[PATCH 0/2] mpt3sas: Reference counting fixes from in-flight mpt2sas

Show all headers | View raw

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Hi James & Co,

This series is a mpt3sas forward port of Calvin Owens' in-flight
reference counting bugfixes for mpt2sas LLD code here:

[PATCH v4 0/2] Fixes for memory corruption in mpt2sas
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143951695904115&w=2

The differences between mpt2sas + mpt3sas in this area are very,
very small, and is required to address a NULL pointer dereference
OOPsen in _scsih_probe_sas() -> mpt3sas_transport_port_add() ->
sas_port_add_phy() that I've been hitting occasionally on boot
during initial LUN scan.

So far this code has been tested on v3.14.47 with a small cluster
using SAS3008 HBAs plus a few preceeding upstream mpt3sas patches
so these patches apply cleanly, and with the changes in place the
original OOPsen appears to be resolved.

This patch series is cut atop v4.2-rc1 code, and barring any
objections from Avago folks et al., should be considered along
with Calvin's mpt2sas patch set for v4.3-rc1 code.

Thank you,

--nab
