The firmware on the controller crashed.  The best I can suggest is to look for newer firmware (mfiutil can flash firmware) and to call LSI or Dell tech-support and report the problem.  In the past, there have been bugs with patrol reads causing crashes under heavy load, so you might also look at disabling that option.
