smartpqi(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual smartpqi(4)
smartpqi - Microchip Smart Storage SCSI driver
modprobe smartpqi [disable_device_id_wildcards={0|1}]
[disable_heartbeat={0|1}]
[disable_ctrl_shutdown={0|1}]
[lockup_action={none|reboot|panic}]
[expose_ld_first={0|1}] [hide_vsep={0|1}]
[disable_managed_interrupts={0|1}]
[ctrl_ready_timeout={0|[30,1800]}]
smartpqi is a SCSI driver for Microchip Smart Storage controllers.
Supported ioctl() operations
For compatibility with applications written for the cciss(4) and
hpsa(4) drivers, many, but not all of the ioctl(2) operations
supported by the hpsa driver are also supported by the smartpqi
driver. The data structures used by these operations are
described in the Linux kernel source file
include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h.
CCISS_DEREGDISK
CCISS_REGNEWDISK
CCISS_REGNEWD
These operations all do exactly the same thing, which is to
cause the driver to re-scan for new devices. This does
exactly the same thing as writing to the smartpqi-specific
host rescan attribute.
CCISS_GETPCIINFO
This operation returns the PCI domain, bus, device, and
function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID).
CCISS_GETDRIVVER
This operation returns the driver version in four bytes,
encoded as:
(major_version << 28) | (minor_version << 24) |
(release << 16) | revision
CCISS_PASSTHRU
Allows BMIC and CISS commands to be passed through to the
controller.
Boot options
disable_device_id_wildcards={0|1}
Disables support for device ID wildcards. The default
value is 0 (wildcards are enabled).
disable_heartbeat={0|1}
Disables support for the controller's heartbeat check.
This parameter is used for debugging purposes. The default
value is 0 (the controller's heartbeat check is enabled).
disable_ctrl_shutdown={0|1}
Disables support for shutting down the controller in the
event of a controller lockup. The default value is 0
(controller will be shut down).
lockup_action={none|reboot|panic}
Specifies the action the driver takes when a controller
lockup is detected. The default action is none.
parameter action
─────────────────────────────────────────────
none take controller offline only
reboot reboot the system
panic panic the system
expose_ld_first={0|1}
This option exposes logical devices to the OS before
physical devices. The default value is 0 (physical devices
exposed first).
hide_vsep={0|1}
This option disables exposure of the virtual SEP to the OS.
The default value is 0 (virtual SEP is exposed).
disable_managed_interrupts={0|1}
Disables driver utilization of Linux kernel managed
interrupts for controllers. The managed interrupts feature
automatically distributes interrupts to all available CPUs
and assigns SMP affinity. The default value is 0 (managed
interrupts enabled).
ctrl_ready_timeout={0|[30,1800]}
This option specifies the timeout in seconds for the driver
to wait for the controller to be ready. The valid range is
0 or [30, 1800]. The default value is 0, which causes the
driver to use a timeout of 180 seconds.
Device nodes
Disk drives are accessed via the SCSI disk driver (sd), tape
drives via the SCSI tape driver (st), and the RAID controller via
the SCSI generic driver (sg), with device nodes named /dev/sd*,
/dev/st*, and /dev/sg*, respectively.
[1mSmartPQI-specific host attribute files in /sys
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan
The host rescan attribute is a write-only attribute.
Writing to this attribute will cause the driver to scan for
new, changed, or removed devices (e.g., hot-plugged tape
drives, or newly configured or deleted logical volumes) and
notify the SCSI mid-layer of any changes detected. Usually
this action is triggered automatically by configuration
changes, so the user should not normally have to write to
this file. Doing so may be useful when hot-plugging
devices such as tape drives or entire storage boxes
containing pre-configured logical volumes.
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/lockup_action
The host lockup_action attribute is a read/write attribute.
This attribute will cause the driver to perform a specific
action in the unlikely event that a controller lockup has
been detected. See OPTIONS above for an explanation of the
lockup_action values.
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/driver_version
The driver_version attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the smartpqi driver version.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/driver_version
1.1.2-126
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/firmware_version
The firmware_version attribute is read-only. This
attribute contains the controller firmware version.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/firmware_version
1.29-112
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/model
The model attribute is read-only. This attribute contains
the product identification string of the controller.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/model
1100-16i
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/serial_number
The serial_number attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the unique identification number of the
controller.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/serial_number
6A316373777
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/vendor
The vendor attribute is read-only. This attribute contains
the vendor identification string of the controller.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/vendor
Adaptec
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/enable_stream_detection
The enable_stream_detection attribute is read-write. This
attribute enables/disables stream detection in the driver.
Enabling stream detection can improve sequential write
performance for ioaccel-enabled volumes. See the
ssd_smart_path_enabled disk attribute section for details
on ioaccel-enabled volumes. The default value is 1 (stream
detection enabled).
Enable example:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/enable_stream_detection
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/enable_r5_writes
The enable_r5_writes attribute is read-write. This
attribute enables/disables RAID 5 write operations for
ioaccel-enabled volumes. Enabling can improve sequential
write performance. See the ssd_smart_path_enabled disk
attribute section for details on ioaccel-enabled volumes.
The default value is 1 (RAID 5 writes enabled).
Enable example:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/enable_r5_writes
/sys/class/scsi_host/host*/enable_r6_writes
The enable_r6_writes attribute is read-write. This
attribute enables/disables RAID 6 write operations for
ioaccel-enabled volumes. Enabling can improve sequential
write performance. See the ssd_smart_path_enabled disk
attribute section for details on ioaccel-enabled volumes.
The default value is 1 (RAID 6 writes enabled).
Enable example:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/enable_r6_writes
[1mSmartPQI-specific disk attribute files in /sys
In the file specifications below, c stands for the number of the
appropriate SCSI controller, b is the bus number, t the target
number, and l is the logical unit number (LUN).
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/raid_level
The raid_level attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the RAID level of the logical volume.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device/raid_level
RAID 0
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/sas_address
The sas_address attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the SAS address of the device.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/1:0:3:0/device/sas_address
0x5001173d028543a2
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/ssd_smart_path_enabled
The ssd_smart_path_enabled attribute is read-only. This
attribute is for ioaccel-enabled volumes. (Ioaccel is an
alternative driver submission path that allows the driver
to send I/O requests directly to backend SCSI devices,
bypassing the controller firmware. This results in an
increase in performance. This method is used for HBA disks
and for logical volumes comprised of SSDs.) Contains 1 if
ioaccel is enabled for the volume and 0 otherwise.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/1:0:3:0/device/ssd_smart_path_enabled
0
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/lunid
The lunid attribute is read-only. This attribute contains
the SCSI LUN ID for the device.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/13:1:0:3/device/lunid
0x0300004000000000
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/unique_id
The unique_id attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains a 16-byte ID that uniquely identifies the device
within the controller.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/13:1:0:3/device/unique_id
600508B1001C6D4723A8E98D704FDB94
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/path_info
The path_info attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the c:b:t:l of the device along with the device
type and whether the device is Active or Inactive. If the
device is an HBA device, path_info will also display the
PORT, BOX, and BAY the device is plugged into.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/13:1:0:3/device/path_info
[13:1:0:3] Direct-Access Active
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/12:0:9:0/device/path_info
[12:0:9:0] Direct-Access PORT: C1 BOX: 1 BAY: 14 Inactive
[12:0:9:0] Direct-Access PORT: C0 BOX: 1 BAY: 14 Active
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/raid_bypass_cnt
The raid_bypass_cnt attribute is read-only. This attribute
contains the number of I/O requests that have gone through
the ioaccel path for ioaccel-enabled volumes. See the
ssd_smart_path_enabled disk attribute section for details
on ioaccel-enabled volumes.
For example:
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/13:1:0:3/device/raid_bypass_cnt
0x300
/sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/sas_ncq_prio_enable
The sas_ncq_prio_enable attribute is read/write. This
attribute enables SATA NCQ priority support. This
attribute works only when device has NCQ support and
controller firmware can handle IO with NCQ priority
attribute.
For example:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/13:1:0:3/device/sas_ncq_prio_enable
The smartpqi driver was added in Linux 4.9.
