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.

check is complicated by the fact that the Adaptec 5400S cards claim to use
1.x firmware also. PERC2/QC 1.x firmware is not compatible with this driver
and will cause a system hang.

Seigo Tanimura (tanimura) posted the initial delta.
I've polished it quite a bit reducing the need for locking and
adapting it for KSE.
Locks:
1 mutex in each filedesc
protects all the fields.
protects "struct file" initialization, while a struct file
is being changed from &badfileops -> &pipeops or something
the filedesc should be locked.
1 mutex in each struct file
protects the refcount fields.
doesn't protect anything else.
the flags used for garbage collection have been moved to
f_gcflag which was the FILLER short, this doesn't need
locking because the garbage collection is a single threaded
container.
could likely be made to use a pool mutex.
1 sx lock for the global filelist.
struct file * fhold(struct file *fp);
/* increments reference count on a file */
struct file * fhold_locked(struct file *fp);
/* like fhold but expects file to locked */
struct file * ffind_hold(struct thread *, int fd);
/* finds the struct file in thread, adds one reference and
returns it unlocked */
struct file * ffind_lock(struct thread *, int fd);
/* ffind_hold, but returns file locked */
I still have to smp-safe the fget cruft, I'll get to that asap.
released management apps.
1. Implement poll(). This will check for queued aif's so that a
subsequent ioctl call to retrieve the next aif will not block.
2. Don't catch signals when sleeping on a fib sent from userland. This
causes a race and panic due to the pthread context switcher waking
up the tsleep at inopportune times.
3. Fix some whitespace nits.

while it is on a queue with the queue lock and remove the per-task locks.
- Remove TASK_DESTROY now that it is no longer needed.
- Go back to inlining TASK_INIT now that it is short again.

queue, and a mutex to protect the global list of taskqueues. The only
visible change is that a TASK_DESTROY() macro has been added to mirror
the TASK_INIT() macro to destroy a task before it is free'd.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

1. Correctly handle commands initiated by the adapter. These commands
are defered to a kthread responsible for their processing, then are
properly returned to the controller.
2. Add/remove disk devices when notified by the card that a container was
created/deleted/offline.
3. Implement crashdump functionality.

match what exists for linux. Allow ioctls to be called through either the
native or linux interface, though no apps exist (yet) that can take
advantage of native calling.
Although it can go higher, it is not safe to so do on arrays with many
members. Compromise by adding a tunable, "hw.aac.iosize_max" that can be
set at boottime. Also document in the aac(4) manpage.

Add the AAC_DEBUG option to enable debugging in the aac driver.
Correct a race condition in the interrupt handler where the
controller may queue a fib to a response queue after the driver
has serviced the queue but before the interrupt is cleared.
This could leave a completed fib stranded in the response queue
unless another I/O completed and generated another interrupt.

with the driver locking up under load.
- Restructure so that we use a static pool of commands/FIBs, rather than
allocating them in clusters. The cluster allocation just made things
more complicated, and allowed us to waste more memory in peak load
situations.
- Make queueing macros more like my other drivers. This adds queue stats
for free. Add some debugging to take advantage of this.
- Reimplement the periodic timeout scan. Kick the interrupt handler
and the start routine every scan as well, just to be safe. Track busy
commands properly.
- Bring resource cleanup into line with resource allocation. We should
now clean up correctly after a failed probe/unload/etc.
- Try to start new commands when old ones are completed. We weren't doing
this before, which could lead to deadlock when the controller was full.
- Don't try to build a new command if we have found a deferred command.
This could cause us to lose the deferred command.
- Use diskerr() to report I/O errors.
- Don't bail if the AdapterInfo structure is the wrong size. Some variation
seems to be normal. We need to improve our handing of 2.x firmware sets.
- Improve some comments in an attempt to try to make things clearer.
- Restructure to avoid some warnings.

Define __offsetof() in <machine/ansi.h>
Define offsetof() in terms of __offsetof() in <stddef.h> and <sys/types.h>
Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.
