This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: mpt3sas: Fix IO error occurs on pulling out a drive from RAID1 volume created on two SATA drive to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-mpt3sas-fix-io-error-occurs-on-pulling-out-a-drive-from-raid1-volume-created-on-two-sata-drive.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Dec 21 10:35:49 CET 2017 From: Sreekanth Reddy <sreekanth.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 18:41:18 +0530 Subject: scsi: mpt3sas: Fix IO error occurs on pulling out a drive from RAID1 volume created on two SATA drive From: Sreekanth Reddy <sreekanth.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2ce9a3645299ba1752873d333d73f67620f4550b ] Whenever an I/O for a RAID volume fails with IOCStatus MPI2_IOCSTATUS_SCSI_IOC_TERMINATED and SCSIStatus equal to (MPI2_SCSI_STATE_TERMINATED | MPI2_SCSI_STATE_NO_SCSI_STATUS) then return the I/O to SCSI midlayer with "DID_RESET" (i.e. retry the IO infinite times) set in the host byte. Previously, the driver was completing the I/O with "DID_SOFT_ERROR" which causes the I/O to be quickly retried. However, firmware needed more time and hence I/Os were failing.
