I think we have to completely different issues mixed together in this
thread, so I changed the subject here.

The reports above for 39de65aa2c3e, 1a0b6abaea78, were for a DMA fault.

The original message from Baoquan He was for a NULL pointer
dereference in hpsa_enter_performant_mode(), which is very likely the
same problem you're seeing, Steve.

I changed the subject to "hpsa NULL pointer in
hpsa_enter_performant_mode()", so hopefully we can chase the NULL
pointer issue there and leave the original, already long thread, for
the DMA fault issue.

Converged to this:

[scameron@localhost linux]$ git bisect good
b9af4937e6f5b55b6ffb2a92ec580e79e1401825 is the first bad commit

Which doesn't make the issue immediately obvious to me, but I will continue looking into it.

Ok, I think I've got it. trans_support is uninitialized in
hpsa_put_ctlr_into_performant_mode(). The compiler was warning about
this during my git bisect, which I should have picked up on because
I'm sure that the patches which I made were not giving me warnings
in my code base. I diffed from my code base and immediately I see
the missing code. Not sure what happenned to the code that
initializes that, but in any case a patch to fix it will be
following shortly.
