      [SCSI] aacraid: fix File System going into read-only mode · cacb6dc3
      These particular problems were reported by Cisco and SAP and customers
      as well. Cisco reported on RHEL4 U6 and SAP reported on SLES9 SP4 and
      SLES10 SP2. We added these fixes on RHEL4 U6 and gave a private build
      to IBM and Cisco. Cisco and IBM tested it for more than 15 days and
      they reported that they did not see the issue so far. Before the fix,
      Cisco used to see the issue within 5 days. We generated a patch for
      SLES9 SP4 and SLES10 SP2 and submitted to Novell. Novell applied the
      patch and gave a test build to SAP. SAP tested and reported that the
      build is working properly.
      
      We also tested in our lab using the tools "dishogsync", which is IO
      stress tool and the tool was provided by Cisco.
      
      Issue1:  File System going into read-only mode
      
      Root cause: The driver tends to not free the memory (FIB) when the
      management request exits prematurely. The accumulation of such
      un-freed memory causes the driver to fail to allocate anymore memory
      (FIB) and hence return 0x70000 value to the upper layer, which puts
      the file system into read only mode.
      
      Fix details: The fix makes sure to free the memory (FIB) even if the
      request exits prematurely hence ensuring the driver wouldn't run out
      of memory (FIBs).
      
      
      Issue2: False Raid Alert occurs
      
      When the Physical Drives and Logical drives are reported as deleted or
      added, even though there is no change done on the system
      
      Root cause: Driver IOCTLs is signaled with EINTR while waiting on
      response from the lower layers. Returning "EINTR" will never initiate
      internal retry.
      
      Fix details: The issue was fixed by replacing "EINTR" with
      "ERESTARTSYS" for mid-layer retries.
