130e340c353SYang, Bo
131e340c353SYang, Bo1.	Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
132e340c353SYang, Bo	OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
133e340c353SYang, Bo	will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
134e340c353SYang, Bo	affact the OS behavious.
135e340c353SYang, Bo
136e340c353SYang, Bo	To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
137e340c353SYang, Bo		a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
138e340c353SYang, Bo		will change the function calls and add the reset function
139e340c353SYang, Bo		related to this two chips.
140e340c353SYang, Bo
141e340c353SYang, Bo		b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
142e340c353SYang, Bo		which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue.  Driver
143e340c353SYang, Bo		will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
144e340c353SYang, Bo		finished.
145e340c353SYang, Bo
146e340c353SYang, Bo		c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
147e340c353SYang, Bo		OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
148e340c353SYang, Bo		cmds until the OCR finished.
149e340c353SYang, Bo
150e340c353SYang, Bo		d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
151e340c353SYang, Bo		state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
152e340c353SYang, Bo		reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
153e340c353SYang, Bo
154e340c353SYang, Bo		e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
155e340c353SYang, Bo		OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
156e340c353SYang, Bo
157e340c353SYang, Bo		f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
158e340c353SYang, Bo		OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
159e340c353SYang, Bo
160e340c353SYang, Bo2.	Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
161e340c353SYang, Bo	application which driver will support the device update.  So application
162e340c353SYang, Bo	will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
163e340c353SYang, Bo	from the system.
164e340c353SYang, Bo3.	In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
165e340c353SYang, Bo	failed state.  Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
166e340c353SYang, Bo	this three times reset.
167e340c353SYang, Bo4.	Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
168e340c353SYang, Bo	customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
169e340c353SYang, Bo	controller.

18063bad45dSYang, Bo
18163bad45dSYang, Bo2.	Add the logic drive list to the driver.  Driver will
18263bad45dSYang, Bo	keep the logic drive list internal after driver load.

285127ce971Sbo yang	When Driver sent wrong frame count to firmware.  As this

315f28cd7cfSbo yang	interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the

331f28cd7cfSbo yang	(max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,

427f28cd7cfSbo yang	is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is

5541341c939SSumant Patroi.	New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
5551341c939SSumant Patro	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.
