we have it.
* st_unmount(): reset density to the device default. This prevents using
stale density values after changing to a medium with different density.
Section 9.3.3 of the SCSI specs states that a device shall return the
density value specified in the last succesfull MODE SELECT after an
unload operation, in case it is not able to automatically determine
the density of the new medium.
after all, probing the device for acceptable parameters.
* In st_loadquirks(), copy mode-specific quirks from the quirk table
to `st_softc'; otherwise all such quirks save ST_Q_FORCE_BLKSIZE are ignored.
This is an attempt to allow people to change the default configuration
to try harder at 'mounting' a tape. This allows you to specify, in
seconds, the amount of time a non-control unit open will retry
(once per second) the scsipi_test_unit_ready when it tries to mount
the tape. It also turns off the over-verbose error reporting at
this time unless SCSIDEBUG is set.
The reason this is not enabled as a default is that it's a large change
of behaviour. I find it useful to 'try harder' at mounting a tape in
the tape driver, particularly when loaded via a media changer device
rather than specifying the delays in the backup program.
- `flags' is now gone, replaced with `xs_control' and `xs_status'.
- Massive cleanup of the control flags. Now we explicitly say that
a job is to complete asynchronously, rather than relying on side-effects,
and use a new flag to now that device discovery is being performed.
- Do SCSI device discovery interrupt-driven.
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.
