Update the scsi(4) man page for CAM, and add in links so that it appears

as cam(4) as well.

This includes a description of all the generic CAM kernel options, as
well as a description of some of the CAM debugging printf options.

scsi host adapters through host adapter drivers. When the system probes the .Tn SCSI
.Em SCSI devices, and to utilize different
.Tn SCSI
host adapters through host adapter drivers. When the system probes the
.Tn SCSI
busses, it attaches any devices it finds to the appropriate busses, it attaches any devices it finds to the appropriate
drivers. If no driver seems appropriate, then it attaches the device to the drivers. The

still be performed against the device. driver, if it is configured in the kernel, will attach to all
.Tn SCSI
devices.
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION .Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
The option SCSIDEBUG enables the debug ioctl. There are a number of generic kernel configuration options for the
CAM
.Tn SCSI
subsystem:
.Bl -tag -width SCSI_NO_SENSE_STRINGS
.It Dv CAMDEBUG
This option enables the CAM debugging printf code. This won't actually
cause any debugging information to be printed out when included by itself.
Enabling printouts requires additional configuration. See below for
details.
.It Dv "CAM_MAX_HIGHPOWER=4"
This sets the maximum allowable number of concurrent "high power" commands.
A "high power" command is a command that takes more electrical power than
most to complete. An example of this (and the only command currently
tagged as "high power") is the
.Tn SCSI
START UNIT command. Starting a SCSI disk often takes significantly more
electrical power than normal operation of the disk. This option allows the
user to specify how many concurrent high power commands may be outstanding
without overloading the power supply on his computer.
.It Dv SCSI_NO_SENSE_STRINGS
This eliminates text descriptions of each
.Tn SCSI
Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier pair. Since this
is a fairly large text database, eliminating it reduces the size of the
kernel somewhat. This is primarily necessary for boot floppies and other
low disk space or low memory space environments. In most cases, though,
this should be enabled, since it speeds the interpretation of
.Tn SCSI
error messages. Don't let the "kernel bloat" zealots get to you -- leave
the sense descriptions in your kernel!
.It Dv SCSI_NO_OP_STRINGS
This disables text descriptions of each
.Tn SCSI
opcode. This option, like the sense string option above, is primarily
useful for environments like a boot floppy where kernel size is critical.
Enabling this option for normal use isn't recommended, since it slows
debugging of
.Tn SCSI
problems.
.It Dv SCSI_DELAY=8000
This is the
.Tn SCSI
"bus settle delay." In CAM, it is specified in
.Em milliseconds ,
not seconds like the old
.Tn SCSI
layer used to do. When the kernel boots, it sends a bus reset to each
.Tn SCSI
bus to tell each device to reset itself to a default set of transfer
negotiations and other settings. Most
.Tn SCSI
devices need some amount of time to recover from a bus reset. Newer disks
may need as little as 100ms, while old, slow devices may need much longer.
If the
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
isn't specified, it defaults to 2 seconds. The minimum allowable value for
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
is "100", or 100ms. One special case is that if the
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
is set to 0, that will be taken to mean the "lowest possible value." In
that case, the
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
will be reset to 100ms.

.Sh IOCTLS
There are a number of ioctls that work on any
.Em SCSI
device. They are defined in
.Em sys/scsiio.h
and can be applied against any scsi device that permits them.
For the 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.

controlled by four bits, described in the header file. If no debugging is
configured into the kernel, debugging will have no effect.

.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

Some of these flags, most notably
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_TRACE
and
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE
will produce kernel printfs in EXTREME numbers. Because of that, they
aren't especially useful. There aren't many things logged at the
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_INFO
level, so it isn't especially useful. The most useful debugging flag is
the
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_CDB
flag. Users can enable debugging from their kernel config file, by using
the following kernel config options:
.Bl -tag -width CAM_DEBUG_TARGET
.It Dv CAMDEBUG
This enables CAM debugging. Without this option, users will not even be able
to turn on debugging from userland via
.Xr camcontrol 8 .
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_FLAGS
This allows the user to set the various debugging flags described above
in a kernel config file. Flags may be ORed together if the user wishes to
see printfs for multiple debugging levels.
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_BUS
Specify a bus to debug. To debug all busses, set this to -1.
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_TARGET
Specify a target to debug. To debug all targets, set this to -1.
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_LUN
Specify a lun to debug. To debug all luns, set this to -1.
.El
.Pp
When specifying a bus, target or lun to debug, you
.Em MUST
specify all three bus/target/lun options above. Using wildcards, you
should be able to enable debugging on most anything.
.Pp
Users may also enable debugging printfs on the fly, if the
.Dv CAMDEBUG
option is their config file, by using the
.Xr camcontrol 8
utility. See
.Xr camcontrol 8
for details.
