Point taken regarding the aacraid driver. Dropped the VALID bit, and
then did some cleanup/simplification of the set_sense procedure and
the associated parameters. Mike did some preliminary tests when the
VALID bit was dropped before the 'Re: [PATCH] [SCSI] sd: make error
handling more robust' patches came on the scene. The change in the
SCSI subsystem does make this enclosed aacraid patch unnecessary, so
this aacraid patch is merely post battle ground cleanup. If the
simplification is an issue, repugnant, too much for a back-port to the
stable trees or clouds the point, this patch could be happily
distilled down to:

The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

Due to an internal limit associated with the AdapterTypeText field,
SMC required a product ID that overloaded the combined vendor and
product ID. A decision was made to ship the SMC products without a
vendor string dropping the defacto space that used to delineate vendor
and product to boot. To correct this, we needed to adjust the code in
the driver to parse out the vendor and product strings for the
adapter. We match of 'AOC' in the AdapterTypeText, if so we set the
vendor to SMC and place the entire AdapterTypeText into the product
field.

This only affects the cosmetic presentation of the Adapter vendor and
product in the logs and in sysfs.

Big endian systems issues discovered in the aacraid driver. Somewhat

This patch is largely inert for any little endian processor

As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D9133 it was
discovered that the PERC line of controllers lacked a key 64 bit
ScatterGather capable SCSI pass-through function. The adapters are still
capable of 64 bit ScatterGather I/O commands, but these two can not be
mixed. This problem was exacerbated by the introduction of the SCSI
Generic access to the DASD physical devices.

The fix for users before this patch is applied is aacraid.dacmode=3D0 on
the kernel command line to disable 64 bit I/O.

The enclosed patch introduces a new adapter quirk and tries to limp
along by enabling pass-through in situations where memory is 32 bit
addressable on 64 bit machines, or disable the pass-through functions
altogether. I expect that the check for 32 bit addressable memory to be
controversial in that it can be incorrect in non-Dell non-Intel systems
that PERC would never be installed under, the alternative is to disable
pass-through in all cases which could be reported as another regression.

Pass-through is used for SCSI Generic access to the physical devices, or
for the management applications to properly function.

In systems where this patch has disabled pass-through because it is
unsupportable in combination with I/O performance, the user can choose
to enable pass-through by turning off dacmode (aacraid.dacmode=3D0) or
limiting the discovered kernel memory (mem=3D4G) with an associated loss
in runtime performance. If we chose instead to turn off 64 bit dacmode
for the adapters with this quirk, then this would be reported as another
regression.

Some of our vendors have requested that our adapters ignore the hardware
reset attempts during recovery and have enforced this with changes in
Adapter Firmware. Some of our customers have requested the option to be
able to reset the adapter under adverse adapter failure, we even had a
few defects reported here considering it a regression that the Adapter
could not be reset. This patch addresses this dichotomy. The user can
force the adapter to be reset if it supports the IOP_RESET_ALWAYS
command, in cases where the adapter has been programmed to ignore the
reset, by setting the aacraid.check_reset parameter to a value of -1.

The driver will not reset an Adapter that does not support the reset
command(s).

This patch also fixes and cleans up some of the logic associated with
resetting the adapter.

commands, to complete; and those that are in range of the
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE call that would associate more tightly with the

Report VPD inquiry page 0x80 with an unique array creation serial
number (CUID). When an array is created, the metadata stored on the
physical drives gets an unique serial number. This serial number
remains constant through array morphing or migration to other
controllers.  This patch is a forward port and modification to survive
morphing and migration operations, of a similar piece of
(un-attributed author) code added to the SLES10 SP1 aacraid driver.

To test the results of the patch, observe that /dev/disk/by-id/
entries will show up for the arrays resulting from the udev rules.
Also, as per the udev rules, 'scsi_id -g -x -a -s /block/sd? -d
/dev/sd?'  will report the ID_SERIAL as constructed from the inquiry
data.

It was reported to me that the 'ADPT' leading the serial number was bad
form, that the inquiry vendor field was enough to differentiate the
storage uniquely. Subsequent search found that another Adaptec AAC based
driver reported the 8 hex serial number only without such adornments, so
dropped ADPT to match. Resubmitting the patch with this alteration.

2) Make sure probe worked before recalling the SCSI command to finalize

3) _aac_probe_container2 and _aac_probe_container1 return value goes
unused, change return to void.
4) Use a lower depth pointer reference to pick up the driver instance
variable.
5) Although effectively unused except to fake for scsicmd validity, set
the scsi_done in probe code to aac_probe_container_callback1 instead of
the less valid dummy reference to _aac_probe_container1.
6) SCp.phase is set in aac_valid_context, drop setting up this value in

Under some conditions associated with the unclean transition to kdump,

configuration to export the devices since this is a expected behavior
when transitioning to a kdump kernel.

This patch adds the aacraid.reset_devices flag and when either this or

Back in the beginning of last year we disabled mode page 8 and mode page
3f requests through device quirk bits instead of enhancing the driver to
respond to these mode pages because there was no apparent added value.

The Firmware that supports the new communication commands supports the
ability to force a write around of the adapter cache on a command by
command basis. In the attached patch we enable mode page 8 and 3f and
spoof the results as needed in order to *convince* the layers above to
submit writes with the FUA (Force Unit Attention) bit set if the file
system or application requires it, if the Firmware supports the write
through, or instead to submit a SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE if the Firmware does
not. The added value here is for file systems that benefit from this
functionality and for clustering or redundancy scenarios.

Caveats: By convince, we are responding with a minimal short 3 byte
content mode page 8, with only the data the SCSI layer needs and that we
can fill confidently. Applications that require the customarily larger
mode page 8 results may be confused by this(?). The FUA, or the
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE only affect the cache on the controller. Our firmware
by default ensure that the underlying physical drives of the array have
their cache turned off so normally this is not a problem.

This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 and was unit tested
on RHEL5. Since this is a feature enhancement, it should not be
considered for any current stabilization efforts.

was blindly trying to use aac_internal_transfer to copy the container

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.

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.

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
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Take the expose_physicals flag and allow the user to select default (physicals
available via /dev/sg), exposed (physicals available via /dev/sd for
experimental reasons) and hidden (physicals blocked from all access). This
expands the functionality of the previous expose_physicals insmod parameter
which was added to support some experimental configurations.

Replace all if/else packet formations with platform function calls. This is in
recognition of the proliferation of read and write packet types, and in the
need to migrate to up-and-coming packets for new products.

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

Received from Mark Salyzyn:

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.
