When the mps(4) and mpr(4) drivers need to reinitialize the firmware, they sometimes need to reallocate all of the memory allocated by the driver. The reallocation happens whenever the IOC Facts change. That should only happen after a firmware upgrade. If the reinitialization happens as a result of a timed out command sent to the card, the command that timed out and triggered the reinit may have been freed if iocfacts_allocate() reallocated all memory. If the caller attempts to access the command after that, the kernel will panic because the caller will be dereferencing freed memory. The solution is to set a flag in the softc when we reallocate, and avoid dereferencing the command strucure if we've reallocated. The changes are largely the same in both drivers, since mpr(4) is a derivative of mps(4). o In iocfacts_allocate(), if the IOC Facts have changed and we need to reallocate, set the REALLOCATED flag in the softc. o Change wait_command() to take a struct mps_command ** instead of a struct mps_command *. This allows us to NULL out the caller's command pointer if we have to reinit the controller and the data structures get reallocated. (The REALLOCATED flag will be set in the softc if that has happened.) o In every place that calls wait_command(), make sure we handle the case where the command is NULL after the call. o The mpr(4) driver has mpr_request_polled() which can also reinitialize the card. Also check for reallocation there. Reviewed by: scottl, slm MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Spectra Logic

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel
and installkernel
targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel
and installkernel
targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
