- device initiated power management (some devices support only this way);
- Automatic Partial to Slumber Transition (more power saving);
- DMA auto-activation (expected to slightly improve performance).
More features could be added later, when hardware supports.
As scottl@ noticed, max_target/max_lun was intended to be only a hint for
existing bus scanner. Some FC/SAS SIMs report fake values there, that are
smaller then maximum supported IDs. In that case this check makes impossible
manual scan outside hinted range.
For ATA/SATA SIMs respective check was instead implemented at SIM level.
Newer SCSI SIMs expected to have these checks at driver or firmware level.
Some older SCSI SIMs have no this check and the issues will get back there.

CD_FLAG_VALID_TOC is not required for setting those media properties.

xpt_done for queued requests. This solves the problem of
indefinite hangs for unspecified transports when XPT_SCAN_BUS
is called.
A few minor cosmetics elsewhere.

Add Power Up In Stand-by feature support. Device with PUIS enabled
require explicit command to do initial spin-up. Mark that command
with CAM_HIGH_POWER flag, to allow CAM manage staggered spin-up.
Make CAM to stop all attached devices on system shutdown.
It allows devices to park heads, reducing stress on power loss.
Add `kern.cam.power_down` tunable and sysctl to controll it.
- 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.
- For SSDs use TRIM feature of DATA SET MANAGEMENT command, as defined by
ACS-2 specification working draft.
- For CompactFlash use CFA ERASE command, same as ad(4) does.
With this patch, `newfs -E /dev/ada1` was able to restore write speed of
my heavily weared OCZ Vertex SSD (firmware 1.4) up to the initial level
for the most part of it's capacity. Previous 1.3 firmware, even reportiong
TRIM capabilty bit set, was not working, reporting ABORT error for every
DSM command.
I have no idea whether it is normal, but for some reason it takes 200ms
to handle any TRIM command on this drive, that was making delete extremely
slow. But TRIM command is able to accept long list of LBAs and the length of
that list seems doesn't affect it's execution time. Implemented request
clusting algorithm allowed me to rise delete rate up to reasonable numbers,
when many parallel DELETE requests running.
- Cleanup kernel messages, mostly PMP.
- Took references on devices, while PMP reinitializes them, to not let them
go and distort freeze reference counting.
Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

- 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.
Remove code that years ago was closing race between request submission
to SIM and device/SIM freeze. That race become impossible after moving from
spl to mutex locking, while this workaround causes some unexpected effects.
- 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.
