camdd(8) utility.
CCBs may be queued to the driver via the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl, and
completed CCBs may be retrieved via the CAMIOGET ioctl. User
processes can use poll(2) or kevent(2) to get notification when
I/O has completed.
While the existing CAMIOCOMMAND blocking ioctl interface only
supports user virtual data pointers in a CCB (generally only
one per CCB), the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl supports user virtual and
physical address pointers, as well as user virtual and physical
scatter/gather lists. This allows user applications to have more
flexibility in their data handling operations.
Kernel memory for data transferred via the queued interface is
allocated from the zone allocator in MAXPHYS sized chunks, and user
data is copied in and out. This is likely faster than the
vmapbuf()/vunmapbuf() method used by the CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl in
configurations with many processors (there are more TLB shootdowns
caused by the mapping/unmapping operation) but may not be as fast
as running with unmapped I/O.
The new memory handling model for user requests also allows
applications to send CCBs with request sizes that are larger than
MAXPHYS. The pass(4) driver now limits queued requests to the I/O
size listed by the SIM driver in the maxio field in the Path
Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB.
There are some things things would be good to add:
1. Come up with a way to do unmapped I/O on multiple buffers.
Currently the unmapped I/O interface operates on a struct bio,
which includes only one address and length. It would be nice
to be able to send an unmapped scatter/gather list down to
busdma. This would allow eliminating the copy we currently do
for data.
2. Add an ioctl to list currently outstanding CCBs in the various
queues.
3. Add an ioctl to cancel a request, or use the XPT_ABORT CCB to do
that.
4. Test physical address support. Virtual pointers and scatter
gather lists have been tested, but I have not yet tested
physical addresses or scatter/gather lists.
5. Investigate multiple queue support. At the moment there is one
queue of commands per pass(4) device. If multiple processes
open the device, they will submit I/O into the same queue and
get events for the same completions. This is probably the right
model for most applications, but it is something that could be
changed later on.
Also, add a new utility, camdd(8) that uses the asynchronous pass(4)
driver interface.
This utility is intended to be a basic data transfer/copy utility,
a simple benchmark utility, and an example of how to use the
asynchronous pass(4) interface.
It can copy data to and from pass(4) devices using any target queue
depth, starting offset and blocksize for the input and ouptut devices.
It currently only supports SCSI devices, but could be easily extended
to support ATA devices.
It can also copy data to and from regular files, block devices, tape
devices, pipes, stdin, and stdout. It does not support queueing
multiple commands to any of those targets, since it uses the standard
read(2)/write(2)/writev(2)/readv(2) system calls.
The I/O is done by two threads, one for the reader and one for the
writer. The reader thread sends completed read requests to the
writer thread in strictly sequential order, even if they complete
out of order. That could be modified later on for random I/O patterns
or slightly out of order I/O.
camdd(8) uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) to get I/O completion events from
the pass(4) driver and also to send request notifications internally.
For pass(4) devcies, camdd(8) uses a single buffer (CAM_DATA_VADDR)
per CAM CCB on the reading side, and a scatter/gather list
(CAM_DATA_SG) on the writing side. In addition to testing both
interfaces, this makes any potential reblocking of I/O easier. No
data is copied between the reader and the writer, but rather the
reader's buffers are split into multiple I/O requests or combined
into a single I/O request depending on the input and output blocksize.
For the file I/O path, camdd(8) also uses a single buffer (read(2),
write(2), pread(2) or pwrite(2)) on reads, and a scatter/gather list
(readv(2), writev(2), preadv(2), pwritev(2)) on writes.
Things that would be nice to do for camdd(8) eventually:
1. Add support for I/O pattern generation. Patterns like all
zeros, all ones, LBA-based patterns, random patterns, etc. Right
Now you can always use /dev/zero, /dev/random, etc.
2. Add support for a "sink" mode, so we do only reads with no
writes. Right now, you can use /dev/null.
3. Add support for automatic queue depth probing, so that we can
figure out the right queue depth on the input and output side
for maximum throughput. At the moment it defaults to 6.
4. Add support for SATA device passthrough I/O.
5. Add support for random LBAs and/or lengths on the input and
output sides.
6. Track average per-I/O latency and busy time. The busy time
and latency could also feed in to the automatic queue depth
determination.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.h:
Define two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET, that queue
and fetch asynchronous CAM CCBs respectively.
Although these ioctls do not have a declared argument, they
both take a union ccb pointer. If we declare a size here,
the ioctl code in sys/kern/sys_generic.c will malloc and free
a buffer for either the CCB or the CCB pointer (depending on
how it is declared). Since we have to keep a copy of the
CCB (which is fairly large) anyway, having the ioctl malloc
and free a CCB for each call is wasteful.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.c:
Add asynchronous CCB support.
Add two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET.
CAMIOQUEUE adds a CCB to the incoming queue. The CCB is
executed immediately (and moved to the active queue) if it
is an immediate CCB, but otherwise it will be executed
in passstart() when a CCB is available from the transport layer.
When CCBs are completed (because they are immediate or
passdone() if they are queued), they are put on the done
queue.
If we get the final close on the device before all pending
I/O is complete, all active I/O is moved to the abandoned
queue and we increment the peripheral reference count so
that the peripheral driver instance doesn't go away before
all pending I/O is done.
The new passcreatezone() function is called on the first
call to the CAMIOQUEUE ioctl on a given device to allocate
the UMA zones for I/O requests and S/G list buffers. This
may be good to move off to a taskqueue at some point.
The new passmemsetup() function allocates memory and
scatter/gather lists to hold the user's data, and copies
in any data that needs to be written. For virtual pointers
(CAM_DATA_VADDR), the kernel buffer is malloced from the
new pass(4) driver malloc bucket. For virtual
scatter/gather lists (CAM_DATA_SG), buffers are allocated
from a new per-pass(9) UMA zone in MAXPHYS-sized chunks.
Physical pointers are passed in unchanged. We have support
for up to 16 scatter/gather segments (for the user and
kernel S/G lists) in the default struct pass_io_req, so
requests with longer S/G lists require an extra kernel malloc.
The new passcopysglist() function copies a user scatter/gather
list to a kernel scatter/gather list. The number of elements
in each list may be different, but (obviously) the amount of data
stored has to be identical.
The new passmemdone() function copies data out for the
CAM_DATA_VADDR and CAM_DATA_SG cases.
The new passiocleanup() function restores data pointers in
user CCBs and frees memory.
Add new functions to support kqueue(2)/kevent(2):
passreadfilt() tells kevent whether or not the done
queue is empty.
passkqfilter() adds a knote to our list.
passreadfiltdetach() removes a knote from our list.
Add a new function, passpoll(), for poll(2)/select(2)
to use.
Add devstat(9) support for the queued CCB path.

sys/geom/geom_disk.c:

limiting code in g_disk_start() a bit.
sys/kern/subr_bus_dma.c:
Change _bus_dmamap_load_vlist() to take a starting offset and
length.
Add a new function, _bus_dmamap_load_pages(), that will load a list
of physical pages starting at an offset.
Update _bus_dmamap_load_bio() to allow loading BIO_VLIST bios.
Allow unmapped I/O to start at an offset.
sys/kern/subr_uio.c:

The significant changes and bugs fixed here are:
1. Fixed a bug in the progress display code:
When the user's filename is too big, or his terminal width is too
small, the progress code could wind up using a negative number for
the length of the "stars" that it uses to indicate progress.
This negative value was assigned to an unsigned variable, resulting
in a very large positive value.
The result is that we wound up writing garbage from memory to the
user's terminal.
With an 80 column terminal, a file name length of more than 35
characters would generate this problem.
To address this, we now set a minimum progress bar length, and
truncate the user's file name as needed.
This has been tested with large filenames and small terminals, and
at least produces reasonable results. If the terminal is too
narrow, the progress display takes up an additional line with each
update, but this is more user friendly than writing garbage to the
tty.
2. SATA drives connected via a SATA controller didn't have SCSI Inquiry
data populated in struct cam_device. This meant that the code in
fw_get_vendor() in fwdownload.c would try to match a zero-length
vendor ID, and so return the first entry in the vendor table. (Which
used to be HITACHI.) Fixed by grabbing identify data, passing the
identify buffer into fw_get_vendor(), and matching against the model
name.
3. SATA drives connected via a SAS controller do have Inquiry data
populated. The table included a couple of entries -- "ATA ST" and
"ATA HDS", intended to handle Seagate and Hitachi SATA drives attached
via a SAS controller. SCSI to ATA translation layers use a vendor
ID of "ATA" (which is standard), and then the model name from the ATA
identify data as the SCSI product name when they are returning data on
SATA disks. The cam_strmatch code will match the first part of the
string (because the length it is given is the length of the vendor,
"ATA"), and return 0 (i.e. a match). So all SATA drives attached to
a SAS controller would be programmed using the Seagate method
(WRITE BUFFER mode 7) of SCSI firmware downloading.
4. Issue #2 above covered up a bug in fw_download_img() -- if the
maximum packet size in the vendor table was 0, it tried to default
to a packet size of 32K. But then it didn't actually succeed in
doing that, because it set the packet size to the value that was
in the vendor table (0). Now that we actually have ATA attached
drives fall use the VENDOR_ATA case, we need a reasonable default
packet size. So this is fixed to properly set the default packet size.
5. Add support for downloading firmware to IBM LTO drives, and add a
firmware file validation method to make sure that the firmware
file matches the drive type. IBM tape drives include a Load ID and
RU name in their vendor-specific VPD page 0x3. Those should match
the IDs in the header of the firmware file to insure that the
proper firmware file is loaded.
6. This also adds a new -q option to the camcontrol fwdownload
subcommand to suppress informational output. When -q is used in
combination with -y, the firmware upgrade will happen without
prompting and without output except if an error condition occurs.
7. Re-add support for printing out SCSI inquiry information when
asking the user to confirm that they want to download firmware, and
add printing of ATA Identify data if it is a SATA disk. This was
removed in r237281 when support for flashing ATA disks was added.
8. Add a new camcontrol(8) "opcodes" subcommand, and use the
underlying code to get recommended timeout values for drive
firmware downloads.
Many SCSI devices support the REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES
command, and some support the optional timeout descriptor that
specifies nominal and recommended timeouts for the commands
supported by the device.
The new camcontrol opcodes subcommand allows displaying all
opcodes supported by a drive, information about which fields
in a SCSI CDB are actually used by a given SCSI device, and the
nominal and recommended timeout values for each command.
Since firmware downloads can take a long time in some devices, and
the time varies greatly between different types of devices, take
advantage of the infrastructure used by the camcontrol opcodes
subcommand to determine the best timeout to use for the WRITE
BUFFER command in SCSI device firmware downloads.
If the device recommends a timeout, it is likely to be more
accurate than the default 50 second timeout used by the firmware
download code. If the user specifies a timeout, it will override
the default or device recommended timeout. If the device doesn't
support timeout descriptors, we fall back to the default.
9. Instead of downloading firmware to SATA drives behind a SAS controller
using WRITE BUFFER, use the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command to compose
an ATA DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command and it to the drive. The previous
version of this code attempted to send a SCSI WRITE BUFFER command to
SATA drives behind a SAS controller. Although that is part of the
SAT-3 spec, it doesn't work with the parameters used with LSI
controllers at least.
10.Add a new mechanism for making common ATA passthrough and
ATA-behind-SCSI passthrough commands.
The existing camcontrol(8) ATA command mechanism checks the device
type on every command executed. That works fine for individual
commands, but is cumbersome for things like a firmware download
that send a number of commands.
The fwdownload code detects the device type up front, and then
sends the appropriate commands.
11.In simulation mode (-s), if the user specifies the -v flag, print out
the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would be sent to the drive. This will
aid in debugging any firmware download issues.
sbin/camcontrol/fwdownload.c:
Add a device type to the fw_vendor structure, so that we can
specify different download methods for different devices from the
same vendor. In this case, IBM hard drives (from when they
still made hard drives) and tape drives.
Add a tur_status field to the fw_vendor structure so that we can
specify whether the drive to be upgraded should be ready, not
ready, or whether it doesn't matter. Add the corresponding
capability in fw_download_img().
Add comments describing each of the vendor table fields.
Add HGST and SmrtStor to the supported SCSI vendors list.
In fw_get_vendor(), look at ATA identify data if we have a SATA
device to try to identify what the drive vendor is.
Add IBM firmware file validation. This gets VPD page 0x3, and
compares the Load ID and RU name in the page to the values
included in the header. The validation code will refuse to load
a firmware file if the values don't match. This does allow the
user to attempt a downgrade; whether or not it succeeds will
likely depend on the drive settings.
Add a -q option, and disable all informative output
(progress bars, etc.) when this is enabled.
Re-add the inquiry in the confirmation dialog so the user has
a better idea of which device he is talking to. Add support for
displaying ATA identify data.
Don't automatically disable confirmation in simulation (-s) mode.
This allows the user to see the inquiry or identify data in the
dialog, and see exactly what they would see when the command
actually runs. Also, in simulation mode, if the user specifies
the -v flag, print out the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would
be sent to the drive. This will aid in debugging any firmware
download issues.
Add a timeout field and timeout type to the firmware download
vendor table. This allows specifying a default timeout and allows
specifying whether we should attempt to probe for a recommended
timeout from the drive.
Add a new fuction, fw_get_timeout(), that will determine
which timeout to use for the WRITE BUFFER command. If the
user specifies a timeout, we always use that. Otherwise,
we will use the drive recommended timeout, if available,
and fall back to the default when a drive recommended
timeout isn't available.
When we prompt the user, tell him what timeout we're going
to use, and the source of the timeout.
Revamp the way SATA devices are handled.
In fwdownload(), use the new get_device_type() function to
determine what kind of device we're talking to.
Allow firmware downloads to any SATA device, but restrict
SCSI downloads to known devices. (The latter is not a
change in behavior.)
Break out the "ready" check from fw_download_img() into a
new subfunction, fw_check_device_ready(). This sends the
appropriate command to the device in question -- a TEST
UNIT READY or an IDENTIFY. The IDENTIFY for SATA devices
a SAT layer is done using the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH
command.
Use the new build_ata_cmd() function to build either a SCSI or
ATA I/O CCB to issue the DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command to SATA
devices. build_ata_cmd() figures looks at the devtype argument
and fills in the correct CCB type and CDB or ATA registers.
Revamp the vendor table to remove the previous
vendor-specific ATA entries and use a generic ATA vendor
placeholder. We currently use the same method for all ATA
drives, although we may have to add vendor-specific
behavior once we test this with more drives.
sbin/camcontrol/progress.c:
In progress_draw(), make barlength a signed value so that
we can easily detect a negative value.
If barlength (the length of the progress bar) would wind up
negative due to a small TTY width or a large filename,
set the bar length to the new minimum (10 stars) and
truncate the user's filename. We will truncate it down to
0 characters if necessary.
Calculate a new prefix_len variable (user's filename length)
and use it as the precision when printing the filename.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Implement a new camcontrol(8) subcommand, "opcodes". The
opcodes subcommand allows displaying the entire list of
SCSI commands supported by a device, or details on an
individual command. In either case, it can display
nominal and recommended timeout values.
Add the scsiopcodes() function, which calls the new
scsigetopcodes() function to fetch opcode data from a
drive.
Add two new functions, scsiprintoneopcode() and
scsiprintopcodes(), which print information about one
opcode or all opcodes, respectively.
Remove the get_disk_type() function. It is no longer used.
Add a new function, dev_has_vpd_page(), that fetches the
supported INQUIRY VPD list from a device and tells the
caller whether the requested VPD page is available.
Add a new function, get_device_type(), that returns a more
precise device type than the old get_disk_type() function.
The get_disk_type() function only distinguished between
SCSI and ATA devices, and SATA devices behind a SCSI to ATA
translation layer were considered to be "SCSI".
get_device_type() offers a third type, CC_DT_ATA_BEHIND_SCSI.
We need to know this to know whether to attempt to send ATA
passthrough commands. If the device has the ATA
Information VPD page (0x89), then it is an ATA device
behind a SCSI to ATA translation layer.
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.
Add a new function, build_ata_cmd(), that will take one set
of common arguments and build either a SCSI or ATA I/O CCB,
depending on the device type passed in.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Add a prototype for scsigetopcodes().
Add a new enumeration, camcontrol_devtype.
Add prototypes for dev_has_vpd_page(), get_device_type()
and build_ata_cmd().
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.

recommended timeout if available, and that the user can
override the timeout.

subcommand will print out the SCSI CDBs or ATA registers that would

implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.
We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently

currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.

The primary focus of these changes is to modernize FreeBSD's
tape infrastructure so that we can take advantage of some of the
features of modern tape drives and allow support for LTFS.
Significant changes and new features include:
o sa(4) driver status and parameter information is now exported via an
XML structure. This will allow for changes and improvements later
on that will not break userland applications. The old MTIOCGET
status ioctl remains, so applications using the existing interface
will not break.
o 'mt status' now reports drive-reported tape position information
as well as the previously available calculated tape position
information. These numbers will be different at times, because
the drive-reported block numbers are relative to BOP (Beginning
of Partition), but the block numbers calculated previously via
sa(4) (and still provided) are relative to the last filemark.
Both numbers are now provided. 'mt status' now also shows the
drive INQUIRY information, serial number and any position flags
(BOP, EOT, etc.) provided with the tape position information.
'mt status -v' adds information on the maximum possible I/O size,
and the underlying values used to calculate it.
o The extra sa(4) /dev entries (/dev/saN.[0-3]) have been removed.
The extra devices were originally added as place holders for
density-specific device nodes. Some OSes (NetBSD, NetApp's OnTap
and Solaris) have had device nodes that, when you write to them,
will automatically select a given density for particular tape drives.
This is a convenient way of switching densities, but it was never
implemented in FreeBSD. Only the device nodes were there, and that
sometimes confused users.
For modern tape devices, the density is generally not selectable
(e.g. with LTO) or defaults to the highest availble density when
the tape is rewritten from BOT (e.g. TS11X0). So, for most users,
density selection won't be necessary. If they do need to select
the density, it is easy enough to use 'mt density' to change it.
o Protection information is now supported. This is either a
Reed-Solomon CRC or CRC32 that is included at the end of each block
read and written. On write, the tape drive verifies the CRC, and
on read, the tape drive provides a CRC for the userland application
to verify.
o New, extensible tape driver parameter get/set interface.
o Density reporting information. For drives that support it,
'mt getdensity' will show detailed information on what formats the
tape drive supports, and what formats the tape drive supports.
o Some mt(1) functionality moved into a new mt(3) library so that
external applications can reuse the code.
o The new mt(3) library includes helper routines to aid in parsing
the XML output of the sa(4) driver, and build a tree of driver
metadata.
o Support for the MTLOAD (load a tape in the drive) and MTWEOFI
(write filemark immediate) ioctls needed by IBM's LTFS
implementation.
o Improve device departure behavior for the sa(4) driver. The previous
implementation led to hangs when the device was open.
o This has been tested on the following types of drives:
IBM TS1150
IBM TS1140
IBM LTO-6
IBM LTO-5
HP LTO-2
Seagate DDS-4
Quantum DLT-4000

Many tape driver changes, largely outlined above.
Increase the sa(4) driver read/write timeout from 4 to 32
minutes. This is based on the recommended values for IBM LTO
5/6 drives. This may also avoid timeouts for other tape
hardware that can take a long time to do retries and error
recovery. Longer term, a better way to handle this is to ask
the drive for recommended timeout values using the REPORT
SUPPORTED OPCODES command. Modern IBM and Oracle tape drives
at least support that command, and it would allow for more
accurate timeout values.
Add XML status generation. This is done with a series of
macros to eliminate as much duplicate code as possible. The
new XML-based status values are reported through the new
MTIOCEXTGET ioctl.
Add XML driver parameter reporting, using the new MTIOCPARAMGET
ioctl.
Add a new driver parameter setting interface, using the new
MTIOCPARAMSET and MTIOCSETLIST ioctls.
Add a new MTIOCRBLIM ioctl to get block limits information.
Add CCB/CDB building routines scsi_locate_16, scsi_locate_10,
and scsi_read_position_10().
scsi_locate_10 implements the LOCATE command, as does the
existing scsi_set_position() command. It just supports
additional arguments and features. If/when we figure out a
good way to provide backward compatibility for older
applications using the old function API, we can just revamp
scsi_set_position(). The same goes for
scsi_read_position_10() and the existing scsi_read_position()
function.
Revamp sasetpos() to take the new mtlocate structure as an
argument. It now will use either scsi_locate_10() or
scsi_locate_16(), depending upon the arguments the user
supplies. As before, once we change position we don't have a
clear idea of what the current logical position of the tape
drive is.
For tape drives that support long form position data, we
read the current position and store that for later reporting
after changing the position. This should help applications
like Bacula speed tape access under FreeBSD once they are
modified to support the new ioctls.
Add a new quirk, SA_QUIRK_NO_LONG_POS, that is set for all
drives that report SCSI-2 or older, as well as drives that
report an Illegal Request type error for READ POSITION with
the long format. So we should automatically detect drives
that don't support the long form and stop asking for it after
an initial try.
Add a partition number to the sa(4) softc.
Improve device departure handling. The previous implementation
led to hangs when the device was open.
If an application had the sa(4) driver open, and attempted to
close it after it went away, the cam_periph_release() call in
saclose() would cause the periph to get destroyed because that
was the last reference to it. Because destroy_dev() was
called from the sa(4) driver's cleanup routine (sacleanup()),
and would block waiting for the close to happen, a deadlock
would result.
So instead of calling destroy_dev() from the cleanup routine,
call destroy_dev_sched_cb() from saoninvalidate() and wait for
the callback.
Acquire a reference for devfs in saregister(), and release it
in the new sadevgonecb() routine when all devfs devices for
the particular sa(4) driver instance are gone.
Add a new function, sasetupdev(), to centralize setting
per-instance devfs device parameters instead of repeating the
code in saregister().
Add an open count to the softc, so we know how many
peripheral driver references are a result of open
sessions.
Add the D_TRACKCLOSE flag to the cdevsw flags so
that we get a 1:1 mapping of open to close calls
instead of a N:1 mapping.
This should be a no-op for everything except the
control device, since we don't allow more than one
open on non-control devices.
However, since we do allow multiple opens on the
control device, the combination of the open count
and the D_TRACKCLOSE flag should result in an
accurate peripheral driver reference count, and an
accurate open count.
The accurate open count allows us to release all
peripheral driver references that are the result
of open contexts once we get the callback from devfs.
sys/sys/mtio.h:
Add a number of new mt(4) ioctls and the requisite data
structures. None of the existing interfaces been removed
or changed.
This includes definitions for the following new ioctls:
MTIOCRBLIM /* get block limits */
MTIOCEXTLOCATE /* seek to position */
MTIOCEXTGET /* get tape status */
MTIOCPARAMGET /* get tape params */
MTIOCPARAMSET /* set tape params */
MTIOCSETLIST /* set N params */
usr.bin/mt/Makefile:
mt(1) now depends on libmt, libsbuf and libbsdxml.
usr.bin/mt/mt.1:
Document new mt(1) features and subcommands.
usr.bin/mt/mt.c:
Implement support for mt(1) subcommands that need to
use getopt(3) for their arguments.
Implement a new 'mt status' command to replace the old
'mt status' command. The old status command has been
renamed 'ostatus'.
The new status function uses the MTIOCEXTGET ioctl, and
therefore parses the XML data to determine drive status.
The -x argument to 'mt status' allows the user to dump out
the raw XML reported by the kernel.
The new status display is mostly the same as the old status
display, except that it doesn't print the redundant density
mode information, and it does print the current partition
number and position flags.
Add a new command, 'mt locate', that will supersede the
old 'mt setspos' and 'mt sethpos' commands. 'mt locate'
implements all of the functionality of the MTIOCEXTLOCATE
ioctl, and allows the user to change the logical position
of the tape drive in a number of ways. (Partition,
block number, file number, set mark number, end of data.)
The immediate bit and the explicit address bits are
implemented, but not documented in the man page.
Add a new 'mt weofi' command to use the new MTWEOFI ioctl.
This allows the user to ask the drive to write a filemark
without waiting around for the operation to complete.
Add a new 'mt getdensity' command that gets the XML-based
tape drive density report from the sa(4) driver and displays
it. This uses the SCSI REPORT DENSITY SUPPORT command
to get comprehensive information from the tape drive about
what formats it is able to read and write.
Add a new 'mt protect' command that allows getting and setting
tape drive protection information. The protection information
is a CRC tacked on to the end of every read/write from and to
the tape drive.

sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
In struct scsi_extended_inquiry_data:
- Increase the length field to 2 bytes, as it is 2 bytes in SPC-4.
- Add bit definitions for the various Activiate Microcode actions.
- Add the Sequential Access Logical Block Protection support bit,
since we need that in the sa(4) driver. (For modifications
that will come later.)
- Add definitions for the various Multi I_T Nexus Microcode
Download modes.
sys/cam/ctl/ctl.c:
As of SPC-4, a single report of "REPORTED LUNS DATA HAS CHANGED"
is to be given per I_T nexus. Once it is reported, the unit
attention condition should be cleared for all LUNS attached to
an I_T nexus.
Previously that only happened when a REPORT LUNS command was
processed.
This behavior may be different (according to SAM-5) when the
UA_INTLCK_CTRL bits are non-zero in the control mode page but
CTL does not currently support that.
So, in view of the spec, whenever we report a LUN inventory
change unit attention, clear it on all LUNs for that
particular I_T nexus.
Add a new function, ctl_clear_ua() that will clear a unit
attention on all LUNs for the given I_T nexus.
One field in the extended inquiry data that we could potentially
report at some point is the maximum supported sense data length.
To do that, we would the SIM to report (via path inquiry
perhaps) how much sense data it is able to send.
Add comments to explain some of the bits that are set in the
Extended Inquiry VPD page.
Add a few comments to make it more clear which functions handle

This includes a new summary mode (-s) for camcontrol defects that
quickly tells the user the most important thing: how many defects
are in the requested list. The actual location of the defects is
less important.
Modern drives frequently have more than the 8191 defects that can
be reported by the READ DEFECT DATA (10) command. If they don't
have that many grown defects, they certainly have more than 8191
defects in the primary (i.e. factory) defect list.
The READ DEFECT DATA (12) command allows for longer parameter
lists, as well as indexing into the list of defects, and so allows
reporting many more defects.
This has been tested with HGST drives and Seagate drives, but
does not fully work with Seagate drives. Once I have a Seagate
spec I may be able to determine whether it is possible to make it
work with Seagate drives.
scsi_da.h: Add a definition for the new long block defect
format.
Add bit and mask definitions for the new extended
physical sector and bytes from index defect
formats.
Add a prototype for the new scsi_read_defects() CDB
building function.
scsi_da.c: Add a new scsi_read_defects() CDB building function.
camcontrol(8) was previously composing CDBs manually.
This is long overdue.
camcontrol.c: Revamp the camcontrol defects subcommand. We now
go through multiple stages in trying to get defect
data off the drive while avoiding various drive
firmware quirks.
We start off by requesting the defect header with
the 10 byte command. If we're in summary mode (-s)
and the drive reports fewer defects than can be
represented in the 10 byte header, we're done.
Otherwise, we know that we need to issue the
12 byte command if the drive reports the maximum
number of defects.
If we're in summary mode, we're done if we get a
good response back when asking for the 12 byte header.
If the user has asked for the full list, then we
use the address descriptor index field in the 12
byte CDB to step through the list in 64K chunks.
64K is small enough to work with most any ancient
or modern SCSI controller.
Add support for printing the new long block defect
format, as well as the extended physical sector and
bytes from index formats. I don't have any drives
that support the new formats.
Add a hexadecimal output format that can be turned
on with -X.
Add a quiet mode (-q) that can be turned on with
the summary mode (-s) to just print out a number.
Revamp the error detection and recovery code for
the defects command to work with HGST drives.
Call the new scsi_read_defects() CDB building
function instead of rolling the CDB ourselves.
Pay attention to the residual from the defect list
request when printing it out, so we don't run off
the end of the list.
Use the new scsi_nv library routines to convert
from strings to numbers and back.
camcontrol.8: Document the new defect formats (longblock, extbfi,
extphys) and command line options (-q, -s, -S and
-X) for the defects subcommand.
Explain a little more about what drives generally
do and don't support.

data to go undetected.
The probe code does an MD5 checksum of the inquiry data (and page
0x80 serial number if available) before doing a reprobe of an
existing device, and then compares a checksum after the probe to
see whether the device has changed.
This check was broken in January, 2000 by change 56146 when the extended
inquiry probe code was added.
In the extended inquiry probe case, it was calculating the checksum
a second time. The second time it included the updated inquiry
data from the short inquiry probe (first 36 bytes). So it wouldn't
catch cases where the vendor, product, revision, etc. changed.
This change will have the effect that when a device's inquiry data is
updated and a rescan is issued, it will disappear and then reappear.
This is the appropriate action, because if the inquiry data or serial
number changes, it is either a different device or the device
configuration may have changed significantly. (e.g. with updated
firmware.)
scsi_xpt.c: Don't calculate the initial MD5 checksum on
standard inquiry data and the page 0x80 serial
number if we have already calculated it.
