Please ignore this patch. I missed to add megaraid_sas in subject line. I realized after sending. Will be resending with proper subject.

There was an issue reported by Lucz Geza on Dell Perc 6i. As per issue reported, driver goes into an infinite error reporting loop as soon as there is a change in the status of one of the arrays (degrade, resync online etc …). Below are the error logs reported continuously- Jun 25 08:49:30 ns8 kernel: [ 757.757017] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: DCMD failed/not supported by firmware: megasas_get_pd_list 4115 Jun 25 08:49:30 ns8 kernel: [ 757.778017] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: DCMD failed/not supported by firmware: megasas_get_pd_list 4115 Jun 25 08:49:30 ns8 kernel: [ 757.799017] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: DCMD failed/not supported by firmware: megasas_get_pd_list 4115 Jun 25 08:49:30 ns8 kernel: [ 757.820018] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: DCMD failed/not supported by firmware: megasas_get_pd_list 4115 Jun 25 08:49:30 ns8 kernel: [ 757.841018] megaraid_sas 0000:02:00.0: DCMD failed/not supported by firmware: megasas_get_pd_list 4115 This issue is very much specific to controllers which do not support DCMD- MR_DCMD_PD_LIST_QUERY. In case of any hotplugging/rescanning of drives, AEN thread will be scheduled by driver and fire DCMD- MR_DCMD_PD_LIST_QUERY and if this DCMD is failed then driver will fail this event processing and will not go ahead for further events. This will cause infinite loop of same event getting retried infinitely and causing above mentioned logs. Fix for this problem is: not to fire DCMD MR_DCMD_PD_LIST_QUERY for controllers which do not support it and send DCMD SUCCESS status to AEN function so that it can go ahead with other event processing.
