>Description:
The timeout calculation in the siop driver overflows a 32-bit int
if the requested timeout is sufficiently large... for example, scsictl's
low level format option asks for 21600000ms (6 hours); if hz=100 (i386),
21600000 * hz = 2160000000 (0x80BEFC00), slightly too big for a signed
int.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to do a low level format with scsictl. E.g.
# scsictl /dev/rsd3d format
sd3(siop1:1:0): command timeout
siop1: scsi bus reset
cmd 0xc05e28d0 (target 1) in reset list
cmd 0xc05e28d0 about to be processed
siop1: target 1 now synchronous at 5.0Mhz, offset 8
siop1: target 0 now synchronous at 10.0Mhz, offset 8
>Fix:
This seems to work, although it increases the granularity to 1 second...
