get required command protocol. But they have no idea about new commands,
such as DATA SET MANAGEMENT (TRIM). As soon as this info any way provided
by CAM, give controller specific instructions.
It makes MSI working there. Later (and cheaper) PCIe chips (3132/3531)
still randomly crashing system in few seconds of high MSI rates, generating
something inaporopriate, like NMI or "Fatal trap 30".
- Extend XPT-SIM transfer settings control API. Now it allows to report to
SATA SIM number of tags supported by each device, implement ATA mode and
SATA revision negotiation for both SATA and PATA SIMs.
- Make ahci(4) and siis(4) to use submitted maximum tag number, when
scheduling requests. It allows to support NCQ on devices with lower tags
count then controller supports.
- Make PMP driver to report attached devices connection speeds.
- Implement ATA mode negotiation between user settings, device and
controller capabilities.
- Move tagged queueing control from ADA to ATA XPT. It allows to control
device command queue length correctly. First step to support < 32 tags.
- Limit queue for non-tagged devices by 2 slots for ahci(4) and siis(4).
- Implement quirk matching for ATA devices.
- Move xpt_schedule_dev_sendq() from header to source file.
- Move delayed queue shrinking to the more expected place - element freeing.
- Remove some SCSIsms in ATA.
- Rework timeout handling, to make it more graceful for devices sharing
controller port (with PMP). Wait for other commands completion/timeout
before initiating recovery.
- Handle timeouts and fatal errors with port hard-reset. The rest of
recovery will be done by XPT on receiving async event. More gracefull
per-device soft-reset recovery can be implemented later.
Driver supports Serial ATA and ATAPI devices, Port Multipliers
(including FIS-based switching), hardware command queues (31 command
per port) and Native Command Queuing. This is probably the second on
popularity, after AHCI, type of SATA2 controllers, that benefits from
using CAM, because of hardware command queuing support.
