Hi! I am trying to get my Adaptec 71605H HBA to work with kernel 3.10. Unfortunately it hangs while waiting for a completion.
After registering all the interrupts the pm8001_pci_probe() function calls pm8001_init_sas_add(). That function calls PM8001_CHIP_DISP->get_nvmd_req() and waits for a completion that never happens. I tried to use the drivers available from the Adaptec website, and after hacking them so they compiled again with 3.10 I just copied those sources over to the kernel, recompiled and tested those. And lo and behold, that actually worked! So the Adaptec drivers do something that the current kernel drivers don't. The patch I applied to the 3.10 kernel to effectively update the current drivers with those from Adaptec is here: http://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/0002-pm80xx-copy-over-adaptec-drivers.patch The original drivers from Adaptec are here: http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/rh/rhel_6/productid=asa-71605h&dn=adaptec+71605h.html I tried to find relevant differences that might explain why the adaptec version works while the current 3.10 doesn't, but nothing jumped out to me. It's no problem to test any patches you have, or to do some debugging if someone can point me in the right direction.
