Overhaul of the attach/detach code and structures, there were some nasty
bugs in the old implementation. This made it possible to collapse the
ATA/ATAPI device control structures into one generic structure.
A note here, the kernel is NOT ready for detach of active devices,
it fails all over in random places, but for inactive devices it works.
However for ATA RAID this works, since the RAID abstration layer
insulates the buggy^H^H^H^H^H^Hfragile device subsystem from the
physical disks.
Proberly detect the RAID's from the BIOS, and mark critical RAID1
arrays as such, but continue if there is enough of the mirror left
to do so.
Properly fail arrays on a live system. For RAID0 that means return EIO,
and for RAID1 it means continue on the still working part of the mirror
if possible, else return EIO.
If the state changes, log this to the console.
Allow for Promise & Highpoint controllers/arrays to coexist on the
same machine. It is not possible to distribute arrays over different
makes of controllers though.
If Promise SuperSwap enclosures are used, signal disk state on the
status LED on the front.
Misc fixes that I had lying around for various minor bugs.

Add tagged queueing support for new IBM drives.
Add support for Yet Another Promise ATA 100 chip.
Flush disk cache on close.
Dont flush the disk cache on BIO_ORDERED anymore.
Cleanup the tests for DMA on ATAPI devices.
Allow to share ALL irq's even the std irg 14 & 15.
Fix calculation bug in end of media code on CD's.
Add REZERO on opening a CDR/CDRW.
Cleanup ataioctl a bit.
see atacontrol(8) for more.
Also the ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA, ATA_ENABLE_WC and ATA_ENABLE_TAGS
options are gone, use the tuneables listed in ata.4 instead from
the loader (this makes it possible to switch off DMA before the
driver has to touch the devices on broken hardware).
Proberly fail outstanding bio requests on devices that are detached.
This makes it possible to change between disk/cdrom/dvd/whathaveyou
in a notebook, just by suspending it, changing the device in the
bay (or what you model calls it), unsuspend and the ATA driver
will figure out what disappeared and properly fail those, and attach
any new devices found.
This is due to a bug that has been in there since Warneer did the
PCCARD stuff, the altioaddr is not offset 8 its offset 14 from
the base address.
Also only probe the master device, no known PCCARD ATA thingies
has a slave AFAIK..
IBM's DPTA and DTLA series of drives (no other disk vendors are known
to support this) on non-Promise controllers (promise controllers lockup
when given the tagged queuing specific commands).
It gives especially master/slave comboes about 5% better performance.
Add support for the Promise ATA100 OEM chip (pdc20265)
Add support for the Cyrix 5530
Change the way status is read from the drives, use the alternate
status reg when possible.
Better support for DEVFS, the acdXtY devices are now created when needed.
Lots of little cleanups.
Promise Ultra100 / Fasttrak100
HighPoint HPT370 controllers (fx Abit KA7-100 onboard ctrl, Abit HotRod 100)
Intel ICH2 (Intel 815E based motherboards)
So far I can read >90MB/s on the Promise and the HPT370.
I can write >64MB/s on the promise and >50MB/s on the HPT370 so it seems
writing is still done in ATA66 mode :(
The ICH2 support is untested as of yet...
Call intr_teardown on detach.
Always add non masterdevice from unit 2 upwards.
Update to the pccard code, at least some cards are now working,
more testing to follow.
was needed to make attach/detach of devices work, which is
needed for the PCCARD support.
(PCCARD support is still not working though, more to come on that)
Support the CMD646 chip which is used on many alphas, sadly only
in WDMA2 mode, as the silicon is broken beyond belief for UDMA modes.
Lots of cosmetic fixes here and there.
Sorry for the size of this megapatchfromhell but it was not
possible otherwise...
newbus patches based on work from: dfr (Doug Rabson)
Try to support older systems reporting irq0 for the first channels.
Support sharing of the std interrupts (says peter :) )
Dont use READ_CD on normal data reads (2048 bytes), too many old drives
doesn't support this command even if the std says "shall" :(, but still
use READ_CD on all other blocksizes.
Add the geometry to the ad probe, its still usefull.
Dont be so verbose in the probe, only ONE line printed now, to get more
info boot verbose. Centralise most printf's in ata-all & ata-dma to use
the ata_printf function, it saves alot of codelines.
Repeat the identify command if drive fails the first.
Protect the timeout functions with splbio.
Dont update the transfer details before we are sure the transfer
succeded, this way they are proberly retried on errors.
Move the handling of next_writeable to userland.
Use the READ_CD command to read CD's. That enables us to read _anything_
via the normal read/write interface. This kindof obsoletes the READAUDIO
ioctl, but we keep that for now.
correctly on both master and slave.
Smash together the ata_params & atapi_params structures as they
are more or less equal anyways.
Get rid of the last SYSINIT's in here.
Prober support for the VIA 82C686, I finally got the right datasheet.
Get rid of atapi_wait, merge it into ata_wait.
Avoid a couple of races by using asleep instead of tsleep.
Always use 16bit transfers on ISA systems.
Clear up the atapi_read/write functions.
main component in the southbridge chip to determine which VIA chip
we are dealing with.
Try to enable DMA on generic controllers that say they has the
capability, instead of relying on the BIOS to have set it up.
Try to use a 32bit mask on the IO addresses, this fixes the alpha
and hopefully doesn't break on any i386 machines.
Try to enable both read & write cache on disks, they should be as
default, but better be sure..
Fix a bug which could cause panics in ad/atapi-interrupt.
Add support for UDMA66 on Promise Ultra/Fasttrak controllers.
Get rid of ATA_IGNORE_INTR, and introduce ATA_WAIT_INTR instead.
Add a delay in the dump routine in ata-disk.c, some controllers
seem to need this. Also dont use the timeout watchdog when dumping.
Disable DMA on ATAPI devices as default, add option ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA
for those that has HW that works.
Add support for some not-up-to-spec ATAPI devices that returns data
together with completition status on data moving cmd's.
their HotRod controller and on SIIG PCI ultra DMA controller. These
changes also made lots of the Promise code go away, its all much more
generic this way.
Get rid of atapi_immed_cmd, instead use the queue to move atapi commands
from interrupt context if nessesary, the entire atapi layer has
gotten an overhaul.
Lots of fixes to utililize the new features in subr_disk.c etc, and
get rid of the last biots of softc arrays in the drivers, the
only one left is atadevices which cannot easily go away (yet).
Use our own malloc names, its a lot easier to track memory usage this way.
General cleanup overall.
It been awhile since the last major update, as a benefit there
are some cool things in this one (and new bugs probably :) )...
The ATA driver has grown "real" timeout support for all devices.
This means that it should be possible to get in contact with
(especially) lost ATAPI devices. It also means that the ATA
driver is now usable on notebooks as it will DTRT on resume.
An experimental hack at utilizing the Promise66's at UDMA66 is
in there, but I cant test it. If someone feels like sending
me one, give me a ping.
The ATAPI DMA enableling scheme has been changed, also better DMA
support for the Aladdin chipset has been implemented for ATAPI
devices. Note that the Aladdin apparently only can do DMA reads
on ATAPI devices, and the Promise cant do ATAPI DMA at all.
I have seen problems on some ATAPI devices that should be able
to run in DMA mode, so if you encounter problems with hanging
atapi devices during the probe, or during access, disable DMA
in atapi-all.c, and let me know. It might be nessesary to do this
via a "white list" for known good devices...
The ATAPI CDROM driver can now use eject/close without hanging and
the bug that caused reading beyond the end of a CD has been fixed.
Media change is also handled proberly. DVD drives are identified
and are usable as CDROM devices at least, I dont have the HW to
test this further, see above :).
The ATAPI tape driver has gotten some support for using the DSC
method for not blocking the IDE channel during read/write when
the device has full buffers. It knows about the OnStream DI-30
device, support is not completed yet, but it can function as a
primitive backup medium, without filemarks, and without bad media
handeling. This is because the OnStream device doesn't handle this
(like everybody else) in HW. It also now supports getting/setting
the record position on devices that supports it.
Some rather major cleanups and rearrangements as well (cvs -b diff
is your freind). I'm closing in on declaring this for beta code,
most of the infrastruture is in place by now.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still alpha level code.
This driver can hose your disk real bad if anything goes wrong, but
now you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts,
it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors,
to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a
little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as much feedback on
errors as possible, especially timeouts, as I'm a bit in doubt if
I've chosen resonable default values everywhere.
The disk driver has been changed a bit to prepare for tagged queing,
which is next on my list.
The disk driver has grown a dump routine, I got one implementation
from Darrell Anderson <anderson@cs.duke.edu> which also did
partial dumps (usefull on big memory machines) I left out the
partial stuff for now, and changed the rest alot to fit into the new
ad_request framework.
Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!
-Søren
reports on those most welcome!
Fixed problems:
Hang on probe on "fantom" devices.
The probe now use a timeout to avoid hangs if no interrupt
is recevied.
There has also been more general code clenaups, and some reorgs.
interrupts are enabled, this kills the last "unwanted interrupts"
(and there is no ugly hacks like in the old driver to avoid them).
COmmand interrupt devices are now supported, this applies mostly
to older CDROM's and apparently also the ZIP.
Fixed problems:
Number of total sectors wrong on some older drives.
Fixed by not using the LBA size unless we know its valid.
There has also been more general code clenaups, some reorgs also.
