137 2 Current Version : 00.00.04.31-rc1
138 3 Older Version : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
140 1. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
163 e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
164 OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
166 f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
167 OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
169 2. 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.
173 3. 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.
176 4. 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.

290 Sense buffer ptr data type in the ioctl path is reverted back
291 to u32 * as in previous versions of driver.
293 2. Fixed the driver frame count.
294 When Driver sent wrong frame count to firmware. As this
295 particular command is sent to drive, FW is seeing continuous
296 chip resets and so the command will timeout.
298 3. Add the new controller(1078DE) support to the driver
299 and Increase the max_wait to 60 from 10 in the controller
300 operational status. With this max_wait increase, driver will
301 make sure the FW will finish the pending cmd for KDUMP case.

322 1. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
323 (reduced interrupt operation). In this mode, IO completion
324 interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
325 driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
326 to be completed. A timer-based interrupt has also been added
327 to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
328 indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

338 1. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
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
346 10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
347 cmd.

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.
405 James <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
407 3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
408 4. Hibernation support added

431 i. Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
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.
440 ii. 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
445 the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

461 (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

482 3 Older Version : 00.00.03.03
484 i. Added Reboot notify
485 ii. Reduced by 1 max cmds sent to FW from Driver to make the reply_q_sz same
486 as Max Cmds FW can support

489 2 Current Version : 00.00.03.03
490 3 Older Version : 00.00.03.02
492 i. Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
493 New varible added to set dbg level.
494 ii. Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
495 iii. Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
496 3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
497 iv. Tasklet added for cmd completion
498 v. 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.
499 vi. megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
500 vii. Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

510 3 Older Version : 00.00.02.04
512 i. Added support for ZCR controller.
514 New device id 0x413 added.
516 ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
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.

540 i. Support for 1078 type (ppc IOP) controller, device id : 0x60 added.
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.

551 i. Register 16 byte CDB capability with scsi midlayer
553 "This patch properly registers the 16 byte command length capability of the
554 megaraid_sas controlled hardware with the scsi midlayer. All megaraid_sas
555 hardware supports 16 byte CDB's."

563 i. 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.

572 i. Code reorganized to remove code duplication in megasas_build_cmd.
574 "There's a lot of duplicate code megasas_build_cmd. Move that out of the different codepathes and merge the reminder of megasas_build_cmd into megasas_queue_command"
576 - Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
578 ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
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"
