This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: megaraid_sas: Do not use 32-bit atomic request descriptor for Ventura controllers to the 4.14-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-megaraid_sas-do-not-use-32-bit-atomic-request-descriptor-for-ventura-controllers.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 9ff97fa8db94caeab59a3c5401e975df468b4d8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 00:10:52 -0800 Subject: scsi: megaraid_sas: Do not use 32-bit atomic request descriptor for Ventura controllers From: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9ff97fa8db94caeab59a3c5401e975df468b4d8e upstream. Problem Statement: Sending I/O through 32 bit descriptors to Ventura series of controller results in IO timeout on certain conditions. This error only occurs on systems with high I/O activity on Ventura series controllers. Changes in this patch will prevent driver from using 32 bit descriptor and use 64 bit Descriptors.
