      [SCSI] mpt2sas : WarpDrive New product SSS6200 support added · 0bdccdb0
      Kashyap, Desai 提交于
      This patch has Support for the new solid state device product SSS6200
      from LSI and relavent features w.r.t SSS6200.
      
      The major feature added in this driver is supporting Direct-I/O to the
      SSS6200 storage.There are some additional changes done to avoid exposing
      the RAID member disks to the OS and hiding/exposing drives based on the
      OEM Specific Flag in Manufacturing Page10 (this is required to handle
      specific changes in the SSS6200 firmware).
      
      Each and every changes are listed below.
      1. Hiding IR related messages.
      For SSS6200, the driver is modified not to print IR related events.
      Even if the debugging is enabled the IR related messages will not be displayed.
      In some places if there is a need to display a message related to IR the
      string "IR" is replaced with string "DD" and the string "volume" is replaced
      with "direct drive". But the function names are not changed hence there are
      some places where the reference to volume can be seen if debug level is set.
      
      2. Removed RAID transport support
      In Linux the user can retrieve RAID volume information from the sysfs directory.
      This support is removed for SSS6200.
      
      3. Direct I/O support.
      The driver tries to enable direct I/O when a volume is reported to the driver
      by the firmware through IRCC events and the driver does this just before
      reporting to the OS, hence all the OS issued I/O can go through direct path
      if they can, The first validation is to see whether the manufacturing page10
      flag is set to expose all drives always. If that is set, the driver will not
      enable direct I/O and displays the message "DDIO" is disabled globally as
      drives are exposed. The driver checks whether there is more than one volume
      in the controller, if so the direct I/O will be disabled globally for all
      volumes in the controller and the message displayed will be "DDIO is disabled
      globally as number of drives > 1.
      If retrieving number of PD is failed the driver will not enable direct I/O
      and displays the message Failure in computing number of drives DDIO disabled.
      If memory allocation for RAIDVolumePage0 is failed, the driver will not enable
      direct I/O and displays the message Memory allocation failure for
      RVPG0 DDIO disabled.  If retrieving RAIDVolumePage0 is failed the driver will
      not enable direct I/O and displays the message Failure in retrieving
      RVPG0 DDIO disabled
      
      If the number of PD in a volume is greater than 8, then the direct I/O will
      be disabled.
      If any of individual drives handle retrieval is failed then the DD-IO will
      be disabled.
      If the volume is not RAID0 or if the block size is not 512 then the DD-IO will
      be disabled.
      If the volume size is greater than 2TB then the DD-IO will be disabled.
      If the driver is not able to find a valid stripe exponent using the configured
      stripe size then the DD-IO will be disabled
      
      When the DD-IO is enabled the driver will check every I/O request issued to
      the storage and checks whether the request is either
      READ6/WRITE6/READ10/WRITE10, if it is and if the complete I/O transfer
      is within a stripe size then the I/O is redirected to
      the drive directly instead of the volume.
      
      On completion of every I/O, if the completion is failure means if the reply
      is address reply with a reply frame associated with it, then the type of I/O
      will be checked, if the I/O is direct then the I/O will be retried to
      the volume once.
