14.00.00.01-fbsd.
Their description of the changes is as follows:
1. Copyright contents has been changed in all respective .c
and .h files
2. Support for WRITE12 and READ12 for direct-io (warpdrive only)
has been added.
3. Driver has added checks to see if Drive has READ_CAP_16
support before sending it down to the device.
If SPC3_SID_PROTECT flag is set in the inquiry data, the
device supports protection information, and must support
the 16 byte read capacity command, otherwise continue without
sending read cap 16. This will optimize driver performance,
since it will not send READ_CAP_16 to the drive which does
not have support of READ_CAP_16.
4. With new approach, "MPTIOCTL_RESET_ADAPTER" IOCTL will not
use DELAY() which is busy loop implementation.
It will use <msleep> (Better way to sleep without busy
loop). Also from the HBA reset code path and some other
places, DELAY() is replaced with msleep() or "pause()",
which is based on sleep/wakeup style calls. Driver use
msleep()/pause() instead of DELAY based on CAN_SLEEP/NO_SLEEP
flags to avoid busy loop which is not required all the
time.e.a
a. While driver is getting loaded, driver calls most of the
commands with NO_SLEEP.
b. When Driver is functional and it needs Reinit of HBA,
CAN_SLEEP flag is used.
5. <mpslsi> driver is not Endian safe. It will not work on Big
Endian machines like Sparc and PowerPC platforms because it
assumes it is running on a Little Endian machine.
Driver code is modified such way that it does not assume CPU
arch is Little Endian.
a. All places where Driver interacts from HBA to Host, it
converts Little Endian format to CPU format.
b. All places where Driver interacts from Host to HBA, it
converts CPU format to Little Endian.
6. Findout memory leaks in FreeBSD Driver and resolve those,
such as memory leak in targ's luns creation/deletion.
Also added additional checks to see memory allocation
success/fail.
7. Add loginfo prints as debug message, i.e. When FW sends any
loginfo, Driver should print those as debug message.
This will help for debugging purpose.
8. There is possibility to get config request timeout. Current
driver is able to detect config request timetout, but it does
not do anything on config_request timeout. Driver should
call mps_reinit() if any request_poll (which is called as
part of config_request) is time out.
9. cdb length check is required for 32 byte CDB. Add correct mpi
control value for 32 bit CDB as below while submitting SCSI IO
Request to controller.
mpi_control |= 4 << MPI2_SCSIIO_CONTROL_ADDCDBLEN_SHIFT;
10. Check the actual status of Message unit reset
(mps_message_unit_reset).Previously FreeBSD Driver just writes
MPI2_FUNCTION_IOC_MESSAGE_UNIT_RESET and never check the ack
(it just wait for 50 millisecond). So, Driver now check the
status of "MPI2_FUNCTION_IOC_MESSAGE_UNIT_RESET" after writing
it to the FW.
Now it also checking for whether doorbell ack uses msleep with
proper sleep flags, instead of <DELAY>.
11. Previously CAM does not detect Multi-Lun Devices. In order to
detect Multi-Lun Devices by CAM the driver needs following change
set:
a. There is "max_lun" field which Driver need to set based on
hw/fw support. Currently LSI released driver does not set
this field.
b. Default of "max_lun" should not be 0 in OS, but it is
currently set to 0 in CAM layer.
c. Export max_lun capacity to 255
12. Driver will not reset target info after port enable complete and
also do Device removal when Device remove from FW. The detail
description is as follows
a. When Driver receive WD PD add events, it will add all
information in driver local data structure.
b. Only for WD, we have below checks after port enable
completes, where driver clear off all information retrieved
at #1.
if ((sc->WD_available &&
(sc->WD_hide_expose == MPS_WD_HIDE_ALWAYS)) ||
(sc->WD_valid_config && (sc->WD_hide_expose ==
MPS_WD_HIDE_IF_VOLUME)) {
// clear off target data structure.
}
It is mainly not to attach PDs to OS.
FreeBSD does bus rescan as older Parallel scsi style. So Driver
needs to handle which Drive is visible to OS. That is a reason
we have to clear off targ information for PDs.
Again, above logic was implemented long time ago. Similar concept
we have for non-wd also. For that, LSI have introduced different
logic to hide PDs.
Eventually, because of above gap, when Phy goes offline, we
observe below failure. That is what Driver is not doing complete
removal of device with FW. (which was pointed by Scott)
Apr 5 02:39:24 Freebsd7 kernel: mpslsi0: mpssas_prepare_remove
Apr 5 02:39:24 Freebsd7 kernel: mpssas_prepare_remove 497 : invalid handle 0xe
Now Driver will not reset target info after port enable complete
and also will do Device removal when Device remove from FW.
13. Returning "CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT" instead of "CAM_TID_INVALID"
error code on request to the Target IDs that have no devices
conected at that moment. As if "CAM_TID_INVALID" error code
is returned to the CAM Layaer then it results in a huge chain
of errors in verbose kernel messages on boot and every
hot-plug event.

1. Fixed timeout specification for the msleep in mps_wait_command().
Added 30 second timeout for mps_wait_command() calls in mps_user.c.
2. Make sure we call mps_detach_user() from the kldunload path.
3. Raid Hotplug behavior change.
The driver now removes a volume when it goes to a failed state,
so we also need to add volume back to the OS when it goes to
opitimal/degraded/online from failed/missing.
Handle raid volume add and remove from the IR_Volume event.
4. Added some more debugging information.
5. Replace xpt_async(AC_LOST_DEVICE, path, NULL) with
mpssas_rescan_target().
This is to work around a panic in CAM that shows up when adding a
drive with a rescan and removing another device from the driver thread
with an AC_LOST_DEVICE async notification.
This problem was encountered in testing with the LSI sas2ircu utility,
which was used to create a RAID volume from physical disks. The driver
has to create the RAID volume target and remove the physical disk
targets, and triggered a panic in the process.
The CAM issue needs to be fully diagnosed and fixed, but this works
around the issue for now.
6. Fix some memory initialization issues in mps_free_command().
7. Resolve the "devq freeze forever" issue. This was caused by the
internal read capacity command issued in the non-head version of the
driver. When the command completed with an error, the driver wasn't
unfreezing thd device queue.
The version in head uses the CAM infrastructure for getting the read
capacity information, and therefore doesn't have the same issue.
8. Bump the version to 13.00.00.00-fbsd. (this is very close to LSI's
internal stable driver 13.00.00.00)

This involves significant changes to the mps(4) driver, but is not a
complete rewrite.
Some of the changes in this version of the driver:
- Integrated RAID (IR) support.
- Support for WarpDrive controllers.
- Support for SCSI protection information (EEDP).
- Support for TLR (Transport Level Retries), needed for tape drives.
- Improved error recovery code.
- ioctl interface compatible with LSI utilities.
mps.4: Update the mps(4) driver man page somewhat for the driver
changes. The list of supported hardware still needs to be
updated to reflect the full list of supported cards.
conf/files: Add the new driver files.
mps/mpi/*: Updated version of the MPI header files, with a BSD style
copyright.
mps/*: See above for a description of the new driver features.
modules/mps/Makefile:
Add the new mps(4) driver files.
