<div><font color="#1F497D"> </font></div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>BUILDIO – </li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>there are some IOCTLs which wind up launching actual IO from the BuildIo context. This should never happen – they need to stage for the IO op and then launch their state machines in StartIo.</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="2" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>MIGRATE to VS2013/WDK 8.1 </li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" start="2" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>Microsoft came out with VS2013/WDK 8.1 many months ago at this point. </li><li>Migrating to the VS2013/WDK 8.1 platform will allow us to take advantage of <font color="#365F91"><b>StorPortGetProcessorIndexFromNumber()</b></font>. This API makes fixing enumeration/organization of core table array (and subsequent runtime lookups) much
easier.</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="3" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>NVM FMT CMD – </li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>In addition to needing to enhance the NVM Format state machine -already an agenda item – (to quiesce all outstanding IO before initiating the format/reject new reqs while cmd is in progress, etc) there are also bugs in the logic when the Global Identifier
is used (I don’t remember what they are, I just remember running into them around the time of 1<font size="1"><span style="font-size:6.65pt;"><sup>st</sup></span></font> plugfest)</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="4" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>PRP LIST BUILDING – </li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" start="4" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>Function NVMePreparePRPs() never fleshes out the PRP List for NVMe commands that need more than 2 PRP entries. So for ex, if a Vendor Specific command is sent via private IOCTL and the 2<font size="1"><span style="font-size:6.65pt;"><sup>nd</sup></span></font>
PRP entry is a pointer to a PRP list, the list is never built at all. The routine needs to be expanded to handle more than 2 PRP entries.</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="5" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>PARAMLISTLENGTH –</li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" start="5" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>In SntiTranslateWriteBuffer (and maybe other routines, need to look again), “dword10 |= paramListLength;” should be changed to “dword10 |= paramListLength <span style="background-color:yellow;">/ NUM_BYTES_IN_DWORDS</span>;” where NUM_<font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">BYTES_IN_DWORDS
== 4</span></font></li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="6" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>ORPHANED REQUESTS – </li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" start="6" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>FormatNVMFailure() still leaving orphaned requests outstanding if it encounters an error. This will cause an application that sent the request to hang waiting for a completion that will never come. I sent a proposed patch to the reflector many months ago
on the subject.</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div style="padding-left:54pt;"> </div>
<ol start="7" style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li>FreeQList ACCESSES –</li></span></font>
</ol>
<ol type="a" start="7" style="margin:0;padding-left:72pt;">
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<li> In the StartIo path, protect manipulation of SQI->FreeQList in ProcessIo from manipulation of the same list in IoCompletion DPC. Recommend taking DPC lock to do so. (It’s possible that adding group-awareness to core table array will eliminate observation
of simultaneous threads of execution in both code paths – needs more investigation).</li></span></font>
