81. Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
9 OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
10 will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
11 affact the OS behavious.
12
13 To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
14 a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
15 will change the function calls and add the reset function
16 related to this two chips.
17
18 b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
19 which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue. Driver
20 will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
21 finished.
22
23 c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
24 OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
25 cmds until the OCR finished.
26
27 d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
28 state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
29 reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
30
31 e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
32 OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
33
34 f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
35 OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
36
372. Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
38 application which driver will support the device update. So application
39 will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
40 from the system.
413. In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
42 failed state. Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
43 this three times reset.
444. Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
45 customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
46 controller.
