protect the registers so it was trivially possible for a sync command and
i/o command to fight each other and confuse the controller. Make the
sync fib alloc/release functions inline and remove the somewhat worthless
AAC_SYNC_LOCK_FORCE flag. Thanks to Adil Katchi for helping me to track
this down in RELENG_4.
every iteration of aac_startio(). This ensures that a command that is
deferred for lack of resources doesn't immediately get retried in the
aac_startio() loop. This avoids an almost certain livelock.
only done minimal testing on one of these cards and the firmware folks
have been extremely uncooperative in answering my qeustions about them, so
hopefully they will work ok for everyone.
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
on the card, unmap it first. This allows it to be picked up properly when
the queue gets kicked again. This was the root problem for the lost command
(i.e. stuck in getblk/vinvalb) problem. While here, panic if commands don't
map correctly instead of just silently ignoring the problem and dropping
command. Also slow down the dynamic allocation of new commands.
It should be safe to go back into the aac waters. Thanks to everyone who
suffered through this and provided good feedback.
handling of resources shortages. The driver is now so fast that it can
completely fill all 512 slots on the card, but for some reason only 511
slots are being allocated. Anything that tries to go into the 512th
slot gets silently lost. Both bugs need to be fixed at a later date,
but this should fix the reports of hangs in getblk and vinvalb.
edge cases in the loop.
- Try to grab a command before dequeueing the bio from the bioq. The old
behaviour of requeuing deferred bios to the end of the bioq is arguably
wrong. This should be fixed in the future to check the bioq head without
automatically dequeueing the bio.
interrupt handler so that no locks are needed, and schedules the
command completion routine with a taskqueue_fast. This also corrects the
locking in the command thread and removes the need for operation flags.
Simple load tests show that this is now considerably faster than FreeBSD 4.x
in the SMP case when multiple i/o tasks are running.
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().
- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.
- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.
Not objected in: -arch, -current
- Correct the logic for the AIF array index pointers so that correct slot is
always looked at.
- Copy the full FIB payload size when copying AIF's, not just the first 64
bytes.
Thanks to Mirapoint, Inc, for pointing these problems out and offering a
solution.
a problem for command responses since we rarely ever filled the queue.
However, adapter-initiated commands have a much smaller queue and could
tickle this bug. It's possible that this might fix the recently reported
problems with the aac-2120s, though I haven't been able to reproduce the
problem locally.
MFC-After: 1 day
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

- Mark that it cannot handle greater than 4GB of RAM at this time. Fixing
that will come later. Fail any attempts to dump above thati limit.
- If a call to aac_disk_dump() needs to be split into multiple i/o's,
increment the virtual offset after each i/o instead of just dumping the
same offset over and over again.
- Bail out if bus_dmamap_load() returns an error. Error recovery is likely
not possible.
