ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.

released management apps.
1. Implement poll(). This will check for queued aif's so that a
subsequent ioctl call to retrieve the next aif will not block.
2. Don't catch signals when sleeping on a fib sent from userland. This
causes a race and panic due to the pthread context switcher waking
up the tsleep at inopportune times.
3. Fix some whitespace nits.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

1. Correctly handle commands initiated by the adapter. These commands
are defered to a kthread responsible for their processing, then are
properly returned to the controller.
2. Add/remove disk devices when notified by the card that a container was
created/deleted/offline.
3. Implement crashdump functionality.
4. Support all ioctls needed for the management CLI to work. The linux
version of this app can be found at the Dell or HP website. A native
version will be forthcoming.

Although it can go higher, it is not safe to so do on arrays with many
members. Compromise by adding a tunable, "hw.aac.iosize_max" that can be
set at boottime. Also document in the aac(4) manpage.

problems that we were seeing on our production server. These patches have
been tested for almost 6 months and are a highly recommended MFC candidate.

with the driver locking up under load.
- Restructure so that we use a static pool of commands/FIBs, rather than
allocating them in clusters. The cluster allocation just made things
more complicated, and allowed us to waste more memory in peak load
situations.
- Make queueing macros more like my other drivers. This adds queue stats
for free. Add some debugging to take advantage of this.
- Reimplement the periodic timeout scan. Kick the interrupt handler
and the start routine every scan as well, just to be safe. Track busy
commands properly.
- Bring resource cleanup into line with resource allocation. We should
now clean up correctly after a failed probe/unload/etc.
- Try to start new commands when old ones are completed. We weren't doing
this before, which could lead to deadlock when the controller was full.
- Don't try to build a new command if we have found a deferred command.
This could cause us to lose the deferred command.
- Use diskerr() to report I/O errors.
- Don't bail if the AdapterInfo structure is the wrong size. Some variation
seems to be normal. We need to improve our handing of 2.x firmware sets.
- Improve some comments in an attempt to try to make things clearer.
- Restructure to avoid some warnings.
