QLA2200 driver

to a single QLA2200 controller.
The Qlogic fibre driver in 2.4.18 crashes very quickly in this setup,
with the message "qlogicfc0 : no handle slots, this should not happen".
This crash happens after writing less than 100GB of data to the JBODs.
I've seen that message before with an older drive and kernel (around
2.4.5?) version. At the time, I observed the same problem while syncing
a software raid5.
I found Feral's GPL'd driver (available at ftp://ftp.feral.com/pub/isp/)
to work correctly so far (~ 1 TB).
Is there a reason why Feral's driver is not in the kernel? Having a
driver that is so non-functional is really bad, IMO.
Who is using the in-kernel driver without problems? Could a connection
be made between the problem and, say, the number of drives, or the
achieved throughput?

Or maybe the driver you're referring to is such a mess that it would
never be included in the official kernel.
Arjan is trying to clean it up (similarly to what I did to the qla1280
driver) but it's still got some way to go. If you want to play with
it, your best bet is to pull Arjan's qla2200 driver out of the Red Hat
Rawhide .src.rpm.

Sorry, but thats really scary to hear, unless of course you have a
special version thats totally rewamped compared to the one that Red
Hat has been shipping.

> driver that is so non-functional is really bad, IMO.
Needs to:
a) support SBus cards
b) have more compilation options so that people only get teh
functionality that they want
c) have the f/w split off as a separate module
d) handler 64 bit pci which it doesn't as yet
Don't forget that QLogic itself puts out an FC driver.

I believe this is old issues previously discussed on this list and
documented by the GFS people.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=99203965930711&w=2
I believe the problem results for recalculations made in the drivers
queuecommand that adjust the can_queue and sg_tablesize. If I remember
correctly the work around was to increase QLOGICFC_REQ_QUEUE_LEN to a
larger value qlogicfc.h. Which will mask this problem.

I have included a patch below that fixes this problem. It works on
2.4.17. I haven't tested it on 2.4.17.

Hi,
I also seem to have problems with both the qla2200 and the qla2300 drivers.
I'm using a Mylex df4000 RAID that worked fine with previous kernels
(kernel 2.4.14, driver from QLogic). I configured the RAID with two LUNs
and I see both LUNs through /dev/scsi/....
however "disc" does not appear anywhere which suggests that
getgeomitry failed (or something like that).
I've tried this with both qla2202 HBA's and qla2302 HBA's.
Any Ideas??
Thanks,
Menny.
