Description of problem:
Hi,

We have a RH7.3 system running kernel 2.4.18-19.7.xsmp.

We are getting panics with messages like these:

aacraid: panic: length of sg list is too long

It seems to happen after we read a lot of data in from a raid
device.

Please help, this problem is a show-stopper.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run a program which reads a large amount of data
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  system panic

Expected Results:  normal operation

Additional info:

The disks (an entire RAID container) were moved from a system
running 2.4.18-10smp.

Any ideas?
Comment 2 Alan Cox 2003-02-19 11:52:30 UTC 
I'm initially baffled. The log you posted seems to show an ami megaraid not an
aacraid. Also
the base aacraid driver doesnt contain the error strings you report, although
clearly you got
an error from somewhere.

Can you attach an lspci -vxx
Also can you tell me what app is triggering the problem - is this just big
cp/tar or stuff like
oracle in use ?
Finally was it stable with the -10 kernel ?
Comment 3 Need Real Name 2003-02-19 14:34:36 UTC 
Thanks for helping us with this problem.  

It happens when we do a lot of I/O, using one of our user-level applications.
I may be able to reproduce it using a big tar command.

I don't know yet if it will be stable in the -10 kernel.  I will be doing
some tests on it.

We do have a Megaraid board installed, but nothing is connected to it.
The internal drives are connected to the aacraid controller.  

We also have three external SCSI disks, connected to an adaptec PCI card.
(Those are the SR2000 entries shown above.)

Here is the output from the lspci:

Do you think that rebuilding the RAID-5 data container would help?
Comment 5 Alan Cox 2003-02-19 22:43:19 UTC 
I dont that is involved. What firmware revision do you have. The message is
apparently coming from the firmware not the linux side (ie we fed it something
that made it unhappy). I need to talk to Adaptec about this.
Comment 6 Need Real Name 2003-02-19 22:58:57 UTC 
The firmware version is 2.7.0 build 3153.

I have some more messages from the firmware log:

   Nameserv: bogus mount index requested[0]  (I think they start at 0)
   ...
   Nameserv: bogus mount index requested[31]

   Writecache: out of NVERR, into the NVUP state

   Panic: length of sg list is too big

   Fatal error: see system event log

I found these by going into the percraid configuration at bootup, and then
using ctrl-P to see the firmware log.
Comment 7 Need Real Name 2003-02-20 00:21:37 UTC 
One thing that seems strange is that the SCSI IDs on the containers
that seem to have the problems are {0,2}.  I would have expected {0,1}, and
indeed our other similar system uses {0,1}.

Could that be related?
Comment 8 Need Real Name 2003-02-20 01:24:19 UTC 
I ran another set of tests with it.  Here is some more info:

   The "bigus" messages in the firmware log start with [3].

   I unmounted the partition which occupies all of conmtainer 2
   and reproduced the error.

   I ran a big 'tar' on container 2 and the error did not occur.

I am now thinking maybe the error is with container 0 (the mirrored
O/S container).

Any ideas?
