I'm afraid proc is really deprecated now. We have /sys for showing
necessary information. For an example of how to use /sys, aacraid does
it the right way (drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c). They use this for
exposing a lot of detail about the actual device and its firmware. The
format of sysfs is one entry per file, rather than descriptive text.
However, for both the parameters you're trying to export, you can get
them an alternative way. The driver version is available from modinfo,
which is usually what your support is looking for:
jejb@hobholes> modinfo -F version mvsas
0.5
And the sas_address is available from the phys. Because it's possible
for a HBA to have a different address per phy, it has to be stored this
way:
jejb@hobholes> ls /sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/*/sas_phy\:*/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:0/sas_phy:phy-0:0/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:1/sas_phy:phy-0:1/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:2/sas_phy:phy-0:2/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:3/sas_phy:phy-0:3/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:4/sas_phy:phy-0:4/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:5/sas_phy:phy-0:5/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:6/sas_phy:phy-0:6/sas_address
/sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/phy-0:7/sas_phy:phy-0:7/sas_address
(showing that the sas_address is stored under the sas_phy class in
sysfs). The values for this one (aic94xx) are all the same:
jejb@hobholes> cat /sys/class/sas_host/host0/device/*/sas_phy\:*/sas_address
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0
0x50000d100001cae0

I'm assuming the swab32p is because the mvi->sas_addr array is in wire
(big endian) format, and you need to write it out to the config
registers as two u32 upper and lower words via mvs_write_port_cfg. As
long as that register set is always in pci order (little endian), I
think this will work, but has it been tested on a big endian system,
like PPC?
