Kashyap D Desai 731b75614d Problem statement:
MFI linked list in megaraid_sas driver is used for mfi-mpt pass-through commands.
This list can be corrupted due to many possible race conditions in driver and
eventually we may see kernel panic.

One example -
MFI frame is freed from calling process as driver send command via polling method and interrupt
for that command comes after driver free mfi frame (actually even after some other context reuse
the mfi frame). When driver receive MPT frame in ISR, driver will be using the index of MFI and
access that MFI frame and finally in-used MFI frames list will be corrupted.

High level description of new solution -
Free MFI and MPT command from same context.
Free both the command either from process (from where mfi-mpt pass-through was called) or from
ISR context. Do not split freeing of MFI and MPT, because it creates the race condition which
will do MFI/MPT list.

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.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
