            Bug ID: 215788
           Summary: arcmsr driver on kernel 5.16 and up fails to
                    initialize ARC-1280ML RAID controller
           Product: SCSI Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.16, 5.17.1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: scsi_drivers-other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: jernej-bugzilla.kernel@ena.si
        Regression: No

Bootup screenshot showing problem

I have an Areca ARC-1280ML RAID controller in my home server, and it appears
that something changed in kernel 5.16 causing the driver to hang with:

arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id = 0 lun = 1
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id = 0 lun = 0
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id = 0 lun = 3
arcmsr: executing bus reset eh.....num_resets = 0, num_aborts = 3
arcmsr0: wait 'abort all outstanding command' timeout
arcmsr0: executing hw bus reset .....
arcmsr0: wait 'start adapter background rebuild' timeout
arcmsr: scsi bus reset eh returns with success
arcmsr0: abort device command of scsi id = 0 lun = 3
arcmsr: executing bus reset eh.....num_resets = 1, num_aborts = 4
arcmsr0: wait 'abort all outstanding command' timeout
arcmsr0: executing hw bus reset .....
arcmsr0: wait 'start adapter background rebuild' timeout
arcmsr: scsi bus reset eh returns with success

(this then repeats until system panics because it can't mount root)

When this happens, the card also stops responding on out-of-band network. With
kernel 5.15 there are no problems.

I normally run bcachefs kernels, but I also tested with regular 5.17.1 kernel,
where the same problem happens.

    scsi: sd: add concurrent positioning ranges support

    Add the sd_read_cpr() function to the sd scsi disk driver to discover
    if a device has multiple concurrent positioning ranges (i.e. multiple
    actuators on an HDD). The existence of VPD page B9h indicates if a
    device has multiple concurrent positioning ranges. The page content
    describes each range supported by the device.

    sd_read_cpr() is called from sd_revalidate_disk() and uses the block
    layer functions disk_alloc_independent_access_ranges() and
    disk_set_independent_access_ranges() to represent the set of actuators
    of the device as independent access ranges.

    The format of the Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page B9h is defined
    in section 6.6.6 of SBC-5.

Hmm... And everything is OK if you comment out that function call ?

Can you post the output of these commands for the RAID disk ?

sg_inq /dev/sdX
sg_inq --vpd /dev/sdX
sg_vpd -E /dev/sdX
sg_logs -l -l /dev/sdX

And then last:

sg_vpd --force --page=0xb9 /dev/sdX

This last command could be the one crashing the HBA/drive so beware.
Your drive clearly should not be supporting vpd page 0xb9, so
sd_read_cpr() should be a nop, doing nothing. It does not seem to be
the case. Maybe this adapter uses page 0xb9 as a vendor specific one,
causing problems. The above commands will allow checking that.

--- Comment #10 from Damien Le Moal (damien.lemoal@wdc.com) ---
Arg. I am baffled... No clue what is happening here. Since accessing the 0xb9
vpd page simply fails, sd_read_cpr() should be a nop and do nothing. I have no
idea why it creates a problem. Let me go back to the code and check again.

It does seem to be that the adapter is crashing though, so it may not like the
command sequence on initialization with that vpd page 0xb9 in the middle. Have
you tried to check if there is a FW update for that HBA that may solve the
issue ?

Re firmware: both controllers are EOL by manufacturer and are running the last

5.18/discovery seems to work fine (I can see the volume and partitions on it).

Martin,

Your series is the solution :)
I have not looked at it yet. I wonder what change you have that solves the
issue ? We should have that subset backported to stable if possible.

That is great news ! So now we need to figure out which change in there avoids
the problem (for backporting to stable). We will sort this out.

I am having similar issues with my ARC-1231 card in OpenSuSE with kernel 5.17. 
The card works fine in Windows but when I try to boot linux I get "ata8:
softreset failed (device not ready)" along with errors from the arcmsr driver.

If you can and know how to build a kernel, can you please try this code:

https://git.kernel.org/mkp/h/5.18/discovery

It seems to solve the issue.

Damien, thanks but I already decided Tumbleweed wasn't for me and I installed
the stable version Leap 15.3 with the 5.3 kernel and all is well.  So I won't
be able to test the 5.18 patch.

Also, I will mention that the "device not ready" errors were completely
unrelated to arcmsr.  They're still happening and cause slower boot time, but
that's a separate issue with my system I still haven't figured out.

I am also experiencing this, on an Areca 1882ix-24 with firmware V1.56
2021-01-12 and arcmsr driver version v1.50.0X.14-20230614 in Ubuntu 22.04 on
kernel 6.2.0. I take it the 5.18/discovery branch hasn't been merged anywhere
yet? What more testing needs to be done? How can I help?

I just upgraded my kernel from 5.15 to 6.1.53 and this "executing hw bus reset"
popped up after a few years of smooth sailing. I have Areva 1880ix-24 with
firmware V1.56 2019-07-30 and arcmsr driver version v1.50.00.05-20210429. I am
just reporting that mysteriously this error appeared after quite a while.

FWIW, I've been running bcachefs kernels, and I haven't experienced any further
problems with arcmsr on neither 6.1.0, nor 6.5.0.

I do not recall if the discovery branch was applied. Would need to check again.
Given that 6.2 kernel is not LTS and I am not sure what kind of patching Ubuntu
does, could you try with the latest stable (6.5.4) or latest mainline (6.6-rc2)
?

Martin,

Did you apply that 5.18/discovery branch mentioned above ? It does not look
like t is applied.
