Shivasharan S 3f6194af53 scsi: megaraid_sas: Add watchdog thread to detect Firmware fault
Currently driver checks for Firmware state change from ISR context, and
only when there are interrupts tied with no I/O completions.  We have seen
multiple cases where doorbell interrupts sent by firmware to indicate FW
state change are not processed by driver and it takes long time for driver
to trigger OCR. And if there are no IOs running, since we only check the FW
state as part of ISR code, fault goes undetected by driver and OCR will not
be triggered.

This patch introduces a separate workqueue that runs every one second to
detect Firmware FAULT state and trigger reset immediately.  As an
additional gain, removing PCI reads from ISR to check FW state results in
improved performance as well.

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.
