It could be used for broad range of tasks, such as configuring drive
power management modes, caching, security and any other features and tasks,
not supported by existing drivers.
modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

REPORT LUNS command to a device.
camcontrol.[c8]: Implement reportluns. This tries to print the LUNs
out in a reasonable format. Only the periph
addressing method has been tested, since very little
hardware that I know of supports the other methods.
scsi_all.[ch]: Revamp the report luns CDB structure and helper
functions. This constitutes a little bit of an API
change, but since the old CDB length was 10 bytes,
and the REPORT LUNS CDB length is actually 12 bytes,
it's clear that no one was using this API in the
first place.

camcontrol.
This enables rescanning all busses or resetting all busses in a system.
The current implementation is not the ideal way to do it -- the ideal way
to do it would be for the transport layer to handle wildcarded busses on
bus rescan and reset operations. The current implementation enumerates all
the busses and sends a rescan or reset CCB individually. Handling this
behavior in the transport layer will happen later.

related patches. These include:
* Mode page editting can be scripted. This involves two
things: first, if stdin is not a tty, changes are read from
stdin rather than invoking $EDITOR. Second, and more
importantly, not all modepage entries must be included in the
change set. This means that camcontrol can now gracefully handle
more intrusive editting from the $EDITOR, including removal or
rearrangement of lines. It also means that you can do stuff
like:
# echo "WCE: 1" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
# newfs /dev/da3
# echo "WCE: 0" | camcontrol modepage da3 -m 8 -e
* Range-checking on user-supplied input values. modeedit.c now
uses the field width specifiers to determine the maximum
allowable value for a field. If the user enters a value larger
than the maximum, it clips the value to the max and warns the
user. This also involved patching cam_cmdparse.c to be more
consistent with regards to the "count" parameter to arg_put
(previously is was the length of strings and 1 for all integral
types). The cam_cdbparse(3) man page was also updated to reflect
the revised semantics.
* In the process, I removed the 64 entry limit on mode pages (not
that we were even close to hitting that limit). This was a nice
side-effect of the other changes.
* Technically, the new mode editting functionality allows editting
of character array entries in mode pages (type 'c' or 'z'),
however since buff_encode doesn't grok them it is currently
useless.
* Camcontrol gained two new options related to mode pages: -l and
-b. The former lists all available mode pages for a given
device. The latter forces mode page display in binary format
(the default when no mode page definition was found in
scsi_modes).
* Added support for mode page names to scsi_modes. Allows names to
be displayed alongside mode numbers in the mode page
listing. Updated scsi_modes to use the new functionality. This
also adds the semicolon into the scsi_modes syntax as an
optional mode page definition terminator. This is needed to name
pages without providing a page format definition.
* Updated scsi_all.h to include a structure describing mode page
headers.
* Added $FreeBSD$ line to scsi_modes.

This may break some scripts, but with the number of ways users can damage

libcam/Makefile: Add scsi_da.c to libcam for the new
scsi_format_unit() function.
camcontrol.8: Update the man page for the new format
functionality, and take out the examples section
describing how to do it with 'camcontrol cmd'.
camcontrol.c: New format functionality. Note that unlike the
rest of the camcontrol subcommands, this one is
interactive by default. Because of the potential
destructiveness of the format command, I thought
it necessary to get confirmation from the user
before spamming a disk. You can disable the
interactive behavior, and the status meter with
command line arguments.
scsi_da.c: Add the new scsi_format_unit() cdb building
function and use #ifdef _KERNEL to make this file
compile in both the kernel and userland. The
format unit function is currently only defined in
the non-kernel case, because nothing in the kernel
is using it. If that changes, it should be
un-ifdefed and compiled in both cases.
scsi_da.h: New function declaration, CDB structure and format
data structures.

These changes are fully backwards compatible with the original device
specification syntax (-n dev -u unit), so it is possible to use either
method to specify a device now.
The device specification changes do not affect the rescan, reset or debug
commands, since by design, those commands work on a bus or bus:target:lun
basis only.
Also, shorten the default usage statement so that it fits in a 24 column
terminal. The full usage statement is still available by using the "help"
"-h" or "-?" arguments to camcontrol.

camcontrol.[c8]:
- We now support two new commands, "tags" and "negotiate".
- The tags commands allows users to view the number of tagged
openings for a device as well as a number of other related
parameters, and it allows users to set tagged openings for
a device.
- The negotiate command allows users to enable and disable
disconnection and tagged queueing, set sync rates, offsets
and bus width. Note that not all of those features are
available for all controllers. Only the adv, ahc, and ncr
drivers fully support all of the features at this point.
Some cards do not allow the setting of sync rates, offsets and
the like, and some of the drivers don't have any facilities to
do so. Some drivers, like the adw driver, only support enabling
or disabling sync negotiation, but do not support setting sync
rates.
- new description in the camcontrol man page of how to format a disk
- cleanup of the camcontrol inquiry command
- add support in the 'devlist' command for skipping unconfigured devices if
-v was not specified on the command line.
- make use of the new base_transfer_speed in the path inquiry CCB.
- fix CCB bzero cases
cam_xpt.c, cam_sim.[ch], cam_ccb.h:
- new flags on many CCB function codes to designate whether they're
non-immediate, use a user-supplied CCB, and can only be passed from
userland programs via the xpt device. Use these flags in the transport
layer and pass driver to categorize CCBs.
- new flag in the transport layer device matching code for device nodes
that indicates whether a device is unconfigured
- bump the CAM version from 0x10 to 0x11
- Change the CAM ioctls to use the version as their group code, so we can
force users to recompile code even when the CCB size doesn't change.
- add + fill in a new value in the path inquiry CCB, base_transfer_speed.
Remove a corresponding field from the cam_sim structure, and add code to
every SIM to set this field to the proper value.
- Fix the set transfer settings code in the transport layer.
scsi_cd.c:
- make some variables volatile instead of just casting them in various
places
- fix a race condition in the changer code
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error. This should
fix all of the cases where people have devices that return weird errors
when they don't have media in the drive.
scsi_da.c:
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error
scsi_pass.c:
- for immediate CCBs, just malloc a CCB to send the user request in. This
gets rid of the 'held' count problem in camcontrol tags.
scsi_pass.h:
- change the CAM ioctls to use the CAM version as their group code.
adv driver:
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
adw driver
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
aha driver:
- Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
ahc driver:
