SIP_EVENT_COUNTERS.
- Decrease SIP_NTXSEGS to 8 and increase SIP_TXQUEUELEN to 256.
This gives us 256 transmit jobs with only twice the descriptor
memory footprint. This prevents stalling transmissions due to
lack of transmit jobs under heavy load.
- Increase SIP_NRXDESC to 128 so we don't run out of receive descriptors
under extreme load.
- As recommended by the manual, leave one descriptor in the transmit ring
with OWN clear to prevent wrap-around.
- Even though the manual claims that driver software must initialize
TXDP if there are no pending transmissions when a new transmission
is to be initialized, doing so causes serious performance degredation
on the DP83820 under heavy load. Not initializing TXDP also increases
performance on the DP83815.
All of this gets us up to ~90Mb/s on both the DP83820 and DP83815 when
connected to a 100base network.
DP83820. The DP83820 definitions are wrapped in #ifdef DP83820, since
there are enough differences that a single binary object would not be
able to efficiently drive both the DP83815 and DP83820.
to guess the pciide capabilities, rather than trying to guess it by ourselve.
Add preliminary support for the 686b (Ultra/100) guessed from FreeBSD/linux
driver (datasheet not publically available, I contacted via).
Let chip-specific map routine do the autoconf printf if ide_name is NULL
(they may have more details about the controller than we have in pciide_attach)
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
need to explicitly relatch the interrupt when firing it up again. So, in the
trigger routines, explicitly disable and reenable the interrupt to relatch it,
like we do in the interrupt routine.
Also clean up some broken loop overrun checks.
My ES1371 seems to be more reliable now, but I'm not going to pretend to fully
understand this chip.
XXX Currently disabled by default because it has some problems on macppc.
XXX Maybe some more initialization is needed, but there is few information
XXX about the chips.
change DLT type to cisco HDLC, as lmc driver is hardwired to cisco HDLC
on driver attach. XXX we may need to revisit this, as if_spppsubr may want
to alter this later.
saves about 2.2MB under /usr/include/dev/. Discussed on tech-kern@
recently.
I HOPE to get the list right. The headers I left in are ones
used for MI tools and those whose usage I discovered by grep over tree sources.
Feel free to put needed includes back in if you encounter anything which
should not be removed from lists.
