[PATCH 2/6] scsi: hpsa: Support HBA mode on HP Smart Array P410i controllers

From: Ivan Mironov
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 08:22:59 EST


This patch is based on code from the 316b221, most of which was removed by
the b9092b7.

Originally, HBA mode on these controllers was supported only on
Itanium-based HP Integrity servers running HP-UX. Tool for switching
between RAID and HBA modes existed only in form of EFI binary for
ia64 architecture: saupdate.efi[1]. However, I guessed how to overwrite the
corresponding flags field in controller's NVRAM, and was able to
reimplement RAID/HBA mode switching tool for Linux[2].

This change was successfully tested using blktests[3] and xfstests[4] on
my hardware, with embedded P410i controller (PCI ID: 103c:3245, board
ID: 0x3245103c) with firmware version 6.64.

This may work with some other controllers, but it is not tested
(because I do not have the hardware) and it may be very dangerous. That is
why this functionality is disabled by default and may be enabled only
manually using the new module parameter.
