the GEOM topology.
There are still issues with not detaching from cam correctly such that
upon a device detach there's an invalid pointer dereference from the
later call to cam_rescan().
instead of taskqueue_swi. This shaves from 1 to 10% of the overhead.
Overhaul the locking once more, there was a few possible races that
are now closed.
This gives +10% performance on simple tests, so definitly worth it.
A few percent more could be had by not using M_ZERO'd alloc's, but
we then need to clear fields all over the place to be safe, and
that was deemed not worth the trouble (and it makes life dangerous).
of the leftovers from the old version that really doesn't work anymore.
Add a reset function for host-end of the ATA channel. This is needed
for the SiI3112 in order to whack it back to reality if a device
locks up the SATA interface (thereby preventing that we can reset the
device). The result is that ATA now recovers from the timeouts that
happens with the SiI3112A and more or less all disks based on old
PATA electronics with a Marvell PATA->SATA converter. This includes
lots of the popular SATA dongles and the WDC Raptor disks..
TOC's for the same media!! that borks up GEOM.
Although this looks like bad HW the following patch removes the
chance for GEOM panic'ing.
Approved by: re@
GEOM was not designed to handle media that does not have
a size. Blank CD's are of that type, so cheat and set the
media size to -1. This allows burning to work, but makes
GEOM issue outofrange reads that makes the ATAPI subsystem
spew out a few warnings. GEOM should be tought about this.
GEOM was not designed to handle changing the sectorsize
between opens. Writing multitack CD's with both audio and
data tracks needs to change sector size on the fly. We
cheat here and stuff the current sectorsize into GEOM
private internals. GEOM should grow some clean way for this.
This commit puts the relevant code snippets under #ifdef GONE_IN_5
(rather than #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES) thereby disabling the code now.
The code wil be entirely removed before 5.2 unless we find reasons
why this would be a bad idea.
Approach suggested by: imp
For the floppy driver, use fdcontrol to manipulate density selection.
For the CD drivers, the 'a' and 'c' suffix is without actual effect and
any applications insisting on it can be satisfied with a symlink:
ln -s /dev/cd0 /dev/cd0a
Ongoing discussion may result in these pieces of code being removed before
the 5-stable branch as opposed to after.
Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.
The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.
The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.
Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.
Add support for a the National Geode SC1100. Thanks to Soekris engineering
for sponsoring a Soekris 4801 to make this support.
Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now
we are around in that corner anyways.
Retain the mistake of not updating the devstat API for now.
Spell bioq_disksort() consistently with the remaining bioq_*().
#include <geom/geom_disk.h> where this is more appropriate.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

This moves all chipset specific code to a new file 'ata-chipset.c'.
Extensive use of tables and pointers to avoid having the same switch
on chipset type in several places, and to allow substituting various
functions for different HW arch needs.
Added PIO mode setup and all DMA modes.
Support for all known SiS chipsets. Thanks to Christoph Kukulies for
sponsoring a nice ASUS P4S8X SiS648 based board for this work!
Tested on: i386, PC98, alpha and sparc64
If the value from the user is less than 177, assume it is a multiple of
a single speed CDROM and convert to KB/sec.

* Change atapi-cd ioctls to use the same units.
* Change burncd, cdcontrol to convert CDROM speed to KB/sec before
calling the ioctl. Add a "max" speed option for their command lines.
This change does not break ABI but does change the units passed through
the ioctl so 3rd party software that uses cdrio.h will have to convert
(most likely by multiplying CDROM speed by 177 to get KB/s).
