1703 Older Version   : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
171
1721.	Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
173	OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
174	will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
175	affact the OS behavious.
176
177	To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
178		a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
179		will change the function calls and add the reset function
180		related to this two chips.
181
182		b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
183		which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue.  Driver
184		will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
185		finished.
186
187		c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
188		OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
189		cmds until the OCR finished.
190
191		d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
192		state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
193		reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
194
195		e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
196		OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
197
198		f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
199		OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
200
2012.	Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
202	application which driver will support the device update.  So application
203	will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
204	from the system.
2053.	In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
206	failed state.  Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
207	this three times reset.
2084.	Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
209	customer can use the input paramenter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
210	controller.

223	keep the logic drive list internal after driver load.

3701. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
371	FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
372	(max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
373	this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
374	by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
375	with megaraid_sas.  Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
376	duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
377	issue.  2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
378	10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
379	cmd.

420	1. Memory Manager for IOCTL removed for 2.6 kernels.
421	   pci_alloc_consistent replaced by dma_alloc_coherent. With this
422	   change there is no need of memory manager in the driver code

433	It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
434	use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead.  The dev
435	is just &pci_dev->dev.

439	3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
440	4. Hibernation support added
441	5. Performing diskdump while running IO in RHEL 4 was failing. Fixed.

451i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
452
453	The driver now waits for 10 seconds to elapse instead of 5 (as in
454	previous release) to resume IO.

462
463i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
464
465	Fix:	The driver is now throttling IO.
466	Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
467	process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
468	is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
469	resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
470	from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
471
472ii.	FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
473	as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
474	Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
475	mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
476	Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
477	the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

4911. 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.
4922. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
493   (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

499i.	PCI_DEVICE macro used
500
501	Convert the pci_device_id-table of the megaraid_sas-driver to the PCI_DEVICE-macro, to safe some lines.
502
503		- Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de>
504ii.	All compiler warnings removed
505iii.	megasas_ctrl_info struct reverted to 3.02 release
506iv.	Default value of megasas_dbg_lvl set to 0
507v.	Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
508vi.	In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
509	cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by
510	Eric Sesterhenn

517ii.	Reduced by 1 max cmds sent to FW from Driver to make the reply_q_sz same
518	as Max Cmds FW can support

523
524i.	Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
525	New varible added to set dbg level.
526ii.	Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
527iii.	Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
528	3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
529iv.	Tasklet added for cmd completion
530v.	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.
531vi.	megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
532vii.	Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

545
546		New device id 0x413 added.
547
548ii.	Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
549
550		Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
551		This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
552		it is generated by the controller.

574	are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or
575	xscale controllers.

595i.	New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
596	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.
