Thanks to Martin Wilck from SUSE to get me understanding the picture.
The problem is that e0e0747de0ea ("scsi: mpt3sas:
Fix return value check of dma_get_required_mask()") was backported to
several series. In mainline though the mis-merge did undo that. So I
believe the right thing would be to revert first in the stable series
where it was applied (5.10.y, 5.15.y) the commit e0e0747de0ea ("scsi:
mpt3sas: Fix return value check of dma_get_required_mask()") and then
on top of this revert apply the patches:
9df650963bf6 ("scsi: mpt3sas: Don't change DMA mask while reallocating pools")
1a2dcbdde82e ("scsi: mpt3sas: re-do lost mpt3sas DMA mask fix")
06e472acf964 ("scsi: mpt3sas: Remove usage of dma_get_required_mask() API")
Attached mbox file implements this.
Does that looks now good for resolving the regression?
Regards,
Salvatore
