Until we can have perfect knowledge that all callers above us think it's okay
for us to sleep, releasing *our* locks of course, we don't dare try and sleep.
in connection with Marvell based SATA->PATA dongles.
The problem was caused by a combination of things working
together to make it hard to spot...
The ATA driver has always started the ATA command, then build
the SG list for DMA and then finally started the DMA engine.
While this is according to specs, it poses a potential
problem as some controllers apparently do not allow for unlimitted
time between starting the ATA command and starting the DMA engine.
At about the same time as ATAng was committed there were lots
of other changes applied, some of which was locking in parts
that causes the busdma load functions to take significantly
longer to load the SG list.
This pushed the time spent between starting the ATA command and
starting the DMA engine over the hill for some controllers
(especially the Silicon Image DS3112a) and caused what looked
like lost interrupts.
The solution is to get all the SG list work or rather all
busdma related stuff done before we even try to start anything.
This has the nice side effect of seperating busdma out the
way it should be, so the working of the ATA machinery is not
cluttered up with busdma droppings, making the code easier
to read and understand.
chain passed into dc_encap, which dc_start was unaware of. This caused
the old (now invalid) mbuf to be passed to BPF_MTAP.

table, acquiring the necessary locks as it works. It usually returns
two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the
first thing they previously did was grab an extra reference on the
file.

Use EP_{READ,WRITE}{,_MULTI}_{1,2,4} instead. I've had several people
submit patches like this over the years of varying qualities, markm
being the last. The names were chosen in consulation with mdodd on
irc.
I've tested this with only PCMCIA cards: 3CCE589EC and 3CCSH572BT.
I've not tried with my more extensive ISA, EISA and cbus collection.

Though this is still incomplete and has some missing features such as
exclusive login and event notification, it may be enough for someone
who wants to play with it.
This driver is supposed to work with firewire(4), targ(4) of CAM(4)
and scsi_target(8) which can be found in /usr/share/example/scsi_target.
This driver doesn't require sbp(4) which implements initiator mode.
Sample configuration:
Kernel: (you can use modules as well)
device firewire
device scbus
device targ
device sbp_targ
After reboot:
# mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 10m
md0
# scsi_target 0:0:0 /dev/md0
(Assuming sbp_targ0 on scbus0)
You should find the 10MB HDD on FreeBSD/MacOS X/WinXP or whatever connected
to the target using FireWire.

- Change type of target->luns to allocate an array of LUNs dynamically.
This allows targets to change their number of LUNs after each bus reset.
- Serialize ORB POINTER command for each LUN.
- Improve debug messages.
- 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.

NOTE: We must put ed_probe_SIC() function into if_ed_isa.c because
this is a bus dependent code. But the ed driver code is not
separated explicitly whether it is bus dependent or independent
now.

- Make multicast work
- Fix (some of) the watchdog timeouts after card reset
- Add support for CE2, CEM28 and CEM33 cards
- General code cleanup
Any card that worked previously should still work, as well as a lot that
didn't.
The driver is not yet style(9) compliant; those changes are forthcoming,
once the functional changes are done.

timeout would continue to happen: boom! Fix this[*] by timing out earlier.
[*] almost fixes the race on unload: wi_inquire could be running when
untimeout is called, and there's no way to know when it has actually
returned. This race is very rare and hard to lose.
