Problem description:
====================
A node with Adaptec 6405 controller, latest BIOS V5.3-0[19204]
A lot of disks attached to the controller.
Simple test: running mkfs.ext4 on many disks on the same controller in
parallel
(mkfs is not important here, any serious io load triggers controller aborts)
Results:
* no problems (controller resets) with kernels prior to
395e5df79a95 ("scsi: aacraid: Remove reference to Series-9")
* latest ms kernel v5.2-rc6-15-g249155c20f9b - mkfs processes are in D state,
lot of complains in logs like:
[ 654.894633] aacraid: Host adapter abort request.

The issue is 100% reproducible.
i've bisected to the culprit patch, it's
395e5df79a95 ("scsi: aacraid: Remove reference to Series-9")
it changes arc ctrl checks for Series-6 controllers
and i've checked that resurrection of original logic in arc ctrl checks
eliminates controller hangs/resets.
