RE: [GIT PULL] SCSI fixes for 4.17-rc2

James, The mpt3sas should be changed to mptsas. Just responding back to have record on this problem is with old mptsas and not with mpt3sas managed controllers. Thanks Sathya -Original Message- From: linux-scsi-ow...@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-scsi-ow...@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of

RE: [PATCH v1] scsi: mpt3sas: Use lo_hi_writeq() helper

The writeq is defined to ensure both the registers are written without any interleaved access in between the two writels in 32 bit systems. Also we want to retain the order of writing the registers. If needed I can dig out the issue we have faced using writeq in 32 bit systems (happened five/six

RE: [bug report] scsi: mpt3sas: Added support for nvme encapsulated request message.

Dan, The MPI structures are of variable length and can go up to a maximum of 128 bytes (a MPI frame size) and as MPI standard the variable length MPI structures are left out with the last element as a single dword array. Can we ignore the warning? If not we need to modify the MPI structure to

RE: [PATCH] mpt3sas: Do scsi_remove_host() before deleting SAS PHY objects

Our understanding is the relationship between the SCSI host and SAS end devices is a parent-child and before ripping of SCSI host we need to rip of all the children. Why the enclosure ends up trying to re-parent the SCSI device from the enclosure to the SAS PHY even after we remove the SAS Phy?.
