Thanks!
John, the hpsa driver crashes, the  or more patches to allow internal commands from Hannas seem to be missing.

I'll let you know exactly which ones soon.


Hi Don,

Right, that branch did not include Hannes patches as they did not apply cleanly, but I think that you need the same patches as before. I can create a branch for you to test which does include those tomorrow - let me know.

Alternatively I think that we could create a hpsa patch which does not rely on that series, like I mentioned here [0], but it would not be as clean.

Cheers,
John

JFYI, I put the reserved command v6 patchset and $subject patchset on this branch:

https://github.com/hisilicon/kernel-dev/commits/private-topic-blk-mq-shared-tags-rfc-v8-resv-v6-baseline

I don't have HW to test hpsa or smartpqi.

Thanks,
John
