128 FIBs first and allocated more later if necessary. Remove now unused
definitions from the header file[1].
- Force sequential bus scanning. It seems parallel scanning is in fact
slower and causes more harm than good[1]. Adjust a comment to reflect that.

Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.

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.
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.

the modified interface that they use. Changes include:
- Register a different interrupt handler for the new interface. This one is
INTR_MPSAFE, not INTR_FAST, and directly processes completions and AIFs.
- Add an event registration and callback mechanism for the ioctl and CAM
modules can know when a resource shortage clears. This condition was
previously fatal in CAM due to programming oversights.
- Fix locking to play better with newbus.
- Provide access methods for talking to cards with the NEWCOMM interface.
- Fix up the CAM module to be better suited for dealing with newer firmware
on the PERC Si/Di series that requires talking to plain SCSI via aac.
- Add a whole slew of new PCI Id's.
Thanks to Adaptec for providing an initial version of this work and for
answering countless questions about it. There are still some rough edges in
this, but it works well enough to commit and test for now.

protect the registers so it was trivially possible for a sync command and
i/o command to fight each other and confuse the controller. Make the
sync fib alloc/release functions inline and remove the somewhat worthless
AAC_SYNC_LOCK_FORCE flag. Thanks to Adil Katchi for helping me to track
this down in RELENG_4.
- Add data structuress for doing 64-bit scatter/gather
- Move busdma tag creations around so that only the parent is
created in aac_pci.c.
- Retrieve the capabilities word from the firmware before setting
up command structures and tags. This allows the driver to decide
whether to do 64-bit commands, and if work-arounds are needed for
systems with >2GB of RAM.
- Only enable the SCSI passthrough if it's enabled in the capabilities
word in the firmware.
This should fix problems with the 2120S and 2200S cards in systems with more
than 2GB of RAM. Full 64-bit support is forthcoming.

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
- the mutex aac_io_lock protects the main codepaths which handle queues and
hardware registers. Only one acquire/release is done in the top-half and
the taskqueue. This mutex also applies to the userland command path and
CAM data path.
- Move the taskqueue to the new Giant-free version.
- Register the disk device with DISKFLAG_NOGIANT so the top-half processing
runs without Giant.
- Move the dynamic command allocator to the worker thread to avoid locking
issues with bus_dmamem_alloc().
This gives about 20% improvement in most of my benchmarks.
- Move the command timeout check from a separate repeating timeout to the
kthread since the kthread is already running periodically.
- Move printing the hardware print buffer to the kthread.
- Properly shut down the kernel thread on detach.
- Detach the child array devices on detach.
- Don't issue a controller halt command on detach. Doing so requires a PCI
reset to wake the controller back up. The driver can now be unloaded as
long as CAM support is not enabled.
confuses the controller, tell CAM not to do it. Also report the
correct error condition to CAM when it tries to probe a target that
doesn't exists.
This should make the CAM interface less risky to use.

ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.
