Subject: MPT Fusion SAS 2.6.31 regression, crash on heavy load
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:25:09 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200909292225.09188.denys@visp.net.lb> (raw)
Filled a bugzilla entry, no answer for 3 days, and at same time it is clear
regression.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14242
While on 2.6.30.5 MPT SAS controller worked fine, on 2.6.31 it fails on heavy
operations and start spitting errors to dmesg (they vary). Failsystems also
stopped, and i am unable to reboot box properly (only over sysrq or
hardreset).
x86, Sun Fire X4100, 8 GB RAM, PAE kernel enabled, module loaded with default
options
I upgrade BIOS, LSI controller BIOS to latest version, it didn't fix the bug.
I cannot do bisection, because this is loaded server and semi-embedded system.
But i can do tests of patches or reverse specific commits, if you point me to
exact commit.
http://www.nuclearcat.com/files/dmesg.ok from 2.6.30.5 kernel
http://www.nuclearcat.com/files/dmesg.fail from 2.6.31.1 kernel
http://www.nuclearcat.com/files/config.gz config from 2.6.31.1 kernel
Let me know if you need any additional information.
Additionally - i have few other similar units (X4100), but with less amount of
RAM (4GB),HDD's(2 only), less load (but still enough heavy at some moments)
working ok. I dont think it is hardware issue, since it works on 2.6.30 very
stable, and worked on other (older) kernels for 1 year and more. It is clear
regression and i guess dangerous regression (causing data loss on high
loads). I will try to bisect some changes on mpt driver today.
Please CC me on answers, i am not subscribed at any SCSI/LSI list.
Crossposting to linux-kernel, since there is no mails about issue from
linux-scsi.
