* hpsa: fix event filtering to prevent excessive rescans with old firmwareStephen M. Cameron2014-06-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | CTLR_STATE_CHANGE_EVENT and CTLR_STATE_CHANGE_EVENT_REDUNDANT_CNTRL do not require rescans to be initiated. Current firmware filters out these events already, but some out of date firmware doesn't, so the driver needs to filter them out too. Without this change and with out of date firmware you may see the driver spending a lot of time scanning devices unnecessarily on some Smart Arrays. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

* [SCSI] hpsa: rescan devices on ioaccel2 errorScott Teel2014-03-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow driver to schedule a rescan whenever a request fails on the ioaccel2 path. This eliminates the possibility of driver getting stuck in non-ioaccel mode. IOaccel mode (HP SSD Smart Path) is disabled by driver upon error detection. Driver relied on idea that request would be retried through normal path, and a subsequent error would occur on that path, and be processed by controller firmware. As part of that process, controller disables ioaccel mode and later reinstates it, signalling driver to change modes. In some error cases, the error will not duplicate on the standard path, so the driver could get stuck in non-ioaccel mode. To avoid that, we allow driver to request a rescan during the next run of the rescan thread. Signed-off-by: Scott Teel <scott.teel@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

* [SCSI] hpsa: poll controller to detect device change eventStephen M. Cameron2014-03-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For shared SAS configurations, hosts need to poll Smart Arrays periodically in order to be able to detect configuration changes such as logical drives being added or removed from remote hosts. A register on the controller indicates when such events have occurred, and the driver polls the register via a workqueue and kicks off a rescan of devices if such an event is detected. Additionally, changes to logical drive raid offload eligibility are autodetected in this way. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

* [SCSI] hpsa: prevent stalled i/oStephen M. Cameron2013-12-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a fifo full condition is encountered, i/o requests will stack up in the h->reqQ queue. The only thing which empties this queue is start_io, which only gets called when new i/o requests come in. If none are forthcoming, i/o in h->reqQ will be stalled. To fix this, whenever fifo full condition is encountered, this is recorded, and the interrupt handler examines this to see if a fifo full condition was recently encountered when a command completes and will call start_io to prevent i/o's in h->reqQ from getting stuck. I've only ever seen this problem occur when running specialized test programs that pound on the the CCISS_PASSTHRU ioctl. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

* [SCSI] hpsa: dial down lockup detection during firmware flashStephen M. Cameron2012-05-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dial back the aggressiveness of the controller lockup detection thread. Currently it will declare the controller to be locked up if it goes for 10 seconds with no interrupts and no change in the heartbeat register. Dial back this to 30 seconds with no heartbeat change, and also snoop the ioctl path and if a firmware flash command is detected, dial it back further to 4 minutes until the firmware flash command completes. The reason for this is that during the firmware flash operation, the controller apparently doesn't update the heartbeat register as frequently as it is supposed to, and we can get a false positive.

MAXSGENTRIES was the constant used to denote the max number of SG elements embedded within a command, also a poor name. So renamed MAXSGENTREIS to SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD, and removed h->max_sg_entries and replaced it with SG_ENTRIES_IN_CMD. h->maxsgentries is unchanged, and is the maximum number of sg elements the controller will support in a command, including those in chain blocks, minus 1 for the chain block pointer..
