>Synopsis: Booting w/scsi tape in drive causes first use to fail
Booting with a tape in a SCSI tape drive will cause the first
use of the tape to fail with the following message:
st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0.

I copied the STUNIT definition from the old scsiconf.c into this file to
work around this problem.
Added CONTROL device that only does user-ioctl and nothing else;
Added protection so user-ioctl requires write access;
Clean up scsiconf.h a little. It needs more work.

function calls. Broken tracking of open partitions gets fixed as a side
effect. Races in sdopen() and sdioctl() become more numerous than before.
Close the device in sdsize(). Media removal could not have worked right
when unused swap devices were held open. There may now be a problem
with used swap devices not being held open.
Fix ancient operator precedence bug in sddump(). It may have been
possible to attempt dumping to unloaded media.
Remove NetBSD ifdefs. We're too different now, and the NetBSD driver was
already too different for them to be relevant.
Remove support for soft write protection. There are no ioctls to set it,
and this driver never set it either. It was used in the wd driver to
disable writing to unlabelled disk, but we want to support writing to
foreign partitions on unlabeled disks.
Clean up some formatting and restore some old-style function headers.

Fix it so that calls to extend_get won't dereference 0 when "swap

This probably really fixes Poul's "boot with no SCSI" problem.
tape drive. I traced it to sys/scsi/scsi_base.c where some code were added
to print the return values of the sense command. My tape drive returned a
extended flags value of 0x20, so the key that is the lower 4 bits, is 0.
The code uses "key-1" to index into a table and then the kernel go to never-
never land.
Here is a fix for this. Will somebody please apply it?

Reenabled "SCIOCOMAND" ioctl.
Restructured so low level drivers can easily request retries.
Added preliminary fixed SCSI devices (should be revisited before 2.1)
Added "ssc" device that can have its' (HBA, ID, LUN) set via ioctl.
Change the sc_link structure from 8 targets with 8 lun's to
16 targets with 8 lun's. Wide scsi and the ncr 825 does support 16 targets.
scsiconf.c:
move the addition of the trailing NUL's out of a then clause, they are also
needed in the else clause for an unknown device.

this to be coupled with the adapter specification in the config file,

Changes are only effective, if NEW_SCSICONF is defined:
1) Added u_int16 quirks to struct scsi_link for device quirks.
2) Added void *devmodes to struct scsi_link for tape density modes.
3) Modified selectdev() to return first full match (with wildcard).
With this patch all device dependent configuration is done in one place
(scsiconf.c), while there were some specifications in st.c and some
hardware dependent drivers (ie. ncr.c) before.

``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:

mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf

cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL

1) check va before clearing the page clean flag. Not doing so was
causing the vnode pager error 5 messages when paging from
NFS. (pmap.c)
2) put back interrupt protection in idle_loop. Bruce didn't think
it was necessary, John insists that it is (and I agree). (swtch.s)
3) various improvements to the clustering code (vm_machdep.c). It's
now enabled/used by default.
4) bad disk blocks are now handled properly when doing clustered IOs.
(wd.c, vm_machdep.c)
5) bogus bad block handling fixed in wd.c.
6) algorithm improvements to the pageout/pagescan daemons. It's amazing
how well 4MB machines work now.
1) fixed some bugs related to the bounce buffer code
2) vnode pager now supports clustered pageouts

Subject: SCSI timeout in sdopen()
Date: Sun, 6 Feb 1994 21:40:48 GMT
Index: sys FreeBSD-current
Reference: FreeBSD-current/sys/9
Description:
sdopen() times out on slow SCSI devices. This code was moved into
a different file, which might explain why it got missed again.
Repeat-By:
using slow SCSI disks
cd.c:
Initialize channel info in CDIOCSETVOL ioctl.
Correct CDIOCSTOP and CDIOCEJCET ioctls to use scsi_stop_unit
instead of scsi_start_unit.
Add CDIOCALLOW and CDIOCPREVENT ioctls.
ch.h:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
scsi_base.c:
Add scsi_stop_unit routine.
sd.c:
Add mising indirection through sc_link to sd_get_parms routine
when checking for media loaded.
st.c:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
Clear the SDEV_WAITING flag in ststart if we do the wakeup call.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
Here is the fix for the 'hanging' bug.
This bug happenned whenever two operations were already underway on the
disk and a third (non-IO) command was requested..
in this case the process submitting the NON-IO command was requested to wait,
and a flag set so that on completion of the IO commands, the Non-io command
was given priority over any pending IO commands. (the queue is not
allowed to drain while there are pending "special" ops).
The flag that indicated this was not being reset, so further IO commands
were prohibited from that moment on.

Some tapes won't do anything until you tell them to load.
Other tapes think that being asked to load is a great excuse to
make the next command return a "unit attention" (media changed) error.
Since we need to do the load, throw in a dummy instruction to cop the
error.

1/ fix bug where cd0a was unusable because it was compared against
the number of 2k blocks not the number of 512byte blocks.. gave
an error for all reads past 1/4 way through the disk (cd0d was ok).
2/ fix open code so that it now notices if a disk has been changed
and updates the disklabel.
3/ use the new error handling code from st.c
4/ start adding stuff to get ready for using cd_scsi_cmd from
cd_start (like is done in st and sd)
5/ more general cleanups including making dmesg report
sector size of disk.. (believe it or not SUN drives use 512 byte)

will never run out of units (okay, so now we need 32 bit device major/minor
