Hello, I have been running a series of kexec tests using LKDTT on the aacraid driver on this card (ASR-4805SAS (Marauder-E)) on x86_64 using the latest top of scsi-misc git-tree(as of yesterday), and I have found that it is not coming up consistantly when booted through kexec. I have included 4 different types of failures I found here because I assume they might be related, and thought maybe there could be an issue with the card's state on reboot (through kexec). The most common problem is this oops/panic, which has happened with various types of crash points (6 times out of 40): Loading aacraid.Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2437]-mh4)^M ko module^M ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:0e.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 3 (level, low) -> IRQ 3^M general protection fault: 0000 [1] ^M CPU 0 ^M Modules linked in: aacraid^M Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.21-rc3-kdump #1^M RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff88008a99>] [<ffffffff88008a99>] :aacraid:aac_intr_normal+0x17a/0x1b1^M RSP: 0000:ffffffff81523ed8 EFLAGS: 00010006^M RAX: ffff810004102000 RBX: ffff8100014f01e0 RCX: 0000000000000086^M RDX: ffff810004041540 RSI: ffff8100014f01e0 RDI: cccccccccccccccc^M RBP: ffff810004702cd8 R08: 00000000a6037e6c R09: 00000016001562d7^M R10: 0000000000000023 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000011^M R13: ffff810004702cd8 R14: ffff810004001400 R15: 0000000000000000^M FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff814d5000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000^M CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b^M CR2: 00000000006ba5a0 CR3: 000000000474d000 CR4: 00000000000006e0^M Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo ffffffff814e4000, task ffffffff81470360)^M Stack: 0000000000000011 ffff810004702cd8 0000000000000100 0000000000000003^M 0000000000000001 ffffffff88009470 0000000000000000 ffff810004041540^M ffffffff814d5080 ffffffff810428f4 0000000000000000 ffffffff814d5080^M Call Trace:^M <IRQ> [<ffffffff88009470>] :aacraid:aac_rx_intr_message+0x2c/0x60^M [<ffffffff810428f4>] note_interrupt+0xd3/0x1db^M [<ffffffff8104319b>] handle_level_irq+0x7e/0xab^M [<ffffffff8100b0b1>] do_IRQ+0xd7/0x132^M [<ffffffff810085a1>] mwait_idle+0x0/0x43^M [<ffffffff81009651>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa^M <EOI> [<ffffffff810085e0>] mwait_idle+0x3f/0x43^M [<ffffffff81008540>] cpu_idle+0x3d/0x5c^M [<ffffffff814e78d2>] start_kernel+0x28f/0x29b^M [<ffffffff814e7140>] _sinittext+0x140/0x144^M ^M ^M Code: ff 53 38 eb 20 9c 58 fa 83 7b 30 00 75 07 c7 43 30 01 00 00 ^M RIP [<ffffffff88008a99>] :aacraid:aac_intr_normal+0x17a/0x1b1^M Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!^M Another failure: for crash point 'TIMERADD-bug' I got this error loading insmod: Loading aacraid.Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2437]-mh4)^M ko module^M ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:0e.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 3 (level, low) -> IRQ 3^M input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /class/input/input3^M aacraid: aac_fib_send: adapter blinkLED 0xc2.^M Usually a result of a serious unrecoverable hardware problem^M aac_fib_free, XferState != 0, fibptr = 0xffff8100014f0000, XferState = 0x810ad^M aacraid: probe of 0000:03:0e.0 failed with error -14^M Yet another Failure: for crash point 'TIMERADD-panic' I got this error during insmod: Loading aacraid.Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2437]-mh4)^M ko module^M ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:0e.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 3 (level, low) -> IRQ 3^M input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /class/input/input3^M Ecr^H ^H^H ^H^H ^HBUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!^M ^M Call Trace:^M <IRQ> [<ffffffff8102bcbb>] update_process_times+0x3b/0x5f^M [<ffffffff8100bebf>] main_timer_handler+0x2f/0x1ae^M [<ffffffff8102b504>] run_timer_softirq+0x14/0x161^M [<ffffffff8100c050>] timer_interrupt+0x12/0x27^M [<ffffffff81041f9c>] handle_IRQ_event+0x25/0x53^M [<ffffffff81028c1b>] __do_softirq+0x46/0x90^M [<ffffffff81043186>] handle_level_irq+0x69/0xab^M [<ffffffff8100b0b1>] do_IRQ+0xd7/0x132^M [<ffffffff81009651>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa^M <EOI> [<ffffffff811229ed>] __delay+0x8/0x10^M [<ffffffff88007c68>] :aacraid:aac_fib_send+0x1ba/0x234^M [<ffffffff880048aa>] :aacraid:aac_get_adapter_info+0x76/0x536^M [<ffffffff88002bb3>] :aacraid:aac_probe_one+0x236/0x457^M [<ffffffff8112bd6d>] pci_device_probe+0x4c/0x75^M [<ffffffff8117d0da>] really_probe+0xc4/0x148^M [<ffffffff8117d30b>] __driver_attach+0x6d/0xab^M [<ffffffff8117d29e>] __driver_attach+0x0/0xab^M [<ffffffff8117d29e>] __driver_attach+0x0/0xab^M [<ffffffff8117c5b2>] bus_for_each_dev+0x43/0x6e^M [<ffffffff8117c8f4>] bus_add_driver+0x6b/0x18d^M [<ffffffff8112bf0b>] __pci_register_driver+0x72/0xa7^M [<ffffffff8801203a>] :aacraid:aac_init+0x3a/0x75^M [<ffffffff8103bafc>] sys_init_module+0x1195/0x12e6^M [<ffffffff8100913e>] system_call+0x7e/0x83^M ^M BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!^M One last error I got for INT_TASKLET_ENTRY-exception was this after the filesystem is mounted and I am copying the vmcore file to it: Copying the dump aacraid: Host adapter abort request (4,0,0,0) aacraid: Host adapter abort request (4,0,0,0) aacraid: Host adapter reset request.
