dmesg (before igfx_off)

(I've already posted this on vfio-users and linux-scsi mailing list, so I'm
just copying decription with some minor changes)

Hi,

I have some issues with Adaptec 3805 and found that it could be related to
iommu as described here [1]. I've tried various (iommu=pt etc.) but nothing
seems to change the behaviour of the controller. Also tried the patch [2] from
Alex Williamson on top of 4.6.5. Controller seems to work fine (random r/w) for
some hours under Windows 7 (that's on different machine, AMD Phenom) or (on the
same machine - that is: Intel i5-2400 with Intel DQ67SW motherboard) with
Clonezilla.

I did some further digging and added intel_iommu=igfx_off (found at some thread
with some other hardware mentioning Sandy Bridge) and it seems to work - just
transfered 300 gigabytes^W^Wover 1 TB of data to a testing array. On the other
hand it still fills logs with those over and over every 10 seconds:
AAC: Host adapter dead -1

I've also tried various Live Linux 64-bit distros:
1/2. Arch Bang (4.6.4-1-ARCH) and Ubuntu 16.04.1 (4.4.0-31-generic
#50-Ubuntu) - prints errors every 10 seconds (afair didnt test if it
works as I expected it doesnt)
3. Ubuntu 14.04 (4.4.0-15-generic #31-Ubuntu) - doesnt print errors,
works


--below info from before intel_iommu=igfx_off--
I could read the array (dd if=controller of=/dev/null), but not write. With dd
write, trying to make fs or partition or whatever it ended with messages
similar to this:
DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
DMAR: DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [03:01.0] fault addr ffbb5000
DMAR:[fault reason 02] Present bit in context entry is clear

(I'm a kernel bugzilla newbie and as newbie I'm not sure how much attention
gets kernel bugzilla and do this gets along with mailing lists and the other
way around. So I'm posting here my answers to David Carroll questions [1]
(snipped just a bit))

# -- 
> Hi Piotr,

> You had indicated that a kernel using Alex Williamson's patch allowed

Hi David,

I had to review my findings as I was a bit lost after trying so many
different settings and Live distros. With intel_iommu=igfx_off on
vanilla 4.7.0 kernel:
- it works (Gentoo Linux) with Alex patch
- it doesnt work (Gentoo Linux) without Alex patch


> You also indicated that Ubuntu 14.04 worked, while 16.04 did not. Is
> that true?

Ubuntu 14.04 (and speaking here about Ubuntu I mean running amd64 image
from usb stick - not sure, but I think it is 14.04.4 as it was latest
available week+ ago) it doesnt print "AAC: Host adapter dead -1" and it
works.

Ubuntu 16.04 (as above, it is 16.04.1) every 10 seconds prints about
"dead adapter", but works. When I've added intel_iommu=on on boot it
doesnt work (similar DMAR errors as posted in dmesg without Alex patch).

(both Ubuntus are amd64)


> Looking at the aacraid driver shipped with the Ubuntu flavors seems to

I just used Live images so, sadly, I just dont know.

Yeah, but I would love to get rid of those messages printed every ~10
seconds or at least know why they're there if adapter seems to work
fine? If Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 share the same driver why one of them
prints those messages and the other doesnt?

--- Comment #4 from Chris "SKip" Mac-Stoker <chrismac@niksun.com> ---

.. just created an account and wanted to post a confirmation of this bug, on a
chassis with this controller, the "AAC: Host Adapter Dead -1" did not appear at
all on an Ubuntu 14.04.1 installation (OS installed, not Live USB), but
suddenly showed up after a fresh installation of 16.04 (amd64) on the same
chassis and persists just like the OP says, every 10s. Otherwise the controller
works normally with a RAID5 4-disk array with no noticeable performance
degradation as tested with hdparm -T.

Copying here the relevant lspci -vv stub in case it helps:

Arrays were accessible. In my case it was adaptec 3405 raid card. No longer
have this system - replaced raid card with adaptec 8405 and with 8405 the
problem doesn't happen.

--- Comment #7 from Harold Snel <harold@snel.ws> ---
I have the exact same issue on my server running with an Adaptec 3405. The root
system is mounted on that controller on an SSD harddisk. Until I upgraded from
14.04 TLS to 16.04 TLS it was working fine.

After I upgraded to an new kernel first (from 4.2.0-41 to 4.2.0-42) the issue
with the 'dead adapter' started. To test if a full system upgrade to 16.04 TLS
would help I upgrade the system to that release. But on that version the
problem is still there and the system is not usable.

Now I'm running on 16.04 TLS but with the older kernel (4.2.0-41) and thats
working just fine. But I want to use the newest kernel because thats how it
should be :-)

Here is some controller info:

dmesg vanilla 4.3.6 (with Alex patch)

I tried previous vanilla kernels 4.x.latest-released and, as 4.6.x prints
messages over and over I skipped 4.5 series and tried:
- 4.4.19 - prints dead messages
- 4.3.6 - works without messages (with Alex patch [1], intel_iommu=igfx_off)

Not sure if this helps, but I hope it will. Any suggestions how to proceed from
here?

I have the exact same problem on Proxmox which is using Debian Jesse Linux
Kernel 4.2.4, using Adaptec Raid 31605, it repeats every 10 seconds, "AAC: Host
adapter dead -1" but everything is working......

Is there any way to get it to stop repeating these messages, because it may max
out the messages log eventually.  Does anyone know what is being done to patch
this?

I found the Kernel is 4.4.13-2-pve, which would be 4.4.13.

Works as a workaround, but this is not a solution.

This is a patch that I use to use my controller. Alex patch + "STFU for logs".

The problem was introduced with commit below. Reverting this commit from kernel
4.9.3 makes the problem go away.

commit 78cbccd3bd683c295a44af8050797dc4a41376ff
Author: Raghava Aditya Renukunta <RaghavaAditya.Renukunta@microsemi.com>

    aacraid: Fix for KDUMP driver hang

    When KDUMP is triggered the driver first talks to the firmware in INTX
    mode, but the adapter firmware is still in MSIX mode. Therefore the first
    driver command hangs since the driver is waiting for an INTX response and
    firmware gives a MSIX response. If when the OS is installed on a RAID
    drive created by the adapter KDUMP will hang since the driver does not
    receive a response in sync mode.

    Fixed by: Change the firmware to INTX mode if it is in MSIX mode before
    sending the first sync command.

As of June 21, 2017, I am still seeing this in Debian Stretch running kernel
4.10.0-rc6.  I have an IBM ServeRaid 8s, which is a rebranded Adaptec 4805.  I
see the message repeat about every second, so it really fills up syslog
quickly.

I stopped seeing this message after updating to debian stretch with the 4.9
kernel and my 3805 adaptec card.

I think this should be closed.

with my Adaptec 3405 and Kernel of Ubuntu 16.04.3 (Kernel 4.4.0-104-generic)
and also with self-compiled 4.13.0, the message does not appear anymore.
