IBM's DPTA and DTLA series of drives (no other disk vendors are known
to support this) on non-Promise controllers (promise controllers lockup
when given the tagged queuing specific commands).
It gives especially master/slave comboes about 5% better performance.
Add support for the Promise ATA100 OEM chip (pdc20265)
Add support for the Cyrix 5530
Change the way status is read from the drives, use the alternate
status reg when possible.
Better support for DEVFS, the acdXtY devices are now created when needed.
Lots of little cleanups.
<sys/bio.h>.
<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.
Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.
Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.
Repocopy by: peter
Exceptions:
Vinum untouched. This means that it cannot be compiled.
Greg Lehey is on the case.
CCD not converted yet, casts to struct buf (still safe)
atapi-cd casts to struct buf to examine B_PHYS
(Much of this done by script)
Move B_ORDERED flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ORDERED.
Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they
will be obsoleted once bio structs chain/stack.
Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort.
Address a lot of stylistic issues brought up by bde.
field in struct buf: b_iocmd. The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.
A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)
Vinum users: Greg has not had time to test this yet, be careful.
was needed to make attach/detach of devices work, which is
needed for the PCCARD support.
(PCCARD support is still not working though, more to come on that)
Support the CMD646 chip which is used on many alphas, sadly only
in WDMA2 mode, as the silicon is broken beyond belief for UDMA modes.
Lots of cosmetic fixes here and there.
Sorry for the size of this megapatchfromhell but it was not
possible otherwise...
newbus patches based on work from: dfr (Doug Rabson)
fix support for multiple HPT & Promise controllers.
support mixed 33/66 devices on the Promise 66 controllers.
fix the refcount stuff in the atapi drivers.
misc cleanups.
Try to support older systems reporting irq0 for the first channels.
Support sharing of the std interrupts (says peter :) )
Dont use READ_CD on normal data reads (2048 bytes), too many old drives
doesn't support this command even if the std says "shall" :(, but still
use READ_CD on all other blocksizes.
Add the geometry to the ad probe, its still usefull.
Dont be so verbose in the probe, only ONE line printed now, to get more
info boot verbose. Centralise most printf's in ata-all & ata-dma to use
the ata_printf function, it saves alot of codelines.
Repeat the identify command if drive fails the first.
Protect the timeout functions with splbio.
Dont update the transfer details before we are sure the transfer
succeded, this way they are proberly retried on errors.
Move the handling of next_writeable to userland.
Use the READ_CD command to read CD's. That enables us to read _anything_
via the normal read/write interface. This kindof obsoletes the READAUDIO
ioctl, but we keep that for now.
correctly on both master and slave.
Smash together the ata_params & atapi_params structures as they
are more or less equal anyways.
Get rid of the last SYSINIT's in here.
on all combinations (I hope)...
Add DMA support for the AMD 756 chip (K7 chipset) this is actually the
same as the VIA 82C686 chip (the ATA part that is).
Treat the intel MX chipset PIIX as a PIIX4
Allow UDMA on all disks that say they can handle it.
Cleanup probe printf's a bit
Remove alot of the old #ifdef DEBUG crap.
main component in the southbridge chip to determine which VIA chip
we are dealing with.
Try to enable DMA on generic controllers that say they has the
capability, instead of relying on the BIOS to have set it up.
Add a missing DELAY(1) in ata_wait.
Change the info from ad_version, so the ATA version from the disk can
be used to quantify the DAM modes valid for this drive, ie be more
selective with turning DMA on on older disks that should not support it..
Fix the probe for BIOS enabled DMA in the generic case, master/slave
was reversed in the test.
Check the return for ata_command in all cases, and print warnings if
it fails.
Call ata_dmainit with all dmamodes off when falling back to PIO mode,
that should take care of both the Promise & HPT366 controllers not
being able to handle the fallback...
Cleanup the printf's in the drivers, use the prober device name (if
possible) instead of ataN-master/slave.
their HotRod controller and on SIIG PCI ultra DMA controller. These
changes also made lots of the Promise code go away, its all much more
generic this way.
Get rid of atapi_immed_cmd, instead use the queue to move atapi commands
from interrupt context if nessesary, the entire atapi layer has
gotten an overhaul.
Lots of fixes to utililize the new features in subr_disk.c etc, and
get rid of the last biots of softc arrays in the drivers, the
only one left is atadevices which cannot easily go away (yet).
Use our own malloc names, its a lot easier to track memory usage this way.
General cleanup overall.
have been there in the first place. A GENERIC kernel shrinks almost 1k.
Add a slightly different safetybelt under nostop for tty drivers.
Add some missing FreeBSD tags
It been awhile since the last major update, as a benefit there
are some cool things in this one (and new bugs probably :) )...
The ATA driver has grown "real" timeout support for all devices.
This means that it should be possible to get in contact with
(especially) lost ATAPI devices. It also means that the ATA
driver is now usable on notebooks as it will DTRT on resume.
An experimental hack at utilizing the Promise66's at UDMA66 is
in there, but I cant test it. If someone feels like sending
me one, give me a ping.
The ATAPI DMA enableling scheme has been changed, also better DMA
support for the Aladdin chipset has been implemented for ATAPI
devices. Note that the Aladdin apparently only can do DMA reads
on ATAPI devices, and the Promise cant do ATAPI DMA at all.
I have seen problems on some ATAPI devices that should be able
to run in DMA mode, so if you encounter problems with hanging
atapi devices during the probe, or during access, disable DMA
in atapi-all.c, and let me know. It might be nessesary to do this
via a "white list" for known good devices...
The ATAPI CDROM driver can now use eject/close without hanging and
the bug that caused reading beyond the end of a CD has been fixed.
Media change is also handled proberly. DVD drives are identified
and are usable as CDROM devices at least, I dont have the HW to
test this further, see above :).
The ATAPI tape driver has gotten some support for using the DSC
method for not blocking the IDE channel during read/write when
the device has full buffers. It knows about the OnStream DI-30
device, support is not completed yet, but it can function as a
primitive backup medium, without filemarks, and without bad media
handeling. This is because the OnStream device doesn't handle this
(like everybody else) in HW. It also now supports getting/setting
the record position on devices that supports it.
Some rather major cleanups and rearrangements as well (cvs -b diff
is your freind). I'm closing in on declaring this for beta code,
most of the infrastruture is in place by now.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still alpha level code.
This driver can hose your disk real bad if anything goes wrong, but
now you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

Diskslice/label code not yet handled.
Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)
Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c
The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.
A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.
A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().
The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts,
it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors,
to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a
little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as much feedback on
errors as possible, especially timeouts, as I'm a bit in doubt if
I've chosen resonable default values everywhere.
The disk driver has been changed a bit to prepare for tagged queing,
which is next on my list.
The disk driver has grown a dump routine, I got one implementation
from Darrell Anderson <anderson@cs.duke.edu> which also did
partial dumps (usefull on big memory machines) I left out the
partial stuff for now, and changed the rest alot to fit into the new
ad_request framework.
Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.
I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.
Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.
Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.
Fixed problems:
LS120 drives currupted data.
The workaround for drives not supporting upto 64K transfers
has been reworked. It works now both on LS120 & ZIP drives.
ISA only configs wont compile.
Fixed.
The ATA driver wont share interrupts.
Fixed.
The "unwanted interrupt" warning gave wrong controller.
Another lun<>unit messup from the newbus integration.
Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)

Fixed problems:
Promise controllers was not always set up correctly.
Parantheses are a good thing, fixed.
Some older CDROM's could hang the probe.
Proberly wait for the drive to catch its breath after IDENTIFY.
Some CD writers fails because they dont support rezero.
Rearranged the code to not use rezero.
Warnings now that we use EGCS.
Fixed.
Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!
-Søren
reports on those most welcome!
Fixed problems:
Hang on probe on "fantom" devices.
The probe now use a timeout to avoid hangs if no interrupt
is recevied.
There has also been more general code clenaups, and some reorgs.
interrupts are enabled, this kills the last "unwanted interrupts"
(and there is no ugly hacks like in the old driver to avoid them).
COmmand interrupt devices are now supported, this applies mostly
to older CDROM's and apparently also the ZIP.
Fixed problems:
Number of total sectors wrong on some older drives.
Fixed by not using the LBA size unless we know its valid.
There has also been more general code clenaups, some reorgs also.
Added "options ATA_STATIC_ID" that wires ATA disks like the old wd driver.
Fixed problems:
Dont use more sectors/intr than the drive supports.
Fix announce of > 8.4G disks.
Dont call ad_interrupt/ad_transfer when no disks config'd.
Use the right page# for CDR write mode params.
Fix breakage when no PCI support in kernel.
Implement DEVFS stuff.
General code clenaup.
The much roumored replacement for our current IDE/ATA/ATAPI is
materialising in the CVS repositories around the globe.
So what does this bring us:
A new reengineered ATA/ATAPI subsystem, that tries to overcome
most of the deficiencies with the current drivers.
It supports PCI as well as ISA devices without all the hackery
in ide_pci.c to make PCI devices look like ISA counterparts.
It doesn't have the excessive wait problem on probe, in fact you
shouldn't notice any delay when your devices are getting probed.
Probing and attaching of devices are postponed until interrupts
are enabled (well almost, not finished yet for disks), making
things alot cleaner.
Improved performance, although DMA support is still WIP and not
in this pre alpha release, worldstone is faster with the new
driver compared to the old even with DMA.
So what does it take away:
There is NO support for old MFM/RLL/ESDI disks.
There is NO support for bad144, if your disk is bad, ditch it, it has
already outgrown its internal spare sectors, and is dying.
For you to try this out, you will have to modify your kernel config
file to use the "ata" controller instead of all wdc? entries.
example:
# for a PCI only system (most modern machines)
controller ata0
device atadisk0 # ATA disks
device atapicd0 # ATAPI CDROM's
device atapist0 # ATAPI tapes
#You should add the following on ISA systems:
controller ata1 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
controller ata2 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15
You can leave it all in there, the system knows how to manage.
For now this driver reuses the device entries from the old system
(that will probably change later), but remember that disks are
now numbered in the sequence they are found (like the SCSI system)
not as absolute positions as the old system.
Although I have tested this on all the systems I can get my hands on,
there might very well be gremlins in there, so use AT YOU OWN RISK!!
This is still WIP, so there are lots of rough edges and unfinished
things in there, and what I have in my lab might look very different
from whats in CVS at any given time. So please have all eventual
changes go through me, or chances are they just dissapears...
I would very much like to hear from you, both good and bad news
are very welcome.
Enjoy!!
