area within the softc and 'continue' repeated mailbox commands. This is
more or less on an ad hoc basis and is currently only used for firmware
loading (which f/w now loads substantially faster becuase the calling

one of the 40000 f/w words that gets loaded).

sitting in outgoing mailbox0. This seems to capture cases of lost fast posting

Overhaul of the attach/detach code and structures, there were some nasty
bugs in the old implementation. This made it possible to collapse the
ATA/ATAPI device control structures into one generic structure.
A note here, the kernel is NOT ready for detach of active devices,
it fails all over in random places, but for inactive devices it works.
However for ATA RAID this works, since the RAID abstration layer
insulates the buggy^H^H^H^H^H^Hfragile device subsystem from the
physical disks.
Proberly detect the RAID's from the BIOS, and mark critical RAID1
arrays as such, but continue if there is enough of the mirror left
to do so.
Properly fail arrays on a live system. For RAID0 that means return EIO,
and for RAID1 it means continue on the still working part of the mirror
if possible, else return EIO.
If the state changes, log this to the console.
Allow for Promise & Highpoint controllers/arrays to coexist on the
same machine. It is not possible to distribute arrays over different
makes of controllers though.
If Promise SuperSwap enclosures are used, signal disk state on the
status LED on the front.
Misc fixes that I had lying around for various minor bugs.

at insert time. When asking gibbs for approval for an MFC, this was
his reply:
1) It leaks memory if it can't allocate a path.
2) It defers allocation of aic->path until the call to scan the
bus. This means the path may be NULL when an interrupt occurs
prior to the call to scan the bus (stray bus reset for instance),
which will lead to a panic.
3) The driver in current doesn't recover from the failure to allocate
aic->path. The driver doesn't check during normal operation if
the path is NULL, so again a panic will result.
4) aic_cam_rescan calls malloc with M_WAITOK. aic_cam_rescan is called
from attach where it isn't necessarily safe to sleep.
5) And most importantly, it co-opts the xpt_periph from the driver level.
This was never part of the design (xpt_periph used to be static). Making
a call of this type may completely confuse the XPT if other XPT operations
are ongoing.
In the long term, Justin and Warner agreed to implement solution where
CAM itself will initiate the bus rescan if a new bus is added. For
the time being (and in particular in light of the upcoming 4.5
release), we now have camcontrol available on the boot floppy, and can
have pccardd initiate the rescan through it.

mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha

. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
commonly used media densities. So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
asked. It's all that easy, isn't it? :)
. Device density handling has been completely overhauled. The old way
of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there. Instead,
the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive. The first
subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
devices are freely programmable. They can be assigned an arbitrary
name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
depending on the taste of the administrator. After creating a
subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
densities by using fdcontrol(8). Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.
. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
devices down from the loader via device flags. On IA32
architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
configuration records though. On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
assumed.
. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.
. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention. (Can
be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
perform the autoselection.)
. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
it -- not all do these days).
. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
only a few ioctls are accepted. This is necessary to run fdformat
on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).
. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
the chips anyway.
BUGS and TODOs:
. All documentation update still needs to be done.
. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
have yet to figure out why this happens. "Standard" formats like
720 and 1440 KB do work, however.
. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).
. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
really detected. Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.
