function use that for JBOD and Thunderbolt disk write command. Now
we only have one implementation in mfi.
- Fix dumping on Thunderbolt cards. Polled IO commands do not seem to
be normally acknowledged by changing cmd_status to MFI_STAT_OK.
In order to get acknowledgement of the IO is complete, the Thunderbolt
command queue needs to be run through. I added a flag MFI_CMD_SCSI
to indicate this command is being polled and to complete the
Thunderbolt wrapper and indicate the result. This flag needs to be
set in the JBOD case in case if that us using Thunderbolt card.
When in the polling loop check for completed commands.
- Remove mfi_tbolt_is_ldio and just do the check when needed.
- Fix an issue when attaching of disk device happens when a device is
already scheduled to be attached but hasn't attached.
- add a tunable to allow raw disk attachment to CAM via:
hw.mfi.allow_cam_disk_passthrough=1
- fixup aborting of commands (AEN and LD state change). Use a generic
abort function and only wait the command being aborted not both.
Thunderbolt cards don't seem to abort commands so the abort times
out.
them to cleanup and goto out when acknowledging the LD's. Check
for failure on malloc. Remove a couple of extra lines and remove
the spurious return.

ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.

Don't act on events prior to boot or when shutting down.
Add hw.mfi.detect_jbod_change to enable or disable acting
on JBOD type of disks being added on insert and removed on
removing. Switch hw.mfi.msi to 1 by default since it works
better on newer cards.
MFhead_mfi r233016
Release driver lock before taking Giant when deleting children.
Use TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE when items can be deleted. Make code a
little simplier to follow. Fix a couple more style issues.
MFhead_mfi r233620
Update mfi_spare/mfi_array with the actual number of elements
for array_ref and pd. Change these max. #define names to avoid
name space collisions. This will require an update to mfiutil
It avoids mfiutil having to do a magic calculation.
Add a note and #define to state that a "SYSTEM" disk is really
what the firmware calls a "JBOD" drive.
Thanks to the many that helped, LSI for the initial code drop,
mav, delphij, jhb, sbruno that all helped with code and testing.
Specifically, add support for "Drake Skinny" and "ThunderBolt" LSI
cards.
Initial code was supplied by LSI under BSD license. Several improvements
were done by myself. Such things like making it work in a static kernel,
be able to boot of the RAID, performance improvements. I removed some
fairly complicated code that seemed to directly access the disks under
the firmware. It doesn't seem to be needed and significantly slowed
down the performance of the driver and caused tons of sense errors to
be reported.
This code is being checked in this area so others can help me get it into
shape to commit into the FreeBSD tree. Assistance has been volunteered
by iXsystems.
We might want to re-work the JBOD attachment that creates /dev/mfisyspd?
node for each disk.
Performance is faster then prior cards. It works okay with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on amd64 and i386. I recall seeing a use after
free time bug with FreeBSD 8 and a Drake Skinny card with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on.
First task is get all of the new structures to be named in FreeBSD
style format.
Next is probably to deal with the 64bit addressing changes that are
mostly around the #ifdef __amd64__ checks.
Thanks to LSI for providing the initial code.
