We have 32 (MAXSGENTRIES) scatter gather elements embedded in the command. With all these, the total command size is about 576 bytes. However, the last entry in the block fetch table is 35. (the block fetch table contains the number of 16-byte chunks the firmware needs to fetch for a given number of scatter gather elements.) 35 * 16 = 560 bytes, which isn't enough. It needs to be 36. (36 * 16 == 576) or, MAXSGENTRIES + 4. (plus 4 because there's a bunch of stuff at the front of the command before the first scatter gather element that takes up 4 * 16 bytes.) Without this fix, the controller may have to perform two DMA operations to fetch the command since the first one may not get the whole thing. Signed-off-by:

The end of the function is reachable both when host is and is not NULL. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression E,E1; identifier f; statement S1,S2,S3; @@ if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...) { ... when != if (...) S1 else S2 when != E = E1 * E->f ... when any return ...; } else S3 // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

I may have an explanation for the LSI 1068 HBA hangs provoked by ATA pass-through commands, in particular by smartctl. First, my version of the symptoms. On an LSI SAS1068E B3 HBA running 01.29.00.00 firmware, with SATA disks, and with smartd running, I'm seeing occasional task, bus, and host resets, some of which lead to hard faults of the HBA requiring a reboot. Abusively looping the smartctl command, # while true; do smartctl -a /dev/sdb > /dev/null; done dramatically increases the frequency of these failures to nearly one per minute. A high IO load through the HBA while looping smartctl seems to improve the chance of a full scsi host reset or a non-recoverable hang. I reduced what smartctl was doing down to a simple test case which causes the hang with a single IO when pointed at the sd interface. See the code at the bottom of this e-mail. It uses an SG_IO ioctl to issue a single pass-through ATA identify device command. If the buffer userspace gives for the read data has certain alignments, the task is issued to the HBA but the HBA fails to respond. If run against the sg interface, neither the test code nor smartctl causes a hang. sd and sg handle the SG_IO ioctl slightly differently. Unless you specifically set a flag to do direct IO, sg passes a buffer of its own, which is page-aligned, to the block layer and later copies the result into the userspace buffer regardless of its alignment. sd, on the other hand, always does direct IO unless the userspace buffer fails an alignment test at block/blk-map.c line 57, in which case a page-aligned buffer is created and used for the transfer. The alignment test currently checks for word-alignment, the default setup by scsi_lib.c; therefore, userspace buffers of almost any alignment are given directly to the HBA as DMA targets. The LSI 1068 hardware doesn't seem to like at least a couple of the alignments which cross a page boundary (see the test code below). Curiously, many page-boundary-crossing alignments do work just fine. So, either the hardware has an bug handling certain alignments or the hardware has a stricter alignment requirement than the driver is advertising. If stricter alignment is required, then in no case should misaligned buffers from userspace be allowed through without being bounced or at least causing an error to be returned. It seems the mptsas driver could use blk_queue_dma_alignment() to advertise a stricter alignment requirement. If it does, sd does the right thing and bounces misaligned buffers (see block/blk-map.c line 57). The following patch to 2.6.34-rc5 makes my symptoms go away. I'm sure this is the wrong place for this code, but it gets my idea across. Acked-by:"Desai, Kashyap" <Kashyap.Desai@lsi.com> Signed-off-by:

A driver needs to be ready to take an interrupt as soon as it registers an interrupt handler.

Commit 64deb6ef changed the way status read buffers are handled but forgot to adjust the mempool to the new size. Add the call to resize the mempool after the exchange config data. Also use the define instead of the hard coded number in the fsf callback for consistency. Reviewed-by:

Trying to read the FC host statistics on an offline adapter results in a 5 seconds wait. Reading the statistics tries to issue an exchange port data request which first waits up to 5 seconds for an entry in the request queue. Change the strategy for getting a free SBAL to exit when the queue is stopped. Reading the statistics will then fail without the wait. Reviewed-by:

It was possible to overflow the buffer used to print out the formatted version of the resource path. The fix is to limit the number of bytes that get formatted. This patch also updates the ipr_show_resource_path function to display the resource address for devices that are attached to adapters that don't support resource paths. Signed-off-by:

Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge above the video device. Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk the size of the bridge window, but since d65245c3 PCI: don't shrink bridge resources the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges. So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34 behavior. Fixes regression https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16009. Reported-by:

There are devices out there which are PCI Hot-plug controllers with compaq PCI IDs, but are not bridges, hence have pdev->subordinate NULL. But cpqphp expects the pointer to be non-NULL. Add a check to the probe function to avoid oopses like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000050 IP: [<f82e3c41>] cpqhpc_probe+0x951/0x1120 [cpqphp] *pdpt = 0000000033779001 *pde = 0000000000000000 ...
