support to FreeBSD. A full description of the overall functionality
being added is below. nvmexpress.org defines NVM Express as "an optimized
register interface, command set and feature set fo PCI Express (PCIe)-based
Solid-State Drives (SSDs)."
This commit adds nvme(4) and nvd(4) driver source code and Makefiles
to the tree.
Full NVMe functionality description:
Add nvme(4) and nvd(4) drivers and nvmecontrol(8) for NVM Express (NVMe)
device support.
There will continue to be ongoing work on NVM Express support, but there
is more than enough to allow for evaluation of pre-production NVM Express
devices as well as soliciting feedback. Questions and feedback are welcome.
nvme(4) implements NVMe hardware abstraction and is a provider of NVMe
namespaces. The closest equivalent of an NVMe namespace is a SCSI LUN.
nvd(4) is an NVMe consumer, surfacing NVMe namespaces as GEOM disks.
nvmecontrol(8) is used for NVMe configuration and management.
The following are currently supported:
nvme(4)
- full mandatory NVM command set support
- per-CPU IO queues (enabled by default but configurable)
- per-queue sysctls for statistics and full command/completion queue
dumps for debugging
- registration API for NVMe namespace consumers
- I/O error handling (except for timeoutsee below)
- compilation switches for support back to stable-7
nvd(4)
- BIO_DELETE and BIO_FLUSH (if supported by controller)
- proper BIO_ORDERED handling
nvmecontrol(8)
- devlist: list NVMe controllers and their namespaces
- identify: display controller or namespace identify data in
human-readable or hex format
- perftest: quick and dirty performance test to measure raw
performance of NVMe device without userspace/physio/GEOM
overhead
The following are still work in progress and will be completed over the
next 3-6 months in rough priority order:
- complete man pages
- firmware download and activation
- asynchronous error requests
- command timeout error handling
- controller resets
- nvmecontrol(8) log page retrieval
This has been primarily tested on amd64, with light testing on i386. I
would be happy to provide assistance to anyone interested in porting
this to other architectures, but am not currently planning to do this
work myself. Big-endian and dmamap sync for command/completion queues
are the main areas that would need to be addressed.
The nvme(4) driver currently has references to Chatham, which is an
Intel-developed prototype board which is not fully spec compliant.
These references will all be removed over time.

- Use callout(9) rather than timeout(9).
- Add a mutex as an I/O lock that protects the adapter and is used
for the I/O path.
- Add an sx lock as a configuration lock that protects the relationship
of configured volumes.
- Freeze the request queue when a DMA load is deferred with EINPROGRESS
and unfreeze the queue when the DMA callback is invoked.
- Explicitly poll the hardware while waiting to submit a command to
allow completed commands to free up slots in the command ring.
- Remove driver-wide 'initted' variable from mlx_*_fw_handshake() routines.
That state should be per-controller instead. Add it as an argument
since the first caller knows when it is the first caller.
- Remove explicit bus_space tag/handle and use bus_*() rather than
bus_space_*().
- Move duplicated PCI device ID probing into a mlx_pci_match() routine.
- Don't check for PCIM_CMD_MEMEN (the PCI bus will enable that when
allocating the resource) and use pci_enable_busmaster() rather than
manipulating the register directly.
Tested by: no one despite multiple requests (hope it works)
These are intended for software TX filtering support, where the NIC
decides there has been too many successive failues to a destination
and will filter it.
Although the filtering is done per-destination (via the keycache),
the state and queue is kept per-TID for now. It simplifies the overall
architecture design and locking.
Whilst here, add ATH_TID_UNLOCK_ASSERT().
* Don't treat high percentage failures as "sucessive failures" - high
MCS rates are very picky and will quite happily "fade" from low
to high failure % and back again within a few seconds. If they really
don't work, the aggregate will just plain fail.
* Only sample MCS rates +/- 3 from the current MCS. Sample will back off
quite quickly, so there's no need to sample _all_ MCS rates between
a high MCS rate and MCS0; there may be a lot of them.
* Modify the smoothing rate to be 75% rather than 95% - it's more adaptive
but it comes with a cost of being slightly less stable at times.
A per-node, hysterisis behaviour would be nicer.
(download microcode with offsets, save, and activate).
SATI translation layer was incorrectly using allocation length instead
of blocks, and was constructing the ATA command incorrectly.
Also change #define to specify that the 512 block size here is
specific for DOWNLOAD_MICROCODE, and does not relate to the device's
logical block size.

Generally this check is not needed anymore, as there is not a legitimate
case where curthread != NULL, after pcpu 0 area has been properly
initialized.

- Add constants for the rest of the fields in the PCI-express device
capability and control registers.
- Tweak some of the recently added PCI-e capability constants (always
use hex for offsets in config space, and include a shortened
version of the relevant register in the name of field constants).

I'm not sure where in the deep, distant past I found the AR_PHY_MODE
registers for half/quarter rate mode, but unfortunately that doesn't
seem to work "right" for non-AR9280 chips.
Specifically:
* don't touch AR_PHY_MODE
* set the PLL bits when configuring half/quarter rate
I've verified this on the AR9280 (5ghz fast clock) and the AR5416.
The AR9280 works in both half/quarter rate; the AR5416 unfortunately
only currently works at half rate. It fails to calibrate on quarter rate.
No, this isn't HT/5 and HT/10 support. This is the 11a half/quarter
rate support primarily used by the 4.9GHz and GSM band regulatory
domains.
This is definitely a work in progress.
TODO:
* everything in the last commit;
* lots more interoperability testing with the AR5212 half/quarter rate
support for the relevant chips;
* Do some interop testing on half/quarter rate support between _all_
the 11n chips - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280 (and AR9285/AR9287 when 2GHz
half/quarter rate support is coded up.)
used when running the chips in half/quarter rate.
This sets up some default parameters which are then overridden by the
driver (which manually configures things like slot timing at interface
start time.)
Although this is a copy-and-modify from the AR5212 HAL, I did peek
at the reference HAL and the ath9k driver to see what they did.
Ath9k in particular doesn't hard-code this - instead, their version
of ar5416InitUserSettings() does all of the relevant math.
TODO:
* do the math, not hard code things!
* fix the mac clock calculation for the AR9287; since it runs the
MAC clock at a higher rate, requiring all the duration calculations
to change;
* Do a whole lot more validation for half/quarter rates.

Some of the math is a little wrong thanks to clocks in 11a mode running
at 44MHz when in fast clock mode (rather than 40MHz, which the chips
before AR9280 ran 11a in). That'll have to be addressed in a future commit.
This fixes the incorrect slot (and likely ACK/RTS timeout) values
which I see when enabling half/quarter rate support on the AR9280.
The resulting math matches the expected calculated default values.
of the DWC OTG is very simple in PIO mode, and we need to re-transmit
data when NAK is received among other things. We probably will need
to implement some kind of rate limitation on the NAK-ing.
drivers:
- Remove scsi_low_pisa.*, they were unused.
- Remove <compat/netbsd/physio_proc.h> and calls to the stubs in that
header. They were empty nops.
- Retire sl_xname and use device_get_nameunit() and device_printf() with
the underlying device_t instead.
- Remove unused {ct,ncv,nsp,stg}print() functions.
- Remove empty SOFT_INTR_REQUIRED() macro and the unused sl_irq member.
