    hpsa: fix issues with multilun devices · 9a4178b7
    shane.seymour authored
    A regression was introduced into the hpsa driver a while back so
    non-zero LUNs of multi-LUN devices may no longer be presented via
    a SAS based Smart Array. I have not done a bisection to discover
    the change that caused it.
    
    The CISS firmware specification (available on sourceforge)
    defines an 8 byte lunid that describes devices that the Smart
    Array can see/present to the system. The current code in the hpsa
    driver attempts to find matches for non-zero LUNs with LUN 0 for
    a bus/target by zeroing out byte 4 of the lunid and find a match.
    
    This method is sufficient for SCSI based Smart Arrays because
    byte 5 is always 0. For SAS based Smart arrays byte 5 of the
    lunid contains the path number for a multipath device and
    either one or two bits (the documentation does not define how
    many bits are used but it appears it may be one only) that
    indicate if the given path number in byte 5 must always be
    used to access that device. Byte 5 may not always be zero.
    
    The following are lunids (spaces added for clarity) for a
    MSL2024 single drive library connected via a H241 Smart Array:
    
    00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 (changer)
    00 00 00 00 00 80 00 01 (tape)
    
    In the 4th byte (counting from 0) you can see that the tape
    is LUN 0 and the changer is LUN 1. The 0x80 set in the 5th byte
    for the tape drive means the driver should force access to
    path 0 (the library in this case was connected to one path only
    anyway).
    
    After the changes we can see the following in the dmesg output:
    
    scsi 0:3:0:0: RAID              HP       H241             1.18 \
    PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
    scsi 0:2:0:0: Sequential-Access HP       Ultrium 6-SCSI   354W \
    PQ: 0 ANSI: 6
    scsi 0:2:0:1: Medium Changer    HP       MSL G3 Series    8.70 \
    PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
    
    Showing that the changer is correctly identified as LUN 1 of
    bus 2 target 0. Before the change the changer device is not seen.
