Hi folks,
Question about the reset timeout of the 3w_sas:
For an unknown reason my 3ware 9750 RAID controller became
unresponsive. kernel.log:

The interesting point is that apparently the reset didn't succeed.
"Controller not ready during reset sequence" at 06:43:42. The 3ware
web interface says the controller was busy to write the cache to disk:
Oct 16, 2016 06:45:03AM (0x04:0x005E): Cache synchronization completed: unit=0
I have the impression that the timeout (60 secs?) in the driver is
insufficient. Do you think the status check in twl_reset_sequence()
could be improved?
There were no disk failures, of course.
Every helpful comment is highly appreciated.

Microcontroller Error = FW crashed and will be reset on the next I/O
timeout or ioctl() timeout, whichever happens first.
It could be the iSCSI target code or initiator sent a SCSI CDB not
supported by 3ware 9750 firmware (or malformed CDB), or your 3ware
card is going bad, most likely the later.

Cache sync happens after an online controller reset. Previously
acknowledged write back cache entries are flushed to disk at this
time.
>> The 3ware web interface says the controller was busy to write the cache to disk
It is not the case that the controller was performing some long cache
flush interval, > 60 seconds, such that you would need to adjust any
timeout values in the controller reset sequence code, i.e.
twl_reset_sequence().
