[RHEL6] CCISS_GETHEARTBEAT ioctl missing from hbsa driver

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise 6.1
  • Smart Array and hpsa driver

Issue

  • cme_deadlock_mon is used to monitor system for disk lockup.  Box is being rebooted in 6.1, but not in 5.5.

Resolution

Fixed in RHEL 6.2.

Root Cause

The CCISS_GETHEARTBEAT ioctl is not implemented within the hbsa driver which causes a regression in this case.  The ioctl branch is there in the code, but it now doesn't do anything except return an error.
