Thanks Hannes, After getting the platform shutdown command "VM_CloseAll" response from the firmware, driver was getting configuration IOCTL request from the upper layers and it sends down to firmware. This causes firmware assert issue. This patch fixes the firmware assert issue. During the shutdown, if driver gets commands from the upper layer, driver sends error code to the upper layers. -----Original Message----- From: Hannes Reinecke [mailto:hare@xxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 3:51 PM To: Mahesh Rajashekhara; JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Achim Leubner Subject: Re: [V2 PATCH 08/11] aacraid: IOCTL fix On 03/26/2015 03:41 PM, Mahesh Rajashekhara wrote: > Add cfg IOCTL command fix > > Signed-off-by: Mahesh Rajashekhara <Mahesh.Rajashekhara@xxxxxxxx> Same here; this patch could do with some more information.
