was needed to make attach/detach of devices work, which is
needed for the PCCARD support.
(PCCARD support is still not working though, more to come on that)
Support the CMD646 chip which is used on many alphas, sadly only
in WDMA2 mode, as the silicon is broken beyond belief for UDMA modes.
Lots of cosmetic fixes here and there.
Sorry for the size of this megapatchfromhell but it was not
possible otherwise...
newbus patches based on work from: dfr (Doug Rabson)
fix support for multiple HPT & Promise controllers.
support mixed 33/66 devices on the Promise 66 controllers.
fix the refcount stuff in the atapi drivers.
misc cleanups.
Dont be so verbose in the probe, only ONE line printed now, to get more
info boot verbose. Centralise most printf's in ata-all & ata-dma to use
the ata_printf function, it saves alot of codelines.
Repeat the identify command if drive fails the first.
Protect the timeout functions with splbio.
Dont update the transfer details before we are sure the transfer
succeded, this way they are proberly retried on errors.
Move the handling of next_writeable to userland.
Use the READ_CD command to read CD's. That enables us to read _anything_
via the normal read/write interface. This kindof obsoletes the READAUDIO
ioctl, but we keep that for now.
Prober support for the VIA 82C686, I finally got the right datasheet.
Get rid of atapi_wait, merge it into ata_wait.
Avoid a couple of races by using asleep instead of tsleep.
Always use 16bit transfers on ISA systems.
Clear up the atapi_read/write functions.
on all combinations (I hope)...
Add DMA support for the AMD 756 chip (K7 chipset) this is actually the
same as the VIA 82C686 chip (the ATA part that is).
Treat the intel MX chipset PIIX as a PIIX4
Allow UDMA on all disks that say they can handle it.
Cleanup probe printf's a bit
Remove alot of the old #ifdef DEBUG crap.
main component in the southbridge chip to determine which VIA chip
we are dealing with.
Try to enable DMA on generic controllers that say they has the
capability, instead of relying on the BIOS to have set it up.
Add a missing DELAY(1) in ata_wait.
Change the info from ad_version, so the ATA version from the disk can
be used to quantify the DAM modes valid for this drive, ie be more
selective with turning DMA on on older disks that should not support it..
Fix the probe for BIOS enabled DMA in the generic case, master/slave
was reversed in the test.
Check the return for ata_command in all cases, and print warnings if
it fails.
Call ata_dmainit with all dmamodes off when falling back to PIO mode,
that should take care of both the Promise & HPT366 controllers not
being able to handle the fallback...
Cleanup the printf's in the drivers, use the prober device name (if
possible) instead of ataN-master/slave.
Try to use a 32bit mask on the IO addresses, this fixes the alpha
and hopefully doesn't break on any i386 machines.
Try to enable both read & write cache on disks, they should be as
default, but better be sure..
Fix a bug which could cause panics in ad/atapi-interrupt.
Add support for UDMA66 on Promise Ultra/Fasttrak controllers.
Get rid of ATA_IGNORE_INTR, and introduce ATA_WAIT_INTR instead.
Add a delay in the dump routine in ata-disk.c, some controllers
seem to need this. Also dont use the timeout watchdog when dumping.
Disable DMA on ATAPI devices as default, add option ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA
for those that has HW that works.
Add support for some not-up-to-spec ATAPI devices that returns data
together with completition status on data moving cmd's.
their HotRod controller and on SIIG PCI ultra DMA controller. These
changes also made lots of the Promise code go away, its all much more
generic this way.
Get rid of atapi_immed_cmd, instead use the queue to move atapi commands
from interrupt context if nessesary, the entire atapi layer has
gotten an overhaul.
Lots of fixes to utililize the new features in subr_disk.c etc, and
get rid of the last biots of softc arrays in the drivers, the
only one left is atadevices which cannot easily go away (yet).
Use our own malloc names, its a lot easier to track memory usage this way.
General cleanup overall.
It been awhile since the last major update, as a benefit there
are some cool things in this one (and new bugs probably :) )...
The ATA driver has grown "real" timeout support for all devices.
This means that it should be possible to get in contact with
(especially) lost ATAPI devices. It also means that the ATA
driver is now usable on notebooks as it will DTRT on resume.
An experimental hack at utilizing the Promise66's at UDMA66 is
in there, but I cant test it. If someone feels like sending
me one, give me a ping.
The ATAPI DMA enableling scheme has been changed, also better DMA
support for the Aladdin chipset has been implemented for ATAPI
devices. Note that the Aladdin apparently only can do DMA reads
on ATAPI devices, and the Promise cant do ATAPI DMA at all.
I have seen problems on some ATAPI devices that should be able
to run in DMA mode, so if you encounter problems with hanging
atapi devices during the probe, or during access, disable DMA
in atapi-all.c, and let me know. It might be nessesary to do this
via a "white list" for known good devices...
The ATAPI CDROM driver can now use eject/close without hanging and
the bug that caused reading beyond the end of a CD has been fixed.
Media change is also handled proberly. DVD drives are identified
and are usable as CDROM devices at least, I dont have the HW to
test this further, see above :).
The ATAPI tape driver has gotten some support for using the DSC
method for not blocking the IDE channel during read/write when
the device has full buffers. It knows about the OnStream DI-30
device, support is not completed yet, but it can function as a
primitive backup medium, without filemarks, and without bad media
handeling. This is because the OnStream device doesn't handle this
(like everybody else) in HW. It also now supports getting/setting
the record position on devices that supports it.
Some rather major cleanups and rearrangements as well (cvs -b diff
is your freind). I'm closing in on declaring this for beta code,
most of the infrastruture is in place by now.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still alpha level code.
This driver can hose your disk real bad if anything goes wrong, but
now you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

preparation for tsunami support. Previous chipsets' direct-mapped DMA
mask was always 1024*1024*1024. The Tsunami chipset needs it to be
2*1024*1024*1024
These changes should not affect the i386 port

Fixed problems:
LS120 drives currupted data.
The workaround for drives not supporting upto 64K transfers
has been reworked. It works now both on LS120 & ZIP drives.
ISA only configs wont compile.
Fixed.
The ATA driver wont share interrupts.
Fixed.
The "unwanted interrupt" warning gave wrong controller.
Another lun<>unit messup from the newbus integration.
Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...
But please tell me how it works for you!

i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
Approved by: core
Fixed problems:
Promise controllers was not always set up correctly.
Parantheses are a good thing, fixed.
Some older CDROM's could hang the probe.
Proberly wait for the drive to catch its breath after IDENTIFY.
Some CD writers fails because they dont support rezero.
Rearranged the code to not use rezero.
Warnings now that we use EGCS.
Fixed.
Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
