This fixes a regression caused by commit d3557fc8 megaraid_sas : Add separate function for setting up IRQs This makes boot end with 'root does not exist' message on certain adapters. The bug is that the driver does not setup ints for cards without msi-x support. This patch fixes it, in addition to that it moves tasklet initialisation before enable_intr, otherwise a kernel panic may occur, when an interrupt arrives before the tasklet is ready.

megaraid_sas : Modify return value of megasas_issue_blocked_cmd() and wait_and_poll() to consider command status returned by firmware This patch is rebased on top of recently sent 18 patches(submitted by me) for megaraid_sas driver. Change the return value of wait_and_poll() and megsas_issue_blocked_cmd() based on MFI_STAT returned by firmware for that command. Earlier driver always send return type based on command completion (but never check MFI_STAT_OK for that command), so even if command is failed by firmware still driver will return SUCCESS status from these functions wait_and_poll() and megsas_issue_blocked_cmd() and if caller of these functions does not check command status (MFI_STAT), then it may endup using invalid data returned in DMA buffers(one of the example is megasas_ld_list_query DCMD). Best thing to avoid this type of issue is do error handling and set proper return type from caller function wait_and_poll() and megsas_issue_blocked_cmd(). The change proposed in this patch will fix the regression introduced in patch- "90dc9d98 megaraid_sas : MFI MPT linked list corruption fix" inside function megasas_ld_list_query(). Prior to this MFI MPT linked list corruption fix patch, megasas_ld_list_query() function used to check DCMD status(returned by firmware) but with this linked list corruption fix patch, DCMD status will not be checked inside function megasas_ld_list_query() and introduced this issue of wrong data being used by function megasas_ld_list_query().

megaraid_sas driver will use block layer provided tag for indexing internal MPT frames to get any unique MPT frame tied with tag. Each IO request submitted from SCSI mid layer will get associated MPT frame from MPT framepool (retrieved and return back using spinlock inside megaraid_sas driver's submission/completion call back). Getting MPT frame from MPT Frame pool is very expensive operation because of associated spin lock operation (spinlock overhead increase on multi NUMA node). This type of locking in driver is very expensive call considering each IO request need - Acquire and Release of the same lock. With this support, in IO path driver will directly provide the unique command index(which is based on block layer tag) and will get the MPT frame tied to the tag and this way driver can get rid off lock, which synchronizes the access to MPT frame pool while fetching and returning MPT frame from the pool. This support in driver provides siginificant performance improvement(on multi NUMA node system)on latest upstream with SCSI.MQ as well as on existing linux distributions. Here is the data for test executed at Avago- - IO Tool- FIO - 4 Socket SMC server. (4 NUMA node server) - 12 SSDs in JBOD mode . - 4K Rand READ, QD=32 - SCSI MQ x86_64 (Latest Upstream kernel) - upto 300% Performance Improvement. If IOs are running on single Node, perfromance gain is less, but as soon as increase number of nodes, performance improvement is significant. IOs running on all 4 NUMA nodes, with this patch applied IOPs observed was 1170K vs 344K IOPs seen without this patch. Logically, there are two parts of this patch- 1) Block layer tag support 2) changes in calling convention of return_cmd. part 2 will revert the changes done by patch- 90dc9d98 megaraid_sas : MFI MPT linked list corruption fix because changes done in part 1 has fixed the problem of MFI MPT linked list corruption. part 2 is very much dependent on part 1, so we decided to have single patch for these two logical changes.

This patch will create separate functions for- 1) setting up IRQs for MSI-x interrupts 2) setting up IRQs for legacy interrupts 3) freeing up IRQs. and enable interrupts after adapter's initialization. The reason behind initialising adapter earlier is: by that time firmware is operational and can send interrupts, so better to use interrupt based interface to send internal DCMD to firmware instead of using polling method, since MFI frames' pool size is reduced and polling method does not free up MFI frame for fusion adapters, so sending more DCMDs with polled method may cause MFI frames's pool go out of frames and end up failing DCMD.

Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate, given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple untagged commands in the driver. Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling ->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at ->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now. Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type, and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win. Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

Resending the patch. Addressed the review comments from Tomas Henzl. Added comment for to-do work. Problem statement: MFI link list in megaraid_sas driver is used from mfi-mpt pass-through commands. This list can be corrupted due to many possible race conditions in driver and eventually we may see kernel panic. One example - MFI frame is freed from calling process as driver send command via polling method and interrupt for that command comes after driver free mfi frame (actually even after some other context reuse the mfi frame). When driver receive MPT frame in ISR, driver will be using the index of MFI and access that MFI frame and finally in-used MFI frame’s list will be corrupted. High level description of new solution - Free MFI and MPT command from same context. Free both the command either from process (from where mfi-mpt pass-through was called) or from ISR context. Do not split freeing of MFI and MPT, because it creates the race condition which will do MFI/MPT list corruption. Renamed the cmd_pool_lock which is used in instance as well as fusion with below name. mfi_pool_lock and mpt_pool_lock to add more code readability.

Resending the patch. Addressed the review comments from Tomas Henzl. reserved1 field(part of union) of Raid map struct was not required so it is removed. Current MegaRAID firmware and hence the driver only supported 64VDs. E.g: If the user wants to create more than 64VD on a controller, it is not possible on current firmware/driver. New feature and requirement to support upto 256VD, firmware/driver/apps need changes. In addition to that there must be a backward compatibility of the new driver with the older firmware and vice versa. RAID map is the interface between Driver and FW to fetch all required fields(attributes) for each Virtual Drives. In the earlier design driver was using the FW copy of RAID map where as in the new design the Driver will keep the RAID map copy of its own; on which it will operate for any raid map access in fast path. Local driver raid map copy will provide ease of access through out the code and provide generic interface for future FW raid map changes. For the backward compatibility driver will notify FW that it supports 256VD to the FW in driver capability field. Based on the controller properly returned by the FW, the Driver will know whether it supports 256VD or not and will copy the RAID map accordingly. At any given time, driver will always have old or new Raid map. So with this changes, driver can also work in host lock less mode. Please see next patch which enable host lock less mode for megaraid_sas driver.

Resending the patch. Addressed the review comments from Tomas Henzl. Move buff_offset inside spinlock, corrected loop at crash dump buffer free, reset_devices check is added to disable fw crash dump feature in kdump kernel. This feature will provide similar interface as kernel crash dump feature. When megaraid firmware encounter any crash, driver will collect the firmware raw image and dump it into pre-configured location. Driver will allocate two different segment of memory. #1 Non-DMA able large buffer (will be allocated on demand) to capture actual FW crash dump. #2 DMA buffer (persistence allocation) just to do a arbitrator job. Firmware will keep writing Crash dump data in chucks of DMA buffer size into #2, which will be copy back by driver to the host memory as described in #1. Driver-Firmware interface: ================== A.) Host driver can allocate maximum 512MB Host memory to store crash dump data. This memory will be internal to the host and will not be exposed to the Firmware. Driver may not be able to allocate 512 MB. In that case, driver will do possible memory (available at run time) allocation to store crash dump data. Let’s call this buffer as Host Crash Buffer. Host Crash buffer will not be contigious as a whole, but it will have multiple chunk of contigious memory. This will be internal to driver and firmware/application are unaware of it. Partial allocation of Host Crash buffer may have valid information to debug depending upon what was collected in that buffer and depending on nature of failure. Complete Crash dump is the best case, but we do want to capture partial buffer just to grab something rather than nothing. Host Crash buffer will be allocated only when FW Crash dump data is available, and will be deallocated once application copy Host Crash buffer to the file. Host Crash buffer size can be anything between 1MB to 512MB. (It will be multiple of 1MBs) B.) Irrespective of underlying Firmware capability of crash dump support, driver will allocate DMA buffer at start of the day for each MR controllers. Let’s call this buffer as “DMA Crash Buffer”. For this feature, size of DMA crash buffer will be 1MB. (We will not gain much even if DMA buffer size is increased.) C.) Driver will now read Controller Info sending existing dcmd “MR_DCMD_CTRL_GET_INFO”. Driver should extract the information from ctrl info provided by firmware and figure out if firmware support crash dump feature or not. Driver will enable crash dump feature only if “Firmware support Crash dump” + “Driver was able to create DMA Crash Buffer”. If either one from above is not set, Crash dump feature should be disable in driver. Firmware will enable crash dump feature only if “Driver Send DCMD- MR_DCMD_SET_CRASH_BUF_PARA with MR_CRASH_BUF_TURN_ON” Helper application/script should use sysfs parameter fw_crash_xxx to actually copy data from host memory to the filesystem.

Prints like this creates confusion as it is really not required to scan any hidden physical devices. scsi1 : LSI SAS based MegaRAID driver scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:0:1:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:2:0:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:2:1:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 When slave_alloc called, sdev-type will not be set, so current code will always return "0" in slave_alloc callback. This patch make sure that driver return "-ENXIO" for non-syspd devices. After this patch, we will see prints in syslog only for devices which are exposed. For current example, below print will be available in syslog. scsi1 : LSI SAS based MegaRAID driver scsi 1:2:0:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:2:1:0: Direct-Access LSI MR9361-8i 4.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Signed-off-by: NSumit Saxena <sumit.saxena@avagotech.com> Signed-off-by: NKashyap Desai <kashyap.desai@avagotech.com> Reviewed-by: NTomas Henzl <thenzl@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NChristoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
