RE: [PATCH v3 0/1] aacraid: Host adapter Adaptec 6405 constantly resets under high io load

Hi James,
Thanks for your response.
This issue seems to be slightly different and may have been originating from the drive itself (not too sure).

The original issue I was talking about would still occur with the missing legacy interrupt on certain processors.
We are still actively looking into the old "int-x missing" issue that we suspect might possibly originate from the patch.

I did see this error once with this patch when a drive was having issues:

Does that look related?
