Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
using a driver-supplied sbuf for printing device discovery
announcements. This helps ensure that messages to the console
will be properly serialized (through sbuf_putbuf) and not be
truncated and interleaved with other messages. The
infrastructure mirrors the existing xpt_announce_periph()
entry point and is opt-in for now. No content or formatting
changes are visible to the operator other than the new coherency.
While here, eliminate the stack usage of the temporary
announcement buffer in some of the drivers. It's moved to the
softc for now, but future work will eliminate it entirely by
making the code flow more linear. Future work will also address
locking so that the sbufs can be dynamically sized.
The scsi_da, scs_cd, scsi_ses, and ata_da drivers are converted
at this point, other drivers can be converted at a later date.
A tunable+sysctl, kern.cam.announce_nosbuf, exists for testing
purposes but will be removed later.
TODO:
Eliminate all of the code duplication and temporary buffers. The
old printf-based methods will be retired, and xpt_announce_periph()
will just be a wrapper that uses a dynamically sized sbuf. This
requires that the register and deregister paths be made malloc-safe,
which they aren't currently.

the pass(4) and enc(4) drivers and devfs.
The pass(4) driver uses the destroy_dev_sched() routine to
schedule its device node for destruction in a separate thread
context. It does this because the passcleanup() routine can get
called indirectly from the passclose() routine, and that would
cause a deadlock if the close routine tried to destroy its own
device node.
In any case, once a particular passthrough driver number, e.g.
pass3, is destroyed, CAM considers that unit number (3 in this
case) available for reuse.
The problem is that devfs may not be done cleaning up the previous
instance of pass3, and will panic if isn't done cleaning up the
previous instance.
The solution is to get a callback from devfs when the device node
is removed, and make sure we hold a reference to the peripheral
until that happens.
Testing exposed some other cases where we have reference counting
issues, and those were also fixed in the pass(4) driver.
cam_periph.c: In camperiphfree(), reorder some of the operations.
The peripheral destructor needs to be called before
the peripheral is removed from the peripheral is
removed from the list. This is because once we
remove the peripheral from the list, and drop the
topology lock, the peripheral number may be reused.
But if the destructor hasn't been called yet, there
may still be resources hanging around (like devfs
nodes) that haven't been fully cleaned up.
cam_xpt.c: Add an argument to xpt_remove_periph() to indicate
whether the topology lock is already held.
scsi_enc.c: Acquire an extra reference to the peripheral during
registration, and release it once we get a callback
from devfs indicating that the device node is gone.
Call destroy_dev_sched_cb() in enc_oninvalidate()
instead of calling destroy_dev() in the cleanup
routine.
scsi_pass.c: Add reference counting to handle peripheral and
devfs object lifetime issues.
Add a reference to the peripheral and the devfs
node in the peripheral registration.
Don't attempt to add a physical path alias if the
peripheral has been marked invalid.
Release the devfs reference once the initial
physical path alias taskqueue run has completed.
Schedule devfs node destruction in the
passoninvalidate(), and release our peripheral
reference in a new routine, passdevgonecb() once
the devfs node is gone. This allows the peripheral
to fully go away, and the peripheral destructor,
passcleanup(), will get called.

- Unify bus reset/probe sequence. Whenever bus attached at boot or later,
CAM will automatically reset and scan it. It allows to remove duplicate
code from many drivers.
- Any bus, attached before CAM completed it's boot-time initialization,
will equally join to the process, delaying boot if needed.
- New kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable should help controllers that
are still unable to register their buses in time (such as slow USB/
PCCard/ CardBus devices), by adding one more event to wait on boot.
- To allow synchronization between different CAM levels, concept of
requests priorities was extended. Priorities now split between several
"run levels". Device can be freezed at specified level, allowing higher
priority requests to pass. For example, no payload requests allowed,
until PMP driver enable port. ATA XPT negotiate transfer parameters,
periph driver configure caching and so on.
- Frozen requests are no more counted by request allocation scheduler.
It fixes deadlocks, when frozen low priority payload requests occupying
slots, required by higher levels to manage theit execution.
- Two last changes were holding proper ATA reinitialization and error
recovery implementation. Now it is done: SATA controllers and Port
Multipliers now implement automatic hot-plug and should correctly
recover from timeouts and bus resets.
- Improve SCSI error recovery for devices on buses without automatic sense
reporting, such as ATAPI or USB. For example, it allows CAM to wait, while
CD drive loads disk, instead of immediately return error status.
- Decapitalize diagnostic messages and make them more readable and sensible.
- Teach PMP driver to limit maximum speed on fan-out ports.
- Make boot wait for PMP scan completes, and make rescan more reliable.
- Fix pass driver, to return CCB to user level in case of error.
- Increase number of retries in cd driver, as device may return several UAs.
modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

use to synchornize and protect all data objects that are used for that
SIM. Drivers that are not yet MPSAFE register Giant and operate as
usual. RIght now, no drivers are MPSAFE, though a few will be changed
in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.
module-specific malloc types. These should help us to pinpoint the
possible memory leakage in the future.
- Implementing xpt_alloc_ccb_nowait() and replacing all malloc/free based
CCB memory management with xpt_alloc_ccb[_nowait]/xpt_free_ccb. Hopefully
this would be helpful if someday we move the CCB allocator to use UMA
instead of malloc().

BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
