From 396883e292ebe1e14ded99fd8b26be500926f055 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Stephen M. Cameron" Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:34:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] hpsa: prevent stalled i/o If a fifo full condition is encountered, i/o requests will stack up in the h->reqQ queue. The only thing which empties this queue is start_io, which only gets called when new i/o requests come in. If none are forthcoming, i/o in h->reqQ will be stalled. To fix this, whenever fifo full condition is encountered, this is recorded, and the interrupt handler examines this to see if a fifo full condition was recently encountered when a command completes and will call start_io to prevent i/o's in h->reqQ from getting stuck. I've only ever seen this problem occur when running specialized test programs that pound on the the CCISS_PASSTHRU ioctl. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.
