Anyway, just because a drive doesn't support the LOAD (to BOT) command does
not mean that the drive doesn't support the UNLOAD command. Also note and
print errors in rewinds and unloads (and errors in writing closing filemarks
for same).
scsi_base.c to scsipi_base.c. Rename the functions from scsi_verbose.c
too, and rename the file itself. Cleaup includes too (scsi_*.h should not
be #included in scsipi_*.h files, which are supposed to be
common to atapi and scsi).
opened norewind and 2 filemarks are written at the end a phantom file
is left (just what I was afraid of, but I didn't think about it in
the last delta because somehow I had managed to convince myself that
this was a nonissue. It's not.).
So- in stdone clear ST_WRITTEN for regular reads. In st_close, preserve
the state of ST_WRITTEN, and if no error and 2FM@EOD for this device and
this is a no-rewind open, backspace one filemark. This should preserve
(for this mount session) FILE - FMK - FILE - FMK - FILE ... FILE FMK FMK EOD
sequencing.
This doesn't clean up the case of EOM appends- in this case you *will* still
get (after an MTEOM operation and a write of a file) a phantom empty file,
e.g. FILE - FMK FMK - FILE - FMK FMK EOD *unless* you follow the EOM operation
with an explicit backspace. The trouble is that this makes it difficult for
seamless interchange with other systems which don't necessarily follow.
The preferrable alternative would be to eliminate the 2FM@EOD except for
1/2" Reel tapes, but that has been pretty much nixed within developers.
filemark 'coz you opened write only and didn't do anything else,
call st_check_eod to possibly write TWO furshlugginer filemarks.
Also- return any errors from writing filemarks out of stclose.
like a no-rewind device. Secondly figure out whether the initial TUR
for a CTRL_MODE open resulted in a tape being actually found (if so,
then do a mount session).
Move the 'sun compatibility' behaviour into stdone && stclose- don't
mark a tape as having been written in stopenm, fer gosh sakes.
Also- to be fair and on review, kern/391 isn't really addressed by
the previous commits. In reviewing, I'm embarassed to find that this
talks about reading at EOT. I'm actually going to claim that this
is 'not a bug' or 'fixed already' in that at the end of media (at the
edge of recorded media), you may continuously open the tape (should
you choose to) issue a read, and zero bytes will transfer- this is a
sufficient EOF indicator.
a now unused variable. Also, remove the restriction against at density
code being greater than the max SCSI 2 density code: 0x80..0xff are the
Vendor Unique codes and most certainly should be allowed. The check for
invalid values should be less than 0 or greater than 255.
Oh- yeah, the previous commit addressed kern/391.
EOM_PENDING. Set up a persistent EARLYWARNING behaviour flag. If
set, EOM behaviour forces a 'short read' to signal logical (as
opposed to physical) end of media. The user application may, of
course, do with this information what it will.
The EARLYWARNING behaviour may be enabled/disabled by a MTIOCTOP
operation. The default action is to not have EARLYWARNING enabled-
but this may be reversed by an option ST_ENABLE_EARLYWARN in
the kernel build.
("CTLMODE") subdevice. There are legitimate uses for raw commands with
normal tape handles too.
[I'm not sure if this is a final solution. Administrators might want
to set up a more finegrained policy. However, this should not be mixed
with the "set defaults" semantics of the "CTLMODE" subdevice; another
flag should be used instead (eg execute permission or a minor number bit).]
1) Quirk entries for Storage Tek 9490 (Timberline) and D3 (Redwood)
drives.
2) Modification to st_loadtape to do a REWIND to BOT if the
action is a load and the tape doesn't support the LOAD command
(9490, SD3, and IBM 3590).
3) Cleaned up the 'undersized user record' error message to
make a little more sense.
Various bug fixes:
kern/1275: Now returns values in dsreg and erreg and sets resid
(as best as it can for a 16 but integer). See also
a recent change to mtio.h. We are declining to fix
the portion of this bug about naming a more specific
SCSI device. Since there is nothing programmatic
you can do with that information, it is not useful
to pass back at this time.
A side effect of this change is that doing MTIOCGET
also forces a mode sense (to get the current state
of WRITE PROTECT).
kern/5647: Now no longer logs to the console ILI or Filemark or (first)
EOM (on write) errors (unless SCSIDEBUG is set).
kern/5525: Substantially increased timeouts for a variety of
operations, and split them into categories of
I/O, Space, and Control operations (each have
likely different inherent times). I/O is for
reads/writes. Control is for mode sense/select.
Space is for spacing the tape.
Until EOM handling is changed, though kern/391 is still not fixed. A side
effect of EOM handling is that you now always 'lose' (to the writing
application's view) the last write since EIO is what is returned on
EOM detection during writes. Hopefully the reader applications don't
get too bent out of shape by this.
pseudo-device rnd # /dev/random and in-kernel generator

o Add declaration to all architectures.
o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.
- dereference a pointer to function explicitly.
- fold long line to fit columns < 80.
- put whitespaces around a binary operator.
- don't put a single statement into a block.
about actual position when reading tape position, you should flush any
pending writes. Well, if the tape is write protected, some drives don't
see the zero count WRITE FILE MARK command as a no-op and complain. Dumb!
- Indent with tab of width 8.
- Use four column to indent continuation line.
- Fold long line if possible.
- Use return (xx) instead of return xx.
- Compare pointer against NULL instead of testing like boolean.
- Delete whitespace at the end of line.
- Delete whitespace in front of function call operator.
- Delete whitespace after cast.
- Dereference a pointer to function explicitly.
- Add an empty line after local variable declaration.
- Use NULL instead of (char *)0.
- Dont use block for single statement.
The method for doing this is to try and use the DATA COMPRESSION mode page
first, followed by the DEVICE CONFIGURATION page (this is because most newer
tape devices are now using DATA COMPRESSION instead of DEVICE CONFIGURATION
pages).
Add in the logical && hardware read position and set position ioctls. Oddly
enough, because NetBSD is limited in having the driver track file && record
numbers, the usual agony over what to do once you use logical or hardware
block positioning can be avoided. Amusing.
Make a minor change so that for SCSIVERBOSE cases that SCSI_SILENT in
the xs' flags is still observed.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
all attempts to mode select, even if the attempted mode is supported.
Add the ST_Q_UNIMODAL quirk for the HP Colorado T4000s which exhibits
this behavior. (Someone please lob a tactical nuke in that direction.)
