Bug description

Subject: mpt3sas.max_queue_depth=10000 being ignored by mpt3sas module Date: Jun 21 2024, at 5:38 pm To: DL-MPTFusionLinux@lsi.com, MPT-FusionLinux.pdl@avagotech.com Hi, I got the pleasure of stumbling on the Queue size issue everyone seems to be having with the card LSI 9210-8i https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1967144#p1967144

There are tons of internet forum posting that to have the card able to list the devices I have to change the max_queue_depth , but the module seems to be blatantly ignoring such change. I added it in modprobe.d (uneffected, yes I did update initramf) and at the GRUB kernel boot param level.

I even got to run this fancy script... leading to the following output

$ cat /proc/modules | cut -f 1 -d " " | while read module; do echo "Module: $module"; if [ -d "/sys/module/$module/parameters" ]; then ls /sys/module/$module/parameters/ | while read parameter; do echo -n "Parameter: $parameter --> "; cat /sys/module/$module/parameters/$parameter; done; fi; echo; done

Module: mpt3sas Parameter: diag_buffer_enable --> -1 Parameter: disable_discovery --> -1 Parameter: enable_sdev_max_qd --> N Parameter: hbas_to_enumerate --> 0 Parameter: host_tagset_enable --> 1 Parameter: irqpoll_weight --> -1 Parameter: logging_level --> 0 Parameter: max_lun --> 16895 Parameter: max_msix_vectors --> -1 Parameter: max_queue_depth --> 10000 Parameter: max_sectors --> 65535 Parameter: max_sgl_entries --> -1 Parameter: missing_delay --> -1,-1 Parameter: mpt3sas_fwfault_debug --> 0 Parameter: msix_disable --> -1 Parameter: perf_mode --> -1 Parameter: poll_queues --> 0 Parameter: prot_mask --> -1 Parameter: smp_affinity_enable --> 1

The value is set, but the value is still low...

$ dmesg |grep Queue [ 1.388586] mpt2sas_cm0: Current Controller Queue Depth(3364),Max Controller Queue Depth(3432)

I'm currently running on a Linux MINT LXDE with kernel 6.1.0-21-amd64

Any idea how to proceed? Shall I attempt a different param or it won't effect the behaviour?

regards,

Steps to reproduce

just see email above

Expected behavior

expected lsscsi to list the tape drive

Additional information

I tried to file the bug upstream to the 2 email mentioned at kernel level, but they bounced

Not our problem.

@leigh123linux I appreciate your little support, but the Linux Kernel mailing list seems to be aiming directly to the distros to file for bugs, so... at least you have a better recommendation how to file such? Debian perhaps?

btw, before closing, check what they state on their tracking system https://bugzilla.kernel.org/

Fair enough, but linuxmint doesn't do any kernel development, they use the ubuntu or debian kernel. Report the issue to ubuntu, debian
