the "disappearing subdisks" problem when new subdisks can't be created
due to some errors.
This is in fact an ugly hack, but a more elegant solution would probably
require a redesign of vinum in several places.

on the card, unmap it first. This allows it to be picked up properly when
the queue gets kicked again. This was the root problem for the lost command
(i.e. stuck in getblk/vinvalb) problem. While here, panic if commands don't
map correctly instead of just silently ignoring the problem and dropping
command. Also slow down the dynamic allocation of new commands.
It should be safe to go back into the aac waters. Thanks to everyone who
suffered through this and provided good feedback.
seems to work well in RELENG_4. However, 5.X locking foo means that I'll
have to do some quick redesign.
Add ioctl handlers for ISP_GETROLE and ISP_SETROLE ioctls.
handling of resources shortages. The driver is now so fast that it can
completely fill all 512 slots on the card, but for some reason only 511
slots are being allocated. Anything that tries to go into the 512th
slot gets silently lost. Both bugs need to be fixed at a later date,
but this should fix the reports of hangs in getblk and vinvalb.
edge cases in the loop.
- Try to grab a command before dequeueing the bio from the bioq. The old
behaviour of requeuing deferred bios to the end of the bioq is arguably
wrong. This should be fixed in the future to check the bioq head without
automatically dequeueing the bio.

Convert the COMPLETE_DMA_SCB list to an "stailq". This allows us to
safely keep the SCB that is currently being DMA'ed back the host on
the head of the list while processing completions off of the bus. The
newly completed SCBs are appended to the tail of the queue. In the
past, we just dequeued the SCB that was in flight from the list, but
this could result in a lost completion should the host perform certain
types of error recovery that must cancel all in-flight SCB DMA operations.
Switch from using a 16bit completion entry, holding just the tag and the
completion valid bit, to a 64bit completion entry that also contains a
"status packet valid" indicator. This solves two problems:
o The SCB DMA engine on at least Rev B. silicon does not properly deal
with a PCI disconnect that occurs at a non-64bit aligned offset in the
chips "source buffer". When the transfer is resumed, the DMA engine
continues at the correct offset, but may wrap to the head of the buffer
causing duplicate completions to be reported to the host. By using a
completion buffer in host memory that is 64bit aligned and using 64bit
completion entries, such disconnects should only occur at aligned addresses.
This assumes that the host bridge will only disconnect on cache-line
boundaries and that cache-lines are multpiles of 64bits.
o By embedding the status information in the completion entry we can avoid
an extra memory reference to the HSCB for commands that complete without
error.
Use the comparison of a "host freeze count" and a "sequencer freeze count"
to allow the host to process most SCBs that complete with non-zero status
without having to clear critical sections. Instead the host can just pause the
sequencer, performs any necessary cleanup in the waiting for selection list,
increments its freeze count on the controller, and unpauses. This is only
possible because the sequencer defers completions of SCBs with bad status
until after all pending selections have completed. The sequencer then avoids
referencing any data structures the host may touch during completion of the
SCB until the freeze counts match.
aic79xx.c:
Change the strategy for allocating our sentinal HSCB for the QINFIFO. In
the past, this allocation was tacked onto the QOUTFIFO allocation. Now that
the qoutfifo has grown to accomodate larger completion entries, the old
approach will result in a 64byte allocation that costs an extra page of
coherent memory. We now do this extra allocation via ahd_alloc_scbs()
where the "unused space" can be used to allocate "normal" HSCBs.
In our packetized busfree handler, use the ENSELO bit to differentiate
between packetized and non-packetized unexpected busfree events that
occur just after selection, but before the sequencer has had the oportunity
to service the selection.
When cleaning out the waiting for selection list, use the SCSI mode
instead of the command channel mode. The SCB pointer in the command
channel mode may be referenced by the SCB dma engine even while the
sequencer is paused, whereas the SCSI mode SCB pointer is only accessed
by the sequencer.
Print the "complete on qfreeze" sequencer SCB completion list in
ahd_dump_card_state(). This list holds all SCB completions that are deferred
until a pending select-out qfreeze event has taken effect.
aic79xx.h:
Add definitions and structures to handle the new SCB completion scheme.
Add a controller flag that indicates if the controller is in HostRAID
mode.
aic79xx.reg:
Remove macros used for toggling from one data fifo mode to the other.
They have not been in use for some time.
Add scratch ram fields for our new qfreeze count scheme, converting
the complete dma list into an "stailq", and providing for the "complete
on qfreeze" SCB completion list. Some other fields were moved to retain
proper field alignment (alignment >= field size in bytes).
aic79xx.seq:
Add code to our idle loop to:
o Process deferred completions once a qfreeze event has taken full
effect.
o Thaw the queue once the sequencer and host qfreeze counts match.
Generate 64bit completion entries passing the SCB_SGPTR field as the
"good status" indicator. The first bit in this field is only set if
we have a valid status packet to send to the host.
Convert the COMPLETE_DMA_SCB list to an "stailq".
When using "setjmp" to register an idle loop handler, do not combine
the "ret" with the block move to pop the stack address in the same
instruction. At least on the A, this results in a return to the setjmp
caller, not to the new address at the top of the stack. Since we want
the latter (we want the newly registered handler to only be invoked from
the idle loop), we must use a separate ret instruction.
Add a few missing critical sections.
Close a race condition that can occur on Rev A. silicon. If both FIFOs
happen to be allocated before the sequencer has a chance to service the
FIFO that was allocated first, we must take special care to service the
FIFO that is not active on the SCSI bus first. This guarantees that a
FIFO will be freed to handle any snapshot requests for the FIFO that is
still on the bus. Chosing the incorrect FIFO will result in deadlock.

Update ahd_check_cmdcmpltqueues() for the larger completion entries.

Attach to HostRAID controllers by default. In the future I may add a
sysctl to modify the behavior, but since FreeBSD does not have any
HostRAID drivers, failing to attach just results in more email and
bug reports for the author.

that Asus provides on its CDs has both a MiniportSend() routine
and a MiniportSendPackets() function. The Microsoft NDIS docs say
that if a driver has both, only the MiniportSendPackets() routine
will be used. Although I think I implemented the support correctly,
calling the MiniportSend() routine seems to result in no packets going
out on the air, even though no error status is returned. The
MiniportSendPackets() function does work though, so at least in
this case it doesn't matter.
In if_ndis.c:ndis_getstate_80211(), if ndis_get_assoc() returns
an error, don't bother trying to obtain any other state since the
calls may fail, or worse cause the underlying driver to crash.
(The above two changes make the Asus-supplied Centrino work.)
Also, when calling the OID_802_11_CONFIGURATION OID, remember
to initialize the structure lengths correctly.
In subr_ndis.c:ndis_open_file(), set the current working directory
to rootvnode if we're in a thread that doesn't have a current
working directory set.

the system. Also, decrease the poll interval to 10 seconds from 30
seconds. This is needed because some systems will report an invalid high
temperature for one poll cycle. It is suspected this is due to the
embedded controller timing out. A typical value is 138C for one cycle on a
system that is otherwise 65C. This prevents the system from prematurely
shutting down after one invalid reading. It will still shut down after 30
seconds of high temperature, which is the same as previous default
behavior.

support the OID_802_11_NETWORK_TYPES_SUPPORTED OID.
Also, for now, don't do anything special in the ndis_suspend() method.
I originally wanted to shut down the NIC but leave the IFF_UP flag alone
since technically the interface is meant to remain up, but an interrupt
may be delivered to the ISR on suspend, and if this happens while the
NIC is halted, we will crash, since none of the miniport driver methods
will function.
This needs to be dealt with properly later, but for now this prevents
a panic, and the resume method properly re-inits the NIC.
interrupt handler so that no locks are needed, and schedules the
command completion routine with a taskqueue_fast. This also corrects the
locking in the command thread and removes the need for operation flags.
Simple load tests show that this is now considerably faster than FreeBSD 4.x
in the SMP case when multiple i/o tasks are running.
