[PATCH] 2.5.63 cciss fix unlikely startup problem

From: Stephen Cameron (steve.cameron@hp.com)
Date: Thu Feb 27 2003 - 02:23:30 EST


Applies to 2.5.63

* Make cciss driver wait longer for board to enter simple mode to
  handle an unlikely corner case. (Hot replace of failed 144GB
  drive in RAID 5 set at just the wrong time prior to driver loading
  can make the board take a longer than usual time to go into "simple
  mode". Without the patch, the driver gives up too early, and consequently
  doesn't work. (A reboot will generally "fix" it.) This patch avoids
  the problem.
* Fix a couple ioctls to return EAGAIN instead of inappropriate EFAULT.
