aic7xxx_reg.h:
Update my copyright.
Fix support for the aic7850 by looking only at the relavent bits of the
QINCNT. The 7850 puts random garbage in the high bits and all my attempts
to determine the cause of this failed. This approach does seem to work
around the problem.
Don't trust SCSIPERR to tell us when there is a parity error. On
some revs of the 7870 and the 7880, this bit follows the parity of
the current byte. Instead of using a SEQINT to tell the kernel,
re-enable the standard parity error interrupt since it seems to pause
the sequencer right at the time of the error which is the effect we were
looking for anyway.
aic7xxx_reg.h:
Remove PARITY_ERROR seqeuncer interrupt type, its no longer used.
Define QCOUNTMASK as the SRAM location for the mask to use on the

Pause the sequencer when a parity error occurs so that the kernel driver

Add the same type of safeguards we use in the mesg_in phase to the mesg_out

aic7xxx_reg.h:
Add definitions for the DSCommand register for PCI adapters.
1) Use cpp to preprocess the sequencer code.
2) Convert all "magic numbers" to #defines shared by the sequencer and
kernel driver via the aic7xxx_reg.h file. (The assembler still needs
to be re-written in lex/yacc to allow ~|& type constructions).
3) Raise ATN on parity errors for "in" phases and send an initiator detected
error or message-in parity error message as appropriate.
4) Turn off the reselection hardware from the time or a (re)connection to
busfree. It seems that some fast targets were able to reconnect before
the sequencer was able to see busfree.
5) The message buffer is considered "in-use" when there is a positive length
count. The ACTIVE_MSG flag was unnecesary.
6) Properly set SCB_NEXT_WAITING to SCB_LIST_HEAD in scbs being added to
the waiting scb list. This is a change in how the list code works to
facilitate some planned work in the reset code.
7) The fields in the SCB have be re-arranged to be quad-word aligned.
8) The inb code has been rewritten to catch phasemisses and be more efficient.
9) Go back to "snooping the bus" to determine if the incomming identify
message will be followed by a simple queue message. Its much faster than
doing a search through the SCBs.
10) Implement better tag range checking for incomming tags.
11) Make sdtr_to_rate more accurate (use 25 instead of 24 in calculations -
must have been asleep that night).
12) Rearrange some routines to reduce code complexity and size.
13) Update comments and formatting.
14) Fixed bugs I've forgotten about??

Be more careful in how we deal with SXFRCTL0. Or in the control bits of

bit of SXFRCTL0 if we are using Ultra (20MHz) mode and we don't want to
clobber it.
In sdtr_to_rate divide by two if we are in ultra mode to get the correct

to replace the very poor, original implementation of Scatter/Gather operations.
Use a bit (that was freed up with the rewrite above) in the SCB control byte
to designate commands that should allow disconnection. The kernel driver
makes this decision now instead of the sequencer since the sequencer can't
do the indexing very efficiently.
This commit drops the sequencer from 426 instructions to 390 most likely
freeing enough space to do a target mode implementation.
The first could occur because the original code would continue to reset
the SCSIID register while waiting for a selection. This could potentially
conflict with a reconnect since a successfull reconnect will also set the
SCSIID register. The fix is to use a separate wait loop after starting
a selection (as was done a few revisions ago).
The second probably never happens, but it was possible for a target to
reconnect while there was a pending SCB on the waiting list and not get
noticed. The fix was to remove a supurflous check of the scb waiting
list.

Have tagged commands look to see if a target is "busy" with a non tagged
command before executing. This prevents overlapped tagged and non tagged
commands which can happen since request sense commands are not tagged.
1) If a target initiated a sync negotiation with us and happened to chose a
value above 15, the old code inadvertantly truncated it with an "& 0x0f".
If the periferal picked something really bad like 0x32, you'd end up with
an offset of 2 which would hang the drive since it didn't expect to ever
get something so low. We now do a MIN(maxoffset, given_offset).
2) In the case of Wide cards, we were turning on sync transfers after a
sucessfull wide negotiation. Now we leave the offset alone in the per
target scratch space (which implies asyncronous transfers since we initialize
it that way) until a syncronous negotation occurs.
3) We were advertizing a max offset of 15 instead of 8 for wide devices.
4) If the upper level SCSI code sent down a "SCSI_RESET", it would hang the
system because we would end up sending a null command to the sequencer. Now
we handle SCSI_RESET correctly by having the sequencer interrupt us when it
is about to fill the message buffer so that we can fill it in ourselves.
The sequencer will also "simulate" a command complete for these "message only"
SCBs so that the kernel driver can finish up properly. The cdplay utility
will send a "SCSI_REST" to the cdplayer if you use the reset command.
5) The code that handles SCSIINTs was broken in that if more than one type
of error was true at once, we'd do outbs without the card being paused.
The else clause after the busfree case was also an accident waiting to
happen. I've now turned this into an if, else if, else type of thing, since
in most cases when we handle one type of error, it should be okay to ignore
the rest (ie if we have a SELTO, who cares if there was a parity error on
the transaction?), but the section should really be rewritten after 2.0.5.
This fix was the least obtrusive way to patch the problem.
6) Only tag either SDTR or WDTR negotiation on an SCB. The real problem is
that I don't account for the case when an SCB that is tagged to do a particular
type of negotiation completes or SELTOs (selection timeout) without the
negotiation taking place, so the accounting of sdtrpending and wdtrpending
gets screwed up. In the wide case, if we tag it to do both wdtr and sdtr,
it only performs wdtr (since wdtr must occur first and we spread out the
negotiation over two commands) so we always have sdtrpending set for that
target and we never do a real SDTR. I fill properly fix the accounting
after 2.0.5 goes out the door, but this works (as confirmed by Dan) on
wide targets.
Other stuff that is also included:
1) Don't do a bzero when recycling SCBs. The only thing that must explicitly
be set to zero is the scb control byte which is done in ahc_get_scb. We also
need to set the SG_list_pointer and SG_list_count to 0 for commands that do
not transfer data.
2) Mask the interrupt type printout for the aic7870 case. The bit we were
using to determine interrupt type is only valid for the aic7770.

the adapter's selections. Many fast periferals were getting upset when
the sequencer decided to rearbitrate after the device had already won
arbitration. This also forced the creation of a list threaded through
the SCBs (since we don't have enough space anywhere else) of commands that
are awaiting reselection. This list is run down before any new transactions
from the input queue are allowed. The list is appened to whenever we begin
a selection (simple case since the selecting device is always at the head)
and by the kernel driver whenever a request sense occurs. In the common
case, the list is only one element long, but when a reselection wins out
over a selection and that reselection generates a request sense, the
outstanding selection required for the retreval of the sense code grows
the list. On machines with many targets, this might cause the list to grow
large, so this solution, which will allow up to the maximum number of I/O
requests capible of the card elements in the list, was chosen. The list
manipulation is trivial and adds three sequencer instructions of overhead
to the selection phase.
This fixes the "target busy" errors from micropolis drives and the bursty
I/O problem when performing I/O between a Quantum Grand Prix and any other
device. I anticipate that this will correct many of the problems that
have been reported with this driver.

Remove unnecessary check for active messages in setup SCB. This same test
would also jump to p_mesgin_done which would "ACK" an extra time possibly
confusing the target.
Tell the kernel driver whenever we send an ABORT_TAG message.
- Report valid residual byte counts. We actually pause the sequencer
when the residual is non-zero. I thought about using DMA to do this,
bus sequencer program space is tight.
- Fix embarassing off by one error in the computation of a 2's
compliment variable. This was most likely the cause of the
many problems reported with the tagged queuing code.
- Handle "MAX_SYNC" as a special case (ie we are the ones starting
the sync negotiation sequence). This was done so that the target
scratch area can be initialed to 0 offset (asyncronous transfers)
safely. The initialization to 0 (was 15) is necessary since in
some cases a Wide negotiation could run into problems if SCSIRATE
was set wrong and we went into data(in/out).
- Trim the DMA routines a little by using some procedures. Net
effect is more functionality with 3 less instructions after this
update.
- Toggle the WIDEODD bit of the DFCNTRL whenever this is not the
last SG block. It has no effect in the 8bit bus configuration,
but in the Wide configuration ensures that the overlap byte is
held in the SCSI block if the transfer is odd so it will end
up in the next SG (the correct behavior).

a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.
Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in

I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have
