2 Current Version : 00.00.03.16
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.15

1. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from 10. FW may take
	a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT cmd.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.15
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.14

1. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
	(reduced interrupt operation).  In this mode, IO completion
	interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
	driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
	to be completed.  A timer-based interrupt has also been added
	to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
	indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.14
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.13

1. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
	FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
	(max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
	this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
	by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
	with megaraid_sas.  Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
	duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
	issue.  2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
	10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
	cmd.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.12
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.11

1.  When MegaSAS driver receives reset call from OS, driver waits in reset
routine for max 3 minutes for all pending command completion. Now driver will
call completion routine every 5 seconds from the reset routine instead of
waiting for depending on cmd completion from isr path.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.11
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.09

	1. Memory Manager for IOCTL removed for 2.6 kernels.
	   pci_alloc_consistent replaced by dma_alloc_coherent. With this
	   change there is no need of memory manager in the driver code

	It does, but the DMA API was expanded to cope with this exact case, so
	use dma_alloc_coherent() directly in the megaraid code instead.  The dev
	is just &pci_dev->dev.

	James <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

	3. SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE is not supported by FW and thus blocked by driver.
	4. Hibernation support added
	5. Performing diskdump while running IO in RHEL 4 was failing. Fixed.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.09
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.08

i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors

	The driver now waits for 10 seconds to elapse instead of 5 (as in
	previous release) to resume IO.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.08
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.07

i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors

	Fix:	The driver is now throttling IO.
	Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
	process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
	is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
	resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
	from the time cmds were last sent to FW.

ii.	FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
	as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
	Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
	mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
	Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
	the cmd and return sucess without sending down to FW.

	information.

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.06
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.05

1. Added new memory management module to support the IOCTL memory allocation. For IOCTL we try to allocate from the memory pool created during driver initialization. If mem pool is empty then we allocate at run time.
2. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead
   (hw_crit_error=1). If hw_crit_error==1, now we donot accept any processing of pending cmds/accept any cmd from OS

2 Current Version : 00.00.03.05
3 Older Version   : 00.00.03.04

		- Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de>
ii.	All compiler warnings removed
iii.	megasas_ctrl_info struct reverted to 3.02 release
iv.	Default value of megasas_dbg_lvl set to 0
v.	Removing in megasas_exit the sysfs entry created for megasas_dbg_lvl
vi.	In megasas_teardown_frame_pool(), cmd->frame was passed instead of
	cmd->sense to pci_pool_free. Fixed. Bug was pointed out by
	Eric Sesterhenn

	as Max Cmds FW can support

i.	Send stop adapter to FW & Dump pending FW cmds before declaring adapter dead.
	New varible added to set dbg level.
ii.	Disable interrupt made as fn pointer as they are different for 1068 / 1078
iii.	Frame count optimization. Main frame can contain 2 SGE for 64 bit SGLs and
	3 SGE for 32 bit SGL
iv.	Tasklet added for cmd completion
v.	If FW in operational state before firing INIT, now we send RESET Flag to FW instead of just READY. This is used to do soft reset.
vi.	megasas_ctrl_prop structure updated (based on FW struct)
vii.	Added print : FW now in Ready State during initialization

3 Older Version   : 00.00.02.04

i.	Added support for ZCR controller.

		New device id 0x413 added.

ii.	Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.

		Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
		This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
		it is generated by the controller.

	During initialization, depending on the device id, the template members 
	are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or

	"Ths patch properly registers the 16 byte command length capability of the

2 Current Version : 00.00.02.02
3 Older Version   : 00.00.02.01 

i.	New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used). 
	The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.

3 Older Version   : 00.00.02.01 

i.	Code reorganized to remove code duplication in megasas_build_cmd. 

	"There's a lot of duplicate code megasas_build_cmd.  Move that out of the different codepathes and merge the reminder of megasas_build_cmd into megasas_queue_command"

		- Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

ii.	Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.

	"MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE can't be redefined if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, we need to define a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 define so native binaries continue to work"

	209
	210	i. Added support for ZCR controller.
	211
	212	New device id 0x413 added.
	213
	214	ii. Bug fix : Disable controller interrupt before firing INIT cmd to FW.
	215
	216	Interrupt is enabled after required initialization is over.
	217	This is done to ensure that driver is ready to handle interrupts when
	218	it is generated by the controller.

	238	i. Support for 1078 type (ppc IOP) controller, device id : 0x60 added.
	239	During initialization, depending on the device id, the template members
	240	are initialized with function pointers specific to the ppc or
	241	xscale controllers.

	251	"Ths patch properly registers the 16 byte command length capability of the
	252	megaraid_sas controlled hardware with the scsi midlayer. All megaraid_sas
	253	hardware supports 16 byte CDB's."

	261	i. New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
	262	The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.

	276	ii. Defined MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 for code paths that handles 32 bit applications in 64 bit systems.
	277
	278	"MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE can't be redefined if CONFIG_COMPAT is set, we need to define a MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE32 define so native binaries continue to work"
