Bjorn/Robin,
Apologies for delay. Here is one quick suggestion as we have seen similar
issue (not exactly similar, but high probably to have same issue) while
controller is configured on VM as pass-through and VM reboot abruptly.
In that particular issue, driver interact with FW which may require chip
reset to bring controller to operation state.
Relevant patch was submitted for only Older controller as it was only seen
for few MegaRaid controller. Below patch already try to do chip reset, but
only for limited controllers...I have attached one more patch which does
chip reset from driver load time for Thunderbolt/Invader/Fury etc. (In
your case you have Thunderbolt controller, so attached patch is required.)
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg67288.html
Please post the result with attached patch.
Thanks, Kashyap

Re: megaraid_sas: "FW in FAULT state!!", how to get more debug output? [BKO63661]
[+cc Jean, Myron]
Hello megaraid maintainers,
Have you been able to take a look at this at all? People have been
reporting this issue since 2012 on upstream, Debian, and Ubuntu, and
now we're getting reports on SLES.
My theory is that the Linux driver relies on some MegaRAID initialization
done by the option ROM, and the bug happens when the BIOS doesn't execute
the option ROM.
If that's correct, you should be able to reproduce it on any system by
booting Linux (v3.3 or later) without running the MegaRAID SAS 2208 option
ROM (either by enabling a BIOS "fast boot" switch, or modifying the BIOS to
skip it). If the Linux driver doesn't rely on the option ROM, you might
even be able to reproduce it by physically removing the option ROM from the
MegaRAID.

Ok, I have done more testing on it (40+ boots), and I think we can show the problem is somewhere in how the BIOS/EFI/ROM brings up the card in FastBoot more, or how it leaves the card. I attached your dmesg and lspci logs to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63661, thank you! You did a huge amount of excellent testing and analysis, and I'm sorry that we haven't made progress using the results. I still think this is a megaraid_sas driver bug, but I don't have enough evidence to really point fingers. Based on your testing, before 3c076351c402 (PCI: Rework ASPM disable code), megaraid_sas worked reliably. After 3c076351c402, megaraid_sas does not work reliably when BIOS Fast Boot is enabled. Fast Boot probably means we don't run the option ROM on the device. Your dmesg logs show that in the working case, BIOS has enabled the device. In the failing case it has not. They also show that when Fast Boot is enabled, there's a little less MTRR write-protect space, which I'm guessing is space that wasn't needed for shadowing option ROMs. I suspect megaraid_sas depends on something done by the option ROM, and that prior to 3c076351c402, Linux did something to ASPM that was enough to make megaraid_sas work. I attached a couple debug patches to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63661 that log all the ASPM configuration the PCI core does. One applies to 69166fbf02c7 (the pre-3c076351c402 commit), and the other applies to v4.1-rc1. Could you boot both of those with pci=earlydump and attach the dmesg logs to the bugzilla? If you boot with the BIOS CMOS reset settings (Fast Boot enabled and ASPM set to BIOS), I expect the 69166fbf02c7- based kernel to work, and the v4.1-rc1-based one to fail. Full boot of the system was difficult on the 3.2 kernels, they didn't make it to userspace for other stuff being too new. For testing, I compiled CONFIG_MEGARAID_SAS=y on 3.2, and =m on 3.16-rc4; that way when the initramfs userspace failed, the megaraid load was captured over IPMI serial. I've done a lot of the analysis below while capturing. I was going to be booting many times, so I flipped the 'Fast Boot' option back to Disabled, so I could more easily get to the BIOS settings to change options while testing. When I did so, an accidental boot on a kernel that previously failed suddenly worked, leading me to raise an eyebrow, and this expanded my test matrix more. 3 kernels, 6 different BIOS config combinations (2x3) = 18 test cases Each configuration was booted at least twice; if the result of two boots was not identical, I booted a third time and took the majority result. All kernels had no boot params involving PCI specified (none of pci=, pcie*=, disable_msi*). Kernels: K.1:

Bjorn/Robin, Apologies for delay. Here is one quick suggestion as we have seen similar issue (not exactly similar, but high probably to have same issue) while controller is configured on VM as pass-through and VM reboot abruptly. In that particular issue, driver interact with FW which may require chip reset to bring controller to operation state. Relevant patch was submitted for only Older controller as it was only seen for few MegaRaid controller. Below patch already try to do chip reset, but only for limited controllers...I have attached one more patch which does chip reset from driver load time for Thunderbolt/Invader/Fury etc. (In your case you have Thunderbolt controller, so attached patch is required.) http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg67288.html Please post the result with attached patch.

I attached your dmesg and lspci logs to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63661, thank you! You did
a huge amount of excellent testing and analysis, and I'm sorry that we
haven't made progress using the results.
I still think this is a megaraid_sas driver bug, but I don't have
enough evidence to really point fingers.
Based on your testing, before 3c076351c402 ("PCI: Rework ASPM disable
code"), megaraid_sas worked reliably. After 3c076351c402,
megaraid_sas does not work reliably when BIOS Fast Boot is enabled.
Fast Boot probably means we don't run the option ROM on the device.
Your dmesg logs show that in the working case, BIOS has enabled the
device. In the failing case it has not. They also show that when
Fast Boot is enabled, there's a little less MTRR write-protect space,
which I'm guessing is space that wasn't needed for shadowing option
ROMs.
I suspect megaraid_sas depends on something done by the option ROM,
and that prior to 3c076351c402, Linux did something to ASPM that was
enough to make megaraid_sas work.
I attached a couple debug patches to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63661 that log all the
ASPM configuration the PCI core does. One applies to 69166fbf02c7
(the pre-3c076351c402 commit), and the other applies to v4.1-rc1.
Could you boot both of those with "pci=earlydump" and attach the dmesg
logs to the bugzilla? If you boot with the BIOS CMOS reset settings
(Fast Boot enabled and ASPM set to "BIOS"), I expect the 69166fbf02c7-
based kernel to work, and the v4.1-rc1-based one to fail.

I'm not very practiced with Karnaugh maps, so correct me if my
understanding is wrong:
- Fast Boot disabled: all kernels always passed
- Fast Boot enabled, ASPM set to Force L0s
