Bug ID: 191471
Summary: Mp2Sas and Mpt3Sas (now mpxsas) drivers are spinning
forever in the IRQ handler under load condition
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 4.7
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: SCSI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No
When there are a lot of IO requests queued for the HW, the IRQ handler of the
mpxsas driver spins forever until all requests are serviced.
Spinning in the IRQ handler forever is a bad design and causes stalls on the
other cores that is unrelated to this request.
A simple solution has been posted here but rejected by the maintainer as the
maintainer has been looking to offload only the slow path to task context.

Further requests for details to resolve the issue has been unanswered.
Logging the issue here for awareness.
