Hi, We are running kernel 4.4.0-22 and the patch below does not seem to be present in the mpt3sas driver. Can you please confirm? As a reminder the patch was related to a Security Erase ATA command that requires a very long timeout like 100 minutes or more and the drive retains a busy status. And the driver should not try to send other commands or reset the drive. Thanks, Igor Rybak CTO MediaClone Inc 6900 Canby Ave Ste 107 Reseda, CA 91335 USA +1-818-654-6286 ________________________________________ From: Sreekanth Reddy [sreekanth.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2016 8:38 PM To: Andrey Grodzovsky Cc: PDL-MPT-FUSIONLINUX; Igor Rybak; Ezra Kohavi; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Sathya Prakash; Chaitra P B; Suganath Prabu Subramani; Hannes Reinecke; stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PATCH] [SCSI] mpt3sas: Fix secure erase premature termination (v4) On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 8:05 PM, Andrey Grodzovsky <andrey2805@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Problem: > This is a work around for a bug with LSI Fusion MPT SAS2 when > pefroming secure erase.
