freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

Logical volumes on these devices show up as LUNs behind another controller (also known as proxy controller). In order to issue firmware commands for a volume on a proxy controller, they must be targeted at the address of the proxy controller it is attached to, not the Host/PCI controller. A proxy controller is defined as a device listed in the INQUIRY PHYSICAL LUNS command who's L2 and L3 SCSI addresses are zero. The corresponding address returned defines which "bus" the controller lives on and we use this to create a virtual CAM bus. A logical volume's addresses first byte defines the logical drive number. The second byte defines the bus that it is attached to which corresponds to the BUS of the proxy controller's found or the Host/PCI controller. Change event notification to be handled in its own kernel thread. This is needed since some events may require the driver to sleep on some operations and this cannot be done during interrupt context. With this change, it is now possible to create and destroy logical volumes from FreeBSD, but it requires a native application to construct the proper firmware commands which is not publicly available. Special thanks to John Cagle @ HP for providing remote access to all the hardware and beating on the storage engineers at HP to answer my questions. |

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/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/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 might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/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.
