.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem provides a uniform and modular system for the implementation
|
|
of drivers to control various
|
|
.Tn SCSI ,
|
|
.Tn ATA ,
|
|
.Tn NMVe ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn MMC / SD
|
|
devices, and to utilize different
|
|
.Tn SCSI ,
|
|
.Tn ATA ,
|
|
.Tn NVMe ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn MMC / SD
|
|
host adapters through host adapter drivers.
|
|
When the system probes buses, it attaches any devices it finds to the
|
|
appropriate drivers.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr pass 4
|
|
driver, if it is configured in the kernel, will attach to all devices.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
There are a number of generic kernel configuration options for the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width SCSI_NO_SENSE_STRINGS
|
|
.It Dv CAMDEBUG
|
|
This option compiles in all the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
debugging printf code.
|
|
This will not actually
|
|
cause any debugging information to be printed out when included by itself.
|
|
See below for details.
|
|
.It Dv "CAM_MAX_HIGHPOWER=4"
|
|
This sets the maximum allowable number of concurrent "high power" commands.
|
|
A "high power" command is a command that takes more electrical power than
|
|
most to complete.
|
|
An example of this is the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
START UNIT command.
|
|
Starting a disk often takes significantly more electrical power than normal
|
|
operation.
|
|
This option allows the
|
|
user to specify how many concurrent high power commands may be outstanding
|
|
without overloading the power supply on his computer.
|
|
.It Dv SCSI_NO_SENSE_STRINGS
|
|
This eliminates text descriptions of each
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier pair.
|
|
Since this
|
|
is a fairly large text database, eliminating it reduces the size of the
|
|
kernel somewhat.
|
|
This is primarily necessary for boot floppies and other
|
|
low disk space or low memory space environments.
|
|
In most cases, though,
|
|
this should be enabled, since it speeds the interpretation of
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
error messages.
|
|
Do not let the "kernel bloat" zealots get to you -- leave
|
|
the sense descriptions in your kernel!
|
|
.It Dv SCSI_NO_OP_STRINGS
|
|
This disables text descriptions of each
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
opcode.
|
|
This option, like the sense string option above, is primarily
|
|
useful for environments like a boot floppy where kernel size is critical.
|
|
Enabling this option for normal use is not recommended, since it slows
|
|
debugging of
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
problems.
|
|
.It Dv SCSI_DELAY=8000
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
"bus settle delay."
|
|
In
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
it is specified in
|
|
.Em milliseconds ,
|
|
not seconds like the old
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
layer used to do.
|
|
When the kernel boots, it sends a bus reset to each
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
bus to tell each device to reset itself to a default set of transfer
|
|
negotiations and other settings.
|
|
Most
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
devices need some amount of time to recover from a bus reset.
|
|
Newer disks
|
|
may need as little as 100ms, while old, slow devices may need much longer.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
|
|
is not specified, it defaults to 2 seconds.
|
|
The minimum allowable value for
|
|
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
|
|
is "100", or 100ms.
|
|
One special case is that if the
|
|
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
|
|
is set to 0, that will be taken to mean the "lowest possible value."
|
|
In that case, the
|
|
.Dv SCSI_DELAY
|
|
will be reset to 100ms.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All devices and buses support dynamic allocation so that
|
|
an upper number of devices and controllers does not need to be configured;
|
|
.Cd "device da"
|
|
will suffice for any number of disk drivers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The devices are either
|
|
.Em wired
|
|
so they appear as a particular device unit or
|
|
.Em counted
|
|
so that they appear as the next available unused unit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Units are wired down by setting kernel environment hints.
|
|
This is usually done either interactively from the
|
|
.Xr loader 8 ,
|
|
or automatically via the
|
|
.Pa /boot/device.hints
|
|
file.
|
|
The basic syntax is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hint.device.unit.property="value"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Individual
|
|
.Nm
|
|
bus numbers can be wired down to specific controllers with
|
|
a config line similar to the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hint.scbus.0.at="ahd1"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This assigns
|
|
.Nm
|
|
bus number 0 to the
|
|
.Em ahd1
|
|
driver instance.
|
|
For controllers supporting more than one bus, a particular bus can be assigned
|
|
as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hint.scbus.0.at="ahc1"
|
|
hint.scbus.0.bus="1"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This assigns
|
|
.Nm
|
|
bus 0 to the bus 1 instance on
|
|
.Em ahc1 .
|
|
Peripheral drivers can be wired to a specific bus, target, and lun as so:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hint.da.0.at="scbus0"
|
|
hint.da.0.target="0"
|
|
hint.da.0.unit="0"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This assigns
|
|
.Em da0
|
|
to target 0, unit (lun) 0 of scbus 0.
|
|
Omitting the target or unit hints will instruct
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to treat them as wildcards
|
|
and use the first respective counted instances.
|
|
These examples can be combined together to allow a peripheral device to be
|
|
wired to any particular controller, bus, target, and/or unit instance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This also works with
|
|
.Xr nvme 4
|
|
drives as well.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hint.nvme.4.at="pci7:0:0"
|
|
hint.scbus.10.at="nvme4"
|
|
hint.nda.10.at="scbus10"
|
|
hint.nda.10.target="1"
|
|
hint.nda.10.unit="12"
|
|
hint.nda.11.at="scbus10"
|
|
hint.nda.11.target="1"
|
|
hint.nda.11.unit="2"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This assigns the NVMe card living at PCI bus 7 to scbus 10 (in PCIe,
|
|
slot and function are rarely used and usually 0).
|
|
The target for
|
|
.Xr nda 4
|
|
devices is always 1.
|
|
The unit is the namespace identifier from the drive.
|
|
The namespace id 1 is exported as
|
|
.Tn nda10
|
|
and namespace id 2 is exported as
|
|
.Tn nda11 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When you have a mixture of wired down and counted devices then the
|
|
counting begins with the first non-wired down unit for a particular
|
|
type.
|
|
That is, if you have a disk wired down as
|
|
.Em "device da1" ,
|
|
then the first non-wired disk shall come on line as
|
|
.Em da2 .
|
|
.Sh ADAPTERS
|
|
The system allows common device drivers to work through many different
|
|
types of adapters.
|
|
The adapters take requests from the upper layers and do
|
|
all IO between the
|
|
.Tn SCSI ,
|
|
.Tn ATA ,
|
|
.Tn NVMe ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn MMC / SD
|
|
bus and the system.
|
|
The maximum size of a transfer is governed by the
|
|
adapter.
|
|
Most adapters can transfer 64KB in a single operation, however
|
|
many can transfer larger amounts.
|
|
.Sh TARGET MODE
|
|
Some adapters support
|
|
.Em target mode
|
|
in which the system is capable of operating as a device, responding to
|
|
operations initiated by another system.
|
|
Target mode is supported for
|
|
some adapters, but is not yet complete for this version of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
subsystem.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|

|
|
.Nm

|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
An XPT_DEBUG CCB can be used to enable various amounts of tracing information
|
|
on any specific bus/device from the list of options compiled into the kernel.
|
|
There are currently seven debugging flags that may be compiled in and used:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_INFO
|
|
This flag enables general informational printfs for the device
|
|
or devices in question.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_TRACE
|
|
This flag enables function-level command flow tracing i.e.,
|
|
kernel printfs will happen at the entrance and exit of various functions.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE
|
|
This flag enables debugging output internal to various functions.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_CDB
|
|
This flag will cause the kernel to print out all
|
|
.Tn ATA
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
commands sent to a particular device or devices.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_XPT
|
|
This flag will enable command scheduler tracing.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH
|
|
This flag will enable peripheral drivers messages.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_PROBE
|
|
This flag will enable devices probe process tracing.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some of these flags, most notably
|
|
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_TRACE
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE ,
|
|
will produce kernel printfs in EXTREME numbers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Users can enable debugging from their kernel config file, by using
|
|
the following kernel config options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CAM_DEBUG_COMPILE
|
|
.It Dv CAMDEBUG
|
|
This builds into the kernel all possible
|
|
.Nm
|
|
debugging.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_COMPILE
|
|
This allows to specify support for which debugging flags described above
|
|
should be built into the kernel.
|
|
Flags may be ORed together if the user wishes to
|
|
see printfs for multiple debugging levels.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_FLAGS
|
|
This allows to set the various debugging flags from a kernel config file.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_BUS
|
|
Specify a bus to debug.
|
|
To debug all buses, set this to -1.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_TARGET
|
|
Specify a target to debug.
|
|
To debug all targets, set this to -1.
|
|
.It Dv CAM_DEBUG_LUN
|
|
Specify a lun to debug.
|
|
To debug all luns, set this to -1.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Users may also enable debugging on the fly by using the
|
|
.Xr camcontrol 8
|
|
utility, if wanted options built into the kernel.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr camcontrol 8
|
|
for details.
