[Regression] mptsas won't boot with 2.6.35-rc2

[Regression] mptsas won't boot with 2.6.35-rc2

[john stultz]

With 2.6.35-rc2 one of my LS21 boxes stopped booting. I'm seeing:

Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.15
mptsas 0000:03:04.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; probably buggy MP table
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup

mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x2, action 0
mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery
mptbase: ioc0: Attempting Retry Config request type 0x1, page 0x2, action 0



Where as 2.6.34 with the same .config boots fine:

Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.14
mptsas 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19

Although from the warning, this may be irq routing related, not driver
related. Any suggestions?

thanks

John,

I have seen similar issue in past and It was solve at pci  subsystem level.
I am not sure what was a change but yes it was IRQ mapping issue at pci subsystem of OS.

So my suggestion to you is use 2.6.34 where things are working fine and see what a behavior is with 
3.04.14 driver and 3.04.15 driver.
