- Allocate 256 handlers more than payload commands for management purposes.
- Increase maximum number of handlers from 8K to 16K by tuning the format.
- Just to be safe limit the number of payload commands to 16K - 256.
- Limit number of target exchanges in mixed mode to the number of atpds.
- If we still somehow get out of atpds -- return BUSY, since we really are.
There is not much to inherit any more, may create more problems than solve.
Instead parent them all directly to upstream.
While there, add missed payload tag and tune scratch tag destructions.
Qlogic chips store S/G lists in the same queue as requests themselves. In
the worst case 1MB I/O may require up to 52 IOCBs, that means queue of 1024
IOCBs can store only 19 of such requests. The increase reduces chances of
overflow, while we should be able to afford additional 512KB of RAM per HBA.
The Linux driver uses comparable numbers.
While there, decouple ATIO queue size from response queue size. There is
no reason for them to be equal.
- Make isp_start() to set all the IOCB fields aside of S/G list, removing
extra information from isp_send_cmd(), now only doing S/G lists and sending.
- Turn DMA setup/free from being card and PCI-specific into OS-specific,
instead add new card-specific method for isp_send_cmd(). Previously this
function was a monster handling all the cards.
- Remove double error code translation.
This removes 288KB (36%) of the driver code and zillions of hacks and
workarounds, making single driver uniformly support several different
generations of hardware interfaces, not counting minor card variations.
After years of the hopeless fight, I don't think it worth to continue
support for hardware obsolete for 15-20 years. Instead much cleaner
now code should allow to move forward toward better locking, multiple
queues and other cool features.
All the remaining Qlogic cards starting from 4Gb 24xx to 32Gb 27xx use
the same hardware/firmware interface with minor incremental improvements,
so it seems to be a good new starting point. Except one PCI-X model all
all of them are PCIe and so still usable in modern systems.

Ecmd memory is not directly related to the request queue, only referenced
from it sometimes in target mode. Separate allocation should be easier
in case of fragmented memory and can be skipped when target is not built.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
For 24xx and above use 2 vectors (default and response queue).
For 26xx and above use 3 vectors (default, response and ATIO queues).
Due to global lock interrupt hardlers never run simultaneously now, but
at least this allows to save one regitster read per interrupt.

Instead of single isp_intr() function doing all possible magic, introduce
four different functions to handle mailbox operation completions, async
events, response and ATIO queues. The goal is to isolate different code
paths to make code more readable, and to make easier support for multiple
interrupt vectors. Even oldest hardware in many cases can identify what
code path it should run on interrupt. Contemporary hardware can assign
them to different interrupt vectors.

This change fixes DMA resource leak on driver unload. Also it removes
DMA resources allocation for hardcoded number of requests before fetching
the real number from firmware. Also it prepares ground for more flexible
IRQs allocation according to firmware capabilities.

FC-Tape provides additional link level error recovery, and is
highly recommended for tape devices. It will only be turned on for
a given target if the target supports it.
Without this setting, we default to whatever FC-Tape setting is in
NVRAM on the card.
This can be overridden by setting the following loader tunable, for
example for isp0:
hint.isp.0.nofctape=1
sys/conf/options:
Add a new kernel config option, ISP_FCTAPE_OFF, that
defaults the FC-Tape configuration to off.
sys/dev/isp/isp_pci.c:
If ISP_FCTAPE_OFF is defined, turn off FC-Tape. Otherwise,
turn it on if the card supports it.
share/man/man4/isp.4:
Add a description of FC-Tape to the isp(4) man page.
Add descriptions of the fctape and nofctape options, as well as the
ISP_FCTAPE_OFF kernel configuration option.
Add the ispfw module and kernel drivers to the suggested
configurations at the top of the man page so that users are less
likely to leave it out. The driver works well with the included
firmware, but may not work at all with whatever firmware the user
has flashed on their card.

Usually IOCBs should be put on queue for asynchronous processing and should
not require additional DMA memory. But there are some cases like aborts and
resets that for external reasons has to be synchronous. Give those cases
separate 2*64 byte DMA area to decouple them from other DMA scratch area
users, using it for asynchronous requests.
I am not sure why this was split long ago, but I see no reason for it.
At this point this unification just slightly reduces memory usage, but
as next step I plan to reuse shared handle space for other IOCB types.
- Make scan aborted by event restart immediately and infinitely.
- Improve handling of some loop events from firmware.
- Remove loop down timer, adding its functionality to scanner thread.
- Some more unification and simplification.
Hacks to enable target mode there complicated code, while didn't really
work. And for outdated hardware fixing it is not really interesting.
Initiator mode tested with Qlogic 1080 adapter is still working fine.
FC port database code already notifies CAM about all devices. Additional
full scan is just a waste of time, that by definition won't find anything
that is not present in port database.
It (mostly) allows to enable/disable initiator mode in run time.
Target mode control is blocked here to force coordination with CTL.
While there, add separate tunables/sysctls for virtual channels.
command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set
the busmaster enable bit.
This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their
associated drives/enclosures disappearing during boot.
