Nice. Is there a chance that this patch will also fix the regression I've noticed (today, unfortunately) on (at least one) Dell server? FWIW, here's the relevant LSPCI output and kernel logs: 0d:0e.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID (rev 07) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0002 Flags: bus master, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 Memory at d80f0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64K] Memory at fc4c0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Expansion ROM at fc500000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] PCI-X non-bridge device Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 232.873327] megaraid cmm: 2.20.2.7 (Release Date: Sun Jul 16 00:01:03 EST 2006) Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 232.877616] SCSI subsystem initialized Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 232.888779] megaraid: 2.20.4.9 (Release Date: Sun Jul 16 12:27:22 EST 2006) Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 232.889835] megasas: 00.00.03.05 Mon Oct 02 11:21:32 PDT 2006 Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.513659] megasas: 0x1028:0x0015:0x1028:0x1f03: <6>megaraid: probe new device 0x1000:0x0408:0x1028:0x0002: bus 13:slot 14:func 0 Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.514770] megasas: FW now in Ready state Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.528893] megaraid: fw version:[522A] bios version:[H430] Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.554778] scsi2 : LSI Logic SAS based MegaRAID driver Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.555536] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access MAXTOR ATLAS10K5_073SAS BP00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.556173] scsi 2:0:1:0: Direct-Access MAXTOR ATLAS10K5_073SAS BP00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.569337] scsi3 : LSI Logic MegaRAID driver Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.569550] scsi[3]: scanning scsi channel 0 [Phy 0] for non-raid devices Jan 31 14:41:34 kernel: [ 233.604522] scsi 2:0:8:0: Enclosure DP BACKPLANE 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Jan 31 14:41:41 kernel: [ 243.115199] megaraid: aborting-16 cmd=12 <c=0 t=12 l=0> Jan 31 14:41:41 kernel: [ 243.115206] megaraid abort: 16:0[0:12], fw owner Jan 31 14:41:41 kernel: [ 243.115217] megaraid: 1 outstanding commands.
