Title:
  arcmsr times out with ARC1882 RAID card

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  tested the latest xenial iso on a file server featuring an ARC-
  1882ix-24 RAID controller, and got weird timeout issues, followed by
  complete loss of access to anything connected to the RAID controller.
  The timeouts occur after a random amount of uptime (sometimes minutes,
  sometimes days), for example:

  kernel: [1665409.969229] arcmsr2: abort device command of scsi id = 0 lun = 1

  some digging revealed that mainline 4.4 as well as xenial's
  4.4.0-14-generic still feature an old, buggy arcmsr driver
  v1.30.00.04-20140919, which claims to "supports" the 1882, but does
  not really...

  Areca seems to have managed to get a fixed driver into mainline 4.5
  (version v1.30.00.22-20151126), and it seems to be a small patch on
  arcmsr.h and a large one on arcmsr_hba.c, and upon a first glance, I
  didn't see anything 4.5-specific in the code:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr.h?id=v4.5&id2=v4.4
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c?id=v4.5&id2=v4.4

  Note that we are using v1.30.0X.21-20151016 (as provided by
  Areca.com.tw) on productive 14.04.4 LTS servers featuring ARC1882
  controllers, so chances are good that version 22 (as included in 4.5
  mainline) to work well.

  This would not only allow ARC-188x controllers to work properly with
  Xenial out-of-the-box, it should also add support for the (somewhat
  popular?) ARC-1203 series
