Yes, this patch makes sure that the Adapter is shut down correctly, and
thus when the kexec driver loads, it does not automatically reset the
adapter during initialization. This regression was a result of adding
code to the driver to detect if the adapter needed a reset as a result
of an unclean
Customer running an application that issues SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE calls
directly noticed the broad stroke of the current implementation in the
aacraid driver resulting in multiple applications feeding I/O to the

Sundry cleanups:
1) Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
2) Make sure probe worked before recalling the SCSI command to finalize

3) _aac_probe_container2 and _aac_probe_container1 return value goes
unused, change return to void.
4) Use a lower depth pointer reference to pick up the driver

Subject: [PATCH] ips: convert to use the data buffer accessors
Since Markus removed himself from the maintenance of this driver ... I
will offer my ACK if he is truly absent since this driver is apparently
primarily in support of the legacy Babylon class of I2O adapters from
DPT and Adaptec.

This patch is more like a spelling correction than a fix. It was
discovered that if we had a busy status return from the Adapter for the
SCSI srb command to a physical component, that we returned
DID_NO_CONNECT rather than what one would expect DID_BUS_BUSY.

Support displaying long serial number information. Reuse sysfs handler
internally as helper.

Customer running an application that issues SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE calls

Report VPD inquiry page 0x80 with an unique array creation serial number
(CUID). When an array is created, the metadata stored on the physical
drives gets an unique serial number. This serial number remains constant
through array morphing or migration to other controllers. This patch is
a forward
During an Adapter Initiated scan request, the query disk ioctl reports a
value of 2 rather than 1 for the valid field. This presents a problem
for some legacy management applications.

Incorrect dma mask was used for blinkled (firmware assert) recovery or
user initiated reset during initialization portion. Ensure that all
callers of aac_fib_map_free null out the fib allocation references to
prevent multiple free. Although serious sounding, no reports of these
problems have
ACK.
Unit tested with Adaptec RAID management applications with apparently no
issue. Will push this into matrix testing in the coming week.

Minor unimportant cuttings from the floor bundled in with a version
