If max_sg_length is less than CISS_MAX_SG_ELEMENTS, then
we will set round the value of max_sg_length to the nearest

CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.
It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.
Some CTL features:
- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.
(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.
ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.
ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.
ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.
ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.
ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.
ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.
ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.
ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.
ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.
ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.
ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.
ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.
ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.
ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.
ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.
ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.
ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.
ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.
ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.
scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.

CAM.
Desriptor sense is a new sense data format that originated in SPC-3. Among
other things, it allows for an 8-byte info field, which is necessary to
pass back block numbers larger than 4 bytes.
This change adds a number of new functions to scsi_all.c (and therefore
libcam) that abstract out most access to sense data.
This includes a bump of CAM_VERSION, because the CCB ABI has changed.
Userland programs that use the CAM pass(4) driver will need to be
recompiled.
camcontrol.c: Change uses of scsi_extract_sense() to use
scsi_extract_sense_len().
Use scsi_get_sks() instead of accessing sense key specific
data directly.
scsi_modes: Update the control mode page to the latest version (SPC-4).
scsi_cmds.c,
scsi_target.c: Change references to struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed. This should be changed to allow the
user to specify fixed or descriptor sense, and then use
scsi_set_sense_data() to build the sense data.
ps3cdrom.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of setting sense data
manually.
cam_periph.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of using
scsi_extract_sense() or accessing sense data directly.
cam_ccb.h: Bump the CAM_VERSION from 0x15 to 0x16. The change of
struct scsi_sense_data from 32 to 252 bytes changes the
size of struct ccb_scsiio, but not the size of union ccb.
So the version must be bumped to prevent structure
mis-matches.
scsi_all.h: Lots of updated SCSI sense data and other structures.
Add function prototypes for the new sense data functions.
Take out the inline implementation of scsi_extract_sense().
It is now too large to put in a header file.
Add macros to calculate whether fields are present and
filled in fixed and descriptor sense data
scsi_all.c: In scsi_op_desc(), allow the user to pass in NULL inquiry
data, and we'll assume a direct access device in that case.
Changed the SCSI RESERVED sense key name and description
to COMPLETED, as it is now defined in the spec.
Change the error recovery action for a number of read errors
to prevent lots of retries when the drive has said that the
block isn't accessible. This speeds up reconstruction of
the block by any RAID software running on top of the drive
(e.g. ZFS).
In scsi_sense_desc(), allow for invalid sense key numbers.
This allows calling this routine without checking the input
values first.
Change scsi_error_action() to use scsi_extract_sense_len(),
and handle things when invalid asc/ascq values are
encountered.
Add a new routine, scsi_desc_iterate(), that will call the
supplied function for every descriptor in descriptor format
sense data.
Add scsi_set_sense_data(), and scsi_set_sense_data_va(),
which build descriptor and fixed format sense data. They
currently default to fixed format sense data.
Add a number of scsi_get_*() functions, which get different
types of sense data fields from either fixed or descriptor
format sense data, if the data is present.
Add a number of scsi_*_sbuf() functions, which print
formatted versions of various sense data fields. These
functions work for either fixed or descriptor sense.
Add a number of scsi_sense_*_sbuf() functions, which have a
standard calling interface and print the indicated field.
These functions take descriptors only.
Add scsi_sense_desc_sbuf(), which will print a formatted
version of the given sense descriptor.
Pull out a majority of the scsi_sense_sbuf() function and
put it into scsi_sense_only_sbuf(). This allows callers
that don't use struct ccb_scsiio to easily utilize the
printing routines. Revamp that function to handle
descriptor sense and use the new sense fetching and
printing routines.
Move scsi_extract_sense() into scsi_all.c, and implement it
in terms of the new function, scsi_extract_sense_len().
The _len() version takes a length (which should be the
sense length - residual) and can indicate which fields are
present and valid in the sense data.
Add a couple of new scsi_get_*() routines to get the sense
key, asc, and ascq only.
mly.c: Rename struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed.
sbp_targ.c: Use the new sense fetching routines to get sense data
instead of accessing it directly.
sbp.c: Change the firewire/SCSI sense data transformation code to
use struct scsi_sense_data_fixed instead of struct
scsi_sense_data. This should be changed later to use
scsi_set_sense_data().
ciss.c: Calculate the sense residual properly. Use
scsi_get_sense_key() to fetch the sense key.
mps_sas.c,
mpt_cam.c: Set the sense residual properly.
iir.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of building sense data by
hand.
iscsi_subr.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of grabbing sense data
directly.
umass.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() to build sense data.
Grab the sense key using scsi_get_sense_key().
Calculate the sense residual properly.
isp_freebsd.h: Use scsi_get_*() routines to grab asc, ascq, and sense key
values.

- change the way in which command queue overflow is handled;
- do not expose to CAM two command slots, used for driver's internal purposes;
- allow driver to use up to 1024 command slots, instead of 256 before.
- 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.
- Implement MSI support (MSIX support was already there)
- Use a table to drive MSI/MSIX exceptions
- Pre-calculate the command address instead of wasting cycles doing the
calculation on every i/o.

Enable enough interrupt mask bits so that the controller will generate

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.

that there are 3 different interrupt enable bits, 2 for different
families of cards, and 1 for when MSI is used. Also apply a big
hammer backstop for cards that aren't recognized. This should fix
all of the interrupt issues at boot.
code interfered with Performant mode and legacy interrupts. Also
remove a register read operation on the Simplq code that was
effectively a time-wasting no-op.
1. The FreeBSD driver was setting an interrupt coalesce delay of 1000us
for reasons that I can only speculate on. This was hurting everything
from lame sequential I/O "benchmarks" to legitimate filesystem metadata
operations that relied on serialized barrier writes. One of my
filesystem tests went from 35s to complete down to 6s.
2. Implemented the Performant transport method. Without the fix in
(1), I saw almost no difference. With it, my filesystem tests showed
another 5-10% improvement in speed. It was hard to measure CPU
utilization in any meaningful way, so it's not clear if there was a
benefit there, though there should have been since the interrupt handler
was reduced from 2 or more PCI reads down to 1.
3. Implemented MSI-X. Without any docs on this, I was just taking a
guess, and it appears to only work with the Performant method. This
could be a programming or understanding mistake on my part. While this
by itself made almost no difference to performance since the Performant
method already eliminated most of the synchronous reads over the PCI
bus, it did allow the CISS hardware to stop sharing its interrupt with
the USB hardware, which in turn allowed the driver to become decoupled
from the Giant-locked USB driver stack. This increased performance by
almost 20%. The MSI-X setup was done with 4 vectors allocated, but only
1 vector used since the performant method was told to only use 1 of 4
queues. Fiddling with this might make it work with the simpleq method,
not sure. I did not implement MSI since I have no MSI-specific hardware
in my test lab.
4. Improved the locking in the driver, trimmed some data structures.
This didn't improve test times in any measurable way, but it does look
like it gave a minor improvement to CPU usage when many
processes/threads were doing I/O in parallel. Again, this was hard to
accurately test.
