The major changes are:
+ 4Gb (24XX) card support
+ Rewritten fabric and loop evaluation code
+ New f/w sets
The 4Gb changes required major rototilling, which caused a rewrite of
fabric and loop eval code. The latter can now be set up to tune for
dynamic device arrival/departure if the framework is set up for it,
or to be firm about waiting for devices.
Testing has been principally on amd64, i386 and sparc64 and seems to
not have broken things for me.
Distinguish between 2312 and 2300 cards (they *are* different). Enable
RIO (Reduced Interrupt Operation) for the LVD cards (hey- I've seen
batched completions of the 30 commands at a time with this,....)...
If we get a Port Logout on local loop topologies, we have to force the
f/w to log back in. The easiest way (for us) to do this is to force
a LIP. This also will wake up the disk that probably just had a f/w crash.
Implement mailbox 'continuations'- this allows interrupts to re-drive
a mailbox command if it's one that just essentially repeats the previous
mailbox command (e.g., f/w download). This saves a boatload of sleep/wakeup
twitches.
If we're not a 2300 and we're about to return with a 'bogus interrupt'- check
the semaphore register to be non-zero at all and outgoing mailbox 0- this
seems to be where some of the lost ISP1080 commands came from.
firmware to delay completion of commands so that it can attempt to batch
a bunch of completions at once- either returning 16 bit handles in mailbox
registers, or in a resposne queue entry that has a whole wad of 16 bit handles.
Distinguish between 2300 and 2312 chipsets- if only because the revisions
on the chips have different meanings.
Add more instrumentation plus ISP_GET_STATS and ISP_CLR_STATS ioctls.
Run up the maximum number of response queue entities we'll look at
per interrupt.
If we haven't set HBA role yet, always return success from isp_fc_runstate.
