.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm scsi
|
|
.Nd scsi system
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm device-driver scbus
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Em scsi
|
|
system provides a uniform and modular system for the implimentation
|
|
of drivers to control various scsi devices, and to utilise different
|
|
scsi adapters through adapter drivers. When the system probes the
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
busses, it attaches any devices it finds to the appropriate
|
|
drivers. If no driver seems appropriate, then at attaches the device to the
|
|
uk (unknown) driver (if configured), so that user level scsi ioctls may
|
|
still be performed against the device.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
Continuously changing. check your nearest bsd mailing list.
|
|
The option SCSIDEBUG enables the debug ioctl.
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
|
There are a number of ioctls that will (when the next stage is complete)
|
|
work on any
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
device. They are defined in
|
|
.Em sys/scsiio.h
|
|
and can be applied against any scsi device that allows both read and write,
|
|
though for devices such as tape, it must be applied against the control
|
|
device. See the manual page for each device type for more information about
|
|
how generic scsi ioctls may be applied to a specific device.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width DIOCSDINFO____
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCRESET*
|
|
reset a device.
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCDEBUG
|
|
Turn on debugging.. All scsi operations originating from this device's driver
|
|
will be traced to the console, along with other information. Debugging is
|
|
controlled by four bits, described in the header file. If no debugging is
|
|
configured into the kernel, debugging will have no effect.
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
debugging is controlled by the configuration option
|
|
.Em SCSIDEBUG.
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCCOMMAND
|
|
Take a scsi command and data from a user process and apply them to the scsi
|
|
device. Return all status information and return data to the process. The
|
|
ioctl will return a successful status even if the device rejected the
|
|
command. As all status is returned to the user, it is up to the user
|
|
process to examine this information to decide the success of the command.
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCREPROBE
|
|
Ask the system to probe the scsi busses for any new devices. If it finds
|
|
any, they will be attached to the appropriate drivers. The search can be
|
|
narrowed to a specific bus, target or lun. The new device may or may not
|
|
be related to the device on which the ioctl was performed.
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCIDENTIFY
|
|
Ask the driver what it's bus, target and lun are.
|
|
.It Dv SCIOCDECONFIG
|
|
Ask the device to dissappear. This may not happen if the device is in use.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
the generic scsi part of the system is still being mapped out.
|
|
Watch this space for changes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A device by the name of su (scsi_user)
|
|
(e.g su0-0-0) will map bus, target and lun to minor numbers. I have not
|
|
yet decided yet whether this device will be able to open a device that is
|
|
already controlled by an explicit driver.
|
|
.Sh ADAPTERS
|
|
The system allows common device drivers to work through many different
|
|
types of adapters. The adapters take requests from the upper layers and do
|
|
all IO between the
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
bus and the system. The maximum size of a transfer is governed by the
|
|
adapter. Most adapters can transfer 64KB in a single operation, however
|
|
many can transfer larger amounts.
|
|
.Sh TARGET MODE
|
|
Some adapters support
|
|
.Em Target mode
|
|
in which the system is capable of operating as a device, responding to
|
|
operations initioated by another system. Target mode will be supported for
|
|
some adapters, but is not yet complete for this version of the scsi system.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
see other scsi device entries.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
When the kernel is compiled with option SCSIDEBUG, the SCIOCDEBUG ioctl
|
|
can be used to enable various amounts of tracing information on any
|
|
specific device. Devices not being traced will not produce trace information.
|
|
The four bits that make up the debug level, each control certain types
|
|
of debugging information.

.Bl -tag -width THIS_WIDE_PLEASE
|
|
.It Dv Bit 0
|
|
Bit 0 shows all scsi bus operations including scsi commands,
|
|
error information and the first 48 bytes of any data transferred.
|
|
.It Dv Bit 1
|
|
Bit 1 shows routines called.
|
|
.It Dv Bit 2
|
|
Bit 2 shows information about what branches are taken and often some
|
|
of the return values of functions.
|
|
.It Dv Bit 3
|
|
Bit 3 shows more detailed information including DMA scatter-gather logs.
