Subject: Jaz Drives / Tagged Command Queuing
FreeBSD Lists,
Due to my own problems as the owner of a Jaz drive, I have gotten word
from Iomega that confirms the state of Tagged Command Queuing as the
underlying problem. There is an error in all Jaz, and Jaz2 drives prior
to BIOS level J.86 that has not shipped yet. Read the following, and
make the appropriate corrections to your system present, and future:
> Steve,
>
> I got a very fast response from the hardware engineer (Jaz and Jaz 2
> designer). The problem is this - The Jaz drive does not support
> command queing, and revisions older than J.86 do not report it correctly.
> For example, when your SCSI adapter says "I'm going to use command
> queing" to the Jaz drive, the drive answers "OK, lets go", even though its
> not supported. The J.86 drives will now answer "Sorry, command
> queing is not supported". Iomega does not have any current plans to
> support command queing.
>
> Thank's for your report, I will continue to forward it to the hardware
> engineers.

The differences Terrys patch and this patch are:
* Remove a lot of un-needed comments.
* Don't put l_hotchar at the front of stuct linesw, there is no need to.
* Use the #defines for the hotchar in the SLIP and PPP line disciplines
with macros. This breaks if the functions are replaced by macros with
unsuitable semantics. Define a MAX() macro unconditionally instead.
max() is unsuitable since we need a constant expression. Don't define
MIN() - we never used min().

Update `time' before calling hardclock() when timer0 is being released.
This is not known to be important.
Added some delays in writertc(). Efficiency is not critical here, unlike
in rtcin(), and we already use conservative delays there.
Don't touch the hardware when machdep.i8254_freq is being changed but
the maximum count wouldn't change. This fixes jitter of up to 10 msec

count needs to change, the hardware should be adjusted more carefully.

Fixed missing bounds checking in i386_get_ioperm(). Don't use a

offset is non-zero:
- Do not match fragmented packets if the rule specifies a port or
TCP flags
- Match fragmented packets if the rule does not specify a port and
TCP flags
Since ipfw cannot examine port numbers or TCP flags for such packets,
it is now illegal to specify the 'frag' option with either ports or
tcpflags. Both kernel and ipfw userland utility will reject rules
containing a combination of these options.
BEWARE: packets that were previously passed may now be rejected, and
vice versa.

If the console enters the `unknown' graphics mode via the ioctl KDSETMODE

the correct values), but set_mouse_pos() need to refer to these field

Define the first character code of four consecutive codes to be used for

if you decide to use any codes outside the range of 0xc0-0xdf,
the mouse cursor may not look good, because of the way VGA displays
characters in 9-dot-wide character cells.

I've worked to enhance the connect() patches.
I've just tested this with the Linux JDK appletviewer on an applet
that does a lot of connects, and it works as well as during my
previous tests.
The connect() patch is now a merge between my older patch and the
OpenBSD stuff. It ensures that any async error is returned by
connect() instead of getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR) as reasonnable
systems do.
There are also minor patches to implement IPPROTO_TCP for
get/setsocktopt(). These are also tested (with Linux Apache).

MUST be PG_BUSY. It is bogus to free a page that isn't busy,
because it is in a state of being "unavailable" when being
freed. The additional advantage is that the page_remove code
has a better cross-check that the page should be busy and
unavailable for other use. There were some minor problems
with the collapse code, and this plugs those subtile "holes."
Also, the vfs_bio code wasn't checking correctly for PG_BUSY
pages. I am going to develop a more consistant scheme for
grabbing pages, busy or otherwise. For now, we are stuck
with the current morass.

a hashed port list. In the new scheme, in_pcblookup() goes away and is
replaced by a new routine, in_pcblookup_local() for doing the local port
check. Note that this implementation is space inefficient in that the PCB
struct is now too large to fit into 128 bytes. I might deal with this in the
future by using the new zone allocator, but I wanted these changes to be
extensively tested in their current form first.
Also:
1) Fixed off-by-one errors in the port lookup loops in in_pcbbind().
2) Got rid of some unneeded rehashing. Adding a new routine, in_pcbinshash()
to do the initialial hash insertion.
3) Renamed in_pcblookuphash() to in_pcblookup_hash() for easier readability.
4) Added a new routine, in_pcbremlists() to remove the PCB from the various
hash lists.
5) Added/deleted comments where appropriate.
6) Removed unnecessary splnet() locking. In general, the PCB functions should
be called at splnet()...there are unfortunately a few exceptions, however.
7) Reorganized a few structs for better cache line behavior.
8) Killed my TCP_ACK_HACK kludge. It may come back in a different form in
the future, however.
These changes have been tested on wcarchive for more than a month. In tests
