Subject: [PATCH] mptspi : Bug fix to prevent infinite nested domain validation
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 17:44:53 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060918234453.GA7576@lsil.com> (raw)
This event occurs when dv sends an inquiry to a device,
and the device never returns, thus timing out.
This results in a task_abort, followed by host_reset.
>From host_reset, domain validation is invoked again, and this
loop repeats itself forever.
Invoking domain validation from host_reset is required, as
device go to slowest speed, asyn narrow.
The fix I propose is to keep a bitwise flag `hd->spi_pending`
that keeps track of the devices that are in progress of domain
validation. Then when host_reset occurs, we see if the
flag is non-zero, then take a different path which
program devices to old nego parameters, instead of calling dv
again. We do nothing for the device that currently in
the middle of dv. When `hd->spi_pending` is zero, then
dv is performed on all devices.
Please note, we tried using the starget_data->dv_pending flag
from host_reset, by calling dv for devices not pending,
and this doesn't work. The reason is if there is a faulty device
with a high id, such as 10, by the time we loop back to that id,
the dv_pending flag was always was zero, thus dv looped again.
Using the `hd->spi_pending` prevents nested dv, and at
the same time programs the devices back to previous nego.
