We need to check the address that pci_alloc_consistent() returns since
it might fail.
When pci_alloc_consistent() fails, some IOMMUs set the dma_handle
argument to zero. So we can't use fibptr->hw_fib_pa directly here.

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

Seen:
kernel BUG at arch/i386/lib/usercopy.c:872
under a 2.6.18-8.el5 kernel. Traced it to a garbage-in/garbage-out
ioctl condition in the aacraid driver.
Adaptec's special ioctl scb passthrough needs to check the validity of
the individual scatter gather count fields to the maximum the adapter
supports. Doing so will have the side effect of preventing
copy_from_user() from bugging out while populating the dma buffers.
This is a hardening effort, issue was triggered by an errant version
of the management tools and thus the BUG should not be seen in the
field.

As JBOD devices (really just Simple Single Drive Volumes exported to

When aacraid spoofs READ_CAPACITY_16, it assumes that the data length
in the sg list is equal to allocation length in cdb. But sg can put
any value in scb so the driver needs to check both the data length in
the sg list and allocation length in cdb.
If allocation length is larger than the response length that the
driver expects, it clears the data buffer in the sg list to zero but
it doesn't need to do. Just setting resid is fine.

Point taken regarding the aacraid driver. Dropped the VALID bit, and
then did some cleanup/simplification of the set_sense procedure and
the associated parameters. Mike did some preliminary tests when the
VALID bit was dropped before the 'Re: [PATCH] [SCSI] sd: make error

SCSI subsystem does make this enclosed aacraid patch unnecessary, so
this aacraid patch is merely post battle ground cleanup. If the

Alan noticed the lack of locking surrounding the driver's dealings
with the fib context managed by the trio of ioctls that are used by
the RAID management applications to retrieve Adapter Initiated FIBs. I
merely expanded the fib lock to include the fib context. There have
been no field reports of any issues generally because the applications
are relatively static and do not come and go often enough to stress
this area. I bloated this patch a little with some space junk.

The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.
We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

Feature enhancement, adding a 'flags' entry that will reside in the
host controller's tree, with a newline separated list of arbitrary
ascii named features that indicate whether the combination of driver
and controller has support for said feature. Breaking from the
one-line output typical of sysfs entries, newline was added to tailor
for grep, or simple gets line by line string match within an
application. I added one for a compiler time check for existence of
debug print output, one for an optional manifest defined enhanced
status reporting in the logs, and one for runtime reporting whether
the controller and driver supports arrays larger than 2TB. Adaptec's
storage management software uses the last flag to determine whether to
make available the creation of arrays larger than 2TB, otherwise a
warning is posted.

Actually there are several but one is trivially fixed
1. FSACTL_GET_NEXT_ADAPTER_FIB ioctl does not lock dev->fib_list
but needs to
2. Ditto for FSACTL_CLOSE_GET_ADAPTER_FIB
3. It is possible to construct an attack via the SRB ioctls where
the user obtains assorted elevated privileges. Various approaches are
possible, the trivial ones being things like writing to the raw media
via scsi commands and the swap image of other executing programs with
higher privileges.
So the ioctls should be CAP_SYS_RAWIO - at least all the FIB manipulating
ones. This is a bandaid fix for #3 but probably the ioctls should grow
their own capable checks. The other two bugs need someone competent in that
driver to fix them.

Due to an internal limit associated with the AdapterTypeText field,
SMC required a product ID that overloaded the combined vendor and
product ID. A decision was made to ship the SMC products without a
vendor string dropping the defacto space that used to delineate vendor
and product to boot. To correct this, we needed to adjust the code in
the driver to parse out the vendor and product strings for the
adapter. We match of 'AOC' in the AdapterTypeText, if so we set the
vendor to SMC and place the entire AdapterTypeText into the product
field.
This only affects the cosmetic presentation of the Adapter vendor and
product in the logs and in sysfs.

The adapter queue is divided up equally to all the arrays to prevent
command starvation to any individual array. On the other hand,
physical targets are only granted a queue depth of one each. The code
prior to this patch used to deal with the incremental discovery of
targets, but the driver knows how many arrays are present prior to the
scan so this knowledge is used to generate a better estimate for the
queue depth.
Remove the capability of 'physical=0' from preventing access to the
class of adapters that have the RAID/SCSI mode of operation since none
of the physicals on the SCSI channel are candidates ever for an array.
As always, the user can override this default queue depth policy by
making the appropriate adjustments utilizing sysfs.

In experiments in the lab we managed to trigger an Adapter firmware
panic (BlinkLED) coincidentally while several pass-through ioctl
command from the management software were outstanding on a bug only
present on a class of RAID Adapters that require a hardware reset
rather than a commanded reset. The net result was an attempt to time
out the management software command as if it came from the SCSI layer
resulting in an OS panic.
Adapters that use commanded reset, management commands are returned
failed by the Adapter correctly. The adapter firmware panic that
resulted in this condition was also resolved, and there were no
adapters in the field with this specific firmware bug so we do not
expect any field reports. This is a rare or unlikely corner condition,
and no reports have ever been forwarded from the field.

Big endian systems issues discovered in the aacraid driver. Somewhat
reverses a patch from November 7th of last year that removed swap

when they should have been assigned to an le32 array.
This patch is largely inert for any little endian processor

to registered applications when the adapter or associated hardware was
reset due to ill health. A rare corner case occurrence, also largely

Controller 3/Di
As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D9133 it was
discovered that the PERC line of controllers lacked a key 64 bit
ScatterGather capable SCSI pass-through function. The adapters are still
capable of 64 bit ScatterGather I/O commands, but these two can not be
mixed. This problem was exacerbated by the introduction of the SCSI
Generic access to the DASD physical devices.
The fix for users before this patch is applied is aacraid.dacmode=3D0 on
the kernel command line to disable 64 bit I/O.
The enclosed patch introduces a new adapter quirk and tries to limp
along by enabling pass-through in situations where memory is 32 bit
addressable on 64 bit machines, or disable the pass-through functions
altogether. I expect that the check for 32 bit addressable memory to be
controversial in that it can be incorrect in non-Dell non-Intel systems
that PERC would never be installed under, the alternative is to disable
pass-through in all cases which could be reported as another regression.
Pass-through is used for SCSI Generic access to the physical devices, or
for the management applications to properly function.
In systems where this patch has disabled pass-through because it is
unsupportable in combination with I/O performance, the user can choose
to enable pass-through by turning off dacmode (aacraid.dacmode=3D0) or
limiting the discovered kernel memory (mem=3D4G) with an associated loss
in runtime performance. If we chose instead to turn off 64 bit dacmode
for the adapters with this quirk, then this would be reported as another
regression.
