Actually, this is added to the siop2_script; should we ever support another
siopng board that does connect something else to GPREG bit 4, we'll have
to move this to C code and make it optional.
OTOH, by then we'll have switched to the MI driver by then.
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
bus. Without this, cbiiisc used to hang if nothing was connected.
Reported by Matthias Scheler. A similar method to avoid this was suggested
by Ralph Schmidt.
siop2.c. Add wide negotiation and Ultra support. Modify siop.c to match
the siop2.c sync negotiation changes. The CyberStorm MKIII driver now
supports 15 targets. Remove some old table-driven sync rate stuff from
the original Zeus driver.
when disconnecting etc., how much data were transferred, has changed.
Symptom: SIOP invalid instructions when doing data transfers to disks that
disconnect.
XXX The bits etc. need to be defined correctly in the siopreg.h file, and
symbolic values used.
