Hey Nicholas,


 > At your earliest convenience, please verify the patch using v4.8.y with
 > the above ABORT_TASK + shutdown scenario.
 >
 > Also, it would be helpful to understand why this ESX FC host is
 > generating ABORT_TASKs.
 >
 > Eg: Is ABORT_TASK generated due to FC target response packet loss..?
 > Or due to target backend I/O latency, that ultimately triggers FC host
 > side timeouts...?


Here is where it gets interesting and to your thought above.  Take for 
example this log snippet

We can see that /dev/sdf ramps up to 100% starting at around (10/23/2016 
10:18:18 PM) and stays that way till about the (10/23/2016 10:18:42 PM) 
mark when something occurs and it drops down to below 100% numbers.

So I checked the array which shows all clean, even across reboots:

[root@mbpc-pc ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid6 sdb[7] sdf[6] sdd[3] sda[5] sdc[1] sde[8]
       3907045632 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] 
[UUUUUU]
       bitmap: 1/8 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk

unused devices: <none>
[root@mbpc-pc ~]#


Then I run smartctl across all disks and sure enough /dev/sdf prints this:

[root@mbpc-pc ~]# smartctl -A /dev/sdf
smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-4.8.4] (local build)

Error SMART Values Read failed: scsi error badly formed scsi parameters
Smartctl: SMART Read Values failed.

[root@mbpc-pc ~]#

So it would appear we found the root cause, a bad disk.  True the disk 
is bad and I'll be replacing it however, even with a degraded disk 
(checking now) the array functions just fine and I have no data loss.  I 
only lost 1.  I would have to loose 3 to get a catastrophic failure on 
this RAID6:

[root@mbpc-pc ~]# cat /proc/mdstat

        6       8       80        -      faulty   /dev/sdf
[root@mbpc-pc ~]#

Last night I cut power to the /dev/sdf disk to spin it down the removed 
it and reinserted it.  The array resynced without issue however the 
smartctl -A command still failed on it. Today I check and bad blocks 
were recorded on the disk and the array has since removed /dev/sdf (per 
above).  Also I have to say that these ESXi hosts worked in this 
configuration, without any hickup, for about 4 months.  No LUN failure 
on the ESXi side.  I haven't changed the LUN in that time (had no reason 
to do so).

So now here's the real question that I have.  Why would the array 
continue to function, as intended, with only one disk failure yet the 
QLogic / Target drivers stop and error out?  The RAID6 (software) array 
should care about the failure, and it should handle it.  QLogic / Target 
Drivers shouldn't really be too impacted (aside from read speed maybe) 
about a disk failing inside the array.  That would be my thinking.  The 
Target / QLogic software seems to have picked up on a failure ahead of 
the software RAID 6 detecting it.  I've had this RAID6 for over 6 years 
now.  Aside from the occassional disk replacement, quite rock solid.

So anyway, I added the fix you pointed out to the 4.8.4 kernel and 
recompiled.  I restarted it, with the RAID6 degraded as it is.  All 
mounted fine and I checked the LUN's from the ESXi side:

And still after 30 minutes, there is no failure.  This run includes the 
fix you asked me to ass 
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/527268df31e57cf2b6d417198717c6d6afdb1e3e) 
  .  If everything works, I will revert the patch and see if I can 
reproduce the issue.  If I can reproduce it, then the disk might not 
have been it, but the patch was.  I'll keep you posted on that when I 
get a new disk tomorrow.


Right now this is a POC setup so I have lots of room to experiment.
