Created attachment 573496 [details] System smolt profile Description of problem: I'm having a problem where my Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 HBA is locking up while controlling a mdadm RAID-6 array with the 3.2 and 3.3 kernels that have come out for FC16. Interestingly, if I stay with the old 3.1 kernel that was installed first for FC16, I don't get any lockups. The AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 has a Marvell 88se9485 controller and uses the mvsas driver, the version that seems to work with it is 0.8.2, while the version that seems to cause it to lock up is 0.8.16 (as reported in both cases by modinfo). I've seen the same behavior with both a RAID-6 and a RAID-10 array. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Problem driver appears to be mvsas 0.8.16, mvsas 0.8.2 does not show the same problems. How reproducible: Happens with a Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 HBA, controlling a RAID-6 or -10 array, with mvsas 0.8.16 driver, receives or sends a large amount of data. Data can come in at network (cable modem, for instance) speeds, or go out at USB2 speeds, and the hang can happen. Hangs are not, per se, size related, sometimes they happen with a small amount of data written or read (less than 1 Gig), other times they do not happen until over 320 Gigs have been transferred. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start data transfer 2.When activity LED on the card begins to flicker at approximately 1 second intervals and other drive-based activity on that card stops, card is locked. Actual results: Card freezes, often with files not closed, causing inodes to be cleared after a hard reset. Expected results: Data is transferred without a card lockup. Additional info:
