The ID we want to remove from the aacraid driver will not be available until Q1 
next year,
so no customer currently has it yet. If they are running an older kernel, the 
aacraid driver
will support this ID but in 'sync' mode, their servers will continue to boot. 

If they upgrade to a newer kernel and do not know  to configure the smartpqi
driver and the system fails to boot, they can fall back to the previous
kernel and configure the smartpqi driver.

This patch is for newer kernels going forward. We need to eliminate the
duplication for newer kernels. If both drivers support the same ID
they will have to know how to rebuild their initrd with a specific driver
order. Customers that have servers configured with both older aacraid devices
and the newer smartpqi devices will definitely have to do this. Having to 
rebuild the kernel with smartpqi enabled would seem to be an easier
customer experience.

The officially supported driver for this ID is smartpqi.

I updated smartpqi/Kconfig and added
Documentation/scsi/smartpqi.txt to
inform users of the
need to configure the smartpqi driver moving forward for aacraid
Series 9
controllers.

Hope this helps.

That's not going to be enough: this ID has been in the aacriad driver
since 2011.  That means anyone who finally gets hold of one of these
new cards but uses a distro that doesn't have the new smartpqi driver
will be attached via the aacraid one.

Given that the life times of enterprise distributions is two years and
you're releasing this smartpqi soon, the overlap is unavoidable.

James


We can make sure that we mention the need to enable the smartpqi
driver in the documentation provided/posted for these new controllers
otherwise the aacraid driver will not be able to fully support the new
controller features.

Yes we do have a plan. 
We have also run tests where we install using the aacraid driver, then
upgrade to the smartpqi driver. For the major distros, the iniitrd was
updated with the new smartpqi driver.

The distros currently have this patch applied already and we are concerned
that it will be redacted the next time they pull from kernel.org.

Is there something I can add to the smartpqi.txt document that
can make this more clear?

Don

Understood. Although we believe that this change should be in sync with the 
addition of the new smartpqi driver. 
Both drivers would be included in the initrd so the boot works.  Again, we are 
mostly concerned about the 4.9 kernel going forward.

That was the purpose of the smartpqi.txt file. Plus we are planning additional 
documentation when the new controllers are available to help with the
migration. And we are working with the distros beforehand to make sure the new 
drivers are in the right place. 

Thanks,
Scott

Not after this change hits. Then systems that only have aacraid in the initrd 
will fail to boot.

So you have a plan in place with the distros to migrate the initrd images? 
Without being told, some will only install the modules the previous initrd  was 
configured for.

That's ok because for previous distros the new controller will work with the 
previous aacraid driver, although with non-optimal performance.

What we want to do is sync up at 4.9 so going forward only the new smartpqi 
driver will attach to these new controllers.

One more note:
A little extra clarification. Removing these IDs from the aacraid driver has no 
impact on the driver
loading for currently available controllers.

These IDs are only used on new controllers and we want the new smartpqi driver
to only be used with these new controllers. Now that the smartpqi
driver is in for-next we need to get rid of this overlap.
