mpt.h:
Add support for reading extended configuration pages.
mpt_cam.c:
Do a top level topology scan on the SAS controller. If any SATA
device are discovered in this scan, send a passthrough FIS to set
the write cache. This is controllable through the following
tunable at boot:
hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc:
-1 = Do not configure, use the controller default
0 = Disable the write cache
1 = Enable the write cache
The default is -1. This tunable is just a hack and may be
deprecated in the future.
Turning on the write cache alleviates the write performance problems with
SATA that many people have observed. It is not recommend for those who
value data reliability! I cannot stress this strongly enough. However,
it is useful in certain circumstances, and it brings the performence in line
with what a generic SATA controller running under the FreeBSD ATA driver
provides (and the ATA driver has had the WC enabled by default for years).
use to synchornize and protect all data objects that are used for that
SIM. Drivers that are not yet MPSAFE register Giant and operate as
usual. RIght now, no drivers are MPSAFE, though a few will be changed
in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.
attachment of new devices that arrive (and we notice them
via async Fibre Channel events). We've always had the
right thing (of sorts) happen when devices go away- this
is the corollary function that makes multipath failover
actually work.

read wasn't flagging the SYNC mode was enabled. The temp
values for offset and sync period were uint8_t, but were
being assigned and shifted from a uint32_t value.
This didn't show up in testing because a random number
of 1030 cards set a bit that says "honor BIOS negotiation",
which means this whole code path was skipped.
This should clear up at least some of the negotation
issues that have been seen.
Fix things to use the LSI-Logic Fusion Library mask and shift names for
offset and sync, no matter how awkward they are, in preference to just
plain numbers.
This allows us to play nicely on SANs when we have target mode
enabled in f/w but have neither the scsi_targbh enabled or
scsi_targ with a target enabled.
the CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE that has been in the tree for some years now.
This first step consists solely of adding to or correcting
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE pieces in the kernel source tree such
that a both a GENERIC (at least on i386) and a LINT build
with CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE as an option will compile correctly
and run (at least with some the h/w I have).
After a short settle time, the other pieces (making
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE the default and updating libcam
and camcontrol) will be brought in.
This will be an incompatible change in that the size of structures
related to XPT_PATH_INQ and XPT_{GET,SET}_TRAN_SETTINGS change
in both size and content. However, basic system operation and
basic system utilities work well enough with this change.

Unfortunately, the QUEUE FULL event only tells you Bus && Target.
It doesn't tell you lun. In order for the XPT_REL_SIMQ action to
work, we have to have a real lun. But which one? For now, just
iterate over MPT_MAX_LUNS.
Practically speaking, this is only going to be happening for lower
quality SAS or SATA drives behind the SAS controller, which means
only lun 0, so it's not so bad.

is to able to be called after *all* attach and enable events are done.
We establish a SYSINIT hook to call this handler. The current usage for it
is to add scsi target resources *after* all enables are done. There seems
to be some dependencies between different halves of a dual-port with respect
to target mode.
Put in more meaningful event messages for some events- in particular
QUEUE FULL events so we can see what the queue depth was when the
IOC sent us this message.

desired role configuration instead of existing role. This gets
us out of the mess where we configured a role of NONE (or were
LAN only, for example), but didn't continue to attach the CAM
module (because we had neither initiator nor target role
set). Unfortunately, the code that rewrites NVRAM to match
actual to desired role only works if the CAM module attaches.

mark it as timed out. Don't try and free the config
request for read_cfg_header that times out because
it's still active. Put in code for the config reply
handler that will then free up timed out requests.
Fix the FC_PRIMITIVE_SEND completion to not try
and free a command twice. Dunno how this possibly
could have been working for awhile.

out ELS buffers but *don't* hang out commands,
we hang folks on the SAN because the LSI-Logic
f/w apparently sends back BUSY or QFULL or some
darn thing.
If we add command buffers, we have to respond to
them sensibly even if we don't have any upstream
listeners (scsi_targ or scsi_targ_bh), so put in
some local command reponse stuff.

actually go write the config page. This fixes the long standing
problem about updating NVRAM on Fibre Channel cards and seems
so far to not break SPI config page writes.
Put back role setting into mpt. That is, you can set a desired role
for mpt as a hint. On the next reboot, it'll pick that up and redo
the NVRAM settings appropriately and warn you that this won't take
effect until the next reboot. This saves people the step of having
to find a BIOS utilities disk to set target and/or initiator role
for the MPT cards.
