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
- 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.
(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.)
