Changes from 5.26 =================== 1. During Logical drives creation/deletion through OpenManage Array Manager, OpenManage Array Manager, used to hang as it keeps on waiting for the notification of the drive created/removed. This issue has been resolved in the driver by sending notification to the system manager about the arrival/removal of a logical drives. 2. A bug fixed in the Read/Write path with PAE support enabled. 3. Miniport driver was scanning Qlogic Chips for CERC controllers. This problem was causing the driver to scan for the Qlogic chips during boot up or during hibernation, which was resulting in the system hang. This problem has been fixed by disabling scan of Qlogic chips for the CERC controllers. 4. In case of a reset, the driver was not able to complete all outstanding commands to the OS, resulting in a lockup of the system. This is fixed by purging all the outstanding commands with the driver. The OS will retry those commands and system will not lockup 5. Support for legacy functions has been added. The new driver will return success if it supports Random Delete operation. This has been done so that the driver does not hang if the Firmware does not support Random Delete.
