ADAPTEC UBUNTU DRIVER

SCB paging takes advantage of the fact that devices usually disconnect from the SCSI bus for long periods of time without talking to the controller. A value of 0x8a enables it for units 1, 3, and 7. Since the local SCB space serves as a cache for disconnected transactions, the more SCB space available, the less host bus traffic consumed saving and restoring SCB data. Note that wide and twin channel features, although always supported by a particular chip, may be disabled in a particular motherboard or card design. So far I have found the only solution to this issue is to roll back to kernel version v4.

In the mean time their recommendation is to use their pre-compiled Ubuntu binary which is built to work with the linux-image Uguntu have been informed they are aware of this issue and their engineering team are looking into how to resolve it. This restriction applies to all EISA and many motherboard configurations. It should also be noted Microsemi also provide a adzptec binary for Ubuntu Block Move Instruction Support - Doubles the speed of certain sequencer operations.

So far I have found the only solution to this issue is to roll back to kernel version v4. I have been given an incident ID: I would guess this relates to the recent 'retpoline' patch to the Linux kernel to address the Spectre vulnerabilities.

SCB paging takes advantage of the fact that devices usually disconnect from the SCSI bus for long periods of time without talking to the controller. Although the Ultra2 and Ultra products have sufficient instruction ram space to support both the initiator and target roles concurrently, this configuration is disabled in favor of allowing the target daaptec to respond on multiple target ids. The value assigned to ubnutu option should be a bitmap of all units where target mode is desired.

The solution to this problem is SCB Paginga concept similar to memory paging. Using the SCBs in a straight forward manner would only allow the driver to handle as many concurrent transactions as there are physical SCBs. This allows the controller to queue up to transactions regardless of the amount of SCB space. Reselection in target mode fails to function correctly on all high voltage differential boards as adapgec by Adaptec. The following table provides a comparison of the different chips supported by the ahc driver.

Otherwise, the state of the most recently disconnected and therefore most likely to stay disconnected SCB is saved, via dma, to host memory, and the local SCB reused to start the new transaction. The SCBs for disconnected transactions are only of use to the controller when the transfer is resumed.

Performance and feature sets vary throughout the aic7xxx product line. The SCB contains all of the information required by the controller to process a transaction. When the host queues another transaction for the controller to execute, the controller firmware will use a free SCB if one is available. Sign up using Facebook. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a better remedy for this issue?

Controllers with this problem have a 42 MHz clock crystal on them and run slightly above 10MHz.
