- Build SGL's for ATA_PASSTHROUGH commands
- Fallback to using the sgl_offset when the opcode is unknown for building
SGL's/
- Add ioctl calls for adding and removing units.
- Define previously undefined AEN's
- Allocate memory for the ioctl payload in multiples of 512bytes.
MFC after: 1 week
the upcoming 7.4 family (7xxx controllers).
- improved error reporting and handling
- more diagnostic output
- add extra command packet definitions
- merge sources again with -stable
- Rework of twe_report_request to use the command status value rather
than the flags register. (Joel Jacobson @ 3ware)
- Update to match some changes in -current vs. stable.
MFC in: 1 week
- standardise error reporting for commands
- simplify the driver-to-controller bio transfer
- add bio in/out accounting
- correctly preserve the command ID in twe_ioctl (thanks to joel@3ware)
- Layout reorganisation to enhance portability. The driver now has
a relatively MI 'core' and a FreeBSD-specific layer over the top.
Since the NetBSD people have already done their own port, this is
largely just to help me with the BSD/OS port.
- Request ID allocation changed to improve performance (I'd been
considering switching to this approach after having failed to come
up with a better way to dynamically allocate request IDs, and seeing
Andy Doran use it in the NetBSD port of the driver convinced me
that I was wasting my time doing it any other way). Now we just
allocate all the requests up front.
- Maximum request count bumped back to 255 after characterisation
of a firmware issue (off-by-one causing it to crash with 256
outstanding commands).
- Control interface implemented. This allows 3ware's '3dm' utility to
talk to the controller. 3dm will be available from 3ware shortly.
- Controller soft-reset feature added; if the controller signals a
firmware or protocol error, the controller will be reset and all
outstanding commands will be retried.
