other systems.
o Normalize copyright text.
o Clean up probe code function interfaces by passing around a single
structure of common arguments instead of passing "too many" args
in each function call.
o Add support for the AAA-131 as a SCSI adapter.
o Add support for the AHA-4944 courtesy of "Matthew N. Dodd" <winter@jurai.net
o Correct manual termination support for PCI cards. The bit definitions
for manual termination control in the SEEPROM were incorrect.
o Add support for extracting NVRAM information from SCB 2 for BIOSen
that use this mechanism to pass this data to OS drivers.
o Properly set the STPWLEVEL bit in PCI config space based on the
setting in an SEEPROM.
o Go back to useing 32byte SCBs for all controllers. The current
firmware allows us to embed 12byte cdbs on all controllers in
a 32byte SCB, and larger cdbs are rarely used, so it is a
better use of this space to offer more SCBs (32).
o Add support for U160 transfers.
o Add an idle loop executed during data transfers that prefetches
S/G segments on controllers that have a secondary DMA engine
(aic789X).
o Improve the performance of reselections by avoiding an extra
one byte DMA in the case of an SCB lookup miss for the reselecting
target. We now keep a 16byte "untagged target" array on the card
for dealing with untagged reselections. If the controller has
external SCB ram and can support 64byte SCBs, then we use an
"untagged target/lun" array to maximize concurrency. Without
external SCB ram, the controller is limited to one untagged
transaction per target, auto-request sense operations excluded.
o Correct the setup of the STPWEN bit in SXFRCTL1. This control
line is tri-stated until set to one, so set it to one and then
set it to the desired value.
o Add tagged queuing support to our target role implementation.
o Handle the common cases of the ignore wide residue message
in firmware.
o Add preliminary support for 39bit addressing.
o Add support for assembling on big-endian machines. Big-endian
support is not complete in the driver.
o Correctly remove SCBs in the waiting for selection queue when
freezing a device queue.
o Now that we understand more about the autoflush bug on the
aic7890, only use the workaround on devices that need it.
o Add a workaround for the "aic7890 hangs the system when you
attempt to pause it" problem. We can now pause the aic7890
safely regardless of what instruction it is executing.
93cx6.c:
Make the SRAM dump output a little prettier.
aic7xxx.c:
Store all SG entries into our SG array in kernel space.
This makes data-overrun and other error reporting more
useful as we can dump all SG entries. In the past,
we only stored the SG entries that the sequencer might
need to access, which meant we skipped the first element
that is embedded into the SCB.
Add a table of chip strings and replace ugly switch
statements with table lookups.
Add a table with bus phase strings and message reponses
to parity errors in those phases. Use the table to
pretty print bus phase messages as well as collapse
another switch statement.
Fix a bug in target mode that could cause us to unpause
the sequencer early in bus reset processing.
Add the 80MHz/DT mode into our syncrate table. This
rate is not yet used or enabled.
Correct some comments, clean up some code...
aic7xxx.h:
Add U160 controller feature information.
Add some more bit fields for various SEEPROM formats.
aic7xxx.reg:
Add U160 register and register bit definitions.
aic7xxx.seq:
Make phasemis state tracking more straight forward. This
avoids the consumption of SINDEX which is a very useful register.
For the U160 chips, you must use the 'mov' instruction to
update DFCNTRL. Using 'or' to set the PRELOADED bit is
completely ineffective.
At the end of the command phase, wair for our ACK signal
to de-assert before disabling the SCSI dma engine. For
slow devices, this avoids clearing the ACK before the
other end has had a chance to see it and lower REQ.
- Convert to CAM
- Use a new DMA based queuing and paging scheme
- Add preliminary target mode support
- Add support for the aic789X chips
- Take advantage of external SRAM on more controllers.
- Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements.
