Hello,

I just filed PR kern/155499 regarding an mfi(4) command timeout loop
when I try to boot an 8.2-RELEASE kernel.  This system does not have any
problems with 8.1-RELEASE.

With MFI_DEBUG I get the following output:

mfi0: COMMAND 0xffffff80002c6440 TIMEOUT AFTER 59 SECONDS
mfi0: cm=0xffffff80002c6440 index=8 total_frame_size=52 extra_frames=0
mfi0: flags=83<MAPPED,DATAIN,Q_BUSY>
mfi0: cmd=MFI_CMD_DCMD opcode=LD_GET_LIST data_len=1032
mfi0: flags=12<SGL64,READ>
SG List:
0x1a3d000:001032
mfi0: mfi_timeout 2522 COMMAND 0xffffff80002c6440 S/G count bad 0 1032 1032
0x1a3d000
mfi0: cm=0xffffff80002c6440 index=8 total_frame_size=52 extra_frames=0
mfi0: flags=83<MAPPED,DATAIN,Q_BUSY>
mfi0: cmd=MFI_CMD_DCMD opcode=LD_GET_LIST data_len=1032
mfi0: flags=12<SGL64,READ>
SG List:
0x1a3d000:001032

This output repeats itself every 30 seconds (with the timeout counter
increasing).

The card is an LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E:

blee at genesis ~ $ pciconf -lv | grep -A4 mfi0
mfi0 at pci0:6:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x10011000 chip=0x04111000
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)'
device = 'MegaRAID Family RAID Controller'
class = mass storage
subclass = RAID
blee at genesis ~ $ sudo mfiutil show adapter
