- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
if the CPP symbols LE_TINT_HOOK and LE_RINT_HOOK are defined, respectively.
The hooks are called by jumping though the sc_tint_hook and sc_rint_hook
members of the softc, and take the softc as an argument. Only ports which
need these hooks need to declare them in the softc.
also defines tc device. does _not_ define le driver, because
of conflicts with other (e.g. ISA) le drivers. (Alpha kernel
configuration files include files.isa and files.tc.)
should work properly with:
(1) LANCE chips hanging off the system IOCTL asic,
(2) LANCE chips TurboChannel option boards.
Support for various PMAX-family baseboard options isn't yet in this
file, but should be easy to add.
deal with stuff like:
(1) configuring built-in devices,
(2) looking at TC slots configuring any devices found.
The lists of slots, slot locations, etc. and built-in devices
are provided by machine-dependent code. Interrupt handling
is also provided by machine-dependent code, but the MD code provides
hooks so that standard names for 'establish' and 'disestablish'
can be used in drivers.
This code requires <machine/tc_machdep.h>, which defines some
portability types specific to the TurboChannel bus code.
in a 6-byte read/write cdb (namely, length == 0 really means 256), and
that we handle this conservatively by limiting the transfer to 255 blocks.
*sigh* One just never knows how a pre-scsi-1 device is going to behave.
If the read or write request can fit into a 6-byte cdb, then
use a 6-byte cdb, otherwise use the 10-byte as before.
In sd.c:
In sdattach(), make a note if the device is "ancient" (i.e.
inqbuf.version & SID_ANSII == 0).
Implement sdminphys(): if the device is "ancient", shorten the
transfer so it will fit into a 6-byte cdb.
These changes have eliminated the rejected read/write requests on my
Sun 3/60 with 2 ESDI disks behind an Emulex MD21.
again, and it turned NetBSD in ostype[] to N^CtBSD... Thanks Charles (again)
Also call epstop() in the attach routine to make sure that the pci card
gets reset properly.
