Public bug reported: [Impact] SATA disks may be unusable will not be usable when: - The disk is connected through a SAS expander - Controller uses a libsas-based driver (mvsas, aic94xx, hisi_sas) - link rate between expander & disk is greater than link between controller and expander
[Test Case] See conditions in "Impact" [Fix] cec9771d2e954 scsi: libsas: Support SATA PHY connection rate unmatch fixing during discovery [Regression Risk] Impact is restricted to drivers that use libsas: mvsas, aic94xx & hisi_sas. Code change is all within an "if" statement that meets these restrictions. A bug in this code could possibly reduce the speed of an otherwise working disk connection. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Disco) Assignee: (unassigned) => dann frazier (dannf) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821408 Title: scsi: libsas: Support SATA PHY connection rate unmatch fixing during discovery Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: New Status in linux source package in Bionic: New Status in linux source package in Cosmic: New Status in linux source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] SATA disks may be unusable will not be usable when: - The disk is connected through a SAS expander - Controller uses a libsas-based driver (mvsas, aic94xx, hisi_sas) - link rate between expander & disk is greater than link between controller and expander [Test Case] See conditions in "Impact" [Fix] cec9771d2e954 scsi: libsas: Support SATA PHY connection rate unmatch fixing during discovery [Regression Risk] Impact is restricted to drivers that use libsas: mvsas, aic94xx & hisi_sas.
