CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.
It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.
Some CTL features:
- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.
(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.
ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.
ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.
ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.
ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.
ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.
ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.
ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.
ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.
ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.
ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.
ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.
ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.
ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.
ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.
ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.
ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.
ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.
ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.
ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.
scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.
README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.
usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.
ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.
usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.
ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.
sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.
sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.
sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.
Add several mode page definitions for CTL.
sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.
sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.
scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.
amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.
i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.

This introduces:
* a basic wtap interface
* a HAL, which implements an abstraction layer for implementing
different device behavious;
* A visibility plugin, which allows for control over which nodes
see other nodes (useful for mesh work.)
It doesn't yet implement sta/adhoc/hostap modes but these are quite
feasible to implement.
Monthadar uses it to do 802.11s mesh verification.
The userland tools will be committed in a follow-up commit.

the memory allocator used by netmap. No functional change,
two small bug fixes:
- in if_re.c add a missing bus_dmamap_sync()
- in netmap.c comment out a spurious free() in an error handling block
where they've disabled all the wireless devices/framework.
This is just a build workaround. If you're actively using wireless,
you must still define AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 as I'm not sure what else
will break!
The real solution is to make the module build depend if AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
is defined, as well as make the 11n code in if_ath_tx.c and if_ath_tx_ht.c
completely optional (maybe depend upon ATH_SUPPORT_11N.)

It seems strchr() and strrchr() are used more often than index() and
rindex(). Therefore, simply migrate all kernel code to use it.
For the XFS code, remove an empty line to make the code identical to
the code in the Linux kernel.
This shows that the majority of the weird traffic I see here are probe
frames that haven't been sent out, but I can also trigger this condition
by doing ICMP w/ -i 0.3 - enough to trigger the TX during actual scanning,
but not fast enough to stop scanning from occuring.

decoded ranges. Pass any request for a specific range that fails because
it is not in a decoded range for an ACPI Host-PCI bridge up to the parent
to see if it can still be allocated. This is based on the assumption that
many BIOSes are inconsistent/broken and that settings programmed into BARs
or resources assigned to other built-in components are more trustworthy than
the list of decoded resource ranges in _CRS. This effectively limits the
decoded ranges to only being used for "wildcard" ranges when allocating
fresh resources for a BAR, etc. At some point I would like to only be
this permissive during an early scan of firmware-assigned resources during
boot and to be strict about all later allocations, but that isn't viable
currently.

no reason why it should be limited to 64K of DFLTPHYS. DMA data tag is any
way set to allow MAXPHYS, S/G lists (chain elements) are sufficient and
overflows are also handled. On my tests even 1MB I/Os are working fine.

This works fine on this DWA-552. Previous generation (pre-11n NICs) don't
have a GPIO mux - only input/output configuration - so they ignore this
field.
