on disks in a generic way. Implement these ioctls for SCSI disks.
This is not fully fleshed-out yet, but it allows people to experiment
with disk caches more easily.
This is a completely rewritten scsipi_xfer execution engine, and the
associated changes to HBA drivers. Overview of changes & features:
- All xfers are queued in the mid-layer, rather than doing so in an
ad-hoc fashion in individual adapter drivers.
- Adapter/channel resource management in the mid-layer, avoids even trying
to start running an xfer if the adapter/channel doesn't have the resources.
- Better communication between the mid-layer and the adapters.
- Asynchronous event notification mechanism from adapter to mid-layer and
peripherals.
- Better peripheral queue management: freeze/thaw, sorted requeueing during
recovery, etc.
- Clean separation of peripherals, adapters, and adapter channels (no more
scsipi_link).
- Kernel thread for each scsipi_channel makes error recovery much easier
(no more dealing with interrupt context when recovering from an error).
- Mid-layer support for tagged queueing: commands can have the tag type
set explicitly, tag IDs are allocated in the mid-layer (thus eliminating
the need to use buggy tag ID allocation schemes in many adapter drivers).
- support for QUEUE FULL and CHECK CONDITION status in mid-layer; the command
will be requeued, or a REQUEST SENSE will be sent as appropriate.
Just before the merge syssrc has been tagged with thorpej_scsipi_beforemerge
- `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.
-store printable product ID in cd's and sd's softc, use it as "typename"
-for this, add a "destination buffer length" argument to scsipi_strvis()
-return ATAPI device type for ATAPI devices
operation with address 0 length 0, which, according to the SCSI-2 spec, should
be interpreted as "synchronize all remaining blocks beginning at address 0".
fix 'cd' driver's NCD_SCSI bogosity (was using testing wrong macro!)
clean up in various ways:
* make common atapi_mode_{sense,select}() functions.
* put ATAPI data structures in more sensible headers, split up by
device type.
* include headers a bit more carefully.
* pass flags to attachment-specific cd functions, and use them.
* get rid of SCSI bits in scsipi_base.h's scsipi_make_xs(), move
them into the correct place in scsi_base.c.
* fix minor typo in struct name in scsipiconf.h (which was apparently
never used except in a #define later in the same file).
* use __attribute__ to force 4-byte alignment for xs command store,
so that architectures trying to bus_space_write_multi_N() (where
N > 1) that data to a controller won't lose.
* clean up a few comments in typos, and make a few #defines easier to
understand/maintain.
* rename cd_link.h to cdvar.h (via repository copy). This is exactly
what a 'var' file is supposed to be.
