201. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
21 (reduced interrupt operation). In this mode, IO completion
22 interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
23 driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
24 to be completed. A timer-based interrupt has also been added
25 to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
26 indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

361. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
37 FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
38 (max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
39 this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
40 by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
41 with megaraid_sas. Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
42 duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
43 issue. 2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
44 10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
45 cmd.

731. When MegaSAS driver receives reset call from OS, driver waits in reset
74routine for max 3 minutes for all pending command completion. Now driver will
75call completion routine every 5 seconds from the reset routine instead of
76waiting for depending on cmd completion from isr path.

86 1. Memory Manager for IOCTL removed for 2.6 kernels.
87 pci_alloc_consistent replaced by dma_alloc_coherent. With this
88 change there is no need of memory manager in the driver code

98
99 It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
100 use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead. The dev
101 is just &pci_dev->dev.

105 3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
106 4. Hibernation support added
107 5. Performing diskdump while running IO in RHEL 4 was failing. Fixed.

117i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors

119 The driver now waits for 10 seconds to elapse instead of 5 (as in
120 previous release) to resume IO.

129i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
130
131 Fix: The driver is now throttling IO.
132 Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
133 process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
134 is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
135 resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
136 from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
137
138ii. FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
139 as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
140 Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
141 mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
142 Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
143 the cmd and return sucess without sending down to FW.

1571. 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.
1582. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
159 (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS
