Description

Want to integrate the one outstanding bugfix in the SmartOS tree for mpt_sas that hasn't made it upstream.

The relevant commit can be found at https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/commit/d8b8daca0baacf10f4535dddb56338d0afc3b335; I'll try to ask il-dev to review a (basically unmodified) respin of the patch against il-gate HEAD, and then kick it off for RTI.

To verbatim copy from its bug report (in the event that one of these becomes unavailable before the other):

From Zhiwen Zhang:

The IOC reset path does not need to replace the refhash. In addition to causing a memory leak, this approach leads to potential hangs in the case described above. Instead, we should allocate this once in the attach path and then leave it alone.

Keith's patch just directly applied sanely, so that was simple enough.

Full build running now, then I'll ask -dev for reviewers, try to find an advocate, and then hopefully RTI quickly enough...
