Merge patch series "smartpqi updates"
Don Brace <don.brace@microchip.com> says:
These patches are based on Martin Petersen's 6.12/scsi-queue tree
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkp/scsi.git
6.12/scsi-queue
There are two functional changes:
smartpqi-add-fw-log-to-kdump
smartpqi-add-counter-for-parity-write-stream-requests
There are three minor bug fixes:
smartpqi-fix-stream-detection
smartpqi-fix-rare-system-hang-during-LUN-reset
smartpqi-fix-volume-size-updates
The other two patches add PCI-IDs for new controllers and change the
driver version.
This set of changes consists of:
* smartpqi-add-fw-log-to-kdump
During a kdump, the driver tells the controller to copy its logging
information to some pre-allocated buffers that can be analyzed
later.
This is a "feature" driven capability and is backward compatible
with existing controller FW.
This patch renames some prefixes for OFA (Online-Firmware Activation
ofa_*) buffers to host_memory_*. So, not a lot of actual functional
changes to smartpqi_init.c, mainly determining the memory size
allocation.
We added a function to notify the controller to copy debug data into
host memory before continuing kdump.
Most of the functional changes are in smartpqi_sis.c where the
actual handshaking is done.
* smartpqi-fix-stream-detection
Correct some false write-stream detections. The data structure used
to check for write-streams was not initialized to all 0's causing
some false write stream detections. The driver sends down streamed
requests to the raid engine instead of using AIO bypass for some
extra performance. (Potential full-stripe write verses Read Modify
Write).
False detections have not caused any data corruption. Found by
internal testing. No known externally reported bugs.
* smartpqi-add-counter-for-parity-write-stream-requests
Adding some counters for raid_bypass and write streams. These two
counters are related because write stream detection is only checked
if an I/O request is eligible for bypass (AIO).
The bypass counter (raid_bypass_cnt) was moved into a common
structure (pqi_raid_io_stats) and changed to type __percpu. The
write stream counter is (write_stream_cnt) has been added to this
same structure.
These counters are __percpu counters for performance. We added a
sysfs entry to show the write stream count. The raid bypass counter
sysfs entry already exists.
Useful for checking streaming writes. The change in the sysfs entry
write_stream_cnt can be checked during AIO eligible write
operations.
* smartpqi-add-new-controller-PCI-IDs
Adding support for new controller HW. No functional changes.
* smartpqi-fix-rare-system-hang-during-LUN-reset
We found a rare race condition that can occur during a LUN reset. We
were not emptying our internal queue completely.
There have been some rare conditions where our internal request
queue has requests for multiple LUNs and a reset comes in for one of
the LUNs. The driver waits for this internal queue to empty. We were
only clearing out the requests for the LUN being reset so the
request queue was never empty causing a hang.
The Fix:
For all requests in our internal request queue:
Complete requests with DID_RESET for queued requests for the
device undergoing a reset.
Complete requests with DID_REQUEUE for all other queued requests.
Found by internal testing. No known externally reported bugs.
* smartpqi-fix-volume-size-updates
The current code only checks for a size change if there is also a
queue depth change. We are separating the check for queue depth and
the size changes.
Found by internal testing. No known bugs were filed.
* smartpqi-update-version-to-2.1.30-031
No functional changes.
