reporting. It includes:
- removing of error messages controlled by bootverbose, replacing them
with more universal and informative debugging on CAM_DEBUG_INFO level,
that is now built into the kernel by default;
- more close following to the arguments submitted by caller, such as
SF_PRINT_ALWAYS, SF_QUIET_IR and SF_NO_PRINT; consumer knows better which
errors are usual/expected at this point and which are really informative;
- adding two new flags SF_NO_RECOVERY and SF_NO_RETRY to allow caller
specify how much assistance it needs at this point; previously consumers
controlled that by not calling cam_periph_error() at all, but that made
behavior inconsistent and debugging complicated;
- tuning debug messages and taken actions order to make debugging output
more readable and cause-effect relationships visible;
- making camperiphdone() (common device recovery completion handler) to
also use cam_periph_error() in most cases, instead of own dumb code;
- removing manual sense fetching code from cam_periph_error(); I was told
by number of people that it is SIM obligation to fetch sense data, so this
code is useless and only significantly complicates recovery logic;
- making ada, da and pass driver to use cam_periph_error() with new limited
recovery options to handle error recovery and debugging in common way;
as one of results, CAM_REQUEUE_REQ and other retrying statuses are now
working fine with pass driver, that caused many problems before.
- reverting r186891 by raj@ to avoid burning few seconds in tight DELAY()
loops on device probe, while device simply loads media; I think that problem
may already be fixed in other way, and even if it is not, solution must be
different.

This was previously done only for SCSI XPT in r223081, on which the change
in r223089 depended in order to respond to serial number requests. As a
result of r223089, da(4) and ada(4) devices register a d_getattr for geom to
use to obtain the information.

- device initiated power management (some devices support only this way);
- Automatic Partial to Slumber Transition (more power saving);
- DMA auto-activation (expected to slightly improve performance).
More features could be added later, when hardware supports.
Add Power Up In Stand-by feature support. Device with PUIS enabled
require explicit command to do initial spin-up. Mark that command
with CAM_HIGH_POWER flag, to allow CAM manage staggered spin-up.
- Unify bus reset/probe sequence. Whenever bus attached at boot or later,
CAM will automatically reset and scan it. It allows to remove duplicate
code from many drivers.
- Any bus, attached before CAM completed it's boot-time initialization,
will equally join to the process, delaying boot if needed.
- New kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable should help controllers that
are still unable to register their buses in time (such as slow USB/
PCCard/ CardBus devices), by adding one more event to wait on boot.
- To allow synchronization between different CAM levels, concept of
requests priorities was extended. Priorities now split between several
"run levels". Device can be freezed at specified level, allowing higher
priority requests to pass. For example, no payload requests allowed,
until PMP driver enable port. ATA XPT negotiate transfer parameters,
periph driver configure caching and so on.
- Frozen requests are no more counted by request allocation scheduler.
It fixes deadlocks, when frozen low priority payload requests occupying
slots, required by higher levels to manage theit execution.
- Two last changes were holding proper ATA reinitialization and error
recovery implementation. Now it is done: SATA controllers and Port
Multipliers now implement automatic hot-plug and should correctly
recover from timeouts and bus resets.
- Improve SCSI error recovery for devices on buses without automatic sense
reporting, such as ATAPI or USB. For example, it allows CAM to wait, while
CD drive loads disk, instead of immediately return error status.
- Decapitalize diagnostic messages and make them more readable and sensible.
- Teach PMP driver to limit maximum speed on fan-out ports.
- Make boot wait for PMP scan completes, and make rescan more reliable.
- Fix pass driver, to return CCB to user level in case of error.
- Increase number of retries in cd driver, as device may return several UAs.
- Cleanup kernel messages, mostly PMP.
- Took references on devices, while PMP reinitializes them, to not let them
go and distort freeze reference counting.
Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

SATA SIM number of tags supported by each device, implement ATA mode and

count then controller supports.

- Implement ATA mode negotiation between user settings, device and
controller capabilities.
