This change includes support for SCSI SMR drives (which conform to the
Zoned Block Commands or ZBC spec) and ATA SMR drives (which conform to
the Zoned ATA Command Set or ZAC spec) behind SAS expanders.
This includes full management support through the GEOM BIO interface, and
through a new userland utility, zonectl(8), and through camcontrol(8).
This is now ready for filesystems to use to detect and manage zoned drives.
(There is no work in progress that I know of to use this for ZFS or UFS, if
anyone is interested, let me know and I may have some suggestions.)
Also, improve ATA command passthrough and dispatch support, both via ATA
and ATA passthrough over SCSI.
Also, add support to camcontrol(8) for the ATA Extended Power Conditions
feature set. You can now manage ATA device power states, and set various
idle time thresholds for a drive to enter lower power states.
Note that this change cannot be MFCed in full, because it depends on
changes to the struct bio API that break compatilibity. In order to
avoid breaking the stable API, only changes that don't touch or depend on
the struct bio changes can be merged. For example, the camcontrol(8)
changes don't depend on the new bio API, but zonectl(8) and the probe
changes to the da(4) and ada(4) drivers do depend on it.
Also note that the SMR changes have not yet been tested with an actual
SCSI ZBC device, or a SCSI to ATA translation layer (SAT) that supports
ZBC to ZAC translation. I have not yet gotten a suitable drive or SAT
layer, so any testing help would be appreciated. These changes have been
tested with Seagate Host Aware SATA drives attached to both SAS and SATA
controllers. Also, I do not have any SATA Host Managed devices, and I
suspect that it may take additional (hopefully minor) changes to support
them.
Thanks to Seagate for supplying the test hardware and answering questions.
sbin/camcontrol/Makefile:
Add epc.c and zone.c.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.8:
Document the zone and epc subcommands.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Add the zone and epc subcommands.
Add auxiliary register support to build_ata_cmd(). Make sure to
set the CAM_ATAIO_NEEDRESULT, CAM_ATAIO_DMA, and CAM_ATAIO_FPDMA
flags as appropriate for ATA commands.
Add a new get_ata_status() function to parse ATA result from SCSI
sense descriptors (for ATA passthrough over SCSI) and ATA I/O
requests.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Update the build_ata_cmd() prototype
Add get_ata_status(), zone(), and epc().
sbin/camcontrol/epc.c:
Support for ATA Extended Power Conditions features. This includes
support for all features documented in the ACS-4 Revision 12
specification from t13.org (dated February 18, 2016).
The EPC feature set allows putting a drive into a power power mode
immediately, or setting timeouts so that the drive will
automatically enter progressively lower power states after various
idle times.
sbin/camcontrol/fwdownload.c:
Update the firmware download code for the new build_ata_cmd()
arguments.
sbin/camcontrol/zone.c:
Implement support for Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives
via SCSI Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and ATA Zoned Device ATA
Command Set (ZAC).
These specs were developed in concert, and are functionally
identical. The primary differences are due to SCSI and ATA
differences. (SCSI is big endian, ATA is little endian, for
example.)
This includes support for all commands defined in the ZBC and
ZAC specs.
sys/cam/ata/ata_all.c:
Decode a number of additional ATA command names in ata_op_string().
Add a new CCB building function, ata_read_log().
Add ata_zac_mgmt_in() and ata_zac_mgmt_out() CCB building
functions. These support both DMA and NCQ encapsulation.
sys/cam/ata/ata_all.h:
Add prototypes for ata_read_log(), ata_zac_mgmt_out(), and
ata_zac_mgmt_in().
sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c:
Revamp the ada(4) driver to support zoned devices.
Add four new probe states to gather information needed for zone
support.
Add a new adasetflags() function to avoid duplication of large
blocks of flag setting between the async handler and register
functions.
Add new sysctl variables that describe zone support and paramters.
Add support for the new BIO_ZONE bio, and all of its subcommands:
DISK_ZONE_OPEN, DISK_ZONE_CLOSE, DISK_ZONE_FINISH, DISK_ZONE_RWP,
DISK_ZONE_REPORT_ZONES, and DISK_ZONE_GET_PARAMS.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add command descriptions for the ZBC IN/OUT commands.
Add descriptions for ZBC Host Managed devices.
Add a new function, scsi_ata_pass() to do ATA passthrough over
SCSI. This will eventually replace scsi_ata_pass_16() -- it
can create the 12, 16, and 32-byte variants of the ATA
PASS-THROUGH command, and supports setting all of the
registers defined as of SAT-4, Revision 5 (March 11, 2016).
Change scsi_ata_identify() to use scsi_ata_pass() instead of
scsi_ata_pass_16().
Add a new scsi_ata_read_log() function to facilitate reading
ATA logs via SCSI.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add the new ATA PASS-THROUGH(32) command CDB. Add extended and
variable CDB opcodes.
Add Zoned Block Device Characteristics VPD page.
Add ATA Return SCSI sense descriptor.
Add prototypes for scsi_ata_read_log() and scsi_ata_pass().
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:
Revamp the da(4) driver to support zoned devices.
Add five new probe states, four of which are needed for ATA
devices.
Add five new sysctl variables that describe zone support and
parameters.
The da(4) driver supports SCSI ZBC devices, as well as ATA ZAC
devices when they are attached via a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT)
layer. Since ZBC -> ZAC translation is a new feature in the T10
SAT-4 spec, most SATA drives will be supported via ATA commands
sent via the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command. The da(4) driver will
prefer the ZBC interface, if it is available, for performance
reasons, but will use the ATA PASS-THROUGH interface to the ZAC
command set if the SAT layer doesn't support translation yet.
As I mentioned above, ZBC command support is untested.
Add support for the new BIO_ZONE bio, and all of its subcommands:
DISK_ZONE_OPEN, DISK_ZONE_CLOSE, DISK_ZONE_FINISH, DISK_ZONE_RWP,
DISK_ZONE_REPORT_ZONES, and DISK_ZONE_GET_PARAMS.
Add scsi_zbc_in() and scsi_zbc_out() CCB building functions.
Add scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_out() and scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_in() CCB/CDB
building functions. Note that these have return values, unlike
almost all other CCB building functions in CAM. The reason is
that they can fail, depending upon the particular combination
of input parameters. The primary failure case is if the user
wants NCQ, but fails to specify additional CDB storage. NCQ
requires using the 32-byte version of the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH
command, and the current CAM CDB size is 16 bytes.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.h:
Add ZBC IN and ZBC OUT CDBs and opcodes.
Add SCSI Report Zones data structures.
Add scsi_zbc_in(), scsi_zbc_out(), scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_out(), and
scsi_ata_zac_mgmt_in() prototypes.
sys/dev/ahci/ahci.c:
Fix SEND / RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED in the ahci(4) driver.
ahci_setup_fis() previously set the top bits of the sector count
register in the FIS to 0 for FPDMA commands. This is okay for
read and write, because the PRIO field is in the only thing in
those bits, and we don't implement that further up the stack.
But, for SEND and RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED, the subcommand is in that
byte, so it needs to be transmitted to the drive.
In ahci_setup_fis(), always set the the top 8 bits of the
sector count register. We need it in both the standard
and NCQ / FPDMA cases.
sys/geom/eli/g_eli.c:
Pass BIO_ZONE commands through the GELI class.
sys/geom/geom.h:
Add g_io_zonecmd() prototype.
sys/geom/geom_dev.c:
Add new DIOCZONECMD ioctl, which allows sending zone commands to
disks.
sys/geom/geom_disk.c:
Add support for BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/geom/geom_disk.h:
Add a new flag, DISKFLAG_CANZONE, that indicates that a given
GEOM disk client can handle BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/geom/geom_io.c:
Add a new function, g_io_zonecmd(), that handles execution of
BIO_ZONE commands.
Add permissions check for BIO_ZONE commands.
Add command decoding for BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/geom/geom_subr.c:
Add DDB command decoding for BIO_ZONE commands.
sys/kern/subr_devstat.c:
Record statistics for REPORT ZONES commands. Note that the
number of bytes transferred for REPORT ZONES won't quite match
what is received from the harware. This is because we're
necessarily counting bytes coming from the da(4) / ada(4) drivers,
which are using the disk_zone.h interface to communicate up
the stack. The structure sizes it uses are slightly different
than the SCSI and ATA structure sizes.
sys/sys/ata.h:
Add many bit and structure definitions for ZAC, NCQ, and EPC
command support.
sys/sys/bio.h:
Convert the bio_cmd field to a straight enumeration. This will
yield more space for additional commands in the future. After
change r297955 and other related changes, this is now possible.
Converting to an enumeration will also prevent use as a bitmask
in the future.
sys/sys/disk.h:
Define the DIOCZONECMD ioctl.
sys/sys/disk_zone.h:
Add a new API for managing zoned disks. This is very close to
the SCSI ZBC and ATA ZAC standards, but uses integers in native
byte order instead of big endian (SCSI) or little endian (ATA)
byte arrays.
This is intended to offer to the complete feature set of the ZBC
and ZAC disk management without requiring the application developer
to include SCSI or ATA headers. We also use one set of headers
for ioctl consumers and kernel bio-level consumers.
sys/sys/param.h:
Bump __FreeBSD_version for sys/bio.h command changes, and inclusion
of SMR support.
usr.sbin/Makefile:
Add the zonectl utility.
usr.sbin/diskinfo/diskinfo.c
Add disk zoning capability to the 'diskinfo -v' output.
usr.sbin/zonectl/Makefile:
Add zonectl makefile.
usr.sbin/zonectl/zonectl.8
zonectl(8) man page.
usr.sbin/zonectl/zonectl.c
The zonectl(8) utility. This allows managing SCSI or ATA zoned
disks via the disk_zone.h API. You can report zones, reset write
pointers, get parameters, etc.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6147
Reviewed by: wblock (documentation)
Although usually small, values produced by nitems() are unsigned.
By unsigning the corresponding indexes we avoid signed vs unsigned
comparisons. This may have some effect on performance, although given the
small sizes the effect will not be perceivable and it makes the code
clearer.
The significant changes and bugs fixed here are:
1. Fixed a bug in the progress display code:
When the user's filename is too big, or his terminal width is too
small, the progress code could wind up using a negative number for
the length of the "stars" that it uses to indicate progress.
This negative value was assigned to an unsigned variable, resulting
in a very large positive value.
The result is that we wound up writing garbage from memory to the
user's terminal.
With an 80 column terminal, a file name length of more than 35
characters would generate this problem.
To address this, we now set a minimum progress bar length, and
truncate the user's file name as needed.
This has been tested with large filenames and small terminals, and
at least produces reasonable results. If the terminal is too
narrow, the progress display takes up an additional line with each
update, but this is more user friendly than writing garbage to the
tty.
2. SATA drives connected via a SATA controller didn't have SCSI Inquiry
data populated in struct cam_device. This meant that the code in
fw_get_vendor() in fwdownload.c would try to match a zero-length
vendor ID, and so return the first entry in the vendor table. (Which
used to be HITACHI.) Fixed by grabbing identify data, passing the
identify buffer into fw_get_vendor(), and matching against the model
name.
3. SATA drives connected via a SAS controller do have Inquiry data
populated. The table included a couple of entries -- "ATA ST" and
"ATA HDS", intended to handle Seagate and Hitachi SATA drives attached
via a SAS controller. SCSI to ATA translation layers use a vendor
ID of "ATA" (which is standard), and then the model name from the ATA
identify data as the SCSI product name when they are returning data on
SATA disks. The cam_strmatch code will match the first part of the
string (because the length it is given is the length of the vendor,
"ATA"), and return 0 (i.e. a match). So all SATA drives attached to
a SAS controller would be programmed using the Seagate method
(WRITE BUFFER mode 7) of SCSI firmware downloading.
4. Issue #2 above covered up a bug in fw_download_img() -- if the
maximum packet size in the vendor table was 0, it tried to default
to a packet size of 32K. But then it didn't actually succeed in
doing that, because it set the packet size to the value that was
in the vendor table (0). Now that we actually have ATA attached
drives fall use the VENDOR_ATA case, we need a reasonable default
packet size. So this is fixed to properly set the default packet size.
5. Add support for downloading firmware to IBM LTO drives, and add a
firmware file validation method to make sure that the firmware
file matches the drive type. IBM tape drives include a Load ID and
RU name in their vendor-specific VPD page 0x3. Those should match
the IDs in the header of the firmware file to insure that the
proper firmware file is loaded.
6. This also adds a new -q option to the camcontrol fwdownload
subcommand to suppress informational output. When -q is used in
combination with -y, the firmware upgrade will happen without
prompting and without output except if an error condition occurs.
7. Re-add support for printing out SCSI inquiry information when
asking the user to confirm that they want to download firmware, and
add printing of ATA Identify data if it is a SATA disk. This was
removed in r237281 when support for flashing ATA disks was added.
8. Add a new camcontrol(8) "opcodes" subcommand, and use the
underlying code to get recommended timeout values for drive
firmware downloads.
Many SCSI devices support the REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES
command, and some support the optional timeout descriptor that
specifies nominal and recommended timeouts for the commands
supported by the device.
The new camcontrol opcodes subcommand allows displaying all
opcodes supported by a drive, information about which fields
in a SCSI CDB are actually used by a given SCSI device, and the
nominal and recommended timeout values for each command.
Since firmware downloads can take a long time in some devices, and
the time varies greatly between different types of devices, take
advantage of the infrastructure used by the camcontrol opcodes
subcommand to determine the best timeout to use for the WRITE
BUFFER command in SCSI device firmware downloads.
If the device recommends a timeout, it is likely to be more
accurate than the default 50 second timeout used by the firmware
download code. If the user specifies a timeout, it will override
the default or device recommended timeout. If the device doesn't
support timeout descriptors, we fall back to the default.
9. Instead of downloading firmware to SATA drives behind a SAS controller
using WRITE BUFFER, use the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command to compose
an ATA DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command and it to the drive. The previous
version of this code attempted to send a SCSI WRITE BUFFER command to
SATA drives behind a SAS controller. Although that is part of the
SAT-3 spec, it doesn't work with the parameters used with LSI
controllers at least.
10.Add a new mechanism for making common ATA passthrough and
ATA-behind-SCSI passthrough commands.
The existing camcontrol(8) ATA command mechanism checks the device
type on every command executed. That works fine for individual
commands, but is cumbersome for things like a firmware download
that send a number of commands.
The fwdownload code detects the device type up front, and then
sends the appropriate commands.
11.In simulation mode (-s), if the user specifies the -v flag, print out
the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would be sent to the drive. This will
aid in debugging any firmware download issues.
sbin/camcontrol/fwdownload.c:
Add a device type to the fw_vendor structure, so that we can
specify different download methods for different devices from the
same vendor. In this case, IBM hard drives (from when they
still made hard drives) and tape drives.
Add a tur_status field to the fw_vendor structure so that we can
specify whether the drive to be upgraded should be ready, not
ready, or whether it doesn't matter. Add the corresponding
capability in fw_download_img().
Add comments describing each of the vendor table fields.
Add HGST and SmrtStor to the supported SCSI vendors list.
In fw_get_vendor(), look at ATA identify data if we have a SATA
device to try to identify what the drive vendor is.
Add IBM firmware file validation. This gets VPD page 0x3, and
compares the Load ID and RU name in the page to the values
included in the header. The validation code will refuse to load
a firmware file if the values don't match. This does allow the
user to attempt a downgrade; whether or not it succeeds will
likely depend on the drive settings.
Add a -q option, and disable all informative output
(progress bars, etc.) when this is enabled.
Re-add the inquiry in the confirmation dialog so the user has
a better idea of which device he is talking to. Add support for
displaying ATA identify data.
Don't automatically disable confirmation in simulation (-s) mode.
This allows the user to see the inquiry or identify data in the
dialog, and see exactly what they would see when the command
actually runs. Also, in simulation mode, if the user specifies
the -v flag, print out the SCSI CDB or ATA registers that would
be sent to the drive. This will aid in debugging any firmware
download issues.
Add a timeout field and timeout type to the firmware download
vendor table. This allows specifying a default timeout and allows
specifying whether we should attempt to probe for a recommended
timeout from the drive.
Add a new fuction, fw_get_timeout(), that will determine
which timeout to use for the WRITE BUFFER command. If the
user specifies a timeout, we always use that. Otherwise,
we will use the drive recommended timeout, if available,
and fall back to the default when a drive recommended
timeout isn't available.
When we prompt the user, tell him what timeout we're going
to use, and the source of the timeout.
Revamp the way SATA devices are handled.
In fwdownload(), use the new get_device_type() function to
determine what kind of device we're talking to.
Allow firmware downloads to any SATA device, but restrict
SCSI downloads to known devices. (The latter is not a
change in behavior.)
Break out the "ready" check from fw_download_img() into a
new subfunction, fw_check_device_ready(). This sends the
appropriate command to the device in question -- a TEST
UNIT READY or an IDENTIFY. The IDENTIFY for SATA devices
a SAT layer is done using the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH
command.
Use the new build_ata_cmd() function to build either a SCSI or
ATA I/O CCB to issue the DOWNLOAD MICROCODE command to SATA
devices. build_ata_cmd() figures looks at the devtype argument
and fills in the correct CCB type and CDB or ATA registers.
Revamp the vendor table to remove the previous
vendor-specific ATA entries and use a generic ATA vendor
placeholder. We currently use the same method for all ATA
drives, although we may have to add vendor-specific
behavior once we test this with more drives.
sbin/camcontrol/progress.c:
In progress_draw(), make barlength a signed value so that
we can easily detect a negative value.
If barlength (the length of the progress bar) would wind up
negative due to a small TTY width or a large filename,
set the bar length to the new minimum (10 stars) and
truncate the user's filename. We will truncate it down to
0 characters if necessary.
Calculate a new prefix_len variable (user's filename length)
and use it as the precision when printing the filename.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
Implement a new camcontrol(8) subcommand, "opcodes". The
opcodes subcommand allows displaying the entire list of
SCSI commands supported by a device, or details on an
individual command. In either case, it can display
nominal and recommended timeout values.
Add the scsiopcodes() function, which calls the new
scsigetopcodes() function to fetch opcode data from a
drive.
Add two new functions, scsiprintoneopcode() and
scsiprintopcodes(), which print information about one
opcode or all opcodes, respectively.
Remove the get_disk_type() function. It is no longer used.
Add a new function, dev_has_vpd_page(), that fetches the
supported INQUIRY VPD list from a device and tells the
caller whether the requested VPD page is available.
Add a new function, get_device_type(), that returns a more
precise device type than the old get_disk_type() function.
The get_disk_type() function only distinguished between
SCSI and ATA devices, and SATA devices behind a SCSI to ATA
translation layer were considered to be "SCSI".
get_device_type() offers a third type, CC_DT_ATA_BEHIND_SCSI.
We need to know this to know whether to attempt to send ATA
passthrough commands. If the device has the ATA
Information VPD page (0x89), then it is an ATA device
behind a SCSI to ATA translation layer.
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.
Add a new function, build_ata_cmd(), that will take one set
of common arguments and build either a SCSI or ATA I/O CCB,
depending on the device type passed in.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.h:
Add a prototype for scsigetopcodes().
Add a new enumeration, camcontrol_devtype.
Add prototypes for dev_has_vpd_page(), get_device_type()
and build_ata_cmd().
Remove the type argument from the fwdownload() subcommand.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.8
Explain that the fwdownload subcommand will use the drive
recommended timeout if available, and that the user can
override the timeout.
Document the new opcodes subcommand.
Explain that we will attempt to download firmware to any
SATA device.
Document supported SCSI vendors, and models tested if known.
Explain the commands used to download firmware for the
three different drive and controller combinations.
Document that the -v flag in simulation mode for the fwdownload
subcommand will print out the SCSI CDBs or ATA registers that would
be used.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add new bit definitions for the one opcode descriptor for
the REPORT SUPPORTED OPCODES command.
Add a function prototype for scsi_report_supported_opcodes().
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add a new CDB building function, scsi_report_supported_opcodes().

MAM is Medium Auxiliary Memory and is most commonly found as flash

attributes or reporting attributes in XML format.

scsi_attrib_ascii_sbuf() decodes ASCII format attributes.
scsi_attrib_int_sbuf() decodes binary format attributes, and
will pass them off to scsi_attrib_hexdump_sbuf() if they're
bigger than 8 bytes.
scsi_attrib_vendser_sbuf() decodes the vendor and drive
serial number attribute.
scsi_attrib_volcoh_sbuf() decodes the Volume Coherency
Information attribute that LTFS writes out.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Add a number of attribute-related structure definitions and
other defines.
Add function prototypes for all of the functions added in
scsi_all.c.
sys/kern/subr_prf.c:
Add a new function, sbuf_hexdump(). This is the same as
the existing hexdump(9) function, except that it puts the
result in an sbuf.
This also changes subr_prf.c so that it can be compiled in
userland for includsion in libsbuf.
We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.
We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently
separate. This would also mean making applications that
currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.
sys/sys/sbuf.h:
Add the prototype for sbuf_hexdump(), and add another copy
of the hexdump flag values if they aren't already defined.
Ideally the flags should be defined in one place but the
implemenation makes it difficult to do properly. (See
above.)

The primary focus of these changes is to modernize FreeBSD's
tape infrastructure so that we can take advantage of some of the
features of modern tape drives and allow support for LTFS.
Significant changes and new features include:
o sa(4) driver status and parameter information is now exported via an
XML structure. This will allow for changes and improvements later
on that will not break userland applications. The old MTIOCGET
status ioctl remains, so applications using the existing interface
will not break.
o 'mt status' now reports drive-reported tape position information
as well as the previously available calculated tape position
information. These numbers will be different at times, because
the drive-reported block numbers are relative to BOP (Beginning
of Partition), but the block numbers calculated previously via
sa(4) (and still provided) are relative to the last filemark.
Both numbers are now provided. 'mt status' now also shows the
drive INQUIRY information, serial number and any position flags
(BOP, EOT, etc.) provided with the tape position information.
'mt status -v' adds information on the maximum possible I/O size,
and the underlying values used to calculate it.
o The extra sa(4) /dev entries (/dev/saN.[0-3]) have been removed.
The extra devices were originally added as place holders for
density-specific device nodes. Some OSes (NetBSD, NetApp's OnTap
and Solaris) have had device nodes that, when you write to them,
will automatically select a given density for particular tape drives.
This is a convenient way of switching densities, but it was never
implemented in FreeBSD. Only the device nodes were there, and that
sometimes confused users.
For modern tape devices, the density is generally not selectable
(e.g. with LTO) or defaults to the highest availble density when
the tape is rewritten from BOT (e.g. TS11X0). So, for most users,
density selection won't be necessary. If they do need to select
the density, it is easy enough to use 'mt density' to change it.
o Protection information is now supported. This is either a
Reed-Solomon CRC or CRC32 that is included at the end of each block
read and written. On write, the tape drive verifies the CRC, and
on read, the tape drive provides a CRC for the userland application
to verify.
o New, extensible tape driver parameter get/set interface.
o Density reporting information. For drives that support it,
'mt getdensity' will show detailed information on what formats the
tape drive supports, and what formats the tape drive supports.
o Some mt(1) functionality moved into a new mt(3) library so that
external applications can reuse the code.
o The new mt(3) library includes helper routines to aid in parsing
the XML output of the sa(4) driver, and build a tree of driver
metadata.
o Support for the MTLOAD (load a tape in the drive) and MTWEOFI
(write filemark immediate) ioctls needed by IBM's LTFS
implementation.
o Improve device departure behavior for the sa(4) driver. The previous
implementation led to hangs when the device was open.
o This has been tested on the following types of drives:
IBM TS1150
IBM TS1140
IBM LTO-6
IBM LTO-5
HP LTO-2

Many tape driver changes, largely outlined above.
Increase the sa(4) driver read/write timeout from 4 to 32
minutes. This is based on the recommended values for IBM LTO
5/6 drives. This may also avoid timeouts for other tape
hardware that can take a long time to do retries and error
recovery. Longer term, a better way to handle this is to ask
the drive for recommended timeout values using the REPORT
SUPPORTED OPCODES command. Modern IBM and Oracle tape drives
at least support that command, and it would allow for more
accurate timeout values.
Add XML status generation. This is done with a series of
macros to eliminate as much duplicate code as possible. The
new XML-based status values are reported through the new
MTIOCEXTGET ioctl.
Add XML driver parameter reporting, using the new MTIOCPARAMGET
ioctl.
Add a new driver parameter setting interface, using the new
MTIOCPARAMSET and MTIOCSETLIST ioctls.
Add a new MTIOCRBLIM ioctl to get block limits information.
Add CCB/CDB building routines scsi_locate_16, scsi_locate_10,
and scsi_read_position_10().
scsi_locate_10 implements the LOCATE command, as does the
existing scsi_set_position() command. It just supports
additional arguments and features. If/when we figure out a
good way to provide backward compatibility for older
applications using the old function API, we can just revamp
scsi_set_position(). The same goes for
scsi_read_position_10() and the existing scsi_read_position()
function.
Revamp sasetpos() to take the new mtlocate structure as an
argument. It now will use either scsi_locate_10() or
scsi_locate_16(), depending upon the arguments the user
supplies. As before, once we change position we don't have a
clear idea of what the current logical position of the tape
drive is.
For tape drives that support long form position data, we
read the current position and store that for later reporting
after changing the position. This should help applications
like Bacula speed tape access under FreeBSD once they are
modified to support the new ioctls.
Add a new quirk, SA_QUIRK_NO_LONG_POS, that is set for all
drives that report SCSI-2 or older, as well as drives that
report an Illegal Request type error for READ POSITION with
the long format. So we should automatically detect drives
that don't support the long form and stop asking for it after
an initial try.
Add a partition number to the sa(4) softc.
Improve device departure handling. The previous implementation
led to hangs when the device was open.
If an application had the sa(4) driver open, and attempted to
close it after it went away, the cam_periph_release() call in
saclose() would cause the periph to get destroyed because that
was the last reference to it. Because destroy_dev() was
called from the sa(4) driver's cleanup routine (sacleanup()),
and would block waiting for the close to happen, a deadlock
would result.
So instead of calling destroy_dev() from the cleanup routine,
call destroy_dev_sched_cb() from saoninvalidate() and wait for
the callback.
Acquire a reference for devfs in saregister(), and release it
in the new sadevgonecb() routine when all devfs devices for
the particular sa(4) driver instance are gone.
Add a new function, sasetupdev(), to centralize setting
per-instance devfs device parameters instead of repeating the
code in saregister().
Add an open count to the softc, so we know how many
peripheral driver references are a result of open
sessions.
Add the D_TRACKCLOSE flag to the cdevsw flags so
that we get a 1:1 mapping of open to close calls
instead of a N:1 mapping.
This should be a no-op for everything except the
control device, since we don't allow more than one
open on non-control devices.
However, since we do allow multiple opens on the
control device, the combination of the open count
and the D_TRACKCLOSE flag should result in an
accurate peripheral driver reference count, and an
accurate open count.
The accurate open count allows us to release all
peripheral driver references that are the result
of open contexts once we get the callback from devfs.
sys/sys/mtio.h:
Add a number of new mt(4) ioctls and the requisite data
structures. None of the existing interfaces been removed
or changed.
This includes definitions for the following new ioctls:
MTIOCRBLIM /* get block limits */
MTIOCEXTLOCATE /* seek to position */
MTIOCEXTGET /* get tape status */
MTIOCPARAMGET /* get tape params */
MTIOCPARAMSET /* set tape params */
MTIOCSETLIST /* set N params */
usr.bin/mt/Makefile:
mt(1) now depends on libmt, libsbuf and libbsdxml.
usr.bin/mt/mt.1:
Document new mt(1) features and subcommands.
usr.bin/mt/mt.c:
Implement support for mt(1) subcommands that need to
use getopt(3) for their arguments.
Implement a new 'mt status' command to replace the old
'mt status' command. The old status command has been
renamed 'ostatus'.
The new status function uses the MTIOCEXTGET ioctl, and
therefore parses the XML data to determine drive status.
The -x argument to 'mt status' allows the user to dump out
the raw XML reported by the kernel.
The new status display is mostly the same as the old status
display, except that it doesn't print the redundant density
mode information, and it does print the current partition
number and position flags.
Add a new command, 'mt locate', that will supersede the
old 'mt setspos' and 'mt sethpos' commands. 'mt locate'
implements all of the functionality of the MTIOCEXTLOCATE
ioctl, and allows the user to change the logical position
of the tape drive in a number of ways. (Partition,
block number, file number, set mark number, end of data.)
The immediate bit and the explicit address bits are
implemented, but not documented in the man page.
Add a new 'mt weofi' command to use the new MTWEOFI ioctl.
This allows the user to ask the drive to write a filemark
without waiting around for the operation to complete.
Add a new 'mt getdensity' command that gets the XML-based
tape drive density report from the sa(4) driver and displays
it. This uses the SCSI REPORT DENSITY SUPPORT command
to get comprehensive information from the tape drive about
what formats it is able to read and write.
Add a new 'mt protect' command that allows getting and setting
tape drive protection information. The protection information
is a CRC tacked on to the end of every read/write from and to
the tape drive.

Add a new function, scsi_transportid_sbuf(). This takes a

an sbuf(9). There are some transports (like ATA, USB, and
SSA) for which there is no transport defined. We need to
come up with a reasonable thing to do if we're presented
with a Transport ID that claims to be for one of those
protocols.
Add new routines scsi_get_nv() and scsi_nv_to_str().
These functions do a table lookup to go between a string and an
integer. There are lots of table lookups needed in the
persistent reservation code in camcontrol(8).
Add a new function, scsi_parse_transportid(), along with leaf node
functions to parse:
FC, 1394 and SAS (scsi_parse_transportid_64bit())
iSCSI (scsi_parse_transportid_iscsi())
SPI (scsi_parse_transportid_spi())
RDMA (scsi_parse_transportid_rdma())
PCIe (scsi_parse_transportid_sop())

notify (enable spinup) required", instead of doing the normal
retries, poll for a change in status.
We will poll every half second for a minute for the status to

Hitachi drives (and likely other SAS drives) return that ASC/ASCQ

waiting for the SAS expander to send them the SAS
NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive.
That primitive is the mechanism expanders/enclosures use to
sequence drive spinup to avoid overloading power supplies.
