1401. Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
141 OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
142 will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
143 affact the OS behavious.
144
145 To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
146 a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
147 will change the function calls and add the reset function
148 related to this two chips.
149
150 b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
151 which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue. Driver
152 will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
153 finished.
154
155 c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
156 OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
157 cmds until the OCR finished.
158
159 d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
160 state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
161 reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
162
163 e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
164 OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
165
166 f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
167 OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
168
1692. Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
170 application which driver will support the device update. So application
171 will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
172 from the system.
1733. In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
174 failed state. Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
175 this three times reset.
1764. Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
177 customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
178 controller.

325 driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds

327 to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed

339 FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
340 (max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
341 this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
342 by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
343 with megaraid_sas. Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
344 duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
345 issue. 2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from

400
401 It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
402 use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead. The dev
403 is just &pci_dev->dev.

431i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
432
433 Fix: The driver is now throttling IO.
434 Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
435 process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
436 is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
437 resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
438 from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
439
440ii. FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
441 as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
442 Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
443 mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
444 Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
af901ca1 445 the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

4591. Added new memory management module to support the IOCTL memory allocation. For IOCTL we try to allocate from the memory pool created during driver initialization. If mem pool is empty then we allocate at run time.
4602. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
461 (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

467i. PCI_DEVICE macro used
468
469 Convert the pci_device_id-table of the megaraid_sas-driver to the PCI_DEVICE-macro, to safe some lines.

472ii. All compiler warnings removed
473iii. megasas_ctrl_info struct reverted to 3.02 release
474iv. Default value of megasas_dbg_lvl set to 0
475v. Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
476vi. In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
477 cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by

484i. Added Reboot notify
485ii. Reduced by 1 max cmds sent to FW from Driver to make the reply_q_sz same
486 as Max Cmds FW can support

491
492i. Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
493 New varible added to set dbg level.
494ii. Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
495iii. Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
496 3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
497iv. Tasklet added for cmd completion
498v. If FW in operational state before firing INIT, now we send RESET Flag to FW instead of just READY. This is used to do soft reset.
499vi. megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
500vii. Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

512i. Added support for ZCR controller.
513
514 New device id 0x413 added.
515
516ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
517
518 Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
519 This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
520 it is generated by the controller.

541 During initialization, depending on the device id, the template members
542 are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or
543 xscale controllers.

563i. New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
564 The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.

578ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
579
580 "MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE can't be redefined if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, we need to define a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 define so native binaries continue to work"
