I recently (like last week) upgraded my home server to Supermicro X9DRL-iF board with Xeon E5-2670 processor.
My problems started when I tried to use the additional SATA controller (ports 7 to 10 on the board) that are supported by the C602 chipset:
C602 chipset 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit
https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SCSI_ISCI.html
SATA ports 1 to 6 are "internal" and are working OK.

My problems are similar to that topic https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-958726-start-0.html
Drives weren't detected at all, I found that I have to enable CONFIG_SCSI_SAS_ATA config option, when I did that, boom, kernel panic, null pointer dereference (gentoo hardened 4.8.7, same was on 4.7.x):

Attached are SATA drives, 3Gbps, 1.5 TB, Samsungs. C602 should support them.
Anybody has any experience with this chipset?

You may check bugs.kernel.org (or what its called) and report there please.

Only idea. Check the wiring of the box. replug everthing. try a livemedia to check if it happens there too.

Thanks for kernel bugzilla hint.

I found an old issue there for C602 chipset: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60644

Quote:
I ran more detailed tests this weekend.

ASPM & MSI disabled = stable machine under zfs load

ASPM disabled / MSI enabled = stable machine under zfs load

ASPM enabled / MSI disabled = unstable, lost an HBA under zfs load


Hardware:
Supermicro X8DTH-iF, BIOS 2.1b (current)
2x Xeon X5670, 48GB DDR3 1333Mhz Reg/ECC
3x LSI 9207-8i, phase 18 firmware
36x Seagate ST32000444SS

It appears to be ASPM and vulnerability to issue may vary by chipset.


I remeber that I enabled quite aggresive power management in BIOS and also many PM options in kernel. Worth investigating.

I just found out that I enabled this option:

Code:
 CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT:

  x   Depends on: SCSI [=y]                       


And the kernel panic clearly references blk-mq code. I'll try to disable it and test again. Maybe the bug is somewhere there.

It kinda works after disabling blk-mq code. Disks are accessible and working, but I have this in dmesg:

I also have PCI-Ex SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller that is working stable and I may just as well use that.
