PROBLEM: (QAR 47824 IPMT UVO105870) (Patch ID: TCR100-018) ******** System would panic with the message "MC stuck removing {primary/alternate}'s node" on an 8-node cluster. PROBLEM: (CLD MGO101413) (Patch ID: TCR100-023) ******** The 'sysconfig -q rm' command may crash a node. Without this patch, the command causes the rm_spur driver to probe MEMORY CHANNEL hardware in a way that essentially takes the adapter offline momentarily. Any data transfer in process will fail catastrophically. Typical crash data might look like: 0 boot src/kernel/arch/alpha/machdep.c : 2634 1 panic src/kernel/bsd/subr_prf.c : 707 2 thread_block src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c : 1925 3 thread_preempt src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c : 3820 4 boot src/kernel/arch/alpha/machdep.c : 2581 5 panic src/kernel/bsd/subr_prf.c : 791 6 tlaser_pci_clr_err src/kernel/io/dec/pci/pcia.c : 3467 7 _XentInt src/kernel/arch/alpha/locore.s : 1049 8 read_io_port src/kernel/io/dec/pci/pcia.c : 764 9 tlaser_pci_config src/kernel/io/dec/pci/pcia.c : 4141 10 rmGetWindowSize src/kernel/io/dec/pci/rm_spur.c : 2394 11 rm_window_size src/kernel/io/dec/pci/rm_spur.c : 2376 12 rm_spur_configure src/kernel/io/dec/pci/rm_spur_cfg.c : 176 13 kmodcall src/kernel/bsd/kern_kmodcall.c : 360 14 syscall src/kernel/arch/alpha/syscall_trap.c : 564 15 _Xsyscall src/kernel/arch/alpha/locore.s : 1209 and stack trace : CONTEXT: PANIC PID: 32727 COMMAND: "sysconfig" THREAD: fffffc00ef584b00 CPU: 0 (active) EVENT: ---------------- STATE: RUN CPU: 0 PID: 32727 THREAD: fffffc00ef584b00 COMMAND: "sysconfig" 1: panic+172: boot(0x0, 0x4) 2: thread_block+120: panic("thread_block: interrupt level call") 3: thread_preempt+260: thread_block() 4: boot+512: thread_preempt(0x26) 5: panic+588: boot(0x0, 0x0) 6: tlaser_pci_clr_err+904: panic("pciaerror") 7: _XentInt+124: tlaser_pci_clr_err(0xfffffc000069c5f0) 8: read_io_port+604: _XentInt() r0, v0: 0x10000008 r16, a0: 0xc300040218 r1, t0: 0x40000000000 r17, a1: 0x1 r2, t1: 0x2000 r18, a2: 0x300000000 r3, t2: 0x1 r19, a3: 0 r4, t3: 0x1 r20, a4: 0 r5, t4: 0x2000000007265 r21, a5: 0x3 r6, t5: 0x2000000007265 r22, t8: 0xc r7, t6: 0x300000000000000 r23, t9: 0xfffffc00c2d0f450 r8, t7: 0x1 r24,t10: 0xc300040200 r9, s0: 0xfffffc00ffde8000 r25,t11: 0x18 r10, s1: 0xc300000000 r26, ra: 0xfffffc0000649618 r11, s2: 0 r27,t12: 0xfffffc000064df24 r12, s3: 0x4 r28, at: 0xfffffc00005c2730 r13, s4: 0xc300002010 r29, gp: 0xfffffc0000753b00 r14, s5: 0x4 r30, sp: 0xfffffffe91ccb670 r15, s6: 0xc300000010 r31,zer: 0x1 9: tlaser_pci_config+736: read_io_port(0xc300002010, 0x4, 0x0) 10: rmGetWindowSize+172: tlaser_pci_config(0xc300000010, 0x4, 0x0, 0x10) 11: rm_window_size+32: rmGetWindowSize(0xfffffc00ffde8000) 12: rm_spur_configure+304: rm_window_size(0x1) 13: kmodcall+2892: rm_spur_configure(0x2, 0xfffffc0057f85200, 0xc, 0x0, 0x0) 14: syscall+752: kmodcall(???, 0xfffffffe91ccb8f0, 0xfffffffe91ccb8e0) 15: _Xsyscall+116: syscall(0x1)
