changes is that there's now a Solaris port of this driver, so some things
in the core version had to change (not much, but some).
In order, from the top.....:
A lot of error strings are gathered in one place at the head of the file.
This caused me to rewrite them to look consistent (with respect to
things like 'Port 0x%' and 'Target %d' and 'Loop ID 0x%x'.
The major mailbox function, isp_mboxcmd, now takes a third argument,
which is a mask that selectively says whether mailbox command failures
will be logged. This will substantially reduce a lot of spurious noise
from the driver.
At the first run through isp_reset we used to try and get the current
running firmware's revision by issuing a mailbox command. This would
invariably fail on alpha's with anything but a Qlogic 1040 since SRM
doesn't *start* the f/w on these cards. Instead, we now see whether we're
sitting ROM state before trying to get a running BIOS loaded f/w version.
All CFGPRINTF/PRINTF/IDPRINTF macros have been replaced with calls to
isp_prt. There are seperate print levels that can be independently
set (see ispvar.h), which include debugging, etc.
All SYS_DELAY macros are now USEC_DELAY macros. RQUEST_QUEUE_LEN and
RESULT_QUEUE_LEN now take ispsoftc as a parameter- the Fibre Channel
cards and the Ultra2/Ultra3 cards can have 16 bit request queue entry
indices, so we can make a 1024 entry index for them instead of the
256 entries we've had until now.
A major change it to fix isp_fclink_test to actually only wait the
delay of time specified in the microsecond argument being passed.
The problem has always been that a call to isp_mboxcmd to get he
current firmware state takes an unknown (sometimes long) amount of
time- this is if the firmware is busy doing PLOGIs while we ask
it what's up. So, up until now, the usdelay argument has been
a joke. The net effect has been that if you boot without being plugged
into a good loop or into a switch, you hang. Massively annonying, and
hard to fix because the actual time delta was impossible to know
from just guessing. Now, using the new GET_NANOTIME macros, a precise
and measured amount of USEC_DELAY calls are done so that only the
specified usecdelay is allowed to pass. This means that if the initial
startup of the firmware if followed by a call from isp_freebsd.c:isp_attach
to isp_control(isp, ISP_FCLINK_TEST, &tdelay) where tdelay is 2 * 1000000,
no more than two seconds will actually elapse before we leave concluding
that the cable is unhooked. Jeez. About time....
Change the ispscsicmd entry point to isp_start, and the XS_CMD_DONE
macro to a call to the platform supplied isp_done (sane naming).
Limit our size of request queue completions we'll look at at interrupt
time. Since we've increased the size of the Request Queue (and the
size of the Response Queue proportionally), let's not create an
interrupt stack overflow by having to keep a max completion list
(forw links are not an option because this is common code with
some platforms that don't have link space in their XS_T structures).
A limit of 32 is not unreasonable- I doubt there'd be even this many
request queue completions at a time- remember, most boards now use
fast posting for normal command completion instead of filling out
response queue entries.
In the isp_mboxcmd cleanup, also create an array of command
names so that "ABOUT FIRMWARE" can be printed instead of "CMD #8".
Remove the isp_lostcmd function- it's been deprecated for a while.

D'oh! Protect calls to isp_pdb_sync and isp_fclink_state with IS_FC

Completely redo mailbox command routine (in preparation to make this
possibly wait rather than poll for completion).
Make a major attempt to solve the 'lost interrupt' problem
1. Problem
The Qlogic cards would appear to 'lose' interrupts, i.e., a legitimate
regular SCSI command placed on the request queue would never complete
and the watchdog routine in the driver would eventually wakeup and
catch it. This would typically only happen on Alphas, although a
couple folks with 700MHz Intel platforms have also seen this.
For a long time I thought it was a foulup with f/w negotiations of
SYNC and/or WIDE as it always seemed to happen right after the
platform it was running on had done a SET TARGET PARAMETERS mailbox
command to (re)enable sync && wide (after initially forcing
ASYNC/NARROW at startup). However, occasionally, the same thing
would also occur for the Fibre Channel cards as well (which, ahem,
have no SET TARGET PARAMETERS for transfer mode).
After finally putting in a better set of watchdog routines for the
platforms for this driver, it seemed to be the case that the command
in question (usually a READ CAPACITY) just had up and died- the
watchdog routine would catch it after ~10 seconds. For some platforms
(NetBSD/OpenBSD)- an ABORT COMMAND mailbox command was sent (which
would always fail- indicating that the f/w denied knowledge of this
command, i.e., the f/w thought it was a done command). In any case,
retrying the command worked. But this whole problem needed to be
really fixed.
2. A False Step That Went in The Right Direction
The mailbox code was completely rewritten to no longer try and grab
the mailbox semaphore register and to try and 'by hand' complete
async fast posting completions. It was also rewritten to now have
separate in && out bitpatterns for registers to load to start and
retrieve to complete. This means that isp_intr now handles mailbox
completions.
This substantially simplifies the mailbox handling code, and carries
things 90% toward getting this to be a non-polled routine for this
driver.
This did not solve the problem, though.
3. Register Debouncing
I saw some comments in some errata sheets and some notes in a Qlogic
produced Linux driver (for the Qlogic 2100) that seemed to indicate
that debouncing of reads of the mailbox registers might be needed,
so I added this. This did not affect the problem. In fact, it made
the problem worse for non-2100 cards.
5. Interrupt masking/unmasking
The driver *used* to do a substantial amount of masking/unmasking
of the interrupt control register. This was done to make sure that
the core common code could just assume it would never get pre-empted.
This apparently substantially contributed to the lost interrupt
problem. The rewrite of the ICR (Interrupt Control Register),
which is a separate register from the ISR (Interrupt Status Register)
should not have caused any change to interrupt assertions pending.
The manual does not state that it will, and the register layout
seems to imply that the ICR is just an active route gate. We only
enable PCI Interrupts and RISC Interrupts- this should mean that
when the f/w asserts a RISC interrupt and (and the ICR allows RISC
Interrupts) and we have PCI Interrupts enabled, we should get a
PCI interrupt. Apparently this is a latch- not a signal route.
Removing this got rid of *most* but not all, lost interrupts.
5. Watchdog Smartening
I made sure that the watchdog routine would catch cases where the
Qlogic's ISR showed an interrupt assertion. The watchdog routine
now calls the interrupt service routine if it sees this. Some
additional internal state flags were added so that the watchdog
routine could then know whether the command it was in the middle
of burying (because we had time it out) was in fact completed by
the interrupt service routine.
6. Occasional Constipation Of Commands..
In running some very strenous high IOPs tests (generating about
11000 interrupts/second across one Qlogic 1040, one Qlogic 1080
and one Qlogic 2200 on an Alpha PC164), I found that I would get
occasional but regular 'watchdog timeouts' on both the 1080 and
the 2100 cards. This is under FreeBSD, and the watchdog timeout
routine just marks the command in error and retries it.
Invariably, right after this 'watchdog timeout' error, I'd get a
command completion for the command that I had thought timed out.
That is, I'd get a command completion, but the handle returned by
the firmware mapped to no current command. The frequency of this
problem is low under such a load- it would usually take an 30
minutes per 'lost' interrupt.
I doubled the timeout for commands to see if it just was an edge
case of waiting too short a period. This has no effect.
I gathered and printed out microtimes for the watchdog completed
command and the completion that couldn't find a command- it was
always the case that the order of occurrence was "timeout, completion"
separated by a time on the order of 100 to 150 ms.
This caused me to consider 'firmware constipation' as to be a
possible culprit. That is, resubmission of a command to the device
that had suffered a watchdog timeout seemed to cause the presumed
dead command to show back up.
I added code in the watchdog routine that, when first entered for
the command, marks the command with a flag, reissues a local timeout
call for one second later, but also then issues a MARKER Request
Queue entry to the Qlogic f/w. A MARKER entry is used typically
after a Bus Reset to cause the f/w to get synchronized with respect
to either a Bus, a Nexus or a Target.
Since I've added this code, I always now see the occasional watchdog
timeout, but the command that was about to be terminated always
now seems to be completed after the MARKER entry is issued (and
before the timeout extension fires, which would come back and
*really* terminate the command).
through, establish what our LUN width is. Unfortunately, we can't ask
the f/w. If we loaded the f/w, we'll now assume we have expanded LUNs
(SCCLUN for fibre channel, just plain 32 LUN for SCSI). If we didn't
load firmware, assume 8 LUNs for SCSI and 1 LUN for Fibre Channel. We
have to assume only one LUN for Fibre Channel because the LUN setting
in Request Queue entries is in different places whether we have SCCLUN
firmware or not, so the only LUN guaranteed to work for both is LUN 0.
Clean up the rest of isp.c so that ISP2100_SCCLUN defines aren't used-
instead use run time determinants based upon isp->isp_maxluns.
After starting firmware, delay 500us to give it a chance to get rolling.
Fix the interrupt service routine to check for both isr && sema being zero
before thinking this was a spurious interrupt. Following the manuals,
allow for both Mailbox as well as Queue Reponse type interrupts for regular
SCSI.
changes: consider a new PDB entry different if Class 3 service parameter
roles change (!!!). Do some checking as we're getting a port database
that traps whether things change while we're doing so. Handle N-port
and F-ports correctly. Fix the fabric login loop to retain a login/binding
if things haven't changed (I mean, why logout a device only to log it back
in). No longer accept, after fabric logins, garbage if we can't get a PDB
entry that matches the device we've just logged into- if it doesn't, log
it out as it is very unlikely to still be what we thought it was. Get rid
of some of the debounce loops because we could get stuck there.
where we can have targets (based on topology).
Much more importantly, make sure all mods to isp_sendmarker or |= so
we don't lose the marking of a bus that needs to have a marker sent for it.

Fix a longstanding bug for aborting overtime commands- handle halves

Clean up some error messages to indicate channel number.

Endian machines but is needed for sparc (on other platforms)). Move
the temp port database we use to find out where things have moved to
after a LIP to the softc and off the kernel stack. Follow Qlogic's
hint and don't bother setting a tag for commands that don't have
this enabled (presumably the f/w will do it's own selection then).
Use an INT_PENDING macro to check for an interrupt. The call to
ISP_DMAFREE now just takes the handle- not the 'handle-1' which was
a layering violation. Use CFGPRINTF in a couple of places to make
things less chatty if not booting verbose, or CAMDEBUG compiles, etc..
not having SCSI_ISP_SCCLUN config defined if we don't have f/w for
the 2200- it's resident firmware uses SCCLUN (65535 luns)). Change
the way the default LoopID is gathered (it's now a platform specific
define so that some attempt at a synthetic WWN can be made in case
NVRAM isn't readable).
Change initialization of options a bit- don't use ADISC. Set
FullDuplex mode if config options tells us to do so. Do not use
FULL_LOGIN after LIP- it's the right thing to do but it causes too
much loop disruption (Loop Resets). Sanity check some default
values. Redo construction of port and node WWNs based upon what we
have- if we have 2 in the top nibble, we can have distinct port
and node WWNs. Clean up some SCCLUN related code that we obviously
had never compiled (:-(). Audit commands coming int ispscsicmd and
don't throw commands at Fibre devices that do not have Class 3
service parameters TARGET ROLE defined.
Clean up f/w initialization a bit. Add Fabric support (or at least
the first blush of it). Whew - way too much to describe here.
Basically, after a LIP, hang out until we see a Loop Up or a Port
DataBase Change async event, then see if we're on a Fabric
(GET_PORT_NAME of FL_PORT_ID). If we are, try and scan the fabric
controller for fabric devices using the GetAllNext SNS subcommand.
As we find devices, announce them to the outer layer. Try and do
some guard code for broken (Brocade) SNS servers (that get stuck
in loops- gotta maybe do this a different way using the GP_ID3 cmd
instead). Then do a scan of the lower (local loop) ids using a
GET_PORT_NAME to see if the f/w has logged into anything at that
loop id. If so, then do a GET_PORT_DATABASE command. Do this scan
into a local database. At this point we can say the loop is 'Ready'.
After this, we merge our local loop port database with our stored
port database- in a as yet to be really fully exercised fashion we
try and follow the logic of something having moved around. The
first time we see something at a Loop ID, we fix it, for the purpose
of this system instance, at that Loop ID. If things shift around
so it ends up somewhere else, we still keep it at this Loop ID (our
'Target') but use the new (moved) Loop ID when we actually throw
commands at it. Check for insane cases of different Loop IDs both
claiming to have the same WWN- if that happens, invalidate both.
Notify the outer layer of devices that have arrived and devices
that have gone away. *Finally*, when this is done, search the
softc's database of Fabric devices and perform logout/login actions.
The Qlogic f/w maintains logout/login for all local loop devices.
We have to maintain logout/login for fabric devices- total PITA.
Expect to see this area undergo more change over time.
