to provide clues to figure out this problem. Now MegaCli can upgrade
the firmware and should work identical when run on Linux.

is actually a circular log. Deal with it rolling around. Fortunately,
the log area is big and I haven't seen any roll over yet. Update and
get rid of the obsolete comment.
- Don't leak the config lock if detach() fails due to the controller char
dev being open.
- Close a race between detach() and a process opening the controller char
dev.

now takes a device_t to be the parent of the bus that is being created.
Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.
- In the ioctl path let command get queued up and return
when complete _without_ blocking the driving waiting for
the response. This way the driver doesn't "lock up" for
~30s during a flash command. Submitted by scottl.
- Add a guard so that if a DCMD of 0 is sent down the ioctl
path don't send it to the controller. Return with a
status of OK. This is a little strange since MegaCli
doesn't seem to like something and will issue some DCMD
of 0. This doesn't happen under Linux. So the emulation
needs to be improved but I'm not sure what. Another strange
thing is that when a DCMD of 0 gets issued under i386 the
controller returns OK but in amd64 the context is messed
up.
- Add a guard so the context has to be with-in the legal
limit so we get a reasonable error assertion versus random
panic.
It's going to be a challenge to figure out why MegaCli is not totally
happy and then sends some bogus commands. This means that flashing
firmware via the Linux tool won't work since it generates a DCMD of
0 when it should be opening the firmware for a flash update. Without
this problem flashing works fine. This means there is no publicly
available tool to upgrade the RAID firmware under FreeBSD right now.
I plan to MFC all of the mfi changes to 6.X shortly. This might not
include the SCSI pass-through changes.

1) s/mi/mfi/ in FreeBSD ioctl path
2) add in "\n" on various failure messages
3) cap the length of time to abort an AEN command
4) fix passing sense data back to user to make Dell's Linux firmware
upgrade tool happy.
5) bump the MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS from 10s to 50s since the
firmware flash command can take ~40s to return.
This is some clean-up and enables RAID firmware to updated via Dell's
tool. Note Dell's tool requires the updates to the Linux emulator
that has been done in -current with TLS etc.
I need to discuss with scottl how to better submit mfi commands to
the firmware via the ioctl path so we don't do it in polled mode.
after calling mfi_mapcmd is no longer needed, so long as the MFI_CMD_POLLED
flag is set. This change eliminates the possibility of a polled command
getting posted twice to the driver. This is turn fixes panics on shutdown
when INVARIANTS is set.

- Add a translation so the Linux ioctl's don't conflict with
the FreeBSD definition.
- Assume Linux 32bit emulation on amd64.
This was tested on i386 and amd64 with the 32bit Linux MegaCli.
Eventually we should do a 32bit native FreeBSD translation app.
- Fix the locking protocol to eliminate races between normal I/O and AENs.
- Various small improvements and usability tweaks.

AEN. This makes the boot messages cleaner. I now know how this
structure works so I can implement it versus guessing. Remove the
not ready type code since it is ready now.
I added the time stamp/locale/class so people can parse messages better.
Create a sysctl so that we can set the locale/class level.
the description so we don't have to do any more queries. Disable the
event query code until it figured out since but it is similar to the
AEN detail so we should be able to get that working.
- Linux ioctl support, with the other Linux changes MegaCli
will run if you mount linprocfs & linsysfs then set
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.12 or similar. This works
on i386. It should work on amd64 but not well tested yet.
StoreLib may or may not work. Remember to kldload mfi_linux.
- Add in AEN (Async Event Notification) support so we can
get messages from the firmware when something happens.
Not all messages are in defined in event detail. Use
event_log to try to figure out what happened.
- Try to implement something like SIGIO for StoreLib. Since
mrmonitor doesn't work right I can't fully test it. StoreLib
works best with the rh9 base. In theory mrmonitor isn't
needed due to native driver support of AEN :-)
Now we can configure and monitor the RAID better.

Saab for helping to track this down. Fix a error with 32bit DMA size

I'm here.

driver provides a block interface to logical disks on the card and a minimal
management device. It is MPSAFE, INTR_FAST, and 64-bit capable.
