1383 Older Version   : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
139
1401.	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.
144
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.
149
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.
154
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.
158
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.
162
163		e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
164		OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
165
166		f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
167		OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
168
1692.	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.
1733.	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.
1764.	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.

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

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

431i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
432
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.
439
440ii.	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.

4591. 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.
4602. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
461   (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

467i.	PCI_DEVICE macro used
468
469	Convert the pci_device_id-table of the megaraid_sas-driver to the PCI_DEVICE-macro, to safe some lines.

472ii.	All compiler warnings removed
473iii.	megasas_ctrl_info struct reverted to 3.02 release
474iv.	Default value of megasas_dbg_lvl set to 0
475v.	Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
476vi.	In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
477	cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by
478	Eric Sesterhenn

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

491
492i.	Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
493	New varible added to set dbg level.
494ii.	Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
495iii.	Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
496	3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
497iv.	Tasklet added for cmd completion
498v.	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.
499vi.	megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
500vii.	Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

513
514		New device id 0x413 added.
515
516ii.	Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
517
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.

542	are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or
543	xscale controllers.

551i.	Register 16 byte CDB capability with scsi midlayer
552
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."

563i.	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.
