- Use callout(9) rather than timeout(9).
- Add a mutex as an I/O lock that protects the adapter and is used
for the I/O path.
- Add an sx lock as a configuration lock that protects the relationship
of configured volumes.
- Freeze the request queue when a DMA load is deferred with EINPROGRESS
and unfreeze the queue when the DMA callback is invoked.
- Explicitly poll the hardware while waiting to submit a command to
allow completed commands to free up slots in the command ring.
- Remove driver-wide 'initted' variable from mlx_*_fw_handshake() routines.
That state should be per-controller instead. Add it as an argument
since the first caller knows when it is the first caller.
- Remove explicit bus_space tag/handle and use bus_*() rather than
bus_space_*().
- Move duplicated PCI device ID probing into a mlx_pci_match() routine.
- Don't check for PCIM_CMD_MEMEN (the PCI bus will enable that when
allocating the resource) and use pci_enable_busmaster() rather than
manipulating the register directly.
Tested by: no one despite multiple requests (hope it works)
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.

Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency.
Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument.
Add a flag argument for new-line termination.
Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l.
Correctly print the name of all bio commands.
Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c,
and from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/disk.h>.
Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include <sys/disk.h> as needed.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs.
Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem
to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted
and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

Fix a missing splx() that may have left us at splbio() for longer than

Reduce shadowing of controller-supplied parameters a little.
- Free resources in all the possible attachment failure cases.
One critical bugfix:
- Fix a race where it was possible to get out of synch with the log
messages from the controller, if the controller hung up for any
period of time (eg. while resetting a SCSI bus). This would result
in an endless string of console errors, bringing the machine to a
halt.

this version include:
- Support for version 2.x firmware (2.42 or later recommended). This
means we are the only open-source driver supporting these adapters.
This code has only been tested on a Digital KZPCA adapter in an Alpha
system, but is believed to be correct. NOTE: EISA adapters are not
yet supported.
- Support the BIOS/Firmware initialisation handshake protocol. This
allows the driver to bring the card up to operational state even if
the BIOS can't be run (eg. if it's an x86 BIOS in an Alpha system).
- A working command pasthrough interface. This allows a user-space
configuration tool (under development) to issue arbitrary commands
to the controller or to devices in the system.
- Don't keep private copies of some of the data fields from the
ENQUIRY and ENQUIRY2 commands. Instead, standardise on the ENQUIRY2
command for initial adapter information, and keep a copy of the entire
structure. Refer to it where appropriate.
- Move all of the controller description functionality into a new
function. Print lots more controller data if bootverbose is set.
Add knowledge of the DAC960 PR, PT, PTL0 and PRL controllers, rename
the 960PTL -> PTL0 and 1100P -> 1100PVX.

and fixing some major bugs.
- Add support for the v5 firmware interface, used by the DAC1164P
(tested) and AcceleRAID 352 (untested but should work). We now cover
all of the Mylex family's protocols except for v2 (used by EISA and
Alpha-compatible cards).
- Fix an accounting bug which resulted in endless 'poll still busy'
messages. In situations of high controller load the count of poll
commands could be incremented without actually successfully launching
a command. This totally removes the accounting for status poll
commnads; it was its own worst enemy.
- Add some simple reentry prevention locks to processing of the waiting
and completed command queues to prevent races which could result in
I/O being done or completed twice (both are fatal). This highlights
a need for simple locking primitives in both the UP and SMP kernels.
- Streamline the handling of command completion to reduce the amount of
redundant work being done. Remove the code which tests for commands
that have gone missing in action; nobody has ever seen one of these
and it wouldn't have worked properly anyhow.
- Handle disconnection of drives from the controller in the detach,
not shutdown method. This avoids problems flushing the cache in
a panic when a drive is mounted.
- Don't call bus_generic_detach when disconnecting drives; it doesn't
actually do anything useful.
- Increment the log message index regardless of whether we actually
retrieved one or not. If we run into a message that we can't fetch,
we don't want to spin endlessly complaining about the fact.
- Don't assume that interrupts will work when we're flushing the
controller. We may think they are enabled, but in eg. a panic
situation the controller may not be able to deliver an interrupt.
Shift to using the same queueing strategy that the amr driver uses.
Some simple tests indicate that we use about 2% of the CPU at around
500tps with the controller completely saturated with I/O.
PJ cards. This will probably also support the AcceleRAID and
eXtremeRAID cards, but nobody has volunteered one for testing, so I
haven't enabled their PCI device IDs.
Slightly clean up communication between the disk devices and the
controller device as per new practice, and move some more register-
related items int mlxreg.h from mlxvar.h.
Remove some unnecessary read-modify-write operations to the card
control registers; they don't behave like that.
Increase the status polling interval to 10 seconds. It's still possible
to load the card up to the point where a status poll will find the
previous poll still running, but this will reduce the incidence of
complaints.
