[ Upstream commit 9ee5d6e9ac52a3c8625697535f8e35864d9fd38c ] Correct kdump hangs when controller is locked up. There are occasions when a controller reboot (controller soft reset) is issued when a controller firmware crash dump is in progress. This leads to incomplete controller firmware crash dump: - When the controller crash dump is in progress, and a kdump is initiated, the driver issues inbound doorbell reset to bring back the controller in SIS mode. - If the controller is in locked up state, the inbound doorbell reset does not work causing controller initialization failures. This results in the driver hanging waiting for SIS mode. To avoid an incomplete controller crash dump, add in a controller crash dump handshake: - Controller will indicate start and end of the controller crash dump by setting some register bits. - Driver will look these bits when a kdump is initiated. If a controller crash dump is in progress, the driver will wait for the controller crash dump to complete before issuing the controller soft reset then complete driver initialization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
