.Bl -diag
|
|
.It twe%d: microcontroller not ready
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller's onboard CPU is not reporting that it is ready;
|
|
this may be due to either a board or system failure.
|
|
Initialisation has failed.
|
|
.It twe%d: no attention interrupt
|
|
.It twe%d: can't drain AEN queue

|
.It twe%d: reset %d failed, trying again
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller is not responding correctly to
|
|
the driver's attempts to reset and initialise it.
|
|
This process is retried several times.
|
|
.It twe%d: can't initialise controller, giving up
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Several attempts to reset and initialise the controller have failed;
|
|
initialisation has failed

.It twe%d: device_add_child failed
|
|
.It twe%d: bus_generic_attach returned %d
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Creation of the disk devices failed, either due to communication
|
|
problems with the adapter or due to resource shortage;
|
|
attachment of one or more units may have been aborted.
|

.Ss Operational phase
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It twe%d: command completed - %s
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
The warning may be one of:
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It redundant/inconsequential request ignored
|
|
.It failed to write zeroes to LBA 0
|
|
.It failed to profile TwinStor zones

|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It twe%d: command failed - %s
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A command was reported as failed by the controller.
|
|
The failure message may be one of:
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It aborted due to system command or reconfiguration
|
|
.It aborted
|
|
.It access error
|
|

.It undefined opcode
|
|
.It request incompatible with unit
|
|
.It invalid request
|
|
.It firmware error, reset requested
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command will be returned to the operating system after a
|
|
fatal error.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It twe%d: command failed submission - controller wedged
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A command could not be delivered to the controller because
|
|
the controller is unresponsive.
|
|
.It twe%d: AEN: <%s>
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller has reported a change in status using an AEN
|
|
(Asynchronous Event Notification).
|
|
The following AENs may be reported:
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It queue empty
|
|
.It soft reset
|
|
.It degraded mirror
|
|
.It controller error
|
|
.It rebuild fail
|
|
.It rebuild done
|
|
.It incomplete unit
|
|
.It initialisation done
|
|
.It unclean shutdown detected
|
|
.It drive timeout
|
|
.It drive error
|
|
.It rebuild started
|
|
.It aen queue full
|
|
.Pp
|
|
AENs are also queued internally for use by management tools.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It twe%d: error polling for signalled AENs
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller has reported
|
|
that one or more status messages are ready for the driver,
|
|
but attempting to fetch one of these has returned an error.
|
|
.It twe%d: AEN queue overflow, lost AEN <%s>
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A status message was retrieved from the controller,
|
|
but there is no more room to queue it in the driver.
|
|
The message is lost (but will be printed to the console).
|
|
.It twe%d: missing expected status bits %s
|
|
.It twe%d: unexpected status bits %s
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A check of the controller's status bits
|
|
indicates an unexpected condition.
|
|
.It twe%d: host interrupt
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller has signalled a host interrupt.
|
|
This serves an unknown purpose and is ignored.
|
|
.It twe%d: command interrupt
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller has signalled a command interrupt.
|
|
This is not used, and will be disabled.
|
|
.It twe%d: controller reset in progress...
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller is being reset by the driver.
|
|
Typically this is done when the driver has determined that the
|
|
controller is in an unrecoverable state.
|
|
.It twe%d: can't reset controller, giving up
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver has given up on resetting the controller.
|
|
No further I/O will be handled.
|
|
.It controller reset done, %d commands restarted
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller was successfully reset,
|
|
and outstanding commands were restarted.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The controller cannot handle I/O transfers
|
|
that are not aligned to a 512-byte boundary.
|
|
In order to support raw device access from user-space,
|
|
the driver will perform alignment fixup on non-aligned data.
|
|
This process is inefficient,
|
|
and thus in order to obtain best performance
|
|
user-space applications accessing the device
|
|
should do so with aligned buffers.
