On digging into it, it turned out that the customer was probing an
aacraid device with an INQUIRY of 8 bytes.  The way aacraid works, it
was blindly trying to use aac_internal_transfer to copy the container
name to byte 16 of the inquiry data, resulting in a negative transfer
length.  It then copies over the whole of kernel memory before
dropping off the end.

[SCSI] aacraid: Correct sa platform support. (Was: [Bug 8469] Bad EIP value on pentium3 SMP kernel-2.6.21.1)

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8469

As discussed in the bugzilla outlined below, we have an sa based
(Mustang) RAID adapter on the system, a Dell PERC2/QC. Affected
controllers are HP NetRAID, Adaptec AAC-364, Dell PERC2/QC or Adaptec
5400S. This problem  coincides with the introduction of the adapter_comm
and adapter_deliver platform functions (Message [PATCH 1/4] aacraid:
rework communication support code, January 23 2007, which initially
migrated to 2.6.21)

The panic occurs with an uninitialized adapter_deliver platform function
pointer. The enclosed patch, unmodified as tested by Rainer, solves the
problem.

I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
false positives manually.

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
positives remaining. Untested files are:

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...

Neither of these values show in sysfs (yet).

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.

The raw srb ioctl is supposed to be able to take packets with 32 and 64 bit
virtual address SG elements, it did not handle the frames with 64 bit SG
elements well when communicating with 64 bit DMA capable adapters, and it did
not handle the 32 bit limited DMA adapters at all.  The enclosed patch now
handles all four quadrants (32 bit / 64 bit SG elements in SRB requests + 32
bit or 64 bit DMA capable adapters)

This fix is required before Java based management applications in a 64 bit user
space can submit raw srb requests to the array physical components via the
ioctl mechanism, the allocated user memory pool on 64 bit machines under this
environment forced the management software's hands to submit 64 bit user space
virtual address SG elements in via the ioctl.

The aac_probe_container call blocks. This is an issue because it is called on
occasion in the context of the queuecommand handler. Once in a blue moon this
has resulted in a kernel panic sleeping during interrupt; or problems with some
embedded system versions of the kernel that depend on queuecommand to not
block. This ugly patch rewrites the aac_probe_container call into a new routine
_aac_probe_container that is an asynchronous state machine to complete the
series of operations. The legacy blocking aac_probe_container call used in
other areas of the driver (during initialization scanning for all targets and
in the separate hot-add/remove [aacraid] thread) merely issues
_aac_probe_container and then simple spins calling schedule() waiting for
completion.

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,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all

Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery

the reset could progress before the user application has gotten it's

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.

Until the system is stabilized, I am suggesting the enclosed
modification to prevent the driver from tickling the panic. Once sysfs
and friends are stabilized, the patch may be backed out. We have yet to
evaluate if we really want to relinquish existing Scsi Devices in any
case, holding on to them as configuration of arrays comes and goes makes
some sense as well. As a result, we have opted to pull the lines rather
than comment them in legacy.

The only real difference between the rkt and rx platform modules is the
offset of the message registers. This patch recognizes this similarity
and simplifies the driver to reduce it's code footprint and to improve
maintainability by reducing the code duplication.

Visibly, the 'rkt.c' portion of this patch looks more complicated than
it really is. View it as retaining the rkt-only specifics of the
interface.

I am placing this functionality into an insmod parameter. Normally the physical
components are exported to sg, and are blocked from showing up in sd.

Note that the pass-through I/O path via the driver through the Firmware to the
physical disks is not an optimized path, the card is designed for Hardware
RAID, elevator sorting and caching. This should not be used as a means for
utilizing the aacraid based controllers as a generic scsi/SATA/SAS controller,
performance should suck by a few percentage points, any RAID meta-data on the
drives will confuse the controller about who owns the drives and there is a
high risk of destroying content in both directions. Unreliable and for
experimentation or strange controlled circumstances only.

Basically cleanup, nothing here will have an affect. Adjusting some

If the adapter is in blinkled (Firmware Assert) when error recovery
timeout actions have been triggered, perform an adapter warm reset and
restart the initialization.
