In older version of sas transport, it wouldn't work unless the ghost remote phys were reported. I'm glad to see this restriction go away. > @@ -1647,6 +1649,27 @@ static int mptsas_probe_one_phy(struct d > goto out; > > mptsas_parse_device_info(&identify, &phy_info->attached); >+ if (scsi_is_host_device(parent)) { >+ struct mptsas_portinfo *port_info; >+ int i; >+ >+ mutex_lock(&ioc->sas_topology_mutex); >+ port_info = mptsas_find_portinfo_by_handle(ioc, >+ >ioc->handle); >+ mutex_unlock(&ioc->sas_topology_mutex); >+ >+ for (i = 0; i < port_info->num_phys; i++) >+ if >(port_info->phy_info[i].identify.sas_address == >+ identify.sas_address) >+ goto out; >+ This is code segment is not required. This can be done much simplier. All hba phys that are connected to an expander will have device type equal to END_DEVICE and the target_port_protocols set to zero. Here is my suggested patch, to apply over previous patch making expander port_ids zero based.
