Add driver mpt3sas for support SuperMicro servers

[Michael Semenov]

We need to include LSI MegaRaid controller driver into 6.0.1 and 6.1. This is critical for SuperMicro certification.

The driver mpt3sas was missed in the message-modules-3.13.0-30-generic-di_3.13.0-30.55~precise1_amd64.udeb which using by d-i for deploying Ubuntu. See the link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1368907 for details. The kernel 3.13.0-37 has a fix.

To possible fix could be just updating the kernel using for Ubuntu installation from the kernel version 3.13.0-30 to a newer one,
let say 3.13.0-46, which we have in updates see the links below.

The currently using mirror is (kernel 3.13.0-30 is the highest version)
http://mirrors-local-msk.msk.mirantis.net/ubuntu-6.0.1/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-lts-trusty/

There is an update (with the kernel version 3.13.0-46)

The custom ISO was build

Trying to test the Ubuntu with the new kernle

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

IMO there is not sense to move the mail stone to 6.0.2 release for this bug.
We have the spare solution with updating mpt3sas driver for kernel 3.13.0-30

Let's discuss it

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Hello Bogdan,

I disagree to move the mail-stone to 6.0.2
More over, the tests have been planned to do on SuperMicro lab.
So we don't have a chance to move the mail-stone.

Looking for to your answer,

Albert Syriy,

Software Engineer,
Mirantis

All built custom ISO's with the kernel 3.13.0-45 (built from internal mirrors or external one) failed deploying.

http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/37/
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/39/
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/40/
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_6.0_iso/42/

ISO tests:

The kernel.log there is a report about sigfault of the shell:
----------------
2015-03-13T09:15:08.270986+00:00 info: [ 26.223056] sh[8382]: segfault at 3f9 ip 00000000000003f9 sp 00007fffa90e8628 error 14 in busybox[400000+51000]
----------------
Installing the libc6-udeb_2.15-0ubuntu10.11_amd64.udeb failed.

There is a work around to put the fixed message-modules-3.13.0-30-generic-di_3.13.0-30.55~precise1_amd64.udeb on the mirrors.

The Fuel 6.1 is not affected by the bug with mpt3sas driver because the bug has been fixed since Ubuntu kernel 3.13.0-37.
Actually Fuel 6.1 has the Ubuntu kernel up to date (3.13.0-45).

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

The Fuel 6.0.1 ISO with Ubuntu kernel 3.13.0-46 has been built from external repository (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main) and available at the link
http://mc0n7-msk.msk.mirantis.net/fuelweb-iso/fuel-gerrit-6.0.1-44-2015-03-13_11-48-45.iso

The Installation tests are passed
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom.ubuntu.bvt_2.old/7/

System tests are passed as well
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_system_test/331/
http://jenkins-product.srt.mirantis.net:8080/view/custom_iso/job/custom_system_test/332/

Looking for to approving the new kernel to fix the bug

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Still looking for a decision about updating kernel.

[OpenStack Infra (hudson-openstack)]

Change abandoned by Albert Syriy (<email address hidden>) on branch: stable/6.0
Review: https://review.openstack.org/161767
Reason: Not need any more.

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Here fixed message-modules-3.13.0-30-generic-di_3.13.0-30.55~precise1_amd64.udeb file with mpt3sas driver.
To fix the bug you can just update the file in Ubuntu debian-installer and re-calculate checsums.

[Albert Syriy (asyriy)]

Updating new kernel version for Ubuntu will fix the issue. Won't fix by potting custom debian installer udeb
