Posting below set of patches to support PCIe Hot Plug surprise removal, and few defect fixes. This is NOT the normal PCIe Hot Plug support, whereby the user informs the OS that a hot removal is desired, the OS does an orderly shutdown of the driver on the device, special hot plug circuitry removes power from the PCIe slot, then the user can remove the device and replace it (where orderly bring-up of the device is done). With a true surprise removal (just removing HBA from a slot) there is a possibility to get all kinds of PCIe transaction errors, Below patches addresses those issues and remove HBA without bringing the system down. For surprise removal detection, driver does a PCI read of IOC's vendor field in IOC's PCI configuration space. If the read value is 0xFFFFFFFF this indicates that the device might have hot removed and the device will be removed from driver. V1 changes: In Patch 0001 - unlock mutex, if active reset is in progress. V2 changes: Replaced mpt3sas_base_pci_device_is_unplugged with pci_device_is_present. V3 Change Set: Simplified function "mpt3sas_base_pci_device_is_available" and made inline Suganath Prabu S (6): mpt3sas: Introduce mpt3sas_base_pci_device_is_available mpt3sas: Separate out mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc_to_operational mpt3sas: Introdude _scsih_get_shost_and_ioc. mpt3sas: Fix Sync cache command failure during driver unload. mpt3sas: Fix driver modifying NVRAM/persistent data. mpt3sas: Bump driver version to 27.100.00.00. drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c | 135 +++++++++++++++------- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.h | 11 +- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_config.c | 32 +----- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c | 26 +---- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c | 189 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_transport.c | 82 +++----------- 6 files changed, 298 insertions(+), 177 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1
