APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The kernel trace hook 0x3B9 which is used to format trace
    events from the Fibre Channel device driver does not
    format
    the data correctly. It attempts to use the generic 0xDD1
    trace hook.
    

Local fix

  • In /etc/trcfmt locate the hook 0x3B9. It will appear as
    follows:
    
    3B9 1.0 "FCDD" \
        $DD1
    
    Replace it with the following:
    
    3B9 1.0 "FCDD" \
            $HDU, \
            0xc3  { "command_out: ap: " $D3 " ctl_elem: " $D1
    " iocb: " $D2 " ring: " $D4 }, \
            0xc4  { "command_in:  ap: " $D3 " ctl_elem: " $D1
    " iocb: " $D2 " ring: " $D4 }, \
            0x15  { "entry_intr:  ap: " $D1 }, \
            0x16  { "exit_intr:   ap: " $D2 " har: " $D1 }, \
            0xbf  { "entry_offl:  ap: " $D1 " poll_state: "
    $D2 " io_rate_ctr: " $D3 }, \
            0xc0  { "entry_poll_tmr: ap: " $D1 " poll_state:
    " $D2 " io_rate_ctr: " $D3 }, \
            0xc1  { "poll_mode_on:   ap: " $D1 " poll_state:
    " $D2 " io_rate_ctr: " $D3 }, \
            0xc2  { "poll_mode_off:  ap: " $D1 " poll_state:
    " $D2 " io_rate_ctr: " $D3 }, \
            \*    { "Unknown sub-opcode. Verify." }
    
    Here is a sample output:
    
    3B9  wait           0   131077        2.224288
           FCDD entry_intr:  ap: F1000A0150610000
    3B9  wait           0   131077        2.224418
           FCDD command_in:  ap: F1000A0150610000 ctl_elem:
    F1000A002735DDE8 iocb: F1000A01505933C0 ring: 0001
    3B9  wait           0   131077        2.224424
           FCDD exit_intr:   ap: F1000A0150610000 har: 0080
    

Problem summary

  • Trace hook 0X3B9 does not provide traced data.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Adding the data field for trace hook 0x3B9
