Subject: 2.6.23-rc9 boot failure (megaraid?)

2.6.23-rc9 fails to boot for me; 2.6.22.9 works fine.

System is a Dell Poweredge with PERC 2/DC with RAID1 volume.

commit 3f6270ef76f2ce5c134615a470685d6c2a66c07e
Author: FUJITA Tomonori <[email protected]>
Date: Mon May 14 20:17:27 2007 +0900

[SCSI] megaraid_old: convert to use the data buffer accessors

- remove the unnecessary map_single path.

- convert to use the new accessors for the sg lists and the
parameters.

Jens Axboe <[email protected]> did the for_each_sg cleanup.

This is the problem piece I think. We've reintroduced a very old bug:

commit 51c928c34fa7cff38df584ad01de988805877dba
Author: James Bottomley <[email protected]>
Date: Sat Oct 1 09:38:05 2005 -0500

[SCSI] Legacy MegaRAID: Fix READ CAPACITY

Some Legacy megaraid cards can't actually cope with the scatter/gather
version of the READ CAPACITY command (which is what we now send them
since altering all SCSI internal I/O to go via the block layer). Fix
this (and a few other broken megaraid driver assumptions) by sending
the non-sg version of the command if the sg list only has a single
element.

Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <[email protected]>

So what we have to do is put back the check for use_sg == 1 and send
that as a bulk transfer command.

Sorry again. Needs to check sg count before dma mapping.

Great, thanks for testing!

Can you try the following patch instead of the above patch?

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=119137033016550&w=2


I know the changes are pretty trivial and it should work...

Thanks. I thought that it will be sent via scsi-misc because the scsi
accessor patch introduced this bug. But either is ok with me.

BTW, please add my sign-off.

[SCSI] megaraid_old: fix scatter/gather for legacy megaraid cards

Some legacy megaraid cards (!has_64bit_addr case) can't cope with the
catter/gather version of the READ CAPACITY command. We need to send
the non-sg version of the command if the sg list only as a single
element.

commit 3f6270ef76f2ce5c134615a470685d6c2a66c07e reintroduced this bug,
which was fixed long ago (commit 51c928c34fa7cff38df584ad01de988805877dba).

If it only affects the driver _after_ the scsi accessor patch and as
such doesn't screw over git-block, then I'll drop it for sure.

Please excuse my comment in case this was already clear:

You are aware that this bug is a regression in 2.6.23-rc and the patch
should therefore go to Linus ASAP and not after the release of 2.6.23?

Oops, you are right. This should go via scsi-rc-fixes tree ASAP.

Irk, the scsi accessor stuff is already in, I forgot and thought it was
pending for 2.6.24. So rush the patch upstream please!
