Test LSI 9405W-16i SAS/NVMe HBA #196

Closed geerlingguy closed 2 years ago

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

The LSI 9405W-16i HBA Should be similar to the 9460-16i, and should hopefully be supported on ARM (to some extent) unlike older cards like the 9305-16i (see #195). (Adding the term 9405 so this will also pop up in search.)

Supposedly it's working on 32-bit Pi OS but not 64-bit. More to come.

Kernel

Our custom kernel

Repo for custom kernel: https://github.com/45Drives/linux Steps for building:

clone repo
cd linux/cross_compile
./build_cm4.sh 32 (no to customize config)
copy files from ./boot to CM4 boot partition
copy files from ./rootfs to CM4 root partition
Customizing your own

Follow Jeff's instructions, and in the .config, set:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-v7l-STORINATOR_JR"
CONFIG_IRQ_POLL=y
CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SAS_ATTRS=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y already set by default
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y

CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS=y (Not sure if this route will work, as we replaced the mpt3sas driver in the kernel source with the latest from Broadcom's downloads for the 9405W. It will need further testing to see if the stock mpt3sas kernel driver will work.)

Using the card

We had a few 250 G SSDs around so we built a ZFS raid with it. Unfortunately, ZFS only works with 64-bit kernels, but ZFS Fuse works fine with 32-bit. lsblk:

errors: No known data errors

joshuaboud commented 2 years ago

As for 64-bit usage, the kernel was built the same way as above, but use ./build-cm4.sh 64. This kernel works fine with nothing plugged into the PCIe slot, but when the 9405W is plugged in, there is a kernel panic at boot. Here is a screenshot of said kernel panic: cm4_64-bit_kernel_panic The error seems to happen in pci_generic_config_read(), seemingly part of the PCI driver, not the mpt3sas driver.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@joshuaboud - I seem to remember this bit of code leading to that crash: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/2697f7403187bb2bb61cc716f33ee9f6cfb9af7c/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_fusion.c#L262-L265

Can you try the following patch and see if that helps on 64-bit?

joshuaboud commented 2 years ago

That specific patch won't do much as the megaraid driver isn't being compiled for my kernel, however - there is a very similar chunk of code in the mpt3sas driver: drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c starting at line 5809:

/**

    unsigned long flags;
    __u64 data_out = b;

    spin_lock_irqsave(writeq_lock, flags);
    writel((u32)(data_out), addr);
    writel((u32)(data_out >> 32), (addr + 4));
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(writeq_lock, flags);
}
#endif

I suppose if I apply the same change here, disabling writeq(), it may fix the issue. I will report back after trying.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

Ah yes, sorry was looking at what I was working on for the other card and forgot it was using a different module. Let me know if it helps!

but unfortunately it did not fix the kernel panic issue.

I have been trying to track down any possible bugs in the kernel source code, but the second last function call, pci_bus_read_config_byte() does not seem to have a definition anywhere in the source. The function that actually causes the error, pci_generic_config_read(), could be having an issue with dereferencing pointers though. I am going to try to get the full dmesg output from the failed boot.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@joshuaboud - That sounds eerily similar to some of the problems we've been encountering with AMD's GPU drivers in https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/4 — I wonder if the mpt3sas driver is missing some of the megaraid sas changes that were made for better ARM compatibility in general?

LSI 9405W-16i Now Working on Custom 64-bit Kernel

The Fix

This is very strange. Removing quiet from /boot/cmdline.txt fixed the kernel panic issue with the Storinator JR custom 64-bit kernel.

Reason

We have no idea. Maybe there is a timing issue in the PCI driver that is solved by the slow down from printing console messages.

Using the delicious breadcrumbs left by you wonderful folks in this GH issue, I'll be trying to get one of these working. Is there any interest in seeing my results shared somewhere? (AKA - where can I ask for help when I fail)

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@wallentx - According to the Broadcom engineer I spoke with, none of the 93xx series cards will work on the Pi because drivers don't support ARM for that generation. Only 94xx/95xx and newer cards should be able to work (so your SAS 9440-8i has a fighting chance!).

wallentx commented 2 years ago

@geerlingguy My SAS 9440-8i shows up in lspci just out of the box. No mpt3sas modules available to be loaded though. I built the kernel, but I'm a little lost with the way the cm4 bootloader works.. Are you guys just renaming your compiled kernel image to kernel8.img and overwriting? I saw somewhere on another writeup about setting kernel=<mykernel.img> in /boot/config.txt, but that just got me stuck at the rainbow screen.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@wallentx - Here's the exact process I follow: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/tree/master/extras/cross-compile

Note that there are a number of ways you can stick multiple kernels on the Pi and switch between them, but in my case, since I normally nuke the microSD card multiple times per day, I just overwrite the kernel in place (following the steps in the guide above).

wallentx commented 2 years ago

@geerlingguy if I'm sharing more about my 9440-8i, should I put this in a separate issue, or are individual issues intended to be sort of exclusive for your own testing/tracking? If a new issue is needed, I'll edit this comment and migrate the details elsewhere.

Moved - https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/250

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@wallentx - Can you open a new/separate issue for it (since it's a different model)?

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

I'll be doing a little more testing on one of these, now that I have it in my possession.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

That's a lotta PCIe:

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

All right, so testing a bringup on a fork of the rpi-5.15.y branch:

I cloned Linux, checked out a new branch.
I ran menuconfig and enabled mpt3sas (option "LSI MPT Fusion SAS 3.0 & SAS 2.0 Device Driver"—see below)
I patched the drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c file with @joshuaboud's patch from this comment above.
I am cross-compiling the kernel and copying it over to the Pi.

The mpt3sas option is under:

-> Device Drivers
  -> SCSI device support
    -> SCSI low-level drivers (SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=y])
      -> LSI MPT Fusion SAS 3.0 & SAS 2.0 Device Driver

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

After a reboot I'm seeing:

So the module's loaded at least. I'm going to have to stop for the evening and pick it back up later!

Hello, lonely little WD Green that I was willing to sacrifice if this entire thing went kaboom!

Next test is to get one hard drive off each card and see if that works too.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

I don't have enough HD Mini SAS (SFF-8643) to SATA adapter cables (I'm using these from CableCreation) to test all four cards... but two cards are working with two drives each:

I used my guide to create an mdadm RAID array in Linux to create a 4 disk RAID 0 array.

And the array seems to be working:

So we can still put through 400 MiB/s (416 MB/s) using multiple HBAs (two, in this case), which is a positive sign that the Pi won't be hampered too much by multiple cards on a PCIe switch. I hoped that would be the case, but was prepared for disappointment. Luckily I'm not disappointed, lol.

The random IO would be a lot faster if I used all faster drives. As it is, I have a 120 GB MakerDisk SSD, a 120 GB Kingston A400 SSD, and two WD GreenPower WD5000AVDS drives that are very very slow, dragging the array down.

But I wanted to see how a mixed environment would work.

I just ordered another 2 pack of the HD Mini SAS cables and hopefully I will see the same result spanning the disks one disk per card.

Glad to see this worked out for you. Have you tried recreating the kernel panic issue when quiet is turned on?

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@joshuaboud Current /boot/cmdline.txt:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=1b8530a1-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait

I just modified the file to:

console=serial0,115200 console=tty3 root=PARTUUID=1b8530a1-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes loglevel=3 quiet rootwait logo.nologo

After reboot, it does indeed lock up, with the following kernel panic:

joshuaboud commented 2 years ago

It's so strange, I have no idea what could cause that, though at least it isn't just me

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

@joshuaboud Yeah... I'm perplexed, didn't look too deep but it is good to see it's consistent and also still happening with 5.15.y and the latest firmware. Just reset the cmdline.txt back and rebooted again, and everything's working as normal.

Something weird with the behavior of PCIe initialization if you try silencing the console...

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

Finally got the extra cables in, and at this point I can confirm I can split one drive per controller, and they're all accessible, and perform similarly (afaict):

I downloaded StorCLI (from here: https://www.broadcom.com/support/download-search?pg=&pf=&pn=&pa=&po=&dk=storcli&pl= - MR 7.20) and ran the arm64 version:

pi@sas:~ $ ./storcli64 show
CLI Version = 007.2007.0000.0000 Feb 11, 2022
Operating system = Linux 5.15.35-v8+
Status Code = 0
Status = Success
Description = None

Number of Controllers = 0
Host Name = sas
Operating System  = Linux 5.15.35-v8+

Do I need to do anything else special to get storcli to work with these cards through the PCIe switches?

Oh... lol:

Besides the weird issue with quiet not working, I think we've explored this card enough to give it a thumbs up overall.

Still testing, in a sense.

$ ls /dev/sd*[a-z] | wc -l
60

heh... First test is RAID 0 using my mdadm guide:

# Partition all 60 disks (optional... I just obliterate the partitioning when I create the array).
$ for i in `ls /dev/sd*[a-z]`; do sudo sgdisk -n 1:0:0 $i; done

# Get list of all the drives to copy out to next command.
$ ls /dev/sd*[a-z]

# Create a RAID0 array.
$ sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=60 /dev/sda /dev/sdae /dev/sdaj /dev/sdao /dev/sdat /dev/sday /dev/sdbc /dev/sdbh /dev/sdg /dev/sdl /dev/sdq /dev/sdv /dev/sdaa /dev/sdaf /dev/sdak /dev/sdap /dev/sdau /dev/sdaz /dev/sdbd /dev/sdc  /dev/sdh /dev/sdm /dev/sdr /dev/sdw /dev/sdab /dev/sdag /dev/sdal /dev/sdaq /dev/sdav /dev/sdb  /dev/sdbe /dev/sdd  /dev/sdi /dev/sdn /dev/sds /dev/sdx /dev/sdac /dev/sdah /dev/sdam /dev/sdar /dev/sdaw /dev/sdba /dev/sdbf /dev/sde  /dev/sdj /dev/sdo /dev/sdt /dev/sdy /dev/sdad /dev/sdai /dev/sdan /dev/sdas /dev/sdax /dev/sdbb /dev/sdbg /dev/sdf  /dev/sdk /dev/sdp /dev/sdu /dev/sdz

EXT4 initialization started at 3:15 pm, took until 5:23 pm, so total time of 2 hours, 8 minutes (it was writing around 150 MiB/sec the entire time, and it can get a bit toasty!).

I also noticed a few more errors in dmesg during the formatting:

It looks like others have reported similar messages during heavy Disk I/O (e.g. on older systems running a btrfs scrub, like here. From this patch.

I also want to try overclocking to 2.2 GHz after running initial benchmarks since it looks like I have plenty of headroom (CPU temp is around 34-37°C with those high-CFM fans blowing directly over the CM4 heatsink).

So... it looks like the missing drive in that list is /dev/sday (I grabbed the list and pressed F5 in Sublime text to sort alphabetically, then did my ABC's through it until I found the missing letter).

Ah... dmesg showing a bunch of errors: https://gist.github.com/geerlingguy/1004b7925de52aff730ecd84769d2b0d

About 50% of the time (especially on a fresh boot) it seems to error out after 2 or 3 cards. Not sure why.

But when I try to mount the array, I still get:

$ sudo mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid0
mount: /mnt/raid0: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

And towards the end got the same errors as earlier, looks like a card just restarts a bunch of drives—and this time two just went AWOL.

Going to try a different fs since mdadm raid0 and ext4 seems to not be happy. Might also try a smaller array.

After a reboot, mdadm reports the array is clean again. So something with writing the superblock across the 60 drives fails.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

Trying to create the fs with lazy init... slower IO might help?

$ time sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 /dev/md0

Nope. Same error at same point. Going to maybe switch gears to ZFS too... we'll see.

So... I started a 70 GB copy of a ton of video files for my current project to the btrfs RAID 0 array, and it kicked off going from 100-119 MB/sec, but after a couple minutes, got a lot slower (30 MB/sec). Then it started stalling out, and after a while Finder threw an error.

Over on the server side, I found this in dmesg: https://gist.github.com/geerlingguy/90a25813dfcdc26c1d4ab503bd7550d4

And if I check the btrfs filesystem status I see:

    *** Some devices missing

So it looks like a similar error, where HBAs just kinda jump offline, and not all drives come back. Something weird like that.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

After reboot, the filesystem was intact.

I did a small file copy over samba (< 100 MB), and it copied almost instantly, and worked. Then I did a larger file (400 MB), and it failed in the same way, but this time I was watching dmesg, and these are the initial failures when it seems the HBAs or driver gets overloaded:

At that point, the cards seem to re-initialize. And what's really interesting is this time, the array recovered before the Finder file copy timed out, and so the copy finished successfully. And copying the 400 MB file back had no problem either. So it definitely seems to be a stability issue when writing bytes out to all 60 drives at once, continuously. CPU load maxes out at least one core whenever writes are saturating the bus.

I think my next plan is to do a JBOD-style array, so have the entire array set up sequentially (no RAID 0 striping), and see if writing in that manner is more efficient / less error-prone.

geerlingguy commented 2 years ago

Deleted the existing btrfs array with:

$ sudo systemctl stop smbd
$ sudo umount /btrfs
$ sudo wipefs --all -t btrfs /dev/sda /dev/sdae ...

And creating a new one with single for JBOD-style:

$ sudo mkfs.btrfs -L btrfs -d raid0 -m raid0 -f /dev/sda /dev/sdae /dev/sdaj /dev/sdao /dev/sdat /dev/sday /dev/sdbc /dev/sdbh /dev/sdg /dev/sdl /dev/sdq /dev/sdv /dev/sdaa /dev/sdaf /dev/sdak /dev/sdap /dev/sdau /dev/sdaz /dev/sdbd /dev/sdc  /dev/sdh /dev/sdm /dev/sdr /dev/sdw /dev/sdab /dev/sdag /dev/sdal /dev/sdaq /dev/sdav /dev/sdb  /dev/sdbe /dev/sdd  /dev/sdi /dev/sdn /dev/sds /dev/sdx /dev/sdac /dev/sdah /dev/sdam /dev/sdar /dev/sdaw /dev/sdba /dev/sdbf /dev/sde  /dev/sdj /dev/sdo /dev/sdt /dev/sdy /dev/sdad /dev/sdai /dev/sdan /dev/sdas /dev/sdax /dev/sdbb /dev/sdbg /dev/sdf  /dev/sdk /dev/sdp /dev/sdu /dev/sdz

And after some more messing around, I am able to reliably get one of the cards (sometimes two) to do that cycle with heavy write activity.

And usually one or two drives doesn't reappear until after a full reboot of the system (this time it was just sdr).

$ sudo wipefs --all -t btrfs /dev/sda /dev/sdae /dev/sdaj /dev/sdao /dev/sdat /dev/sday /dev/sdbc /dev/sdbh /dev/sdg /dev/sdl /dev/sdq /dev/sdv /dev/sdaa /dev/sdaf /dev/sdak /dev/sdap /dev/sdau /dev/sdaz /dev/sdbd /dev/sdc  /dev/sdh /dev/sdm /dev/sdr /dev/sdw /dev/sdab /dev/sdag /dev/sdal /dev/sdaq /dev/sdav /dev/sdb  /dev/sdbe /dev/sdd  /dev/sdi /dev/sdn /dev/sds /dev/sdx /dev/sdac /dev/sdah /dev/sdam /dev/sdar /dev/sdaw /dev/sdba /dev/sdbf /dev/sde  /dev/sdj /dev/sdo /dev/sdt /dev/sdy /dev/sdad /dev/sdai /dev/sdan /dev/sdas /dev/sdax /dev/sdbb /dev/sdbg /dev/sdf  /dev/sdk /dev/sdp /dev/sdu /dev/sdz
wipefs: error: /dev/sdr: probing initialization failed: No such file or directory

Going to try an mdadm linear array next...

$ sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=60 /dev/sda ...

It's nice to be able to more easily see the speed it's building the ext4 filesystem on the linear array—I can see each disk getting written to via atop sequentially, while 'Writing inode tables' is going on. And hopefully since it's just writing to one disk after the other, whatever condition is triggering the card reset won't happen.
