97 2 Current Version : 00.00.04.31-rc1
98 3 Older Version : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
100 1. Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
101 OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
102 will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
103 affact the OS behavious.
105 To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
106 a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
107 will change the function calls and add the reset function
108 related to this two chips.
110 b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
111 which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue. Driver
112 will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
115 c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
116 OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
117 cmds until the OCR finished.
119 d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
120 state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
121 reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
123 e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
124 OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
126 f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
127 OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
129 2. Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
130 application which driver will support the device update. So application
131 will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
133 3. In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
134 failed state. Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
135 this three times reset.
136 4. Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
137 customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2

148 context value larger than 32bit value issue.
150 2. Add the logic drive list to the driver. Driver will
151 keep the logic drive list internal after driver load.

249 1. Rollback the sense info implementation
250 Sense buffer ptr data type in the ioctl path is reverted back
251 to u32 * as in previous versions of driver.
253 2. Fixed the driver frame count.
254 When Driver sent wrong frame count to firmware. As this
255 particular command is sent to drive, FW is seeing continuous
256 chip resets and so the command will timeout.
258 3. Add the new controller(1078DE) support to the driver
259 and Increase the max_wait to 60 from 10 in the controller
260 operational status. With this max_wait increase, driver will
261 make sure the FW will finish the pending cmd for KDUMP case.

279 2 Current Version : 00.00.03.15
280 3 Older Version : 00.00.03.14
282 1. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
283 (reduced interrupt operation). In this mode, IO completion
284 interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
285 driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
286 to be completed. A timer-based interrupt has also been added
287 to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
288 indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

298 1. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
299 FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
300 (max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
301 this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
302 by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
303 with megaraid_sas. Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
304 duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
305 issue. 2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
306 10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT

335 1. When MegaSAS driver receives reset call from OS, driver waits in reset
336 routine for max 3 minutes for all pending command completion. Now driver will
337 call completion routine every 5 seconds from the reset routine instead of
338 waiting for depending on cmd completion from isr path.

349 pci_alloc_consistent replaced by dma_alloc_coherent. With this

361 It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
362 use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead. The dev
363 is just &pci_dev->dev.
365 James <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
367 3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
368 4. Hibernation support added

381 The driver now waits for 10 seconds to elapse instead of 5 (as in

391 i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
393 Fix: The driver is now throttling IO.
394 Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
395 process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
396 is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
397 resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
398 from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
400 ii. FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
401 as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
402 Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
403 mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
404 Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
405 the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

420 2. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead

513 "This patch properly registers the 16 byte command length capability of the
514 megaraid_sas controlled hardware with the scsi midlayer. All megaraid_sas
515 hardware supports 16 byte CDB's."

523 i. New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
524 The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.

532 i. Code reorganized to remove code duplication in megasas_build_cmd.
534 "There's a lot of duplicate code megasas_build_cmd. Move that out of the different codepathes and merge the reminder of megasas_build_cmd into megasas_queue_command"
536 - Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
538 ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
540 "MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE can't be redefined if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, we need to define a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 define so native binaries continue to work"
