we only have one implementation in mfi.
- Fix dumping on Thunderbolt cards. Polled IO commands do not seem to
be normally acknowledged by changing cmd_status to MFI_STAT_OK.
In order to get acknowledgement of the IO is complete, the Thunderbolt
command queue needs to be run through. I added a flag MFI_CMD_SCSI
to indicate this command is being polled and to complete the
Thunderbolt wrapper and indicate the result. This flag needs to be
set in the JBOD case in case if that us using Thunderbolt card.
When in the polling loop check for completed commands.
- Remove mfi_tbolt_is_ldio and just do the check when needed.
- Fix an issue when attaching of disk device happens when a device is
already scheduled to be attached but hasn't attached.
- add a tunable to allow raw disk attachment to CAM via:
hw.mfi.allow_cam_disk_passthrough=1

abort function and only wait the command being aborted not both.
Thunderbolt cards don't seem to abort commands so the abort times
out.

ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.

Specifically, add support for "Drake Skinny" and "ThunderBolt" LSI
cards.
Initial code was supplied by LSI under BSD license. Several improvements
were done by myself. Such things like making it work in a static kernel,
be able to boot of the RAID, performance improvements. I removed some
fairly complicated code that seemed to directly access the disks under
the firmware. It doesn't seem to be needed and significantly slowed
down the performance of the driver and caused tons of sense errors to
be reported.
This code is being checked in this area so others can help me get it into
shape to commit into the FreeBSD tree. Assistance has been volunteered
by iXsystems.
We might want to re-work the JBOD attachment that creates /dev/mfisyspd?
node for each disk.
Performance is faster then prior cards. It works okay with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on amd64 and i386. I recall seeing a use after
free time bug with FreeBSD 8 and a Drake Skinny card with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on.
First task is get all of the new structures to be named in FreeBSD
style format.
Next is probably to deal with the 64bit addressing changes that are
mostly around the #ifdef __amd64__ checks.
Thanks to LSI for providing the initial code.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

- 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.

- 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.
