[PATCH] Add locking to mlx(4)
I have patches to add locking to mlx(4) and mark it MPSAFE. The patches are from HEAD but should apply to 8 or 9. If you test it on 8 or 9 please enable INVARIANTS for at least the initial testing. Thanks. Given that this is a driver for older hardware, if no one is able to test these patches, then I will remove the driver from HEAD after committing these fixes. http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/mlx_locking.patch -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
[PATCH] Make ida(4) MPSAFE and a host of other fixes
ida(4) is a driver for older Compaq RAID adapters (PCI and EISA). It is one of the few remaining non-MPSAFE storage drivers. I have a patch to add locking to it, but while doing that I fixed several other issues including incorrect bus_dma support (it didn't handle deferred callbacks and EINPROGRESS at all). It also did not pre-allocate dma maps but attempted to create them on the fly (despite a comment claiming that it did pre-allocate them). It now probes disks using a configintrhook rather than using polled commands. The drive number for each logical disk is passed to the child disk device via ivars. I've added bus_dma sync ops for the hardware QCB accesses. I've also reworked it's queuing mechanism so that it should now queue multiple commands to the controller (before it only queued one command at a time even though it had free QCBs). The patch compiles, but I have no hardware to test it. Given that this is an old driver, if I can't find anyone to test it, I will remove it from HEAD after committing the fixes (so if someone shows up in the future there is a better base to start from). http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/ida_locking_dma.patch -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Get ports tree of the current pkgng repository
Hi, I don't know if this came up already, but not as far as I know. So, I was thinking it would be nice to add a mechanism to pkgng, which enables the user to get the ports tree corresponding to the current repository. At least I've the problem that I really like the idea of the pkgng system, but I need a few custom build packages. For instance rawtherapee is not working for me with OpenMP, so I have to disable it to get it working, or I made some patches for openbox, which of course then needs to be compiled. In order to get not in conflict with a more recent ports tree the exact version of the repository build would be nice. At the moment I can think of two ways to implement it. The easiest way would be to add the ports tree as a packages into the repository. A more complicated thing is to add a mechanism to portsnap synchronised with the pkgng system to direct fetch it, or at least a revision number of the current repo, so you can check it out of the subversion.

Re: LSI 9240-4i 4K alignment
- Original Message - From: "George Kontostanos" gkontos.m...@gmail.com It still really smells like something higher up the layers than the controller tbh. We have tried many combinations with different drives. Any other suggestions? See below Confused as your 9240-4i is a SAS2008 based card so you "shouldnt" be seeing any difference as it should be supported just fine under mps. The cards we have here are 9211-8i if that helps. You are right, the chip specs say: LSISAS2108 RAID-on-Chip Hmm LSI's website says its a LSISAS2008 not a LSISAS2108 http://www.lsi.com/channel/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9240-4i.aspx The drives are identified as mfisyspd0, mfisyspd1, etc. Are you actually using HW RAID volumns then instead of direct disks? If so I would advice configuring the disks as passthrough. What does pciconf -lv say? On boot I see the following here to 2008 chip controller:- == /var/run/dmesg.boot == mps0: port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xfaf3c000-0xfaf3,0xfaf4-0xfaf7 irq 26 at device 0.0 on pci7 mps0: Firmware: 11.00.00.00 mps0: IOCCapabilities: 185c mps0: [ITHREAD] == pciconf -lv == mps0@pci0:7:0:0: class=0x010700 card=0x30201000 chip=0x00721000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)' class = mass storage subclass = SAS I suspect reading around that the MegaRAID cards are have SAS chips on board but are superseed by the RAID part hence mfi vs mps I wonder if you could flash with the IT firmware instead of IR to make it show as mps instead of mfi?

Re: LSI 9240-4i 4K alignment
- Original Message - From: "George Kontostanos" I know. The problem with that controller is that for some reason it doesn't like gpart. I have gnoped the drives directly and it seems to be working so far. It still really smells like something higher up the layers than the controller tbh. In addition to this we're running LSI 2008 based controllers here on 8.2-RELEASE + manually merged in mps driver with ZFS just fine. They aren't running 4k aligned but they are working well. Right, they fall under the mps driver like the following: LSI Logic SAS2004 (4 Port SAS) LSI Logic SAS2008 (8 Port SAS) LSI Logic SAS2108 (8 Port SAS) LSI Logic SAS2116 (16 Port SAS) LSI Logic SAS2208 (8 Port SAS) Confused as your 9240-4i is a SAS2008 based card so you "shouldnt" be seeing any difference as it should be supported just fine under mps. The cards we have here are 9211-8i if that helps. Regards Steve This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

I was referring to this thread, which I then also had a stab at: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-December/064953.html That never progressed to a technical level so it only suffices to reduce the time frame.
