Currently the driver maintains a sideband structure which has a pointer for
each queue element. However, at 8 bytes per pointer, and up to 4k elements
per queue, and 100s of queues, this can take up a lot of memory.
Convert the driver to using an access routine that calculates the element
address based on its index rather than using the pointer table.

If all the trunk links drop and a single link resumes, the link_state is
not properly reported. When trunked, the driver receives two async
cqes. One acqe reports the trunk link states, which the driver records.
The other cqe reports the overall state of the trunk. In the failing case,
the trunk link state acqe preceeds the overall trunk link state acqe. The
trunk link state acqe, as it's an "up" transition, calls a code path which
ensures a down transition before moving to the up state. The down
transition had a side effect of clearing the just-saved trunk link states.
Fix by not clearing the trunk link states if we've already transitioned
to a down state.

The adapter initialization sequence enables interrupts, initializes the
adapter link_state to LINK_DOWN, then issues commands to initialize the
adapter. The interrupt handler on the adapter validates the link_state (has
to be at least LINK_DOWN) and if invalid, will discard the interrupting
event.
In most cases, there is not a command completion, thus an interrupt until
the initialization commands have been sent which is post the setting of
state to LINK_DOWN. However, in cases of firmware reset, the reset will
modify the link_state to an invalid value (indicating a reset of the
adapter) and there occasionally are cases where the adapter will generate
an asynchronous event which shares the eq/cq used for mailbox commands. In
the failure case, an interrupt is generated immediately after enabling them
due to the async event. As link_state is invalid, the eq is list and the
CQ not serviced. At this point link_state is initialized and the mailbox
command sent. As the CQ has not been serviced, it is not armed, so no
interrupt event is generated when the mailbox command completes.
Modify the initialization sequence so that interrupts are enabled after
link_state is properly initialized, which avoids the race condition with
the async event.

The driver periodically checks for adapter error in a background thread. If
the thread detects an error, the adapter will be reset including the
deletion and reallocation of workqueues on the adapter. Simultaneously,
there may be a user-space request to offline the adapter which may try to
do many of the same steps, in parallel, on a different thread. As memory
was deallocated while unexpected, the parallel offline request hit a bad
pointer.
Add coordination between the two threads. The error recovery thread has
precedence. So, when an error is detected, a flag is set on the adapter to
indicate the error thread is terminating the adapter. But, before doing
that work, it will look for a flag that is set by the offline flow, and if
set, will wait for it to complete before then processing the error handling
path. Similarly, in the offline thread, it first checks for whether the
error thread is resetting the adapter, and if so, will then wait for the
error thread to finish. Only after it has finished, will it set its flag
and offline the adapter.

Changed the driver so that enablement of mrq is based on whether nvme

port smphr reg 0xc000, error 1=0x52004a01, error 2=0x0
The driver is waiting for full io completion before returning receive
buffers to the adapter. There is no need for such a relationship.
Whenever a new command is received from the wire, the driver will have two
contexts - an io context (ctxp) and a receive buffer context. In current
code, the receive buffer context stays 1:1 with the io and won't be
reposted to the hardware until the io completes. There is no need for such
a relationship.
Change the driver so that up on successful handing of the command to the
transport, where the transport has copied what it needed thus the buffer is
returned to the driver, have the driver immediately repost the buffer to
the hardware. If the command cannot be successfully handed to the transport
as transport resources are temporarily busy, have the driver allocate a new
and separate receive buffer and post it to the hardware so that hardware
can continue while the command is queued for the transport.
When an io is complete, the transport returns the io context to the driver,
and the driver may be waiting for more contexts, thus immediately reuse the
io context. In this path, there was a buffer posted when the receive buffer
was queued waiting for an io context so a replacement is not needed in the
new code additions. Thus, exempt this the context reuse case from the
buffer reposting.

In summary, the new patch added taking the io_buf_list_put_lock while under
an irq-disabled hbalock. This created a lock heirarchy dependent upon irq
being disabled, and there are paths that take the io_buf_list_put_lock
without disabling irq.
Looking at the lpfc_io_free routine, which is where the new heirarchy was
introduced, there is no reason to be taking out the hbalock and raising
irq, as the functionality is replaced by the io_buf_list_xxx locks.
Resolve by removing the hbalock/irq calls in lpfc_io_free.

Issue Description:
We have seen cpu lock up issue from fields if system has greater (more than
96) logical cpu count. SAS3.0 controller (Invader series) supports at max
96 msix vector and SAS3.5 product (Ventura) supports at max 128 msix
vectors.
This may be a generic issue (if PCI device supports completion on multiple
reply queues). Let me explain it w.r.t to mpt3sas supported h/w just to
simplify the problem and possible changes to handle such issues. IT HBA
(mpt3sas) supports multiple reply queues in completion path. Driver creates
MSI-x vectors for controller as "min of (FW supported Reply queue, Logical
CPUs)". If submitter is not interrupted via completion on same CPU, there
is a loop in the IO path. This behavior can cause hard/soft CPU lockups, IO
timeout, system sluggish etc.
Example - one CPU (e.g. CPU A) is busy submitting the IOs and another CPU
(e.g. CPU B) is busy with processing the corresponding IO's reply
descriptors from reply descriptor queue upon receiving the interrupts from
HBA. If the CPU A is continuously pumping the IOs then always CPU B (which
is executing the ISR) will see the valid reply descriptors in the reply
descriptor queue and it will be continuously processing those reply
descriptor in a loop without quitting the ISR handler.
Mpt3sas driver will exit ISR handler if it finds unused reply descriptor in
the reply descriptor queue. Since CPU A will be continuously sending the
IOs, CPU B may always see a valid reply descriptor (posted by HBA Firmware
after processing the IO) in the reply descriptor queue. In worst case,
driver will not quit from this loop in the ISR handler. Eventually, CPU
lockup will be detected by watchdog.
Above mentioned behavior is not common if "rq_affinity" set to 2 or
affinity_hint is honored by irqbalance as "exact". If rq_affinity is set
to 2, submitter will be always interrupted via completion on same CPU. If
irqbalance is using "exact" policy, interrupt will be delivered to
submitter CPU.
If CPU counts to MSI-X vectors (reply descriptor Queues) count ratio is not
1:1, we still have exposure of issue explained above and for that we don't
have any solution.
Exposure of soft/hard lockup if CPU count is more than MSI-x supported by
device.
If CPUs count to MSI-x vectors count ratio is not 1:1, (Other way, if CPU
counts to MSI-x vector count ratio is something like X:1, where X > 1) then
'exact' irqbalance policy OR rq_affinity = 2 won't help to avoid CPU
hard/soft lockups. There won't be any one to one mapping between CPU to
MSI-x vector instead one MSI-x interrupt (or reply descriptor queue) is
shared with group/set of CPUs and there is a possibility of having a loop
in the IO path within that CPU group and may observe lockups.
For example: Consider a system having two NUMA nodes and each node having
four logical CPUs and also consider that number of MSI-x vectors enabled on
the HBA is two, then CPUs count to MSI-x vector count ratio as 4:1. e.g.
MSIx vector 0 is affinity to CPU 0, CPU 1, CPU 2 & CPU 3 of NUMA node 0 and
MSI-x vector 1 is affinity to CPU 4, CPU 5, CPU 6 & CPU 7 of NUMA node 1.
numactl --hardware
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 --> MSI-x 0
node 0 size: 65536 MB
node 0 free: 63176 MB
node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7 -->MSI-x 1
node 1 size: 65536 MB
node 1 free: 63176 MB
Assume that user started an application which uses all the CPUs of NUMA
node 0 for issuing the IOs. Only one CPU from affinity list (it can be any
cpu since this behavior depends upon irqbalance) CPU0 will receive the
interrupts from MSIx vector 0 for all the IOs. Eventually, CPU 0 IO
submission percentage will be decreasing and ISR processing percentage will
be increasing as it is more busy with processing the interrupts. Gradually
IO submission percentage on CPU 0 will be zero and it's ISR processing
percentage will be 100 percentage as IO loop has already formed within the
NUMA node 0, i.e. CPU 1, CPU 2 & CPU 3 will be continuously busy with
submitting the heavy IOs and only CPU 0 is busy in the ISR path as it
always find the valid reply descriptor in the reply descriptor
queue. Eventually, we will observe the hard lockup here.
Chances of occurring of hard/soft lockups are directly proportional to
value of X. If value of X is high, then chances of observing CPU lockups is
high.
Solution: Use IRQ poll interface defined in " irq_poll.c". mpt3sas driver
will execute ISR routine in Softirq context and it will always quit the
loop based on budget provided in IRQ poll interface.
In these scenarios (i.e. where CPUs count to MSI-X vectors count ratio is
X:1 (where X > 1)), IRQ poll interface will avoid CPU hard lockups due to
voluntary exit from the reply queue processing based on budget. Note -
Only one MSI-x vector is busy doing processing.
