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.

Actually there are several but one is trivially fixed

1.	FSACTL_GET_NEXT_ADAPTER_FIB ioctl does not lock dev->fib_list
but needs to
2.	Ditto for FSACTL_CLOSE_GET_ADAPTER_FIB
3.	It is possible to construct an attack via the SRB ioctls where
the user obtains assorted elevated privileges. Various approaches are
possible, the trivial ones being things like writing to the raw media
via scsi commands and the swap image of other executing programs with
higher privileges.

So the ioctls should be CAP_SYS_RAWIO - at least all the FIB manipulating
ones. This is a bandaid fix for #3 but probably the ioctls should grow
their own capable checks. The other two bugs need someone competent in that
driver to fix them.

we are not even promised that ptrdiff_t is large enough to hold a pointer,
just enough to hold a difference between two pointers within the same object).

The patch is *much* smaller than the description. I am attempting to
answer to those that want to understand an issue that was reported in
May this year.

If a Sunrise Lake based card that requires an alternate reset mechanism
is set up to ignore the commanded IOP_RESET it reports 0x00000010
(IOP_RESET ignored) instead of 0x3803000F (use alternate reset mechanism
to reset all cores), and thus the reset platform function decides to
switch to IOP_RESET_ALWAYS because the reset platform function
parameters indicate that we *need* to reset the card. IOP_RESET_ALWAYS
then responds with the 0x3803000F return code, but alas we treat this as
an error instead of using the alternate reset mechanism (put a 0x03 into
the register offset 0x38). The reset fails, but the fact that the
IOP_RESET_ALWAYS command was issued has put the card in a purposeful
shutdown state in preparation for the alternate hardware reset to be
applied. Yuck.

IOP_RESET is ignored in internal production cards, typically to ensure
that we catch all adapter lockup issues without the driver progressing
further, so this would not appear to be a field issue and thus this
patch was destined to be only in the internal Adaptec source tree.
IOP_RESET_ALWAYS is reserved for
kexec/kdump/FirmwareUpdate/AutomatedTestFrames so we did not function as
expected in any case. Also in the past we have had OEMs specifically
request that cards not be resetable after a BlinkLED/FirmwareAssert for
one reason or another and To head off the possibility that the Sunrise
Lake based cards would suffer a similar fate, we propose the enclosed
fix.

Yinghai Lu of SUN had a pre-production card with IOP_RESET disabled when
he reported an issue to the linux kernel list back in May regarding a
kexec problem resulting from this reset being ignore. His fix was to
update the Firmware to one that did not ignore the IOP_RESET. Previous
kernels did not attempt to reset the adapter and that is why it surfaced
as a regression in his hands.

9005:0285:9005:02b5     Adaptec 5445

Customer running an application that issues SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE calls
directly noticed the broad stroke of the current implementation in the
aacraid driver resulting in multiple applications feeding I/O to the
storage causing the issuing application to stall for long periods of
time. By only waiting for the current WRITE commands, rather than all
commands, to complete; and those that are in range of the
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE call that would associate more tightly with the
issuing application before telling the Firmware to flush it's dirty
cache, we managed to reduce the stalling. The Firmware itself still
flushes all the dirty cache associated with the array ignoring 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.

Sundry cleanups:
1) Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
2) Make sure probe worked before recalling the SCSI command to finalize
processing.
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
caller when unnecessary.
7) take container target id at the beginning, rather than referencing
scmd_id() to pick it up.

Moves quiesce, thread and interrupt shutdown into aacraid drivers'

superfluous reset of the adapter during a (clean) kexec.

This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid
broken' but it is unlikely to affect the root cause (issue likely
present in both kexec and kdump). This patch reduces the chance the
problem will occur with a kexec. The fix for root cause is currently
expected to be the minimum value check to the aacraid.startup_timeout

Under some conditions associated with the unclean transition to kdump,
the aacraid adapters will view the array as foreign and not export it to
prevent access and data manipulation. The solution is to submit a commit
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.

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.

In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all

My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false

I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
to LKML yesterday:
  [PATCH] scatterlist.h needs types.h

Thanks for the help from Steve Fox and Duane Cox investigating this
issue, I'd like to report that we found the problem. The issue is with
the patch Steve Fox isolated below, by not accommodating older adapters
properly and issuing a command they do not support when retrieving
storage parameters about the arrays. This simple patch resolves the
problem (and more accurately mimics the logic of the original code
before the patch).

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).
