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.

Big endian systems issues discovered in the aacraid driver. Somewhat
reverses a patch from November 7th of last year that removed swap
operations because they formerly were being assigned to an u8 array
when they should have been assigned to an le32 array.
This patch is largely inert for any little endian processor
architecture. It resolves a bug in delivering the BlinkLED AIF event
to registered applications when the adapter or associated hardware was
reset due to ill health. A rare corner case occurrence, also largely
unnoticed by any as it was a new (untested!) feature.

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
resetting the adapter.

Actually there are several but one is trivially fixed
1. FSACTL_GET_NEXT_ADAPTER_FIB ioctl does not lock dev->fib_list
but needs to
2. Ditto for FSACTL_CLOSE_GET_ADAPTER_FIB
3. It is possible to construct an attack via the SRB ioctls where
the user obtains assorted elevated privileges. Various approaches are
possible, the trivial ones being things like writing to the raw media
via scsi commands and the swap image of other executing programs with
higher privileges.
So the ioctls should be CAP_SYS_RAWIO - at least all the FIB manipulating
ones. This is a bandaid fix for #3 but probably the ioctls should grow
their own capable checks. The other two bugs need someone competent in that
driver to fix them.

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.
The current list of aacraid based cards that use Sunrise Lake:
9005:0285:9005:02b5 Adaptec 5445
9005:0285:9005:02b6 Adaptec 5805

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.

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

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).

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...

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.

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,

Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery
is performed. This code is 'clunky' and does not have any real feedback in that
the reset could progress before the user application has gotten it's
notification of command completion. We put a schedule() call to delay just the
right amount for most cases, because we tried a spin and still managed to find
cases where we would spin forever waiting for the management application to
acknowledge the impending doom surrounding the cause of the BlinkLED. Will
cause an oops in the context of the management application if we proceed too
quickly. I view this as the lesser of many evils since currently if there are
outstanding management ioctls during a need to reset/recover the adapter, the
management application just locks up and waits forever. The best practices fix
for this problem not going to be simple or easy (at least the fixes I imagine
today); and we found a balance between the needs of the driver to proceed, and
the applications that locked or confused that would hold back the driver. I
just do not like the idea of a kernel oops in an application to deal with low

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after
request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH. Using
the buffer and bufflen fields means they do very broken things in error
handling.

The queue tracking is just not being used, not even for debugging. Information
about outstanding commands can be acquired from the scsi structures.

A race condition existed that could result in a lost completion of a
command to the ppc based cards.

Add the ability to adjust for unusual corner case failures. Both of
these additional module parameters deal with embedded, non-intel or
complicated system scenarios.
Aif_timeout can be increased past the default 2 minute timeout to drop
application registrations when a system has an unusually high event load
resulting from continuing management requests, or simultaneous builds,
or sluggish user space as a result of system load.
Startup_timeout can be increased past the default 3 minute timeout to
drop an adapter initialization for systems that have a very large number
of targets, or slow to spin-up targets, or a complicated set of array
configurations that extend the time for the firmware to declare that it
is operational. This timeout would only have an affect on non-intel
based systems, as the (more patient) BIOS would generally be where the
startup delay would be dealt with.

Since new commands to the card are quiesced, respect the changes in
the SCSI error path which dropped locking around the hba reset handler
and similarly drop the lock requirement in the driver's path.
