controller, but make it optional. After a problem report from Andrew Boyer, it looks like the LSI chip may have issues (the watchdog timer fired) if too many aborts are sent down to the chip at the same time. We know that task management commands are serialized, and although the manual doesn't say it, it may be a good idea to just send one at a time. But, since I'm not certain that this is necessary, add a tunable and sysctl variable (hw.mps.%d.allow_multiple_tm_cmds) to control the driver's behavior. mps.c: Add support for the sysctl and tunable, and add a comment about the possible return values to mps_map_command(). mps_sas.c: Run all task management commands through two new routines, mpssas_issue_tm_request() and mpssas_complete_tm_request(). This allows us to optionally serialize task management commands. Also, change things so that the response to a task management command always comes back through the callback. (Before it could come via the callback or the return value.) mpsvar.h: Add softc variables for the list of active task management commands, the number of active commands, and whether we should allow multiple active task management commands. Add an active command flag. mps.4: Describe the new sysctl/loader tunable variable. Sponsored by: Spectra Logic Corporation |
