Hannes:
We have already worked on "wait_event" usage in "megasas_issue_blocked_cmd".
That code will be posted by LSI once we received test result from LSI Q/A team.
If you see the current OCR code in Linux Driver we do "re-send the IOCTL
command".
MR product does not want IOCTL timeout due to some reason. That is why even if
FW faulted, Driver will do OCR and re-send all existing <Management commands>
(IOCTL comes under management commands).
Just for info. (see below snippet in OCR code)
/* Re-fire management commands */
for (j = 0 ; j < instance->max_fw_cmds; j++) {
cmd_fusion = fusion->cmd_list[j];
if (cmd_fusion->sync_cmd_idx != (u32)ULONG_MAX)
{
cmd_mfi =
instance->cmd_list[cmd_fusion->sync_cmd_idx];
if (cmd_mfi->frame->dcmd.opcode ==
MR_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO) {
megasas_return_cmd(instance,
cmd_mfi);
megasas_return_cmd_fusion(instance, cmd_fusion);
Current <MR> Driver is not designed to add <timeout> for DCMD and IOCTL path. [
I added timeout only for limited DCMDs, which are harmless to continue after
timeout ]
As of now, you can skip this patch and we will be submitting patch to fix
similar issue.
But note, we cannot add complete "wait_event_timeout" due to day-1 design, but
will try to cover wait_event_timout for some valid cases.
