Patch to update controller names, fix bug, add 2 new controllers
This patch updates controller names and adds 2 new controllers. Those names/IDs are already upstream. It also addresses a bug for the P700m controller and all later controllers. The entry for the P700m was missing in the product table. The previous patch also addressed this bug but was not documented as such.
Please use this patch for Update 8.

Description: Include latest driver for new controller support Architectures (mark all that apply) 32-bit x86 64-bit AMD64/Intel EM64T Dependencies: External links: Priority (H,M,L): High Target Releases: RHEL 4.8 Target Release Date: Drivers or hardware dependency: Target Kernel: 3. Business Justification: a. Why is this feature needed? To support new controllers b. What hardware does this enable? storage c. Forecast, volume or high end platform? d. Any configuration info? e. When needed? f. Are there other dependencies (drivers). 4. Status: a. Is code accepted upstream? If so, what version or patch? 5. Hardware to Red Hat? --- Additional comment from mschmidt on 2008-05-20 10:05:58 EDT --- *** Bug 446755 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional comment from mike.miller on 2008-07-16 16:44:56 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=311995) Update new controller names This patch updates the names of 5 new controllers and removes 5 that were cancelled. Please consider this for 5.3. --- Additional comment from mike.miller on 2008-07-16 16:54:18 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=312000) Patch to dynamically set queue depth This patch changes the way we set queue depth for each controller. Instead of arbitrarily assigning some value we now read the controller config table to determine how many commands are supported by the controller. We then subtract 4 to leave room for ioctls. The latest controllers added support a mode of operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support 64 commands. So under load the user is bombarded with annoying "fifo full" messages. We also spin until something completes so IO becomes backed up and system performance is very poor. This is a bug fix. Please consider this for inclusion in 5.3.
