SubjectRE: [50/75] mpt2sas crashes on shutdown
Greg,
As a fix to this issue, I posted the patch "[PATCH] mpt2sas: Remove msix_table_backup which is required only for preproduction boards". The patch in this mail will not address the complete issue.

Please revert back this patch and add the patch "[PATCH] mpt2sas: Remove msix_table_backup which is required only for preproduction boards" to the stable kernels 3.0 and 3.1.

Regards,
Nagalakshmi

Subject: [50/75] mpt2sas crashes on shutdown

3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[Fixed differently in 3.2]

The mpt2sas driver accesses I/O space as virtual addresses when
saving and restoring the MSIX table, this only works by luck on x86.

One needs to use the appropriate {read,write}{b,w,l}() APIs.

This is fixed in v3.2.x because all of this code got rewritten for
NUMA I/O support.

But both 3.0.x and 3.1.x still have this bug, and my Niagara sparc
machines crash on shutdown every single time due to this bug making my
-stable work more difficult than it needs to be.
