Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/7] megaraid_sas: Send SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command to
firmware
On 17.10.2016 12:24, Sumit Saxena wrote:
megaraid_sas driver returns SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command back to SCSI
layer without sending it to firmware as firmware takes care of flushing
cache.
This patch will change the driver behavior wrt SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
handling.
If underlying firmware has support to handle the SYNCHORNIZE_CACHE,
driver will send it for firmware otherwise complete it back to SCSI
layer with SUCCESS immediately.
If Firmware handle SYNCHORNIZE_CACHE for both VD and JBOD
"canHandleSyncCache" bit in scratch pad register(offset 0x00B4) will
be set.
This behavior can be controlled via module parameter and user can
fallback to old behavior of returning SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE by driver only
without sending it to firmware.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the logic inverted?
when fw_sync_cache_support is true it means that there is a flash cache
or a
battery and we don't have to send the command down ?
If "instance->fw_sync_cache_support" is set to true, it means driver can
send SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE to firmware(firmware has infrastructure to support
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE).
If "instance->fw_sync_cache_support" is set to false, it means FW does not
support to handle SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE and FW will flush cache during
shutdown.
Thanks, in that case it is correct.

Please add a warning or log the state of the synchronise cache command
on the controller.
Any logging should be limited to once per device - say when the device is
opened. Note that synchronize_cache commands are extremely common, we don't want
to fill the log with this.
thanks!
