timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
struct scsipi_adapter; they were not used.
Add a scsipi_ioctl entry point to struct scsipi_adapter. This will be
used to issue ioctl commands to the host adapters.
Inspired by PR #6090, from Matt Jacob.
Cute buglet: you can end up with zero CCBs if there were no targets
seen by the adapter. Always leave a minimum so the adapter can
finish attaching- it may be there w/o targets for a reason.
more robust in resource shortage situations, basically identical to
code I added to the "ahc" driver some time ago.
Thanks to Brad Spencer for the testing help.
should creation/initialization of a ccb fail. Also, don't panic in
these situations. Instead, simply return an error condition and allow
the caller to deal with it. It may be the case that we were able to
create one ccb what we can grab, and continue to hobble along.
(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.
Every ccb locks 64k of memory for dma buffers.
Instead of AHA_CCB_MAX ccbs using 1MByte only sc_link.openings ccbs
per device are allocated. Thus we now use only 128KByte per device present.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
