wants to expose
connected physical drives, enable "expose_physicals" module parameter.
With the new JBOD firmware, physical drives are not available for
"expose_physicals>0". In function "aac_expose_phy_device", modified
to reset the appropriate bit in the first byte of inquiry data. This
fix exposes the connected physical drives.

Problem description:
--------------------
When the JBOD is created from the OS using Adaptec Storage Manager
utility device is not available under FDISK until a system restart is
done.
Solution:
---------
AIF handling: If there is a JBOD drive added to the system, identify
the old one with scsi_device_lookup() and remove it to enable a fresh
scsi_add_device(); else the new JBOD is not available until reboot.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

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.
