scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com 67c99a72e3 [SCSI] hpsa: fix NULL dereference in hpsa_put_ctlr_into_performant_mode()
Initialize local variable trans_support before it is used rather
than after.  It is supposed to contain the value of a register on the
controller containing bits that describe which transport modes the
controller supports (e.g. "performant", "ioaccel1",  "ioaccel2").  A
NULL pointer dereference will almost certainly occur if trans_support
is not initialized at the right point.  If for example the uninitialized
trans_support value does not have the bit set for ioaccel2 support when it
should be, then ioaccel2_alloc_cmds_and_bft() will not get called as it
should be and the h->ioaccel2_blockFetchTable array will remain NULL
instead of being allocated.  Too late, trans_support finally gets
initialized with the correct value with ioaccel2 mode bit set,
which later causes calc_bucket_map() to be called to fill in
h->ioaccel2_blockFetchTable[].  However h->ioaccel2_blockFetchTable
is NULL because it didn't get allocated because earlier trans_support
wasn't initialized at the right point.

Scott Teel dd0e19f3ce [SCSI] hpsa: add controller base data-at-rest encryption compatibility ioaccel2
Add controller-based data-at-rest encryption compatibility
to ioaccel2 path (HP SSD Smart Path).

Encryption feature requires driver to supply additional fields
for encryption enable, tweak index, and data encryption key index
in the ioaccel2 request structure.

Encryption enable flag and data encryption key index come from
raid_map data structure from raid offload command.

During ioaccel2 submission, check device structure's raid map to see if
encryption is enabled for the device. If so, call new function below.

Add function set_encrypt_ioaccel2 to set encryption flag, data encryption key
index, and calculate tweak value from request's logical block address.

Scott Teel e863d68e48 [SCSI] hpsa: rescan devices on ioaccel2 error
Allow driver to schedule a rescan whenever a request fails on the ioaccel2 path.
This eliminates the possibility of driver getting stuck in non-ioaccel mode.

IOaccel mode (HP SSD Smart Path) is disabled by driver upon error detection.
Driver relied on idea that request would be retried through normal path, and a
subsequent error would occur on that path, and be processed by controller
firmware.  As part of that process, controller disables ioaccel mode and later
reinstates it, signalling driver to change modes.

In some error cases, the error will not duplicate on the standard path,
so the driver could get stuck in non-ioaccel mode.
To avoid that, we allow driver to request a rescan during the next run of the
rescan thread.

Stephen M. Cameron 76438d087f [SCSI] hpsa: poll controller to detect device change event
For shared SAS configurations, hosts need to poll Smart Arrays
periodically in order to be able to detect configuration changes
such as logical drives being added or removed from remote hosts.
A register on the controller indicates when such events have
occurred, and the driver polls the register via a workqueue
and kicks off a rescan of devices if such an event is detected.
Additionally, changes to logical drive raid offload eligibility
are autodetected in this way.

SG_IO's and other non REQ_TYPE_FS i/o's which could get kicked all the way back
to the application, which may have no idea that the command needs resubmitting
and likely no way to resubmit it in such a way the that driver can recognize it
as a resubmit and send it down the normal RAID path.  So we just always send
non REQ_TYPE_FS i/o's down the normal RAID path, never down the "fast path".

Commit 254f796b9f updated

This was causing MSI-X registration to drop down to INTx

initialisation will become confused and cause the machine
to stall during boot.

This patch fixes up the MSI-X registration to re-issue
the pci_enable_msix() call with the correct number of
MSI-X vectors. With that the hpsa driver continues to
works on older controllers like the P200.

If none are forthcoming, i/o in h->reqQ will be stalled.

To fix this, whenever fifo full condition is encountered, this
is recorded, and the interrupt handler examines this to see
if a fifo full condition was recently encountered when a
command completes and will call start_io to prevent i/o's in
h->reqQ from getting stuck.

I've only ever seen this problem occur when running specialized
test programs that pound on the the CCISS_PASSTHRU ioctl.

Stephen M. Cameron 0390f0c0df [SCSI] hpsa: cap CCISS_PASSTHRU at 20 concurrent commands.
Cap CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU as well.  If an attempt is made
to exceed this, ioctl() will return -1 with errno == EAGAIN.

This is to prevent a userland program from exhausting all of
pci_alloc_consistent memory.  I've only seen this problem when
running a special test program designed to provoke it.  20
concurrent commands via the passthru ioctls (not counting SG_IO)
should be more than enough.
