[Bug 499312] Re: HP Smart Array controller in HP Proliant G6 servers prints "cciss: fifo full"

 

Travis Cole, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest server release of
Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/
.

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  HP Smart Array controller in HP Proliant G6 servers prints "cciss:
  fifo full"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On recent HP Proliant servers such as the DL160 with at least the HP
  Smart Array P410i the kernel logs this message when ever there is
  significant disk IO:

  cciss: fifo full

  HP has an advisory on this issue which seems to be fixed in more
  recent kernels:

  http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01688233

  This issue only shows up when you don't have the Battery Backed Cache
  option for the Smart Array controller.
