Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
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.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
Change the argument to disk_destroy() to be the same struct disk * as
disk_create() takes.
This enables drivers to ignore the (now) bogus dev_t which disk_create()
returns.
and predictable way, and I apologize if I have gotten it wrong anywhere,
getting prior review on a patch like this is not feasible, considering
the number of people involved and hardware availability etc.)
If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no

Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

this version include:
- Support for version 2.x firmware (2.42 or later recommended). This
means we are the only open-source driver supporting these adapters.
This code has only been tested on a Digital KZPCA adapter in an Alpha
system, but is believed to be correct. NOTE: EISA adapters are not
yet supported.
- Support the BIOS/Firmware initialisation handshake protocol. This
allows the driver to bring the card up to operational state even if
the BIOS can't be run (eg. if it's an x86 BIOS in an Alpha system).
- A working command pasthrough interface. This allows a user-space
configuration tool (under development) to issue arbitrary commands
to the controller or to devices in the system.
- Don't keep private copies of some of the data fields from the
ENQUIRY and ENQUIRY2 commands. Instead, standardise on the ENQUIRY2
command for initial adapter information, and keep a copy of the entire
structure. Refer to it where appropriate.
- Move all of the controller description functionality into a new
function. Print lots more controller data if bootverbose is set.
Add knowledge of the DAC960 PR, PT, PTL0 and PRL controllers, rename
the 960PTL -> PTL0 and 1100P -> 1100PVX.
- Correctly terminate an error message.
The controller interface procedures have been reviewed against the
Mylex-supplied documentation; no changes appear necessary at this

and fixing some major bugs.
- Add support for the v5 firmware interface, used by the DAC1164P
(tested) and AcceleRAID 352 (untested but should work). We now cover
all of the Mylex family's protocols except for v2 (used by EISA and
Alpha-compatible cards).
- Fix an accounting bug which resulted in endless 'poll still busy'
messages. In situations of high controller load the count of poll
commands could be incremented without actually successfully launching
a command. This totally removes the accounting for status poll
commnads; it was its own worst enemy.
- Add some simple reentry prevention locks to processing of the waiting
and completed command queues to prevent races which could result in
I/O being done or completed twice (both are fatal). This highlights
a need for simple locking primitives in both the UP and SMP kernels.
- Streamline the handling of command completion to reduce the amount of
redundant work being done. Remove the code which tests for commands
that have gone missing in action; nobody has ever seen one of these
and it wouldn't have worked properly anyhow.
- Handle disconnection of drives from the controller in the detach,
not shutdown method. This avoids problems flushing the cache in
a panic when a drive is mounted.
- Don't call bus_generic_detach when disconnecting drives; it doesn't
actually do anything useful.
- Increment the log message index regardless of whether we actually
retrieved one or not. If we run into a message that we can't fetch,
we don't want to spin endlessly complaining about the fact.
- Don't assume that interrupts will work when we're flushing the
controller. We may think they are enabled, but in eg. a panic
situation the controller may not be able to deliver an interrupt.
The same goes for CD drivers and tape drivers. In systems with mixed IDE
and SCSI, devices in the same priority class will be sorted in attach
order.
Also, the 'CCD' priority is now the 'ARRAY' priority, and a number of
drivers have been modified to use that priority.
This includes the necessary changes to all drivers, except the ATA drivers.
Soren will modify those separately.
This does not include and does not require any change in the devstat
version number, since no known userland applications use the priority
enumerations.

Shift to using the same queueing strategy that the amr driver uses.
Some simple tests indicate that we use about 2% of the CPU at around

PJ cards. This will probably also support the AcceleRAID and
eXtremeRAID cards, but nobody has volunteered one for testing, so I
haven't enabled their PCI device IDs.
Slightly clean up communication between the disk devices and the
controller device as per new practice, and move some more register-
related items int mlxreg.h from mlxvar.h.
Remove some unnecessary read-modify-write operations to the card
control registers; they don't behave like that.
Increase the status polling interval to 10 seconds. It's still possible
to load the card up to the point where a status poll will find the
previous poll still running, but this will reduce the incidence of
complaints.
