  135. 3 Older Version : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
  136. 1. Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
  137. OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
  138. will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
  139. affact the OS behavious.
  140. To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
  141. a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
  142. will change the function calls and add the reset function
  143. related to this two chips.
  144. b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
  145. which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue. Driver
  146. will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
  147. finished.
  148. c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
  149. OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
  150. cmds until the OCR finished.
  151. d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
  152. state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
  153. reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
  154. e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
  155. OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
  156. f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
  157. OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
  158. 2. Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
  159. application which driver will support the device update. So application
  160. will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
  161. from the system.
  162. 3. In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
  163. failed state. Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
  164. this three times reset.
  165. 4. Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
  166. customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
  167. controller.

  173. 1. Add the pad_0 in mfi frame structure to 0 to fix the
  174. context value larger than 32bit value issue.
  175. 2. Add the logic drive list to the driver. Driver will
  176. keep the logic drive list internal after driver load.
  177. 3. driver fixed the device update issue after get the AEN
  178. PD delete/ADD, LD add/delete from FW.

  245. Sense buffer ptr data type in the ioctl path is reverted back
  246. to u32 * as in previous versions of driver.
  247. 2. Fixed the driver frame count.
  248. When Driver sent wrong frame count to firmware. As this
  249. particular command is sent to drive, FW is seeing continuous
  250. chip resets and so the command will timeout.
  251. 3. Add the new controller(1078DE) support to the driver
  252. and Increase the max_wait to 60 from 10 in the controller
  253. operational status. With this max_wait increase, driver will
  254. make sure the FW will finish the pending cmd for KDUMP case.

  269. 1. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
  270. (reduced interrupt operation). In this mode, IO completion
  271. interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
  272. driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
  273. to be completed. A timer-based interrupt has also been added
  274. to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
  275. indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

  282. 1. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
  283. FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
  284. (max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
  285. this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
  286. by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
  287. with megaraid_sas. Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
  288. duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
  289. issue. 2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
  290. 10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
  291. cmd.

  312. 1. When MegaSAS driver receives reset call from OS, driver waits in reset
  313. routine for max 3 minutes for all pending command completion. Now driver will
  314. call completion routine every 5 seconds from the reset routine instead of
  315. waiting for depending on cmd completion from isr path.

  323. pci_alloc_consistent replaced by dma_alloc_coherent. With this
  324. change there is no need of memory manager in the driver code

  333. It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
  334. use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead. The dev
  335. is just &pci_dev->dev.
  336. James <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
  337. 3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
  338. 4. Hibernation support added
  339. 5. Performing diskdump while running IO in RHEL 4 was failing. Fixed.

  346. i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
  347. The driver now waits for 10 seconds to elapse instead of 5 (as in
  348. previous release) to resume IO.

  355. i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
  356. Fix: The driver is now throttling IO.
  357. Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
  358. process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
  359. is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
  360. resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
  361. from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
  362. ii. FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
  363. as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
  364. Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
  365. mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
  366. Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
  367. the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

  377. 1. Added new memory management module to support the IOCTL memory allocation. For IOCTL we try to allocate from the memory pool created during driver initialization. If mem pool is empty then we allocate at run time.
  378. 2. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
  379. (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

  389. v. Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
  390. vi. In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
  391. cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by

  406. 3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
  407. iv. Tasklet added for cmd completion
  408. v. If FW in operational state before firing INIT, now we send RESET Flag to FW instead of just READY. This is used to do soft reset.
  409. vi. megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
  410. vii. Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

  420. ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
  421. Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
  422. This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
  423. it is generated by the controller.

  453. The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.
