freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues
5d57194434
---- Make a device for each ISP- really usable only with devfs and add an ioctl entry point (this can be used to (re)set debug levels, reset the HBA, rescan the fabric, issue lips, etc). ---- Add in a kernel thread for Fibre Channel cards. The purpose of this thread is to be woken up to clean up after Fibre Channel events block things. Basically, any FC event that casts doubt on the location or identify of FC devices blocks the queues. When, and if, we get the PORT DATABASE CHANGED or NAME SERVER DATABASE CHANGED async event, we activate the kthread which will then, in full thread context, re-evaluate the local loop and/or the fabric. When it's satisfied that things are stable, it can then release the blocked queues and let commands flow again. The prior mechanism was a lazy evaluation. That is, the next command to come down the pipe after change events would pay the full price for re-evaluation. And if this was done off of a softcall, it really could hang up the system. These changes brings the FreeBSD port more in line with the Solaris, Linux and NetBSD ports. It also, more importantly, gets us being more proactive about topology changes which could then be reflected upwards to CAM so that the periph driver can be informed sooner rather than later when things arrive or depart. --- Add in the (correct) usage of locking macros- we now have lock transition macros which allow us to transition from holding the CAM lock (Giant) and grabbing the softc lock and vice versa. Switch over to having this HBA do real locking. Some folks claim this won't be a win. They're right. But you have to start somewhere, and this will begin to teach us how to DTRT for HBAs, etc. -- Start putting in prototype 2300 support. Add back in LIP and Loop Reset as async events that each platform will handle. Add in another int_bogus instrumentation point. Do some more substantial target mode cleanups. MFC after: 8 weeks |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
